Poll question: Right now, these two films are available via Comcast's OnDemand service. Which should I watch?
As bad as I know Battlefield Earth to be, I can at least respect that Travolta has at other times demonstrated real onscreen talent and ability.

To date, I haven't seen Lohan demonstrate talent of any sort.


So which should it be?

1. Wow, two serious contenders for the worst movie of all time.
Edited on Wed Jan-07-09 11:38 PM by primate1
I Know Who Killed me ranks as the worst movie I have ever seen.

2. Lohan's way more talented than Travolta.
Don't mess the Lohan!

6. Ah-hunh.
You couldn't ignore me if you tried. I'm the train wreck they warn you about.

Therefore...watch it! Watch it!

12. Neither. Watch "Mongol"
It's on OnDemand in my area at least, probably yours too, for another few days.

It was in the "foreign film" category in the last Academy Awards, under the banner of Kazakhstan. It's an AMAZING biography film about the early life of Temujin, later known as Genghis Khan. The costumes and scenery are mesmerizing.

17. But I'm not asking for a Good flim
I want one that's bad enough to compete with the two films mentioned, on their terms.

14. Other.
Close your eyes.

Now, take the palms of your hands and press them up against your closed eyelids.

Okay, now apply some pressure while twisting your hands slightly left and right.

See the wonderful geometric shapes and patterns that appear? Much better than either of those movies.

Keep watching those swirling yellow-black pattern for two hours, then resume your regularly scheduled life. And at the end of those two hours you've not lost a single IQ point, soemthing that the two movies cannot say!

16. Feh. You've clearly disregarded the terms of the poll.
Only an eight-foot-tall Psyclon (or whatever they're called) would do such a thing.
