Battlefield Earth has won the distinction of being voted the worst movie of the decade, which is incredible, because it’s hard to top anything written by David Garrett, writer of Corky Romano and Deuce Bigalow.
Seriously. That guy is the worst writer in recorded history.
But Battlefield Earth’s scribe has penned a hilarious apology. In the event that anybody writes the worst movie of the decade, I invite them to take it as much as stride as possible. Apparently J.D. Shapiro first got interested in the project after learning that the Scientology Celebrity Center was a great place to meet women. Being that meeting people in a religious center could never end well, the president of the center was a huge fan of his previous penned work, Robin Hood: Men In Tights. They got to talking about doing a movie, with obvious hilarious results.
If you’ve never seen Battlefield Earth, you’ve never seen John Travolta wearing the most ridiculous hairpiece that should be donated to the Smithsonian in an exhibit that lists the ways Scientology have enhanced our lives.
Anyway, he sent a hilarious apology to the New York Post, with stories about the origins of the film, if you can call it that. If there’s a God, I guarantee you he watches Battlefield Earth when he’s drunk.
