Never watched the movie. Read the book. (Or maybe it was one of the Mission Earth books, I’ve mostly blocked it out.)
Don’t judge. It was the only thing I could find that I hadn’t just read right before a 4 hour bus ride.
I remember trying to compose a “can’t watch this anymore” list… Twilight, I gave a chance but was all “OK STAHP” after ten minutes (before Sparkles even got any dialogue)
record was Bring It On: All or Nothing, three minutes, once she starts singing about her boobs
The Battlefield Earth movie was terrible, but that’s not surprising since the book it’s based on was even worse. At least the people who made the movie had the sense to end it after the Mary Sue-ish good guy humans defeated the ridiculous bad guy aliens. The book just kept going on and on for hundreds more pages after that.
Battlefield Earth is one of the few books I was unable to push myself to finish reading.
I never saw the movie, but I did read an absolutely hilarious in-depth review that thoroughly excoriated it. When someone with a website dedicated to reviews of bad movies starts a review explaining how he was afraid to watch it because he thought it wouldn’t be as bad as he’d heard, and it instead turned out to be even worse, you know you’re in for a good time. http://jabootu.net/?p=514
Highly recommended trash cinema for group viewing. (As long as you’ve got some good folks who like to revel in the inherent awfulness of Scientology propaganda.)

I remember Battlefield Earth, after 1 hour I stopped watching it. I couldn’t handle it anymore.
It took you that long?
I applaud you for making it through more of that movie than I ever could.

Hey, Dina!
“–with a very tasteful outfit and a moral demeanor.”
So what’s gonna get you outta this THIS time?
Who’s the girl?
It’s Walkerton!
There’s no Nachitos left!
Now what we’re ’bout to tell you, Joyce
Pay grade
Okay, team…
You’re not safe around me
“Battlefield Earth was two years prior. Travolta had already screwed himself.”
Priceless!

Is Joyce using her, uh, rocket vest in panels 2 and 3?
Seems like something Semme really ought to consider giving to everyone, if it’s really so light you can wear it dancing.
Only Joyce can control it. Something to do with her alien affinity.
Specifically, her Abductee Power is a physics engine in her head. It takes that level of intuitive understanding to fly with the jetpack.

Joyce seems to be having a blast!
Joyce wants to screw Travolta.
For some reason, rereading this, this popped into my head:
“You! Screw Travolta!”
“Yes, master.”
“Oh crap! When did I get mind control powers?”
