I honestly thought freddy got fingered was worse — a girl I was thinking of dating showed me that pic once — after that I stayed far away from her...

There is no way that book could have been made into a movie, period. No way.

I actually liked Battlefield Earth. I didn’t realize it had anything to do with Scientology except for the star.

I think Scientology and Mormonism should merge.
We could have one huge cult that way.

I’d have to come up with new jokes though.

The Providence Journal review is my favorite:

“Battlefield Earth’s primary colors are blue and gray, adding to the misery. Whenever we glimpse sunlight, the screen goes all stale yellow, as though someone had urinated on the print. This, by the way, is not such a bad idea.”

Wasn’t Battlefield Earth one of L. Ron Hubbard’s novels?

But Shapiro knows what he did was awful.

It couldn't have been as awful as the novel that inspired it. It's the only thing by L. Ron Hubbard I've ever read, and it was the sort of thing an uninspired and untalented high school student in a writing class might have written, expanded into a thousand page novel.

I might as well apologize, because I thought Battlefield Earth was a decent movie. It was entertaining and different and it held my attention. I have seen tons of movies that I thought were worse. I recently viewed “The Fourth Kind” and I quit in the middle of it.

I thought Battlefield Earth was a little below average B-movie.

For a true reference point on bad, see “Manos; The Hands of Fate” on youtube.

Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn't really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those.
Those are the jokes, folks. Figures the Hubbardologists wouldn't be able to recruit anyone talented.
