    Not one mention of Battlefield Earth? Really?

    Yes, it’s a terrible movie. Nobody watching this (except maybe John Travolta) ever thinks its a good movie. But it is.

    You just have to shut your brain off entirely. Johnny alien (travolta) runs around like an English major high on bath salts. Thousand year old military tech works flawlessly. Humans are so dumb they literally cant tell gold ore and solid gold ingots apart. The dumb humans manage to build and deploy a nuclear weapon in 7 days. Its so horrifically, nut crushingly stupid that it swings all the way around to comedy.

      I taught the guy who built miniature sets for that movie. I didn’t teach him how to build the sets, I taught him how to do multimedia presentations for hockey arenas.

        I don’t want to give you bad news, but I guess…well, he’s not behaving as if he’s all that clear on how to do multimedia presentations for hockey arenas, is he? I mean, it’s probably not your fault, but it sure looks like he’s missed the mark entirely, what a goof!

      I try to avoid "Earth"flicks because they all have long backstory of why Earth is not the Earth we know.
