Mea Culpa

[bettertomorrowamy]

I penned the suckiest movie ever - sorry!

This month, "Battlefield Earth," the blockbuster bomb based on the novel by Sciento logy founder L. Ron Hubbard, won the Razzie for "Worst Movie of the Decade." J.D. Sha piro, the film's first screenwriter, accepted the award in person. Shapiro, who also wrote the screenplay for "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," "We Married Margo," and is developing a King Arthur spoof called "524 AD" (524AD.com), explains what it's like to be attached to one of Hol lywood's most notorious flops.

Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see "Battlefield Earth."

This apology almost makes the movie worthwhile. I kind of love this guy.

[satanloveskitties]

his story would make a better movie !

His Razzie acceptance speech is also quite good. (It's an image, for some bizarre reason.)

[Cosmic Muse]

I wish more screenwriters would make such formal, public apologies. I'm certain we could all make quite a foridable list of screenwriters for that very purpose.

We need some actors to do this as well. and Directors.

[Relaxing Dragon]

We need some actors to do this as well. and Directors.

What luck, Tommy Wiseau fits the bill for all three.

Now where's the cinematographer One Legged Pete. I want an apology from him, too.
