I also love cult films, but that's not the same thing.

Yeah, and they have a cult following--LOL.

Yeah, it's spooky. His picture is on the wall. He worked for NBC in the 70s. In the early 90s I did the morning show for exactly the same radio station he worked at previously, but now I work down the hall at a station owned by the same company. His family still lives here and they always add birthdays to our birthday club. Tom Brokaw came to our little town for his funeral.

I have a strong fascination for that material as well, especially when it's inspired by religion. Mainly, I want to avoid getting caught in that kind of craziness. 900 people lost their lives because of that insane man. I'm going to have to pick up both those darn films soon. It's been ages for each. I understand they are making a new Manson film about the Manson Women. That could be interesting.

Now, the 3 Stooges Cult, that's one I'd gladly join!

I thought I'd add that THIS DOCUMENTARY on Jones is supposed to be excellent. I remember seeing part of it and finding it amazing. I was reading that there is a lot of film that NBC has yet to release. That info might be outdated, but the material is supposed to include that last material the NBC newcrew filmed.
