Mel Blanc had originaly done the voice of the demon in the Exorcist. Test audiences could tell that the the scary voices was the same as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Barney Rubble etc. What realy gave it away was the line:“your mudder shucks cox in Hell!” Thus William Friedkin had the soundtrack re-done with Mercedes Mcambridge.
Battlefield Earth actually happens. It’s a documentary sent back in time as a warning.
The very first movie theaters worked on a very primitive technology. A sequence of black and white photographs were handed out one by one and then passed on to the next person, then on to the next row and so on.
Needless to say, this proved infeasible especially when photographs were passed in the wrong direction resulting in villains untying the helpless heroine from the railroad tracks, Abe Lincoln walking out of Ford’s Theater, Moses filling in the Red Sea and so on.
And unfortunately, it will happen because the warning was sent back. When we learn the aliens are about to invade, no one will take it seriously because everyone will know it’s just a fictional movie called Battlefield Earth. 
Quentin Tarantino was planning on a string of sequels to Pulp Fiction starring his Jimmie character. They were going to be called Dead Nigger Storage, Storin’ More Dead Niggers, and Hey! We Need More Space to Store All These Dead Niggers!
When Spike Lee heard about these plans he threatened Tarentino’s life. Tarentino backed down, and said he’d change the titles and stop using the word “nigger”. But then he realized the only reason for these movies was for him to say “nigger”, and abandoned the projects.
Western movie sets aren’t really built 3/4 th scale. Growth horomones are given to western actors and they’re all eight feet tall. (Except Alan Ladd who’s One foot tall)
Max Shrenk (sp?) really was a vampire.
Erol Flynn really was a Nazi.
Tom Mix and Wyatt Earp really met and had adventures together.
Contrary to popular belief, hours of careful study reveal that the Matrix trilogy makes perfect sense.
Lumpy concerning what you said about "Battlefield Earth:
You make an interesting asertion there but this would require someone’s actually having seen this movie.
Oh, but according to a famous New York Times article entitled “The World Loves Our Shit”, Battlefield Earth is the highest grossing film ever in 17 countries, including Bangladesh, Norway, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, China, Paraguay, New Zanzibar, and Pepsi Presents New Zanzibar.
Battlefield Earth also won an Academy Award in the year 2042 (at which point the Academy will have included the “Classics In A New Light” award for past films). Note this was due to the film’s genesis of the John Travolta clone industry, which has since produced many sequels set in the Battlefield Earth universe, all played by clones of (you guessed it) John Travolta. Note that these films have a significant advantage over John Travolta movies at the turn of the millenium, as they used clones at earlier and later ages to show Travolta characters at different stages of life, allowing utterly believable life-spanning epics. Also, the remake of “The One” (originally starring Jet Li) with the Travoltas proved to be a smashing success.
As for your prediction, Lumpy, you were mistaken. We fought off the aliens easily enough, especially once we unleashed the Travolta Death Squad (with their patented 1920’s style mullets).
True, but, until 3 days before shooting, it was going to be set in Warsaw, making it not that big of an exception.
Oh, Joel, the “Korea/Vietnam” rule also applies to movies made today.
Continuing:
Irving Thalberg was the first man to be cryogenically frozen, and, in 1968, was the first man to be cryogenically unfrozen. He currently is the secret force behind all Hollywood productions.
The reason films cost so much money in recent years is due to the “film tax”, which results in studios paying $1.50 extra for every foot of film purchased.
The organization that claims to issue Golden Globes does not exist. The people that do issue those awards are the same people who run the Razzies.

Thanks for that incredibly funny yet nonetheless infomative posting.
I wonder in decades to come if films such as “Moment By Moment” and “Urban Cowboy” will be so honored.
The Battlefield Earth popularity statistic is amazing. I knew it did well in Trinidad but was totally floored to hear of its success in Tobago.
Well done Windwalker.
Been reading Phillip Jose Farmer, again? 
3 actors have refused Oscars:
George C Scott, Marlon Brando and Larry Storch
Few people realize that the Bill Cosby movie ** Leonard Part 6 ** actually is part of a series of loosly connected movies, not just oddly named. The other movies in the series are:
History of the world part 1
Mannequin 2
Smokey and the Bandit 3
Police Academy 4
Halloween 5
The connection between movies in the series is so tenious that film execs opted never to mention it.
However if you watch all those movies, in the correct order, your phone will ring, and a voice will tell you, “Seven Days.”
It is believed that this is the title of an as yet unreleased film, that will make everything clear.
Speaking of sequels, there were sequels to the movie “Highlander”, and there is a third “Godfather” movie.
Okay, not technically complete BS, but a man can dream, can’t he?
2trew
and let’s not forget Naked Gun 33 and a third … the Final Insult"
Even more interesting is the fact that Marlon Brando was in all 3 of the Godfather, Highlander and Naked Gun movies.
Mel Brooks is finaly doing History of the World Part 2 which will cover everything from the Crusades to 9/11. Only it will be done with the usaul Brookesque humor- sex and batroom jokes.
Harvey Weinstein is obsessed with producing a remake of the cockroach musical Joe’s Apartment, insisting that the original “did not capture the grandeur of the concept”. Currently he is hoping to have it directed by Roman Polanski, James Cameron and Peter Jackson working in a unique 3-way collaboration — however, getting their schedules to gel has been almost impossible.
<i>Urotsukidoji</i> was actually first filmed live, and then animators were brought in to redraw the entire film, frame-by-frame.
In <i>Citizen Kane</i>, the word “Rosebud” was originally meant to refer to Charles Foster Kane’s fatal case of hemorrhoids.
Near the end of <i>The Silence Of The Lambs</i>, Buffalo Bill was shown to have tucked his genitalia between his legs. In reality, this was not necessary, as Ted Levine has none.
When Peter Jackson agreed to direct the trilogy <i>The Lord Of The Rings</i>, he didn’t realize that it wasn’t to be a soft-core porn parody of the J.R.R. Tolkien series. Jason Acuna, better known as Wee Man, was heartbroken when Peter told him that it was to be a “real” movie, and that he wouldn’t need anybody to play Frodo Teabaggins.
