      I don’t know. Battlefield Earth was this huge blockbuster of a movie that has been cemented in internet culture as one of the best bad movies out there compared to all the other low budget stinkers that Travolta has been involved with in the past few years, which in tern will all probably be forgotten as time moves on.

      Sad thing is, Travolta apparently based his performance in this movie off his son, who was on the autistic spectrum and died from a seizure while in the shower. In a way, I could see where he could come from with that, but I'm pretty sure Travolta's son was in his teens when he died (update: he was 16). And Travolta is a man in his mid-60's, and he was around the time he filmed this. And I can TELL someone on the autistic spectrum who's in their 60's will act differently than someone in their teens.

    You know, it would have been more interesting if the movie kept circling around the fact that John Travoltas character just legitimately wanted the actors attention and friendship. An actor who is having horrible times and this fan keeps getting in the way at the wrong times. The Fan's disability keeps him from seeing how he is affecting the situation and his pursuit of the actor makes things worse. It would have been a story more about the disability or the actor coming to terms with his own life ( almost like an I am Sam type story), something interesting, rather than some weird and incoherent thriller and two psychos.

    What makes Travolta's performance even more jarring, is that his character is supposed to have some form of Autism or is on the spectrum and Travolta's son (who died couple of years back in an accident) had a similar condition in real-life.
    You would think, he would have been more careful on how to portray somebody, who has this type of condition. Instead he goes full-on ''Simple Jack'' in his performance.
    And we all know the quote by Sgt. Lincoln Osiris......
    P.S. About the ''Cape Fear'' remake: of course it's a far superior movie, that was directed by Scorcese and not by the guy who wrote ''I did all for the nookie...'' ,duh.
