Funny Review for Battlefield Earth - GeraldRice - 10-23-2006
I was just updating my Netflix info, reviewing all the movies I can think of I've seen so I can get better recommendations and I ran across this review of Battlefield Earth:
I think Jon Stewart summed Battlefield Earth up best when he said that it's a cross between Star Wars and the smell of ass. I hope that the studio exec that greenlighted this one enjoys his new job as the photocopy guy.

I read the first 100 pages of Battlefield Earth. It was incredibly boring. The first book I was =glad= I lost.

Well, Medusa, LRH started out as an sf writer. Robert Heinlien was the chairman of what he called "The Manana Society"--meetings where he and his pulp-fiction sf friends could get together, swill cheap wine, and =talk= their next story out. Save the trouble of actually writing it, yunnerstan. And in one of these after-hours sessions, Hubbard declared, "Boys, why are we breaking our balls for a penny-and-a half a word? The =real= money is in starting a religion!" And that's exactly what he did.
