Watching Forrest Whitaker and John Travolta in those alien costumes was great. The writing and acting was excellent as well.

What is it, weed day?
History channel was all about the drugs today, that was some good tv. :)
2 hour special on them dirty hippies, then a show on weed and speed, then another show on LSD and ecstasy.
History channel is trying to tell me something. Do more drugs. And apparently watch Battlefield Earth whilst doing said drugs. :laugh:

Damn. I don't have cable tv so I missed that. Falling asleep to that would've been perfect.

Nothing's better than merry melodies muted with Pink Floyd playing in the background.

The book was good though.

I'm not sure how the OP was able to type after convincing himself that that was a great movie

I read the book a few months ago and was blown away by how utterly insane the scale of time was in the book. Guns and ammunition buried for either 100 or 1000 years (can't remember which) and them still working consistently, nuclear mines, the bunker, argh!

People who say the book was good are smoking something, too. While not as awful as the movie, it's still a steaming pile of shit.

That's what makes it so great when you're high...a 1000 years after man has been utterly destroyed and everything works fine as if it was just yesterday. Oh, there's electricity to power the simulators too... good times.

you're a steaming pile of shit :p j/k

seriously though, although I can see your point of view, i loved reading every page. it was probably the first thousand pager i'd ever read without feeling like i wanted to blow my brains out.
