Special Guests: Craig Baldwin & Adam ParfreyIn the first of our two-part series on Scientology in Film, we look at Craig Baldwin's Mock Up on Mu, a story of sex magick, science fiction, and technology.
We discuss Jack Parsons, one of the "characters" in Mock Up with Adam Parfrey of Feral House, the publishers of Sex & Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons. We also discuss Peter Alexander's The Profit, a re-telling of Scientology-founder L. Ron Hubbard's life, and compare it with Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.

You missed the point of the Laura Dern exchange in The Master. He had made a mistake a minor change in wording that changed the his entire concept, he then made up total bullshit to cover up his mistake. This scene is the key point where they demonstrate that he was in fact making up the entire thing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I missed the point. Seems like there may be multiple readings of it. More my point was that he was shouting her down rather than having a conversation.
