God, that movie's fucking awful. Some of my friends made me sit through the whole fucking thing. Ugh. Almost every shot is a dutch tilt, too, as if that's going to inject some excitement into things. Ugh ugh ugh.

[Genocide Tulips]

Whoa, rifftrax! That's pretty cool. I think I might have to do some renting and purchasing.

[DIGI]

I've never watched this movie. Reason being is that I thought it was widely acknowledged as the worst film ever made. Is it really that bad?

[abcdefz]

Yup. And no, it's not "fun" bad. It's just horrible-bad.

Here's some dialogue from IMDB:

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000)
Terl: Crap-lousy ceiling! I thought I told to get some man-animals in here and fix it.

------------------

Terl: You... Hungry, little fella? Want some rat? It's good!

----------------------

Terl: It is a pleasure to see you, your excellency, and I would be honored to expedite your clearance through security.
Zete: Please, call me Zete. Does all of Earth look like this?
Terl: Oh, I'm afraid so, sir.
Zete: Pathetic. All the green and the blue sky. They told me this planet was ugly, but this has got to be one of the ugliest crap holes in the entire universe.
Terl: I couldn't agree with you more.
Zete: I hate these puny undersized planets. The gravity is so... different.
Terl: Well, one does get used to it.
Zete: And the human animals, grossly undersized.
Ker: They don't make very good eating, your excellency.

-----------------


[looking at an overhead photo of a car]
Zete: What is this species?
Terl: Well, according to the Clinko historians, the species is called "dog."
Zete: Dog?
Terl: Yes.
Zete: Obviously the superior race, having the man-animal chauffeur it around.


----------------

Terl: Ker, I'd like you to meet Chirk.
[Ker grunts appreciatively]
Terl: She's, um... she's, um...
Chirk: His soon-to-be newly acquired secretary.
Terl: Yes.
Ker: [eagerly] Really?
Terl: [quietly, to Ker] She's stupid enough not to be a menace, good-looking enough to be decorative; she gets drunk with economical speed ...
Terl: [normal voice] - and has other advantages.
[Chirk extends her very long tongue]
Ker: Ooh. I can see that.

-----------------------

Chirk: I am going to make you as happy as a baby Psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango.
Terl: Attention. This is Terl, your chief of security. Exterminate all man-animals at will, and happy hunting!

I'm thinking I should watch it just to witness it's sheer shittiness.

[abcdefz]

I'm telling ya, it's painful. And not fun painful.

[DandyFop]

I'm thinking I should watch it just to witness it's sheer shittiness.

I personally thought it was fun painful. Just include a drinking game, every time they use slowmotion or something. I watched by myself even and still found it pretty hilarious. John Travolta's acting alone is amazing.

barb! i mishu!!

[Mr Films]

some friends and I rented it and got drunk while watching thinking "oh man, this is going to be so great and fun cuz this movie is so bad, it's good."

no no

it's so bad it makes me want to vomit.

it's almost mind blowing how it made it all the way through production. I guess since Travolta footed the bill and not a studio, no one could stop him.

jesus, poor Barry Pepper's resume. And Forrest Whitaker

[DandyFop]

barb! i mishu!!

sup lovebuttons ;)

speaking of bad movies, the William Shatner DVD club just send me one fcalled Dragon Fight, in which workers in an underground lab fight for their lives against a cloned dragon they created.

[Bob]

honestly the rifftrax makes it pretty good

"so...you're really going with that take, huh john?"

or

"six fingers! look! six! isn't that crazy?"

and then there's one part where they dub a laugh track over the scene that's just...that's just great
