Sorry people, but I walked out of *The Master*, thought it was an unpleasant lemon of a movie...

The film is being marketed as an insight into the makings of The Church of Scientology, with this claim the movie is a fraud. Perhaps the filmmaker, Paul Thomas Anderson, included some sayings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, but that's about it. The movie is strange and boring.
I didn't walk out, but at one point considered doing so.
"But I didn't want it to be a biography. It’s not the L. Ron Hubbard story,” Anderson says. [...] "That was a hook you could hang your hat on."
