Starship Troopers! or, the thread for Paul Verhoeven
Ikrik:
Total Recall was basically amazing.....but that's just cause Arnie is so hilarious. I've seen Starship Troopers probably around 10 times....but never because I want to watch it, all my friends seem to love it.
Blue Kitty:
That reminds me. The cartoon? Absolutely freaking amazing. Follows the plot of the movie some what.

Yes. Even if the science is dated (at one point they mention using radiation to cure diseases, this was before radiation poisoning was accepted as fact, I guess), the MI are awesome, and while I don't agree with all of the political pontificating, it isn't unbearable. Verhoeven just hated the book, so he changed it from power armored badasses that are trained never to leave someone behind to a disposable army of a fascist government. I need to see the cartoon, if by that you mean the one where they are actually power armored, and I think there was a graphic novel too.
But hey, at least the armor props were used in firefly.
TheFuriousWombat:
Dude, radiation/radiotherapy is a totally legit way of curing/attempting to cure diseases. It's often used in cancer treatment today.

It's phenomenal. I've seen it like fifteen times at least. What a film.
The Tiger Woods of shitty movies. It basically stands alone.

My favorite part is the sex scene underneath the mushroom waterfall thing in the sleazy guys pool, it is the most hilarious sex scene that has ever been in a movie.
Or the scene where she first lands a part as a showgirl and the rednut is getting shitty at her and she's on the ground thrusting her pelvis into the air and he's crouching down next to her yelling THRUST IT THRUST IT and getting louder and more annoyed with her every time.
I'm going to go watch it right now.
