So io9 is doing a bracket to pick the greatest sci-fi movie of all time? Big whoop — any dweeb can mash the button for Star Wars; it takes a real nerd to sit down and watch some of the biggest stinkers, bombs and disasters ever seen on screen to determine which one is the WORST SCI-FI MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
And I was just the idiot to do it ... so back in 2005 I sent out ballots to some 60 geeks, goobers and good friends and asked them to reach deep into the bottom of the barrel and vote for the worst of the worst. I also went and watched a bunch of the nominees I hadn't seen before in short order, including the infamous night when we saw "Battlefield Earth" and "Plan 9 from Outer Space" back-to-back. ... my eyeballs bled to bring this -- bled, I tell you!
I also gave a play-by-play of each of the movie matchups, some of which are collected below.
