RiffTrax w/ Mike Nelson Battlefield Earth

http://www.rifftrax.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=45

In the year 3000 man is an endangered species, enslaved, severely unshowered, beholden to a cruel alien race fond of dreadlocks and really impractical boots. Only one man can break the yoke of slavery and lead mankind to victory over their cruel tyranny. And that one man is television character actor Peter MacNicol. Wait -- slight error there. Salt of the earth, Peter MacNicol, but it's not him. Actually, the one man who can break the yoke of slavery and lead mankind to victory is Johnny Goodboy Tyler (Barry Pepper), if you can believe that. Yes, Battlefield Earth, L. Ron Hubbard's epic tale of why you should become a Scientologist splashes* across the big screen in John Travolta's masterful** retelling. Helping Mr. Travolta along in his masterful retelling are Mike, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett. Yes, the MST3K gang is back together in full force to take on the most legendary cinematic blunder since whatever Joel Schumacher's last film was.

*like vomit.
**here "masterful" is used in the sense of "revoltingly, irredeemably noxious"

Along with being a charlatan, L. Ron Hubbard is a fucking hack.

[rckrockz]

Not only do his books transfer horribly to the big screen, but Hubbard was a horrible writer as well. His plots were very devoid of any emotion other than hate of psycologists(probably spelt that wrong) and cliche... but more than that he was a motherfucking douche bag who made teenage girls wait on him with his Sea Org.... should be called Sea Pedophile Orgy.

And his writing sucks ass. Seventh grade level at best...

[Nodrog666]

I'm pretty sure Hubbard created a religion just to prove that he could, and that people would be dumb enough to follow it.

Fool! While you were still learning how to SPELL YOUR NAME!!! I was being trained...TO CONQUER GALAXIES!!

[MrFacist]

check out john travolta's accent. and so in the year 3000 the irish gave up their whisky and advanced to taking over the world!

[vigo894]

@rckrockz= Scientology is a joke.

[Igarappappa]

Oh, nevermind. I see it.

[Igarappappa]

What did he shoot?

[JamesOhGoodie]

@lasoogneypubes Fair warning: the first half is absolutely hilarious. The second half onward is REALLY hard to get through, so stand tough. Friends and booze will help.

[lasoogneypubes]

@JamesOhGoodie Nice. I heard that movie was awful too. I'll have to check it out sometime lol.

[JamesOhGoodie]

@lasoogneypubes Oh you haven't heard the rest: We watched "Battlefield Earth" as part of a double feature with Mariah Carey's "Glitter" (my friends hate me so much now).

The funny part? "Glitter" was the more painful movie to sit through. Oh it starts off hilariously bad ("Sylke, I didn't know you could blow like that"), but in the last third it becomes achingly sincere and you realize "Oh crap, Mariah Carey actually believes in this schlock".

[lasoogneypubes]

@JamesOhGoodie Hahaha I never noticed that. Dutch angles really aren't that cool and I remember about halfway through the movie I was actually starting to get a little pissed off because I was getting really tired of looking at everything sideways lol. Sounds like your birthday kicked ass btw.
