I want to see that Louis thing! Is it out yet? Is this going to cinemas or TV?
About time someone exposed that Mafiosa Ponzi sceme that is Scientology.
On that point add "The Master" to this list. It will bore some people but I thought it was amazing.
Louis has said it's out later this year but hasn't given any specific date yet.Originally Posted by Blue in the Face
Just looked it up. It's a Cannes now which means distributors will be buying the rights this week. Could be a while before it comes out if they want to go for the Oscar...

Trumbo is pretty good and worth a watch. Bryan Cranston is brilliant as usual.
I missed that when it was out in the cinemas. It looked very good from the clips. Will look out for it.
I've just finished watching all 6 seasons of Breaking Bad in a 2 month binge so want to see what Brian Cranston is like when he isn't Walter White.
Watched this - "Going Clear", a revealing doc about the warped industry that is Scientology. Brilliant. Imagine a few on here will love it as much as I did. Think it's on Netflix...
Yeah it fantastic, fascinating and terrifying.
Louis Theroux has a long delayed doc on Scientology coming out next month. Should be good.

Think the Colonel posted a trailer for that somewhere in this thread. Looks ****ing great. The whole subject is fascinating. It's like all these folks get caught in this militaristic ponzi scheme where you have to live by a schizophrenic code. Great that it's in the autumn slot which means the distributors think it's Oscar worthy. Louis deserves the recognition.
The interesting thing I got from the Going Clear doc is that Scientology is really on a massive decline, but it's just become a money laundering front to hide it's money on real estate around the world. It only has 50k members but the company value is in the billions. If the US taxman gets back on their asses the whole scam would disappear.
Just watched the Louis Theroux Scientology doc.
Its very good,a lot less dry than Going Clear though just as revealing.
A few familiar faces from Going Clear, Marty Rathbun in particular is his main companion through the film though he comes across quite differently than previously seen.
The constant surveilance of him and Louis is staggering, cant quite see what they hope to achieve from it apart from looking even more like a lunatic cult than they usually do.
Well worth a watch, 1hr 40mins , not to dense but full of eye opening content.
My guess is the Scientology agenda is for the US government to not reverse their decision of recognising scientology as a religion so they can avoid paying hundreds of millions in tax. The whole thing seems to have become a tax haven front for what is now a multi billion dollar property empire. Films like this threaten to blow the lid I guess.
