Battlefield Earth Screenwriter Accepts Razzie

Posted by timothy on from the right-gentlemanly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Post has a story about J.D. Shapiro, and his gracious acceptance of a Razzie award for writing Battlefield Earth. He first offers an apology to anyone who has seen it, then he offers a funny, outsider's perspective of dealing with Scientologists, and the subsequent mangling of his script for what was once allegedly referred to by John Travolta as 'The Schindler's List of Sci-Fi.'"

    Lincoln was most assuredly not an Xtian Fundamentalist. I see you are trying to use the "X is just as bad as Y when it comes to Z, so vote Y" fallacy.
