Cult Movies: Figure 8 - $12.99 But as his subsequent albums XO аnd now Figure 8 show, Smith has weathered the spotlight successfully and is mоving ahead with self-assured grace. The beauty of Figure 8 is that it encompasses Smith's musical virtues, from the stаrк and wispy tunes of his lo-fi beginnings оn Roman Candle to the orchestrated, Beatlesesque pomp аnd circumstance of later work to the intimate and sometimes painful nаturе of his livе shows. Figure 8's opener, "Son оf Sam," is as good as anything Smith has ever crafted, its soaring mеlоdу buoyed with lush instrumentation and a tin-раn-аllеу piano romp. www.cultmoviesstore.com /tvr4230303030345336474c.html   (1031 words)

shouting at the postman | cult figures A "cult figure" is a person whose image has become a symbol which transcends the meaning of the original image.

Cult following - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A cult following is a group of fans devoted to a specific area of pop culture. Cult followings establish their own canons and cherish the notion of cult classics, which are individual items with cult followings. Cult followings are usually generated through a film or television show having targeted a particular genre, typically fantasy, sci-fi, comedy or horror, but occasionally other types of films or tv series will produce a cult following. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cult_following   (770 words)

"Cult" defined If alive, the personality who is the focus of such cult following may or may not welcome the adulation of their cult followers. Indeed, cult figures may be quite imaginary - such as those admired by the cult followers of comic book and movie show characters. In particular, the word is used in the sense of devotees who follow inventions that borrow prestige from the figurehead but who do not actually follow the teachings and principles of their cult figure. www.jesuscult.com /CultDef.htm   (440 words)

Journal of American Studies of Turkey As Barton Wright explains, “The basic concept of the cult is that all things in the world have two forms, the visible object and a spiritual counterpart, a dualism that balances mass and energy. In particular, the ogres (Figure 4 and Figure 5) are disciplinary Kachinas. The Kachina cult constitutes a fundamental strength within the tribe and remains a major element in the awareness and appreciation of what it means to be a Hopi while forming the cement of the Hopi way of life. www.bilkent.edu.tr /~jast/Number8/Tanrisal.html   (3746 words)

Ruler Cult, Sacred Kingship The Jesus figure as some odd sort of 'king' serves some of the rescuing and protecting and ethical roles of a normal king, minus the destructive and harmful physical roles of a normal king. This is not an artistic coincidence betwen ancient Egyptian ruler cult and Jesus Christos/Chrestos -- it is the standard symbolic and conceptual language of the phenomena of the intense mystic altered state, which was traditionally intermixed with the political and military allegory domain. The Jesus figure is the kind of figure that naturally resulted from the strategy of the populace to reject Emperor Cult and create a figure more powerful and profound than the hyper-inflated figure of the mundane emperor as divine. www.egodeath.com /RulerCultSacredKingship.htm   (9720 words)

The Roman Catholic Observer Cults demand that something must be added to the work of Christ, or that we must earn our own salvation by our own efforts, and especially by obedience to that cult's laws, dogmas and doctrines. Cults deny the existence of sin, or demand that sin can only be forgiven through their self-appointed mediators. Cults always teach that they themselves, or their leaders are the final authority. www.angelfire.com /ma/romewatch/page17.html   (1694 words)

The cult figure we could do without First, like all cults, it teaches its members to subordinate their individuality to the goal of the group. Like other cults, such as Jim Jones's People's Temple, the Heaven's Gate sect or the Order of the Solar Temple, members are persuaded to give up their own lives for the promise of a paradise beyond. Cults are famously difficult to disband, and some survive the death of their leader. www.rickross.com /reference/alqaeda/alqaeda19.html   (682 words)

How to Identify a Cult : ChristianCourier.com Cult members are “focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.” The leader is a strong-willed, domineering character who rules the group with tight control. No cult leader would affiliate himself with a congregation having elders to whom he must be in submission. Cult members are seen occasionally to take on a new personality. www.christiancourier.com /articles/read/how_to_identify_a_cult   (1003 words)

I am not a 'cult figure': Vajpayee - Sify.com Taken aback for a moment by a question posed by reporters during a press conference in his parliamentary constituency here on Monday, Vajpayee said he was not a cult figure and was always for putting in team-effort for success. On his emerging 'distinct' positive image despite his obvious opposition to being the lone icon among the masses, he said he was always supportive of a collective endeavour where all the teammates were given an opportunity to put in their best.

Did they cheer or sneer? False note from a cult figure - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune That didn't stop Jenkins, the daughter of a Pennsylvania banker, from squawking her way through (among several set pieces) the Queen of the Night's aria from Mozart's "The Magic Flute" or selling out a Carnegie Hall concert in October 1944, a month before her death at age 76. This must be the most underlighted song-and-dance show to hit London since the English National Opera did their version of the 1944 Broadway entry "On the Town" earlier this year. The story at heart is a gentle fable of a marmoreal figure made flesh, in this case the statue of Venus (Karen Coker) that comes suddenly to life - and to love. www.iht.com /articles/2005/11/08/features/lon9.php   (903 words)
