Isn't that ever so familiar though.

Does anyone remember the televangalists the Bakers(Jim and Tammy-Fae).

they lived large and flaunted it but many people still believed that they were doing the Lord's work, oh yeah and Praise Jesus.

True believers are often blinded by faith.

Heh. I remeber one of those guys (can't remeber if itwas Baker Swagert, Roberts, whomever) saying that God was going to kill him if people didn't send him donations totaling 10 mil.

That was Oral Roberts. That was about the funniest thing I ever heard.. God putting the arm on ol' Oral. The sad thing was that people sent in the money. *sigh*

Yeah that's what got me about it. Well that and in art class I drew a picture of Jesus with a gun to Roberts' head that nearly got me kicked out of school.

All I know is it's from Veronica Mars and it was quoted everywhere. I have no idea what it means.
 
Well, I thought everyone knew what 'rode hard and put away wet' meant.

It comes from riding a horse hard, then not taking care of it properly afterward and just putting it back into it's stall.

I've heard this phrase a lot. It's usually used to describe someone who is desheveled and beat-down.

Speaking engagements.

Musicians and comedians rarely make a lot of money off their CDs and such. But live appearances are a gold mine.
 
I believe DA started LC as "a bit of fun" really not comprehending what he was doing. Actually we KNOW that's how it started because he says he started it as a FICTIONAL piece.

But then actual crazy people came along and believed it. They offered to pay to get it done properly.

And here is where he made his one fatal mistake. Had he been a true filmmaker, with convictions, and a desire to express the "greater truth" about the human condition, he'd have rejected the proposal to pretend fiction was truth.

But he isn't a filmmaker. He wants to be "famous". It's like those people who want to be movie stars, not actors. So he sold out. He let his doco become fact instead of fiction. He sold his soul for some fame.

I think he knows very well that his entire documentary is garbage. I think it's obvious when he's interviewed, or issues are raised on the subject.

But imagine if he one day said "hey, it was all a lie, I'm not a truther". He can't do that. Too many people have invested too much energy in his lie. And some of them are crazy, and frankly dangerous.

He's being held hostage by his own film's popularity.

That, and merchandising. Somewhere, somebody is making a pretty good haul on those black t-shirts and huuuuge banners.
