@VioletEyedDragon: It's poisonous because there is a great community of users on here that just want to talk about movies, but you repeatedly make outlandish remarks that are often hypocritical, or come from your own wild assumptions based on pre-conceived notions, that completely derail discussions because everyone focuses on debating your wild comment instead of the topic at hand.

If you had an issue over a film that actually has merit then I would have no problem with you spreading your views. It's just the only thing anyone except the filmmakers know about this film is that it is about a guy in the 50s who starts a religion. You condemning it before seeing it and assuming that it will be disrespectful and prejudiced based on your preconceived notions is prejudice in itself. That's my problem. That's what makes you a hypocrite. That is why I find your discussion points to be poisonous.

@VioletEyedDragon: Was I not clear enough? I mean to say that it shouldn't matter if this film blatantly trashes and misrepresents Scientology, or sublimely informs a larger religious truth. It's a god damned movie and shouldn't be held accountable to someone offended by it's subject matter. If it is not to your tastes, then move along.

@Suedehead: I think the fact that a film could potentially spread hurtful and untrue rumors about something very important too people is very relevant to the discussion.

@jasonefmonk: Are you seriously saying that a film perpetuating ridiculous myths that lead to prejudice and disrespect is something no one should take notice of?

@jasonefmonk: @VioletEyedDragon: I think he's saying that grown ups know that it's just a movie and it should be taken with a grain of salt. Anyone who joins Scientology knows that the majority of people in this country highly look down upon it. If you get offended by the fact that the majority of the country views your religion as a hoax, then you should have never joined the religion in the first place.

And I don't have anything against you personally. I don't know you at all, but you seem like a nice guy who has his heart in the right place. I respect your opinion because it seems to be genuine. I'm not out to challenge your views, just the basis in which they are formed. Take it as me keeping you in check with long winded, and sometimes heated, debate. :)

That trailer brought back greats like Alien, Dirty Harry, and similar.

Trailers that good are rare these days.
