If we just get to see the crazy Scientology stories put out by Jaden Smith and Tom Cruise I fail to see how this could be anything other than the greatest television station ever.
Lol, I bet your sci-fi wasn't even good enough to found a religion/cult with vast connections and celebrities that are clambering over each other to join
No way is he shit tier, I'd go as high as mediocre at best, but I unironically loved battlefield Earth.
He's no Ray Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Piers Anthony (to an extent) but B:E was not shit tier. War of the world's, yeah. There's a reason I'm selling all of those books, they're awful, but B:E doesn't make my shit list
I'll give you Orson Scott Card, but Enders game was good, everyone loves it though so it's pandering to say that. Ray Bradbury though has some lesser-known-but-still-good shit, though my all time favorite from him is Illustrated Man. Pier's Anthony is definitely not YA imo, maybe some of his fantasy stuff but that's fantasy anyways: always appealing to children. His sci-fi fantasy is definitely great, though.
Yes! Fun fact, the Scientology Celebrity Center was like right across the street from the UCB's LA theater, so they encountered plenty of scientology weirdness.
How cheap do they have to be for not letting this happening sooner? I thought they already had something like that, given how many suckers they pulled in.
If they start screening L Ron hubard books remade into film or TV shows it will be better than all those not good mind you he was a trash writer but better than all that shit.
I got a bill from the church of Scientology in Portland. I've never been to Portland. I watched an anti Scientology documentary and 3 weeks later I got a bill in the mail. I just got another one yesterday. It says "advanced donation for auditing: unpaid" wtf?
Anyways it's creepy as fuck. Especially because my last name is hard to spell and they knew I'm currently living wth my parents. I'm calling them tomorrow to answer I'm putting on my "talk with the manager" hair.
I've tweeted them and they don't even reply to me. Maybe my space aura's off. :( I found where their church is in Edinburgh though, I'll go up and give them a piece of my mind I think.

Is Jaden a Scientologist? I kind of thought he had his own brand of crazy

Not for nothing, but if they do a miniseries remake of Battlefield Earth that actually follows the original novel, I'm in.

Hell yeah, saw the original movie and it was so awful. Battlefield Earth but remade by HBO would be awesome too

A squirrel could write better science fiction than hubbard.

I bet you think writingprompts has decent writing

Battlefield Earth is shit tier science fiction. Thats just a fucking fact, its not even debatable. You probably read dan brown without laughing.

Sorry, only children and scientologists like battlefield earth.

Ender? What about speaker and xenocide?
1 TheRootinTootinPutin 2018-03-11
What about Children of the Mind?
1 MarlaMaplesIsMyWaifu 2018-03-11
The writing prompts on that sub are far worse than the writing.
1 TheRootinTootinPutin 2018-03-11
True; it's like an edgy teenagers fantasy

I hope DICE makes a Battlefield Earth game.

It will be 24/7 tom cruise movies.
1 Senator_Chickpea 2018-03-11
It'll be re-runs of "Welcome Back Kotter" and the Kirstie Alley episodes of "Cheers."

Can we place bets on whether the programming will be better or worse than watching The View, Girls, or an Amy Schumer special?

I watched some documentaries and once you're on their mailing list you're supposedly never getting off it.
There were people who moved multiple time and somehow were still getting letters 10 yeras later.

good luck with your first auditing, allison!
