  1. Pleasantly surprised... on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1

    I knew that this movie would suck raw rotten ostrich eggs just from the previews, but I saw it anyway. Why, because someone else paid. Why else?

    The thing that I was repeatedly surprised about, pleasantly, I might add, was that the gore and violence quotient was quite low. When they blew people's heads and other appendages off with the explosive collars and other munitions, I expected to see gruesome displays of not-so-special effects. They were not there. Even with the rats being used as food: not particularly gross or disgusting. They just waved them in each others faces.

    The movie was excrutiatingly painful to watch, and I guffawed loudly many times, but it wasn't as bad as, say, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" or "Fraternity Vacation." No, really.
