Ah, Scientology, a woo-fest close to my own heart. My cousin got involved with them for a bit while she was out west trying to make it as an actress. They even arranged a marriage for her and everything. Her family ended up hiring some deprogramming guy, who supposedly cured her of her whackiness. She ended up marrying a former Catholic guy who had converted to (and became a Rabbi in) Orthodox Judaism, convered herself and now she puts up with a bunch of cultish indoctrination rituals and rules... but they're mainstream cultish indoctrination rituals and rules, so that makes it TOTALLY different than the strict behavioral and social rules of Scientology... yea.

The positive outcome was that all of this led me to doing a lot of research on Scientology, which taught me all about their particular brand of bullshit. It also made me sad that Beck is wrapped up in that idiocy. Oh well.

I can't stand him and he makes me feel really "eugh," but I have to confess that some of his films are among my guiltiest pleasures. :-\

Ditto. Luckily, I'm still able to separate my dislike of him from the work he does....he hasn't quite reached OSC status. Yet.
