I spent a lot of time at a local planetarium when I was in highschool, and one
of the technicians use to go out and buy 100's of bucks worth of silly albums.
She and I would listen to them, looking for useful noises for planetarium
shows, and giggle a lot.. One day she came back with the soundtrack to the afore
mentioned book.. "A sound track to a book??" I thought it sounded really tacky
at the time, lots of over dramatic voices.. Sounded like a bastardized opera..
I'm biased however.. My step-father is very much into scientology (founded by
one and the same L. Ron Hubard..) He spends thousands of dollars on these
scientology classes and wont even pay for my mother's glaucoma operation..
It makes me nauseous just thinking about all the money this scum ball must be
making off of this stuff.. I read a portion of the book when I went too visit
my mother last summer, if you are aware of them there are references to
scientology all through the book.. The only reference I can remember now is the
thing about MEST, matter, energy, space and time.. which are all separate things
according to Mr. Hubard.. Of what religious value this is I do not know..
I would be quite happy if this whole movie business was a monsterous flop..

Must everything be taken as RELIGIOUS? Could Mr. Hubbard have, being of sound
mind, written a book just for the pleasure of writing a book??

>I would be quite happy if this whole movie business was a >monsterous flop.. Well, leaders of cults are not the best people to make films if history is any guide. Rev. Moon's INCHON died on the screen. It seems that people who know how to run cults just don't know a lot about film and try to lecture. That kills a film really quickly. (Really good musical score, though. It probably will never be heard because it is attached to such a flop.) Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper

I read Battlefield Earth and found it entertaining.
