Battlefield Earth. Everyone hates the movie. I have yet to hear ONE nice thing about this movie. The world wants it to go away.

It made 100 million dollars last week. WHO is going to see this movie besides the critics? Someone. Someone say something NICE!!! I want to see it. I just finished the book and I enjoyed it. It is a mediocre book to which John Travolta and cast have probably done a terrible disservice but I WANT to see it. I like science fiction movies. I really do! I like Star Trek, Star Wars, anything with scary aliens, space ships, cool gadgets, and funky space-age clothes.

The 1000 page book could EASILY have been edited down to 400 or less pages...cutting a mere 600 pages of wordy bull-crap. It's a modern-day, sci-fi expansion of The Mouse that Roared. Earth is populated with primative people, there's a more advanced species gutting the planet. Humans revolt. Shit hits fan. Earth comes out on top. Duh.

It's more complicated than that, but the book IS over 1000 pages long. The Mouse That Roared. With Psychlos, and teleportation, and gold. And no, I didn't ruin it for you. Tell me the last time you saw a movie where Earth/Humans/Good Guys DIDN'T win. Besides, I just read the book, the movie could be about S&M for all I know.

After reading the book, I expect Travolta to play the same character as in Face Off or Broken Arrow. Cool, and deeply evil in a sinister smart kind of way. I like that character, so I think I'll like the movie...even if it is a steaming pile of special effects.

Do you hear me! I will be disappointed if this movie sucks as hard as everyone says it does! But I will see it anyway and find something good to say about it! I swear!!!!

Okay, enough talking about a movie I have yet to see...

Have you SEEN these psychics on TV? It's basically a call for the bad stuff that's GOING to happen to you. "Your husband is seeing someone else", "Better look for a new job, they're gonna fire you tomorrow", etc...

Doomsayers!!! I feel that the future, while important, is best experienced in it's own time.

Weight-loss infomercials? Pure genius. They motivate me to do situps at 3am when I can't sleep. Thin people talking about how they lost hundreds of pounds, with a picture of their 300 pound self wearing a shower curtain in an inset picture.

Randomness = Time for sleep....blah.
