That's right, and it was one of those big stadium style multiplexes too. Let me tell ya, you really have to see it on the big screen to truly appreciate the sheer scope of the film. Course that's nothing compared to Lost in Space, when I think of all those other people who were in the seats around me that afternoon, my heart just breaks. Plus, my sister has still not forgiven me for convincing her to accompany me. But who can blame her, really? Hah, that’s nothing I saw Battlefield Earth IN THE THEATRE!

You will be on your knees vomiting within seconds.

If, after reading your open confessions here, your countrymen run you out of the US on a rail, you are very welcome to come hide out in one of the many rooms of my humble abode (in the swollen bowels of jolly old Sweden, of course). Just until things blow over. Bring the robots and the family. It'll be great fun (in a witness protection-y sort of way). xoxox - Incipit Chaos Poor Mike.

What was it about these movies that made you say "boy, i'm gonna watch the heck out of these". Did you miss the 80's that much? Were you on lots of medication recovering from severe head trauma? Or is it that most of the movies you've done over the years are movies you actually liked, and it pained you to make fun of them week after week?

Of course, I once did a double-feature of Because I Said So. I really didn't need another movie after that because I lost all faith in humanity and myself and just cried myself to sleep.

When I read Movie Megacheese, and you discussed them, I did indeed make the assumption you had actually seen them. I then judged you severely, and it was a good 10 minutes before I could pick the book back up and start reading again. I had forgotten about it until this post, and now the judgement is back. For shame. That being said, I once watched a full half-hour of Battlefield Earth, without your treatment, on TV. I blame the morbid fascination that makes people rubber-neck to look at car crashes for making me do it (I blame Jose Cuervo, too). My soul is still dirty. Feel free to judge accordingly.

I suppose "Mannquin", another 1987 movie about dating outside of your reality, could be included with those two as some kind of dreadful trifecta. I blame "Splash".
