Did anyone else notice that in the interview J.D. Shapiro is wearing the same suit he was wearing when he accepted the Razzie? Check it out. Go to the end of the vid and look. It's got him side by side with the video from the award ceremony.

@poisonshift - Good catch, I had not noticed!

I have a little story to tell you. I remember watching this movie as a kid in the theaters with my foster dad. We loved the book and the trailer got us excited to see it. They build-up this movie to be a blockbuster hit, But then... After the whole movie, We were disappointed. :( Epic Fail! Dad: "So what did you think about the movie?" Me: "It was... Boring..." Dad: "Oh ho ho ho, I bet, son." Me: "No. I think it was bad." Dad: "Yeah, A lot a worse than that..." Worst movie ever...

@Regemgadevideos cool story!

worst movie of the decade? this thing should the worst movie of the fucking century!

[medallish]

Damn No! This was not the worst movie of the decade, seriously, how can anyone claim that any movie was worse than Epic movie(2007)? This movie was a master piece next to Epic movie.. Now I'm probably the only person alive who didn't hink that Battlefield Earth was that bad, but that being said there is no redeeming quality in epic movie.

I wonder if all of the copies of Battlefield Earth bought, are sat on shelves in the homes of Scienrologists?

@llVIU Thanks. You had me worried there a bit.

[llVIU]

@Brownlyne actually I seen a trailer, and it's a million times better than other things that I've seen, and so is twilight

but I was just making a simple minded joke

[Brownlyne]

@llVIU You're kidding, right? I'm wasn't totally 'ga-ga' over

the Twilight series, either, (although it was decent) but there

really is no comparison between that and the 'stank' that

is/was "Battlefield Earth." Come on, really?

[llVIU]

still not as gay uhm I mean not as bad as twilight

[poisonshift]

it probably wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't turned it into an idea for the movie from the book. I mean, this was only half the damned book and the second half, albeit a little strange, was my favorite half.

[thecoolj45221]

i never seen this movie, i used to work at a movie theater and we had it, i didn't watch it, but i my co workers all said it was bad, and a few said it was okay, no one ever said it was good
