ROLLERBALL TalkBack -- Did It Make BATTLEFIELD EARTH Look Brilliant'
I tried to go see ROLLERBALL today.... However, I had to pee, so I wasn't able to make it. I woke up and began checking out the reviews and the film sounds exactly as awful as I remembered it, only without the violence or the ludicrous amounts of female nudity throughout. So the base gratuitous self-indulgences are even gone. I decided submitting myself to this film again would be akin to masturbating with a cheese grater.... NO THANK YOU. Never again. I can't do that to myself. Life is too short.
Hopefully none of you went to this, but knowing the gluttony for punishment and curiousity that some of you poor souls have... You probably saw this floater and want to rage.... Here's your forum to do it. BTW -- In addition to the remakes that MGM wants to do of WALKING TALL and FOXY BROWN, today they announced a remake of AIRPLANE but with a more Urban take.... Mhmmm, funny comedies about airplane tragedies are going to be huge nowadays.... oh yeah. Well enjoy this space.
