Here is a nice transcript from JD Shapiro, Battlefield Earth's screenwriter, acceptance speech .

This movie was truly awful.

man sometimes i just love bad things. this movie for one.

Was it not known at the time that Travolta was a member of the church? I wonder why they didn't draw any conclusions from that.

or probably didn't realize yet that Scientology is such a cooky cult

I read the book when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old- I absolutely loved it. I tried to re-read it in my twenties- oh my God it was horrible- mindless, idiotic, poorly written, terrible dialogue... just couldn't get more than a few pages into it. It was like it was written for idiots and 11 year old children. Kind of like that cult Hubbard invented.

The movie sucked hard, but I'm kind of with @marinara with this one- so bad it's enjoyable on some level or other.

GI-JOE movie. I want to hate it yet i watch it.

I like Jon Stewart's review: "It's a cross between Star Wars and... the SMELL OF ASS."

Watch The Riff Track!

Anyway, god bless it was so bad. Imagine the world we might be living in if BE was the movie of the decade and Gladiator was a stinking pile of garbage.
