In Shapiro's original script, we begin with a long shot of Terl's (John Travolta) house, where we find him in his death bed. He drops a snow globe, and whispers "Thetans." The rest of the movies follows a group of journalist-Scientologists trying to find out what "Thetans" referred to. We see the young Terl become a newspaperman and run for SuperPresident of Battlefield Earth, only to lose when people learn he's having an affair with a young songbird named Kelly Preston.
At the end of the film, as they box up and burn Terl's accumulation of Earth Valuables, we see them throw a giant bus-stop advertisement into the fire. The camera zooms in, and we read "Thetans" in tiny print on the poster. The End (?)

Yeah, but she ain't never been crafting public policy. She's all about the image of herself, and any brief venture she's made into policy is utterly incoherent, it's only purpose to serve as another way she can claim to be just a regular gal.
"I think, you know what, he may or may not be an asshole, but he certainly is dangerous, and I'd love to have a dialogue with him."
I do not think you understand what "dialogue" means.
"It’s as if everyone in Washington is Leslie Neilsen in The Naked Gun, and they all have to take a leak right after their keynote address to the city."
I just wanna say thanks for using this reference. I probably saw that movie a kajillion times as a kid with my dad, to the point that we both get warm fuzzies whenever anyone brings it up. So thanks.
"Hey! It's Enrico Polazzo!"
Think of Dramatic Chipmunk. Where’s he today? I will tell you where he is: Chipmunk Heaven. Dead. From cocaine.
I don't think this warning applies to OMG Cat. ODB Cat, maybe.
