Well, blaming the bomb on Travolta is (if Marty or anyone else really believed that) is stupid clown superstition. lol
Sure he had a hand in making that movie as abysmally bad as it was.
But, if the film's director and producers and funding sources were dumb enough to a) let Miscavige have any say; b) follow his creative ideas and/or instructions--then
they are to blame, not Miscavige. Does Marty really believe that or is he possibly clueless about the film industry?
I knew people (non-Scientologists) that worked on that movie and all I can say is:
* The acting was atrocious, overwrought and amateurish
* The screenplay was corny, stylized dialogue that took the worst of the 1940s genre and made it unrecognizably worse by Hubbard's cringeworthy plotting and dialogue.
* The production values were hideously bad.
* Costuming was clownish.
The entire production SCOHB (Sucked Cult On Hollywood Boulevard).
If Travolta had half a brain, he would have known (during principal photography or post production) that the film was a humiliating cringefest. He couldn't see that the same way he can't see that Scientology is a complete hoax.
So much for the obnosis of OTs. lol
