SUPERNOVA, wotta' waste of talent and wotta' disappointment...

Was THE WATCHER in 2000? I would've remembered it later, like '04-'06. I just thought of that film yesterday... odd bad guy role for Keanu Reeves... another nothing project wasting a good cast: Reeves, Marisa Tomei, and - - - James Spader, also wasted in SUPERNOVA! 2000, a tough year for the Spades!

just browsed a list on the-numbers.com purportedly listing every single movie released in 2000... the only film in the entire damn list that I would describe as entertainingly bad is U.S. SEALS (and even that was largely forgettable)

I quite liked FINAL DESTINATION as well, wouldn't really class that as a 'bad' film though.

the early to mid 2000s really sucked in comparison to the mid to late 90s - both in terms of good films and entertainingly bad films.

part of me wants to see this, and part of me never wants to see it... the 'never' part is winning.

^ never seen it either. The director made one of my favorite movies (The Sender, 1982) so, I just can't watch Battlefield Earth

The Sender is great, Battlefield Earth is bad.

There's an interesting story behind Battlefield Earth. John Travolta initially wanted Quentin Tarantino to direct the film, but Tarantino politely declined. During their discussion, Travolta shared a list of potential directors with Tarantino. When Roger Christian's name came up, Tarantino immediately recommended him, citing his work on The Sender as the reason.

haha I just popped into my local 2nd hand dvd shop and did a double take when I thought I saw BATTLEFIELD EARTH... I probably would've bought it simply because of this conversation... but no it was actually 'BATTLE EARTH'?!.. a 2013 movie. - and it has an even lower imdb score than BATTLEFIELD EARTH (2.3/10 compared with 2.5/10)
