Boycott: Valkyrie (Tom Cruise, Scientology)

[coralin378]

Germany is smart to ban this scamming "religion"

I wish the rest of the world follows this example

[luvmaika]

Tom looks unusually comfortable in that nazi uniform. Omg Tom cruise, scientology, nazi party. It's all clear to me now.

-Lisa Mcpherson

[downwiththeswickness]

Good for the Germans. Scientology IS a dangerous cult. I hope they start a trend. L. R. Hubbard is one of the biggest scam artist, frauds of ALL TIME.

[ThurmanMerman15]

I cant help but watch this and think bullshit!

[therealmadwombat]

I have no interest in seeing this movie. It's just another excuse for Tom (action midget) Cruise to pretend he was ever someone important! He can suck the filthiest transsexuals left nut or win the next Olympics for all I care!

[etsneroj]

There's no conceptual difference between scientology and older religions. They're all based on demonstrable falsehoods. It doesn't really make sense to single out scientology for a strike.

[ampegged]

What a sick worthless loser.

[burkedevlin67]

Tom Cruise is creep. Oh...Anyone in this forum ever bother to dig up a little more on Von Staffenberg? Originally, he was a very big Hitler fan.The film NEVER even addressed, and was more about him being the center of attention than "saving" Germany. Funny how Hollyweird just does whatever the fuck it wants to distort historical facts just to make a buck. And by the way, how many more Holocash movies must we endure?

[Berlin1811]

can't say that I have on Von Staffenberg.

[ZerqTM]

the germans know fashism when they see it.

[happynurse63]

i totally boycott anything the freaks of $cientology create/or are involved in!!!

crash & burn $cientology.......

[Berlin1811]

I don't support Cruise in his belief of Scientology, but it is his right and privilege to choose his religion/cult. As for the movie, I believe that Cruise, along with all the other excellent actors involved, did this historical monument of Germany's heros great justice and honor, and it should be viewed by those who jump to conclusions on it simply because on a man's beliefs in his life outside the film. LONG LIVE OUR SACRED GERMANY!

[Toasty3D]

Noble of you, but Anonymous does NOT protest the idea that people should be allowed to choose a religion. Anonymous protests the wrong doings of CoS and believes that it is wrong for them to recieve so much money from "brainwashing their members" and get away with it.

[Berlin1811]

Your devotion to this movement is admirable in turn Toasty. I think scientology is also an outrageous cult, and I hope that one day Cruise and many other followers see the light and leave it. Again though, I believe Valkyrie is developing a bad rap only because of one actor's beliefs on the top of the credits, while it's in fact an excellent tribute to the good of Germany during WWII, and has nothing to do with condoning the cult. I would not agree to this boycott.

[Toasty3D]

Well, I can't argue with that logic. It was an interesting turn of events in Germany's history.

[brbjuke45]

this moive was best moive all year. tom curise is not my favoirte but hhe did good in this movie

[Patty1917]

Stupid.

[SeloTheHalo]

i dont care if tom cruise bealeves in scientology, this movie is amazing, it has gave me a different prospective of the nazi's and the german army of ww2. Go boycott some other movie but do not boycott this movie. It is not just a movie but it is history that some people had the balls to try and fix germany.

[ThroneJoker]

Wow theres a controversy over everything these days.

[willbond]

$cientology sucks ass, and Tom Cruise is their Nimrod Posterboy. Bottom Line.

[MissK425]

I could care less about Cruise's belief system. I do not have to support any actor, film or sponsor who disregards the sacrifice that American Men & Women made in WWII. I wonder if you would be so willing to give your life for freedom like they did?? Boycotting is the only way the masses have to express their unified disapproval. Does my opinion matter to Cruise...NO but it does to the soap sellers who pimp out such garbage & call it entertainment.

[EricToTheScionti]

I don't get why people are making such a big fucking deal out of this, all things considered, The Church of Scientology is a ridiculous organization, but boycotting a movie isn't going to accomplish anything, furthermore it was a very well produced film, I enjoyed it.

I just don't understand how fucking stupid some people can be, who gives a fuck if Tom Cruise is in the movie, boycotting it isn't going to suddently make Tom Cruise so poor he can't contribute to Scientology.

[kyle9918]

Seen it tonight, was one of the best movies i ever seen

[NaturalSelection2]

Author Paulette Cooper wrote a book denouncing Scientology. Among what the "Church" did in response:

-Framed her on bomb-threat charges,

-Put her name on pornographic mailing lists,

-Stole a legal note from her lawyer to gain an advantage in litigation,

-Made spurious allegations to the internal revenue service about her father's tax affairs,

- Wrote graffiti in public places giving her telephone number and address.

Watch the video first as well.

[NaturalSelection2]

It's a cult.I urge those of you defending Scientology to do some research first.

Nobody should be allowed to give money to a "church" that kills, extorts, and destroys minds out of nothing but greed.

Start by looking up Lisa McPherson, Shawn Lonsdale, Operation Freakout...

[johnsmdm]

you antisemite bastards!

[freejack]

My family and I saw it this morning. It was an awesome film. We loved it. Inspiring and powerful. The cinematography was fantastic and all the actors were superb. Tom Cruise was great. Four thumbs up.

[darius28z]

i want to start a boycott against really stupid fukkers like you who spread this kind of bullshit agenda!! i will be going to see the movie sat for entertainment value!! get it its just a movie.

[riian6]

For god's sake, it's just a movie. If you're against it, then don't spend 10 bucks on it. And let the guy be anything he wants to be. who the hell cares what his religion is. It's because of people like you, the world's in such a f%#@ up state.

[MissK425]

Valkyrie and his buddies wanted to assassinate Hitler thereby creating a power vacuum that they would readily step into and rule as the new regime. I am deeply offended that a movie depicting a Nazi as some kind of heroic figure would be shown at all because thousands of American Men and Women gave their lives in defense of those people that Valkyrie and his kind tried to completely exterminate. I would urge people to boycott this film and its sponsors.

[OMGWTFTHC]

$cientology is NOT a religion its a cult that's reason enough what ever happened to anonymous???

[EricToTheScionti]

You sir, are a fucking idiot. Not all German and all Nazi's for that matter, were evil. Go pick up a fucking history book.

[PaulKeri]

I am behind the Boycott 100%. We need to amke our voices known!

[EvilDOOER]

Scientology was created by a gay child molesting Hollywood wannabe who got other closeted actors to join his cult for exchange in helping them stay in the closet.

Tom Cruise joined for this very reason, and this cult is nothing more then a fraud.

A SCAM!

And should be destroyed...

[jamacianmadness]

dont see it

[mcorbett1977]

If you must see this movie , buy a ticket to a different movie and sneak in . Don't give those fucks your hard earned money .

[JohnDoe280]

Oh, and yes download this piece of crap movie for free.

Bittorrent, its your friend.

[JohnDoe280]

"his religion may be odd by our views..."

He gives MILLIONS of dollars to a criminal organization. For fuck's sakes, all you have to do is Google "dangerous cult", or "Scientology to find out what it is. Do your homework son.

[laplase1212]

What kind of narrow minded bologna is this? Some dumb people out there, his religion may be odd by our views, but his acting is what applies when watching a movie.

[mcorbett1977]

10% of the profit from this movie will go directly to scientology . many feel this is unacceptable . check into it and you will understand why we feel that a boycott is necessary .

[reeblite]

i love you anons, but i want to see the movie.

[FayeleeDarkclaw]

Your all raceist of your boycotting the film JUST because of the actor religuse belief thats so wrong. I'm a wiccan you going to treat me like crap because of it..the united stated was build on the beliefs that if doesnt matter race, sex, belief or sex prefect. its a good movie and shows the brave hero's who gave their lives to stop hitler. Who your no better them..I'm insulted is disgusted...your no better then hitler. you should be ashamed!

[JohnDoe280]

Sorry, but a religion is not a race, therefore your use of the word, "racist"(you spelled it wrong dummy - no e) is incorrect. You are a Wicca, which means that you arent part of a secretive, mafia-like, money driven cult/business that seperates families, puts it members in gulags when they are bad, empties their bank accounts/steals their assets ect.

Google - it's your friend.

[mcorbett1977]

Anonymous is not concerned with an individuals beliefs , it's the deceitful and criminal practices . Human rights violations and exploitation . Racketeering , child labor , spreading blatant lies trying to destroy psychiatry . Anonymous has members of many different religions , including wiccans . It's not the beliefs that need to be destroyed but the human rights violations and criminal activity , if that went away we would no longer protest them.

[jamacianmadness]

are you saying that anonymous is a bad group

[mcorbett1977]

No , I'm saying that people may believe what they wish to . Scientologys belief system includes policies that infringe on anothers basic civil and human rights . That is where Anonymous comes in . Believe what you will , just don't participate in criminal activities as the Scientologists do . If they cut out the deceit , lies , thievery and forced labor and other things of that nature Anonymous would end their fight against it .

[EricToTheScionti]

You are free to exercise your beliefs so long as they do not impede on the rights of others.

[NaturalSelection2]

And if they do?

Look up Paulette Cooper, Operation Freakout, Shawn Lonsdale, Lisa McPherson, the "Office of Special Affairs", and the Sea Org (paramilitary) for a start.

[EricToTheScionti]

Exactly, I know about all of these operations and atrocities of the Church of Scientology, I was clarifying because it appeared the post I was replying to seemed to think they were a legit religious organization. I was in no way defending that fucking cult.

[NaturalSelection2]

Yeah, fair enough.

[ericcartman321]

I already boycott "Tom the sicko" movies.

[TomCruiseUNSEEN]

looks really good.... odd role for Tom though..

[Revelation181]

Soylent Green is made out of people!!! And it is also the main course at the Scientology Awards Dinner...

Psalm 78:38-39

[Cameronsfx]

Calling Tom Cruise "Goebbels" is just as ridiculous as calling Bush "Hitler."

How come this "Anonymous" group keeps sprouting up? I think Scientology is weirdo cult, but when I say so, I do with my name attached. Maybe the group we should be watching is You--Anonymous?

[AngryRaptor]

I would have to agree with your first sentence, Cameronsfx. I would like to try to inform you that Anonymous consists of exposing the "cloaking" of religion for business gain. Not to tell people what they can or can't worship. It's a right to believe in any religion and Anonymous does not want to lead anyone a stray from this.

At first, I was sketchy about Anonymous myself. until I did some digging around I came to realize the cause is just.

This, of coarse, is just my view on the subject.

[EricToTheScionti]

I agree 100%,

[supergirl2025]

You know Greta Van Susteran, host of FoxNews's On The Record, is a Scientologist? Guess her show should be boycotted as well? I like good movies. I could care less what religion, or cult, actors belong in. Cruise might be a nut, but boycotts rarely work.

[1dog2few]

I'll never pay to see this film. Tom's a misguided hack.

[JohnDoe280]

I'd pay people NOT to see this film!

[NaturalSelection2]

Anyone who says that Scientology is nothing more than a harmless "personal belief"...DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH YOU THICK FUCKTARDS!

...*sigh* I'm sorry, but Tom Cruise is a vile man and should not be paid to defile the name of the greatest hero in German history by using money he gets from that role to fund the cult that has scammed and separated families and harassed people to the point of suicide.

[Euterperocks]

Couldn't have said it better myself, thank you. $cientology is a cult that harms its own as well as "wogs" like us. I've been Fair Gamed merely for being a casual critic, & I learned the hard way that these people are the lowest scum on the planet. CO$ is every inch a dangerous cult & bears absolutely no resemblance to a legitimate religion. Also, if you're anti-NWO, you're also anti-CO$, because CO$ has its roots in the Illuminati cult called OTO. Hubbard was a member right before starting CO$.

[NaturalSelection2]

If anyone but Tom Cruise played Von Stauffenberg, I'd love to see this movie.

[pconiston]

This video is relevant to my interests. Scientology is a cult.

[GreenDay1981]

Come on, people. Boycotting a Tom Cruise movie? If you really wanted to keep him from getting royalties, you'd have to boycott every single movie he was in. That includes Top Gun and A Few Good Men. He's gonna get paid millions just for being in a movie. No one can prevent that.

[hubrisseven]

not only did this video make me want to see the movie more but it made Scientology sound cool.

[dis1z4la6rasa]

what? i don't understand. seriously?

[bustapunk101]

I'd like to see the movie.

[westsoundFC33]

uhhh, they said its coming out october 3rd???? i havent seen anything for it??

did this movie actually get boycotted? because of one of the actors personall beliefs???

[GreenDay1981]

It says it opens the day after Christmas. It got pushed back a couple of times. The preview from last year said it would be out in the summer of 2008.

[polite777]

I see you are awake

[YellowSurge]

how does this fucking relate to scientology?! this is bullshit! go head, thumbs me down fuckheads

[crisbianfloyde]

We should all turn up at the premier and be the SP's that Tom Cruise says will never dare confront him. Anyone else want to join in? It would be great to see his face as everyone shouts out "XENU" at him...So who wants to join in?

[georgewater]

so who pays the actors and producers and directors and everyone else who created this movie?? tom cruise didnt make it and it the movie doesnt portray anything supporting his personal beliefs. so how does this help scientology?? by paying a man who practices it? cuz if it really pays to support all those things listed at the end them im gonna see it twice.

[TMSinfo]

Those of you intolerant of Cruise's personal beliefs should perhaps see the movie regarding the Nazi's intolerance of similar issues.

Right????

[kingdomthrone]

very good point

[blackwhimsy]

You're missing the point.

This is not about the beliefs.

It's about the abuses that the church perpetuates.

It's likely that in addition to a huge flat fee,Cruise gets a royalty from ticket sales.

Out of that payday,he donates large sums of money to the COS that it uses to commit crime.

SO-every time you give money to a Scientologist actor,you're also giving money to his criminal church.

Think about it.

Tom Cruise is free to be a Scientologist,but he's not gonna do it on MY dime.

[rjbonacolta]

2008? Not anymore

[erickxxxl]

yes but this film is made by a man who support DAVID MISCAVIGE

and HITLER and NAZISM is scoutism compared to the Criminal Organisation that is run by DAVID MISCAVIGE.

DAVID MISCAVIG is much more harmfull to the Humaninity than ADOLF HITLER

They are so MISCHEVIOUS in their attempt to destroy the Humanity,

We need to get rid off them very soon.

They are doing a spiritual HOLOCAUST

Scientology is an HOLOCAUSTIC ORGANISATION.

that hides behing RELIGIOUS. That s why it is so mischevious.

[violetfieldflorence]

This film is NOT about Cruise or his religion, it is about the extraordinary and heroic men who were under Hitler. They risked their very lives to over-throw the dictator. Don't exaggerate the importance of Cruise, sheesh, there's more to film than the actors' religions. I, for one, am a Kenneth Branagh fan and WWII buff so will see this when it comes out.

[FenristheRedWolf]

Okay, I'm convinced. I doubt any space aliens will be watching, either.

[bernbern1982]

I LOVE TOM AND WANT TO SEE THIS FILM.

[coreolarus]

GoOnAnonAnonAnon - you gave the "Valkyrie" Wikipedia link incorrectly.

[erictheartist]

I'm totaly for the boycott, I think Tom should drop out of acting all together...

[FrankW69]

Cruise is a shit actor, has always been a shit actor, and now his stock is tanking. He's more annoying than Jesse Jackson, more annoying than Michael Moore, more annoying than well... ANYONE!! Good actors will make you forget the actor and make you see their character. You never forget that you are watching Tom Cruise, and he's always acting, whether on camera or off. He's a twisted little freak, and his movies have consistently SUCKED. What a twat. FREE KATIE!! (And SURI!!)

[MrFyde]

So I guess anon. will protest the premier in LA to get the most news coverage in one place. An then individual theaters on opeing day across the country? Would it be more effective to try to get local coverage (ex: call local news)and say where the protest will be or just hit the local theaters in groups of ten? I don't know what anyone's plans are. - What ever they do I bet they have info about how CoS wants to clear/control the planet. and let the public know it is silly but true.

[snappycruise]

ready to protest against Hancock? I am!

[ANON50501893]

shame...it looked like a fun movie too. but.....

WE ARE ANONYMOUS.

WE ARE LEGION.

[valkyrie1944]

you are all bananas!

[Anonsupporters]

Says the guy who believes in space aliens

[ANON50501893]

Hey now,lets give Aliens the benefit of the doubt. Im sure EVEN THE ALIENS think that scientologists are BATSHIT CRAZY!

[fitch2000]

I'm all for boycotting Scieno stuff, but will there be actual protests at the premier? I hope so.

[NoWattz]

It is an absolute must that this movie be boycotted. It should also be made unequivocably clear to all businesses that if they employ Mr. Cruise they will drastically lose money on all of their avenues of business. It should be that way for all of the "famous goons" who thoughtlessly dump millions of dollars into scientology. Anyone who has any items autographed by mr. cruise should gather them up and send them all back to Tommy with the message, "you SUCK!" :)

[WindowOpportunity]

The great spokesman, Tom Cruise, finally ends his sexual identity crisis by falling in love with a woman. And so now he wants all the great unwashed to follow suit.

If he is honest in the scientology sense, he must admit to his false moral behavior and spiritual transgressions, but such confessions lie within the provenance of the "church" hierarchy.

In the olden days, this could be forgiven only through Papal dispensation. Or Hitler.

Who can take Cruise seriously?

[snappycruise]

he is a beleiver, more power to him, the crimes of co$ isn't his problem, just like the pedophile crime in catholic church aren't beleivers'problems.

[jimberg911]

Ha, ha. It's 2009 movie now, and moving further back. Apparently Cruise is getting a little bad PR. Valkyire: Presidents Day weekend 2009. Find something else to do.

[jnycnuk]

Frank Ofman quotes from his mad messiah about loving and helping one's children. Well, in 1951, Hubbard kidnapped his daughter Alexis and later threatened his estranged wife, saying "Alexis will get a fortune unless she goes to you as she would then get nothing" -- this while Hubbard was on the lam from authorities, hiding out in Cuba. Funny how Ofman some how "forgot" to mention that quote, isn't it?

[mre4nygma]

i wasnt planning to see it anyway

[Snoware]

I am also not saying that one should pirate this film and put parts of it on you tube in order to make fun of it.

This, of course, would be the wrong thing to do.

[300ussuriaga]

bad pr in germany

i know, lets play a german hero who tried to stop hilter

this is not a film, this IS a propaganda vid to try to get the german people onside

boycott it and tom cruise

[WallHallica]

scary how disconnected the Co$. v.S.S was a crippled royalist AND unimportant to the german army when he "acted" up. the process of 'Valkyrie' was not invented by v.S.S. it was a failsave in case Hitler died. when everyone was sure, that v.S.S was behind it, they stood down and got rather killed than help v.S.S.! if v.S.S. would have succeded, the war would have dragged on. the NAZI's on the other hand needed more time to flee to south-america in a organised manner. germans wont like this movie.

[phavix]

Awesome! I'm not saying that someone should pirate this movie, just to make fun of tom, but, I am saying, KICK ASS! I'm Boycotting it just because I'm Poor!

But now I even more reason!
