If it's decent, I'll file a patent on it.
Who here is into starship troopers
I liked the first one
I am into Heinlein.
As a kid I didn't know it was meant to be full blown parody but it was still funny
I loved Stranger in a Strange Land.
Heinlein is a good writer
TANSTAAFL
I saw the movie for the first time a few days ago and I think it's the first movie I've ever seeing that has made me deeply upset
Why
The only thing I can compare it to is defacing works of art such as the Mona Lisa
Oh haha
You read the book I take it
OH, yes, the movie doesn't convey the book very well.
It's better to take it on its own merit.
The movie intentionally raped the book
It wasn't accidental
The book is such a well-written masterpiece, the movie is directed by a guy who couldn't make it through the first few chapters
It kind of was, considering the guy didn't even read the book. The ideas he was trying to parody for the most part exist nowhere in the book itself
Oh
Go on
No, it's by a guy who is on the opposite side of the spectrum, who was retarded, who didn't read the book
I've only heard reviews of the book so you know more
He's quoted as saying something along the lines of "I could only make it to the first few chapters then it made me feel physically ill so I had someone else tell me the rest"
I've been a Heinlein fan since I was like 9 years old.
Hell yeah
Sounds like an insult more than a statement of fact
Starship Troopers is one of the first examples power armor in fiction, and one of the finest
The director took an excellent War novel and an excellent sci-fi novel and turned it in the one most unwatchable garbage movies ever
Girls read Heinlein too. I loved Starship Troopers because girls had a logical role in that society.
The movie was good imo
The movie was trash imo
I get that you're a fan of the book so
The movie is really a dark comedy
Movie was so so
Book was awesome
Look I would rate it like 6 out of 10
Still not bad
It's like somebody defaced the Mona Lisa and turned it into a BLACKED video
