I heard how bad waterworld was. When I finally watched it I liked it and watch it when I see it playing. Kind of a mad max on water.


I had the same experience. To use a car analogy, it’s like the Volkswagen Phayton. It was a sales dog because VW was the wrong brand for it. It was still a darned nice car and you could get it for a song used. However, VW never should have produced it.

However, Ishtar and Battlefield Earth are just plain terribly bad horribly made movies. It looks like Heaven’s gate was too. To use the car analogy: more on the scale of a Cummins diesel Oldsmobile. It was always best avoided at any price over the scrap metal value. ;-)

In fact, to paraphrase:
Waterworld and Postman = VW Phaton - VW lost a bundle but a lot of people got a great car for far less than it cost to make.

Battlefield Earth and Heaven’s Gate = Oldsmobile diesel car - for anyone who touched it, it left a mark.

You guys should check out 2012 Cloud Atlas with Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.

Any conservative would spout this travesty a one of the worst movies of all time.

Gay sex, socialism, hatred of big oil, bigotry, sexism, homophobes. You name it, and you’ll find it in this film.
