and for the record...CRASH conspiracy theories

I actually really liked CRASH - and thought it was much lass cliche than Brokeback, and had greater respect & sympathy for "groups" who are particularly judged by others.

Everyone in Hollywood gushed about it when it came out, and then come Brokeback they all acted like they never saw the film or went on high-minded tirades about cultural equality and prejudice.

Regardless, Paul Haggis is a Scientologist - and the Oscar upset raised some eyebrows. Here's a list of some thoughts as to way Crash won and Brokeback didn't.

Tom Cruise kills people

Scientology has had it rough the past few months - first TomKat, then TomKat, then Isaac Hayes, and now the cult is being blamed for the murder of a mother by her scizophrenic son. Both were Scientologists, and the son was being treated at the Centre.

Cruise and Scientology have been in the news lately because of an allegedly censored “South Park” parody of the religion — and now Scientology and the “Top Gun” star are being blamed for a woman’s death.

“Thanks, Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology, for your expert advice on mental health,” blasts an ad in LA Weekly. The ad goes on to say that a woman was killed “by the schizophrenic son she was told to treat with vitamins instead of psychiatric care.”
