We met The Cult and were talking to them for a while. We went a few places with Offspring.
It was a special show that became a cult classic of sorts, and I made a lot of money for it.
I guess HBO did a giant ‘War in the Pacific’ mini-series that cost, like, a fortune, and there was a little moment where they literally had no money. And even though the show had become kind of a cult hit, there was an issue of whether they could actually afford to do it.
Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there – or failing to get there.
I can understand why some of these drummers and bass players become cult figures with all of their equipment and the incredible amount of technique they have. But there’s very little that I think satisfies you intellectually or emotionally.
I discourage a cult of personality.
I enjoy being slept on. It’s like being on the verge of a cult movement. But making the underground-to-aboveground transition is cool.
I can’t really say how big the cult is. But I’m proud of it. I’m proud that it has a life.
Usually, the worst films become cult films.
I was sure ‘Summer Heights High’ would be a cult ABC thing; I had no idea it would be such a big hit.
As far as I’m concerned, the first business leader who was able to establish a cult of personality around his tenure was Lee Iacocca.
‘E.T.’ and ‘Star Wars’ were cult movies then and opened up a brand new world of adventure and mystery. But as much as I would have loved to be friends with E.T., I realized that following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was more realistic.
The cult of art gives pride; one never has too much of it.
I remember playing a college in Michigan, and they all held up their hand to show me where they live, which made me wonder what weird alien cult I had entered.
I’ve done movies that I’ve been advised not to do. ‘Dog Soldiers,’ the movie I did 11 years ago now, I remember my agent at the time was like, ‘You shouldn’t do that. It’s a weird film about werewolves,’ and it became a cult hit.
Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it’s a tribal thing – country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.
The drug or cult has major if not exclusive sources of brain rewards.
I think the Republican Party has become something of a personality cult.
The only thing I’m addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult, arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous, reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent.
Time will tell whether I am a wing nut or a megalomaniac. The difference between a cult and faith is time.
I wear lots of Junk de Luxe sweaters, Cult of Individuality jeans – which are about the best for me – and Fiorentini + Baker boots. With fashion I’m good on jeans and boots. Ask me about anything else, and I’ll just look at you doe-eyed and not understand what you’re talking about.
Anyone who says they want to make a game that becomes a cult classic is kinda screwy, right? I mean, you want to reach the largest audience you can.
If there’s one thing no one will ever mistake Ted Cruz for, it’s a charismatic cult leader. Cruz scans more as the accountant for the charismatic cult leader than the guy ladling out the Kool Aid.
When we first filmed ‘Gilmore Girls,’ I didn’t know it would build such a cult following.
This is the first generation to grow up on Thatcher – it’s a different ethos. It’s money minded, and it’s the cult of yourself. Now that’s fine, except when it falls down, and you can’t achieve your goals – through high unemployment, through the fact that you probably need inherited money to get anywhere.
We all knew the book well because it’s the cult book in Latin America. For me, this was a sacred territory. I would not have ventured into it by myself.
A cult is a religion with no political power.
When I first created the world of ‘Mr. Robot,’ I thought it would be a niche television series with a small, cult following.
It might sound strange to describe New Yorkers as insecure when they delight so much in the cult of success. The display of wealth here, especially new wealth, is indeed wonderfully frank, from the super-long limousines which clog up the roads to the voluptuous fur coats that adorn both men and women.
My first book, ‘Fast Forward’, was about growing up in the shadow of Hollywood and how kids are affected by the culture of materialism and the cult of celebrity, and I’ve often felt the reason my work has an audience in the U.K. is because it’s everything the British love to hate about the Americans.
I was in something called ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’ which was a real cult comedy; it’s sort of a spoof horror sort of thing, and it only ever had one series, but I liked the fact that it only had one series because it’s kind of got this little gemlike quality to it that there were only ever six episodes.
When I was in my early teens, I joined a cult. And we weren’t allowed to listen to secular music or anything that wasn’t made by us. So I spent a lot of time not listening to music, and by the time I could, I just didn’t get into it.
For whatever reason, every project I do becomes sort of a cult, or a cultish show, you know, like ‘Battlestar,’ or even a film I did years ago, ‘Kalifornia,’ people refer to it as a cult film.
Lost In Space is played on television somewhere in the world every day. It’s been a cult show.
A highly developed stock exchange cannot be a club for the cult of ethics.
The personality cult of the ego does not work down a coal mine and it does not work in the Labour party.
It’s a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.
The nice girl meets a guy and acts like she joined a cult. In the beginning, a guy might ask her what she likes. The nice girl makes the mistake of shrugging her shoulders and saying: ‘I like anything you like.’
I love when I think we’re taking territory – if it makes sense in the long term, we just don’t give a damn what it looks like in the short term. After all, we’re running a cult, not a normal company.
All those haters, they don’t understand my music. It’s very unique. And I don’t blame them. Hate my music. But my real cult fanbase, they like the music.
I did the figure of Diana in V, a cult TV show seen all over the world.
My feeling about the Internet or anything else is that the more it tends to become a cult, the more I want to call it into question.
People don’t realize enough how important and influentical John Carpenter has been in electronic music. He did his soundtracks by himself, using mostly electronic and analog synthesizers. He’s a cult figure with DJs these days for good reasons.
I have been a part of Ae Mere Hamsafar’ which was a recreated track from one of the cult movies, but I think that was the requirement of the film and the makers wanted to recreate that song.
I don’t think I’m all that twisted in my life. I’m not like some tattooed filmmaker who, you know, hangs out on the Lower East Side and is part of some satanic cult or something.
Aradhana’ was a very big hit while ‘Avishkaar’ is a cult film.
I think ‘Teenage Wasteland’ was one of those cult hits like ‘My So-Called Life’, something that came along and got a lot of viewers and then somehow fell into a bad timeslot that nobody ever watched, and then the network pulled the plug prematurely.
