Scientologist Elfman wants to ‘clear the planet’ (Hollywood at it's Best)
MSNBC ^ | February 18, 2005 | Jeanette Walls

Posted on 02/18/2005 10:03:26 PM PST by huac

"...“I intend to make Scientology as accessible to as many people as I can. And that is my goal,” Elfman said. To do this, she says, it is my “duty to clear the planet.” By “clearing” she means to rid the world of “body thetans” — aliens who Scientologists believe inhabit the earth from a nuclear explosion 75 million years ago..."

The Cult of ScientologyTM has the goal of "clearing the planet" of all its excess cash wasting space in people's bank accounts.

Coincidentally, the featured article today on Wikipedia is the entry on Xenu.

"The word ScientologistTM does not appear anywhere on the site thewaytohappiness.org "

I think that's my major beef with the organization. Their bedrock means of recruiting is always by deception whether it is with 'reading programs,' 'stress tests,' 'acting schools,' 'purification rundowns.' It's not an abstract objection that I have, but rather from witnessing the damage they have done to people. My friend who briefly fell for the 'acting class' deception doled out a lot of cash before she wised up. After she left them they employed coercive and intimidating tactics to get her back. They really have a 'by any means necessary' approach to recruitment. The '70's are over. You'd think people would be wised up to this sort of thing by now.

Yea that caught my attention too. I don’t know where Jenna or Danny got their stage names. Being that she was born in LA in 71, maybe she was a Boingo fan as she was breaking into the business.

The authors you list were "Communists" were from a different time. Depending on their level of devotion, they would at worst fall under the useful idiot category. I can't see an American who had a problem with poverty like Steinbeck french kissing scum like Castro in the fashion of Spielberg or Stone. Especially in light of the concrete evidence that Spielberg and Stone have of Castro's crimes against the Cuban people(100 million dead from this idealogy-with London, the evils of Communism were not yet as obvious and the full fledged slaughter had not been made common knowledge-thanks to the NYT and it's Pulitzer Prize winning Duranty). It sounds to me like you are a cineaste and can judge a work on it's merits, divorced from the background of the creator. I find that difficult. Leni Riefenstahl comes to mind. I am comparing Castro to Hitler. He is just as evil, fortunately he doesn't have the means Hitler did. Speilberg's devotion to him is sickening. He thinks that a crime was committed against the Jews but he could care less about the Cubans in Castro's gulags. I think my problem is that I feel that movies have supplanted the written or intelligent spoken word in power. Schindler's List is a good example. You are right, you can't, indeed shouldn't, compare it to Schindler's List. Shoah is history. Schindler's List is entertainment. Many people saw SL. Nobody saw Shoah. That is a tragedy. The Holocaust should never be viewed as "entertainment". I realize this example is rather extreme. Ultimately, I really despise Hollywood. When a Hollywood elite such as Sean Penn or Amanda Peet condemn American culture or America as the problem in the world, when it's obvious that what an average, fundementalist Muslim father hates most about America is the crap that Hollywood spews out, I get frustrated. When Speilberg, who has to know what Cubans who have been tortured under Castro's regime have to say about him, still praises him or Stone actually makes a movie celebrating him, it's too much. I suppose that these sentiments account for my taste. Although in truth, I have never seen a movie of his that I truly liked. Even beofre I became political. He caters to a particular mentality. "AI" didn't interest me. "LA Confidential" did. No acounting for taste I suppose.

I suppose it expalins why she was such a big Clinton supporter when she was at CNN. Not only is she a Lefty, she's a loon. I wish Roger Ailes would reconsider and give her show to someone with a little decency.

Yes I recall hearing about it and no, I don't have the name. It's a reading program they "benevolently donated" to get more government brownie points. Maybe someone else will know its name.

Shhhh asking how much is interpreted by the Church of $cientology that you are interested in buying. They will take whatever you have for collateral. Buyer beware.

Allow me to tell you what a working actor/performer is.

I was one.

I was not a star nor did I strive to become one. I was a journeyman performer for much of 25 years. I was a regional actor (successfully) working just about every legitimate stage, east of the Mississippi.

I toured in over 200 separate productions.

I received my Classical Training on the road, not at an accredited Artist's College....but I kept got getting callbacks.

One of the things I do know. There is no politics before the stage lights come up....nor is there any apparent, during the grueling rehearsal periods...the cue to cue...or the damn stressful Opening Night!

The national and international success that we are commenting about...are experienced by a very select few.

The people in question...are the lucky few, who have for reasons..of pure luck..and looks...hit the top of the pyramid. Such is the same in any industry.

Their luck has nothing to do with intelligence.

Did you know she was in ZZ Top's video "Legs"?

Actually, that was Melanie Griffith. Jenna Elfman would have barely been a teenager when "Legs" came out.

---She definitely needs a brain transplant.---

That implies that she already has a brain [of some sort]. What she really needs is a brain "implant".

"...And you know, you get that panic: "Oh, God! Ohhhh!" I got in the car and I was all frazzled and starting to cry and was rushed, and I couldn't think. I couldn't even put my seatbelt on. I was just a mess. Then I went, Wait a minute--that's purely reactive and insane..."

The Holocaust should never be viewed as "entertainment".

Sounds like Adorno's famous 'There's no poetry after Auschwitz' remark. I disagree. All human experience should be avaialble to the artist. And great art has come out of the Holocaust experience...Elie Weisel's work, Night and Fog.

Amanda Peet is a Hollywood elite? :-) Most people don't know who she is. But why the groupthink? Obviously lots of junk movies come out every year but that has nothing to do with her. It's not a massive team meeting for every piece of schlock. But a varied industry with hundreds of artisans trying to get their vision across in the face of very big odds considering the money involved. But there's lots of people who simply don't like the medium of film and that's fine.

Thats what I was thinking. Elfmann the scientology lunatic was born in '71. Legs was when? Late 70's early 80's tops.
