Kenneth Anger: I Will Follow Him
Scorpio Rising has been called a "death mirror held up to American culture. Brando, bikes, black leather."
The end: a young man in a leather mask gives a speech to the other bikers as the use of Nazi imagery increases. Finally, the gang hops on their hogs and rides into the night. A 1950s style pop song serves as the perfect score:
"I love him, I love him, I love him,
And where he goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow,
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love,
From now until forever, forever, forever..."
Kenneth Anger is also the author of the Hollywood Babylon books. From a 2000 interview:
"I have a couple of pet hates in Hollywood. Travolta, Cruise, and Kidman ? the whole Scientology gang are a bunch of creeps. People have said, "Oh, you mustn't say that in print, or they'll put a rattlesnake in your mailbox!" [Laughs] They're vindictive towards even whispers of criticism. The main chapter hanging up Hollywood Babylon III is the one on Scientology. Did you see Battlefield Earth? It's the most laughable piece of crap I've ever seen, and now Travolta says, "I'm going to make a sequel." Fine. They can drain more Scientology money into it. I encourage them to make Battlefield Earth 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. [L. Ron] Hubbard was such a lousy writer."
