I'm currently watching Battlefield Earth, and posting this from my laptop. And I gotta say, despite the horrid acting, scene transitions, and the fact that you constantly feel lost, the background plot of this movie is solid. It has beautiful quotes that are taken from the book such as when the Alien ruler takes the Rebel Human to whats left of the Denver Library and says "All of the armies that you man-animals were capable of mustering were destroyed within 9 minutes. Within these halls is all the information your race has ever acquired, read as much of it as you like, because none of it will assist you."
I must admit, I'm surprised, and I'm starting to get the notion that Hubbard is a good Sci-fi author, but he sold himself out, literally and metaphorically. I still need some biographies before I can develop a decent thesis.
