If it's decent, I'll file a patent on it.

Who here is into starship troopers

2018-11-11 04:33:11 UTC  

I liked the first one

2018-11-11 04:33:26 UTC  

I am into Heinlein.

2018-11-11 04:33:32 UTC  

As a kid I didn't know it was meant to be full blown parody but it was still funny

2018-11-11 04:33:32 UTC  

I loved Stranger in a Strange Land.

2018-11-11 04:33:55 UTC  

Heinlein is a good writer

2018-11-11 04:34:07 UTC

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

2018-11-11 04:34:33 UTC  

Why

2018-11-11 04:34:38 UTC  

The only thing I can compare it to is defacing works of art such as the Mona Lisa

2018-11-11 04:34:44 UTC  

Oh haha

2018-11-11 04:34:50 UTC  

You read the book I take it

2018-11-11 04:35:02 UTC  

OH, yes, the movie doesn't convey the book very well.

2018-11-11 04:35:15 UTC  

It's better to take it on its own merit.

2018-11-11 04:35:24 UTC  

The movie intentionally raped the book

2018-11-11 04:35:37 UTC  

It wasn't accidental

2018-11-11 04:35:40 UTC  

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

2018-11-11 04:36:05 UTC  

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

2018-11-11 04:36:09 UTC  

No it's by a guy who was on the opposite spectrum politically who used it for parody

2018-11-11 04:36:18 UTC  

Oh

2018-11-11 04:36:21 UTC  

Go on

2018-11-11 04:36:25 UTC  

No, it's by a guy who is on the opposite side of the spectrum, who was retarded, who didn't read the book

2018-11-11 04:36:33 UTC  

I've only heard reviews of the book so you know more

2018-11-11 04:36:59 UTC  

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"

2018-11-11 04:37:08 UTC  

I've been a Heinlein fan since I was like 9 years old.

2018-11-11 04:37:16 UTC  

Hell yeah

2018-11-11 04:37:19 UTC  

Sounds like an insult more than a statement of fact

2018-11-11 04:37:37 UTC  

Starship Troopers is one of the first examples power armor in fiction, and one of the finest

2018-11-11 04:38:06 UTC  

The director took an excellent War novel and an excellent sci-fi novel and turned it in the one most unwatchable garbage movies ever

2018-11-11 04:38:14 UTC  

Girls read Heinlein too. I loved Starship Troopers because girls had a logical role in that society.

2018-11-11 04:38:19 UTC  

The movie was good imo

2018-11-11 04:38:33 UTC  

The movie was trash imo

2018-11-11 04:38:37 UTC  

I get that you're a fan of the book so

2018-11-11 04:38:47 UTC  

The movie is really a dark comedy

2018-11-11 04:38:54 UTC  

Movie was so so

2018-11-11 04:39:02 UTC  

Book was awesome

2018-11-11 04:39:11 UTC  

Look I would rate it like 6 out of 10

2018-11-11 04:39:14 UTC  

Still not bad

2018-11-11 04:39:20 UTC  

It's like somebody defaced the Mona Lisa and turned it into a BLACKED video
