There are two presenters, David and Margaret. The usual way things go is that one of them will give a review of a movie, and then the other will say what they thought about the movie, and then Margaret will take issue with something David said, and then they'll argue a bit, and then they'll both give the movie a score out of ten. Is great fun. > > They didn't argue about _Battlefield Earth_. They both agreed that it was a complete waste of time and money that should never have been made or released. Margaret said she couldn't think of a single good thing to say about it. David said that several people walked out during the screening that he was at, and that he would have walked out too if he didn't have to review it. Margaret said it was looking good for Worst Film of the Year. David suggested Worst Film of the Millennium. > The only thing they disagreed about was the score. Margaret decided to be nice and give it one out of ten. David, for the first time ever since I started watching the show, gave the movie zero. > > Paul
Someone I used to work with went to see the movie based solely on the reviews. She said she wanted to be able to say she saw the worst movie ever made in the theater.
Andrea's weird like that.
