I am originally from Chicago and when this first hit the theatres, our beloved/hated MANCOW made comments about the sex scene being in relation to Cruise's lil $cientology cult.

The odd connection I am making is that L. Ron Hubbard has been linked to satanic cults, (www.xenu.net) and there is a lot more information on Mr. Hubbard's very ODD and sick behavior.

I don't think Cruise pulled Kubrick aside and said, "Hey dood, I got some juicy dirt on to make a wicked sex scene." I find this all, well merely interesting.

What ya'll think?

I'm sorry for whoever thinks this is such a great movie. I saw this flick years ago in my health education class in high school and I think most people in the class laffed. Well yea we were young, but I've seen this and still think it's funny. I have been around boozers this bad and I understand. But I can't get over the scene where Sheen whips out the lawn mower at like 3 AM. I crack up to this day thinking about that scene. I do like the scene where he decides to hit the bar and the kid drives the van home. I learned so much from the enabler crap in that movie, that it seems like anyone who is around that kinda of madness and doesn't talk about it turns into an enabler.

Ed, Barry and Philip did an incredible job on this film. I loved the camera work by Spike and did enjoy the supporting cast of Dawson and Cox. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than what I thought I would have, but there is something I am trying to understand about Ed Norton. In his IMDB profile it states he is very much against smoking, he even goes on a rant about it in the movie Death to Smoochy. I don't mind this, but what I get confused with is in 25th Hour he plays a heroin dealer (heroin socially known as the worse drug out there, Black Death to some.) So he is an advocate against smoking, but plays the charactor of a smack dealer. To me this is awfully contradicting and allows me to question his beliefs. I don't agree with him politically, but I think he is a great actor. I just find it amussing in one film he openly expresses his true beliefs of not smoking (which may have been part of his charactor, but often in Hollywood actors are allowed to do that. Travolta and Cruise with Scientology) but in another film he portrays a smack dealer. Food for thought!
