I made the mistake of trying to watch Battlefield Earth last night. Jon Stewart was right: it’s like Star Wars combined with the smell of ass. Laughably bad, inept on so many levels. I couldn’t stand more than an hour and switched over to Memento, which I’d rented on DVD. While Battlefield is probably the worst movie of 2000 (and, as The New York Times suggested in its review, the worst for many, many years to come), Memento is probably one of the best. It’s incredible, ingenious. Rent it.
