J.D. Shapiro Embraces Writing “Worst Movie of the Decade”
Posted on | April 2, 2010 | No Comments
Battlefield Earth recently won the Razzie for “Worst Movie of the Decade,” and its co-writer, J.D. Shapiro, wrote the most telling, hilarious, and honest article apologizing for it.
In it he talks about star John Travolta, the Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, and how it all went down because of his pecker.
Below is a little snippet, but for the full story, click here.
Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see “Battlefield Earth.” It wasn’t as I intended — promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn’t really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those. It started, as so many of my choices do, with my Willy Wonker.
