So, Crunchy, if forced to choose between Battlefield and Gigli, which one is less revolting? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Crunchy Frog \* > \*\* > Coming up next: _I Spit on Your Grave_ \*\* hey now…despite the fact that it is overly gratuitous, sick, and twisted, it’s nowhere near as bad as BE! _can’t believe that he admits to having both of those_ btw- BE is still Citizen Kane compared to **The Item** , though the former had the greater burden given the money spent on it. But once again, **Crunchy Frog** , I salute you. ---

Andymurph is right, most of the things pointed out as huge, glaringly stupid plot holes in the movie are NOT in the book. It took years for Johnny to learn how to defeat the Psychlos [sub]sixe=1[/size][/sub]. I like BE the book. Not as anything deep or meaningful but it’s an enjoyable piece of light Sci-Fi that dosen’t require any deep thought. ---

I haven’t seen Gigli and probably won’t until it’s on video. The good thing about my bullet reviews: my GF works at a video store, so I’m not paying to watch these. 😃 > [@](#): > > Originally posted by tramp[/o] > **I am also up for taking movie bullets… If you don’t mind me stealing some of your thunder Crunchy and would like to share the load…** That’d be cool, we could do a Siskel and Ebert type thing! (I know, Siskel’s dead, but I don’t rememeber the new guy’s name.) ---

**Crunchy** , how do we contact you to let you know of a possible movie? (And not get busted for bumping up old threads). ---
