This first paragraph is only for people who have seen the L. Ron Hubbard movie Battlefield Earth. If you haven’t ever seen it, count your blessings and do your best to keep it that way for the rest of your life, because it is truly awful.
But if you ever have, we want to ask you two questions:
-
How many movies have you seen in your life? (Your best guess is good enough.)
-
Numbering them No.1 for the best to the last of the total numbers you’ve ever seen for the worst, what number would you give Battlefield Earth?
We”ll tell you why we’re bothering you about this after the jump, but please make up your mind about the answers first.
