He has been in critically acclaimed films such as Saving Private Ryan and True Grit. His career recovered. Unlike Travolta's. This film, along with Gotti and The Fanatic, killed his career.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Hubbard created "Psychlo" not as malapropism of "psycho", but as contraction of "psychologist", because he had these paranoid conspiracy theories about psychologists after he had had to undergo psychiatric evaluation (and diagnosis asa sociopath) after his wife had filed for divorce on reason of Hubbard constanty beating and abusing her, esp while she was pregnant. If you read Hubbard's unhinged book _Dianetics_ that would later lead to Scientology, one of his paranoid-misogynistic obsessions was the idea that pregnant wives were constantly having extramarital affairs or trying to abort their babies by running belly-first into tables. Go figure. ("No, your Honor, the bruises on my pregnant wife's belly are not from me beating her with a stick! She keeps running into tables on purpose!")

[@Chellebelle121]

That makes SOOOO much sense. Except the promiscuous pregnant women running into…tables?? Where the hell did THAT come from!?! I’m shocked they actually thought this was amazing. Even more surprising was how many people continue to believe in this entitled, fat psychopath.

So a Fast & Furious movie can seriously damage or even "kill" the sin counter, but this movie only reaches 335 with the help of TWO bonus rounds.

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

Probably why they took so long to get around to this. I thought they had already sinned it personally, but maybe knowing the just... absolutely terrible quality of this movie prior they needed to get the sin counter beefed up for it

[@dryued6874]

It's an old video, the counter needs to be adjusted for sin inflation.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

Yep, I don't know how it could end up with under 1000 sins. I think the mistake was not using the sins from the bonus rounds as multiplicators. Of course, "multiply sin count by number of razzies" probably would have done the trick, too.

Even if you don't know how jets work, your CAR won't start after sitting unused for a month, so the idea that a flying machine would still work normally after sitting for years is absurd.

[@josebrown5961]

Oh and I forgot another thing. The AV8 Harrier is a MARINE jet. Fort Hood, now Ft. Cavazos, is an ARMY base and would never have a Marine aircraft. Ft.Hood does have fixed wing aircraft. They fly the A10 Thunderbolt a very agile aircraft that would be a fine choice to fly against the Psyclo aircraft. But remember John Travolta told him that all our fighters got decimated in 9 minutes! So a team of cavemen were able to divine how to fight? I mean from flying the most difficult jet, and understanding the weapons systems of that jet. Oh yeah and the 1000 year old jet fuel was able to get those jets from Central Texas all the way to Denver Colorado and have the fuel to fight?

This is a movie inspired by the book if anything. There are so many things they just removed or glossed over from the book. For instance; how Johnny knows about the whole nuke thing is because the aliens breath gas got exposed to some uranium ore that was mixed into gold and caused an explosion. An accident makes much more sense as to why Jonny knows this is a thing rather then learning it threw the machine. The movie changes things like this threw out.

For a future American tail 2 video: 1.during the cat attack when Tanya (and her family) are thrown out of her house you can notice that the authors decided to leave her without underwear in the sequel, they openly show that she has nothing under her skirt (2. The same happens in the scene when Tanya falls in the powder puff); 3.when Tanya dances in the bar you can notice that her big muscular body (from the past shots) has turned into a thin female waist (her legs especially became longer), how is it possible?

I think the (BATTLEFIELD EARTH) story, should be made into a show series.
