I watch Battlefield Earth once a year and enjoy it each time. Then again, I thought the Postman and Waterworld were good movies too. Go figure.

OK, you got me, I liked Waterworld.

I saw Battlefield Earth once and just rolled my eyes at parts of it. It was like - how could that actor DO THAT and not realize that he's making a fool of himself...

You know that everyone involved in Ken Russell's THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM thought they ended their careers with that movie? They knew how over-the-top it was while making it. I mean, it's a turd but it's a turd as fine art. Ken Russell knows how to make those way over-the-top piles of merde into true works of art and you gotta admire that, sort of...

I can't help but think BE wasn't the same way. The spaceship hanging in the dome trying to fall and become a bomb is so stupidly awfully written and filmed that it is classic.

I never saw the complete THE POSTMAN but what I did see bored me.

Also, I've seen nearly all of WATERWORLD and I notice that at certain points the action just stops and the forward progress of the movie is lost.

This analysis might be too serious for this discussion.

You lost me at rolling your eyes but then again I have been up 23 hours. Spent the last 8 in the ER with my son, they kept him I came home to get some sleep but before that I had to come here just to see what was going on and somehow I started this post.

Good night/morning

There are quite a few scenes in BE where Travolta plays his cute and adorable character which breaks what is supposed to be an alien persona. Then there is the jealousy and ambition subplot that doesn't seem to work.

In other scenes, the dialog in B.E. is predictable. This is like - we all know that in airplane disaster movies someone screams "we're all going to die" or when men slap hystericla women in movies... that type of predictable. That's when I roll my eyes.

I hope everything is OK from the hospital and the overnight is routine.

LOL, I know that eye roll.

If you read the book, I have, you know that he was never a cute and adorable character, he was a dictator of the worst order and loved it most when he was causing pain to others even others of his own race, he was pure evil.

As for my son,

He cant keep anything down, they did an upper GI today and found nothing, tomorrow the lower, he is so thrilled. My other son and I are heading back to the hospital and will most likely be there for the night. He is 32 and does not like hospitals or doctors and does not want to be alone. The only thing they did say is if this continues and he keeps loosing mussel mass he will wind up a permanent resident of the hospital because he wont be able to move. Thanks for asking I will keep you up to date.

i suppose my petition proclaiming "battlefield earth" to be a great piece of science fiction wouldn't go far here
