Herald Sun: Louis Theroux at his very best with My Scientology Movie

* * * * * BEGIN CONCLUSION * * * * *

While Rathbun is well-known around the world as an outspoken critic of Scientology — and has participated in many docos and TV programs in the past — his own complicity in some very unsavoury incidents in the past remains open to question.

To his credit, Theroux keeps pressing Rathbun with that question, and his angry responses point My Scientology in yet another intriguing direction.

Though Theroux obviously knew what he was in for by addressing such a hot-button topic as Scientology, his shock and confusion in moments of extreme duress are genuine (as is his determination to at least attempt a balanced assessment of his subject.)

It can sometimes be amusing viewing, but like Theroux’s finest TV work, it is always both revealing and disturbing in equal measure.

I just got back from seeing the movie. I loved it! I laughed a lot (mostly because there was some funny scenes, but also because I was embarrassed that I ever yelled at an ashtray).

I think I understand why Marty has lost the plot. He does not come off well in this movie.

It's hard to say anything here because I don't want to spoil it for you guys who have yet to see it. All I can say is to do yourselves a favour & go out for a "date night" with the spouse & have a good laugh.

I would like it if you would say more, because it's going to be a while before those of us in the US will be able to see it.

Ok, when I get home tonight I'll put up a post with lots of Spoiler warnings so people can skip the thread.

You were embarrassed? What about the ashtray? Try as it could, it couldn't stand up. Can you imagine how demoralized it felt? Day after day it just sat there. Occasionally a student took pity on it and put it on a chair and off and on lifted it into the air. Can you imagine how much at effect it felt? People yelling at it, moving it around without so much as a single "can you help me improve my intention?" Or the slightest expression of affinity for a job well done?

So sad. :(

Exposing the Lies of Marty Rathbun | My Scientology Movie

Steven Mango

Published on Sep 6, 2016

I expose the truth behind what happened on set between Marty Rathbun and the BBC on the film set of My Scientology Movie. In My Scientology Movie, I discuss my story, as well as performed in reenactment scenes of experiences of others within the Church.

Marty Rathbun posted a blog discrediting the BBC and My Scientology Movie. However, I was on set with Marty and I tell the truth of how it was actually working on set with Mr. Rathbun.

Marty's Blog: http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2016/09/05/louis-therouxs-scientology-movie/

Tony Ortega's Blog: http://tonyortega.org/2016/09/06/as-louis-therouxs-scientology-movie-hits-theaters-its-main-subject-accuses-it-of-deception/

.

I noticed this on Steve Mango's public Facebook timeline from ol' Marty:

Mark Rathbun said:
Thanks Steven. You pretty ably and thoroughly confirmed the point I was trying to make in the paragraph at issue. I think if anyone tunes out all the TO innuendo and reads that paragraph carefully and watches Steven's video carefully, they will come to a similar conclusion. In either event, it was a pleasure spending time with you in LA (sorry that my personality deficiencies didn't seem to make it so for you).

You gotta wonder what reality Marty is living in. It's almost like there is a total disconnect from the reality we are in and the one Marty is in. Gotta wonder why Steve doesn't get the same pit bull attack from Marty that everyone else in the "ASC" is getting? Maybe he realizes that a witness from the set speaking out endangers his narrative.

This trailer link showed up over on blu-ray.com. It is spun as a comedy but somehow I don't think of Scientology in that way. [I slogged through the rest of this thread and the AU trailer makes it clear that actors were employed whereas the one I am posting doesn't.]

the Fookers Cancelled It!

I just checked the Program for the Port Townsend Film Festival, and discovered that "MY Scientology Movie" was no longer scheduled for Sunday night. I called them up and I was told that the Film had been cancelled. That it was pulled by Magnolia Pictures, the Distributor. That the Film had been pulled from all the Theaters. :omg::no: WTF!!!

They have just cancelled " My Scientology Movie" from the Port Townsend Film Festival. It was to be shown Sunday nite. I looked at the Program on the Web to check the time and it was no longer on the program. So I called and the Lady said that it had been cancelled. Cancelled by the Distributor, Magnolia Pictures. Cancelled in all the Festivals and Theaters.:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

How can they still be this stupid?


ANSWER: Because they still are that stupid.

The answer seems flippant but it's paradoxical--considering the last 66 years of bragging that scientologists have done about their advanced technology, superior knowingness and paranormal powers.

While religiously following Hubbard's PR tech that fails with disastrous results at every turn, scientologists will nonetheless proudly declare unprecedented wins; because. . .


The Supreme Test of a [STRIKE]thetan[/STRIKE] scientologist is
the ability to
[STRIKE]make[/STRIKE] fake it [STRIKE]go[/STRIKE]
going right.

Further confirmation the Port Townsend Film Festival has cancelled and replaced My Scientology Movie. The Google cached version of the festival's Events page lists "Movie Meet Andrew Perez following My Scientology Movie." The current version of the page omits that event.
