He also recently did a movie called The Master. He players a character that was based on L. Ron Hubbard. The movie was slow but I thought he was excellent. I don't know much about Dianetics but the movie portrayed the formation of the cult or whatever it is. Despite watching the movie I still know nothing about Diantetics. Still, Hoffman was great in it.
Yeah that film was strange....interesting but really really odd.


As for drugs sparking some creativity in artists, yeah drugs can help you find a muse, but they should not become a crutch nor should they be held on high (pardon the pun) as the sole reason for great art. Plenty of people site drug use for helping them portray better what is in their mind's eye by helping the artists shed inhibitions, but in the end the drug only helped you get to a comfortable (or uncomfortable depending who you are and what you do) state of being.

I have found the use of certain substances helpful in various tasks be it dealing with the mundane world, painting, sports, appreciating art, what have you...I've also found those substances a hindrance on specific tasks as well.
