Everyone to the mess hall, it's time for ORG awards!! We are going to be watching Battle Field Earth...AGAIN!!!! lolololololol
Stupid me, i thought it was just a bad movie. Turns out that it is actually the best movie ever and due to SP film critics and the wog's inability to confront quality cinema, this movie got horrible reviews.
I always found it funny that people would say shit like the above but at the same time say that the book was actually good and that the movie was based off a very small part of the book which is why it was so bad...but still the best movie ever.
Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see "Battlefield Earth." It wasn't as I intended—promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn't really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those. ...
I researched Scientology before signing on to the movie, to make sure I wasn't making anything that would indoctrinate people. ...
At dinner, John said again how much he loved the script and called it "The 'Schindler's List' of sci-fi."
My script was very, VERY different than what ended up on the screen. My screenplay was darker, grittier and had a very compelling story with rich characters. What my screenplay didn't have was slow motion at every turn, Dutch tilts, campy dialogue, aliens in KISS boots, and everyone wearing Bob Marley wigs. ...
I refused to incorporate the notes into the script and was fired.
I HAVE no idea why they wanted to go in this new direction, but here's what I heard from someone in John's camp: Out of all the books L. Ron wrote, this was the one the church founder wanted most to become a movie. He wrote extensive notes on how the movie should be made. ...
The only time I saw the movie was at the premiere, which was one too many times.

I was SO member when it came out... It did horribly in the box office, DM was scarred - we were sent out in buses to watch it daily to try to get some box office number for this movie. I personally was forced to see it 11 times. I enjoyed the back seats where I was able to take nice naps - as I hardly got any sleep when working in Clearwater...
