— Ace Corrected: It looks like this isn't actually a biopic of L. Ron Hubbard, but rather a fictionalized version of it.
Why? I don't know. Lawsuits, I guess.
Because it's just made up, and sort of lame for that, I'm thinking it's not "Something" any more.

I did not realize that The Master was about L. Ron Hubbard. I'm shocked that this got made in that case.
When Aleister Crowley thinks you're a charlatan, you've got problems.
Words to live by.

Sergio Garcia, 35, of Chico, Calif., has met the rules for admission, including passing the bar exam and the moral character review, and his lack of legal status in the United States should not automatically disqualify him, the Committee of Bar Examiners said Monday.
“ … Mr. Garcia’s status in the United States, should not, ipso facto, be grounds for excluding him from law licensure. He has met all of the prescribed qualifications and there is no reason to believe he cannot take the oath and faithfully uphold his duties as an attorney,” the bar said.
I guess because he admitted his is an illegal immigrant, that it helps his moral character review.

"Parsons and Hubbard collaborated on the "Babalon Working", a sex magic ritual intended to summon an incarnation of Babalon, the Mother of Abominations."
The thing about sex magic rituals is even when they aren't successful, they are still pretty successful.

Considering that the Scientoologists have pretty much set the curve on lawfare, I'm not so sure it as much cowardice as it is rational response to plainly obvious behavior.

I can safely say that the male members of the Moron Horde are the most spiritual people on this planet. Jesus Christ, the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Ghandi, and all incarnations of the Pope could not collectively touch the level of "spirituality" achieved by our Morons. We've probably accounted for enough spiritual advancement to achieve enlightenment and ascendancy a thousand times over.

OMFG. You are SO right.
And it wouldn't be Snap, since he's a chef and therefore gainfully employed in a service profession that would require Krugman to sully his lily white, delicate hands. Krugman could never accept such a person as his father.
And it's definitely not Pop, because he's ... I don't know if he's military or in a marching band, but we know the Krug hates the military and he'd probably be a shitty tuba player, so Pop's out.
That leaves Crackle. Crackle, who wears the striped sleeping cap and wear's a douchey neckerchief and a smock.
Oh yes. Crackle's the culprit.
