Battlefield Earth (Top 5 questions.)

Battlefield Earth (Top 5 questions.)

Ah, yes, this is probably one of the worst Sci-fi movies I’ve ever witnessed.

The guys over at Agony Booth have successfully ripped the movie a new one. It’s one of those movies that most people haven’t seen, but should because it is so bad. You’ll laugh aloud from the sheer cheese of each scene. Travolta is way over the top as the main bad guy.

1. Why are there so many Dutch angles in this movie? Did the camera man fall asleep when he started filming? I mean this is just plain stupid. Was the camera broken and no one bothered to fix it? Xenu will be pissed.

2. Why is the vast Psychlos Empire in need of gold? At this point, a space-traveling race wouldn’t be too concerned with just merely gold. Wouldn’t other resources be just as important, even more so?

3. Why are the Psychlos so stupid? For a race that took over our planet in nine minutes, they’ve certainly slacked off a bit haven’t they? They’re some of the dumbest villains in the universe. Was this L. Ron Hubbard’s intention? I hope no.

4. Is shooting a bunch of cows really a good way to show off your shooting skills? Terl (John Travolta) proves his guns skills by shooting limbs off a group of cows. This is probably one of the unintentionally funniest moments in the film. I can watch Travolta shooting cows all day.

5. So, it’s all right to kill billions in the name of your own freedom? Yes, the human resistance planned to wipe out the Psychlos’ home planet without giving it a second thought. They never once think about the people that aren’t involved in the occupation that are living on the Psychlos home planet. They just nuke the entire planet and kill billions in the process. Aren’t you just as bad as the Psychlos then? Sloppy writing, I’d say.

Did they really need to make John’s crotch the biggest one in the movie? Is that how they choose who is their leader?

What's a Dutch angle?

My favorite part of the movie is the way Travolta keeps talking about the home office over and over again. I grew up watching Letterman with my dad on NBC, and the Top 10 was always from the home office of Worldwide Pants Incorporated, and that's all I could think of whenever Travolta would bring it up. It's so lame. L. Ron Hubbard's imagination is so paltry; the vastness of the universe to play with, and all he can come up with is a bunch of office workers mining a shiny metal that would be useless. Nice going.

PJ: It's when they tilt the camera to either left or right to an angle to give it a off-center look. The best example is the old Batman series from the 60s or anything "drug related" movie from the 60s.

Samurai Frog: I couldn't agree more. Instead of creating a new or interesting culture, he just made them business men. Plus, these villain just didn't seem like the type that are the vast rulers in the galaxy.

One thing I found out later was that Hubbard stated to loose his mind around the time he was writing this book.

Blayde: Lol, trust me, Blayde, this movie is so bad that you'll end up laughing at it. Make sure to bring some friends over to watch it.

The cow shooting scene is the worst/funniest thing ever filmed.

Put it this way Blayde... I rail against Uwe Boll and everything, but this movie is worse than anything he has ever touched.

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Pornstar Mugshots

Pornstar Mugshots  Pornstars and arrest go together like peanut butter and jelly. I am almost certain it is required to have a police record and work in the Jizz Biz. Well, finally something good has come out of Tumblr in the form of Pornstar Mugshots. Someone has compiled (cumpiled?) most of the frequent arrest shots (pun intended?) and put them in one place. You can check it out here, but it very very NSFW with pictures of them during their day job in other words porn. And, if you don't like seeing gay porn pictures, this site is NOT for you. You will see a lot of them being charged with drug possession and Prostitution... like my girl Roxy . I sill think weed and prostitution should be legal at this point. While I won't partake in either one, I'd be okay with people smoking weed and doing the deed. I like mugshots, because it shows us at our complete worst with anger and confusion on our faces. I haven't had the glory bestowed on me of gettin...

Gamer gate some points

Image
Gamergate With this story developing with every second and people quitting their jobs. I wanted to put my two cents in this story with some bullet points. - Stop the death threats: If you're one of these asshole attacking either side with rape or death threats, please stop. This doesn't further the discussion and actually hurts both sides of the argument. We can't have a good discussion about this issue unless we distance ourselves from these assholes on both sides. And, make no mistake BOTH sides have crazy people wanting to cause harm. It needs to stop, so cooler heads can talk about this shit. - No more copyright claims or false flags as attacks : I already wrote about this. - If you disagree with Anita Sarkeesian, stop threatening her: It only serves to strengthen the stereotype that gamers are creepy neck-bearded white guys that just want a “Dongs only” club. Anita's claims and videos have poor stances and one-sided views, MAKE a counter v...
