I agree. It can teach us that a classic novel can be cheesed up and ruined by a director obsessed with special effects. -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 10:37 17
- improved -- nm - moles Feb 16, 10:40
- Starship Troopers is the awesome-ist -- nm - Jovian Feb 16, 10:39 15
  - Jovian, aim higher - that movie is not that good. Other than introducing me to Dina and Denise, it was a horrible experience. -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 10:41 14
    - i would say it's with Fifth Element and Matrix as the best sci-fi of the 90s -- nm - moles Feb 16, 10:42 13
      - it wouldn't be on that list if there were only ten sci-fi movies in the decade - Will Hunting Feb 16, 10:44
      - Matrix - very good. Fifth Element - sucks -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 10:43 11
        
        Sweet merciful crap, you're dumb. The Fifth Element is genius. - David Feb 16, 10:47 8
        
        Gotta agree with David, I must say. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 10:58
        
        I gotta side with Crash. Fifth Element is the suck. Crap acting, crap writing. It has boobs, so it ain't a total loss - TWuG Feb 16, 10:52
        
        I'll bite. What precisely do you consider genius about it? -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 10:50 5
        
        it's funny, it's actiony, and love is the ultimate weapon against evil in the universe - moles Feb 16, 10:52 4
        
        It's that last bit that made me cry for having wasted nearly two hours. - TWuG Feb 16, 10:56
        
        its not very funny, its not very actiony, and its plot has been used so many times, it needed to step up to be considered mediocre -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 10:53 2

        If you don't think "Mooltipass" is funny, you are history's greatest monster. -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:54

        Starship Troopers ruined a novel that I loved as a kid. Now if it had existed on its own, I maybe could enjoy the cheese. - crash davis Feb 16, 10:45
It's the best thing to happen to the developing world in decades. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 10:37 2

- the ipad is? seriously?? -- nm - amanda jones Feb 16, 10:39
don't fuck with the bugs -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 10:36
like if you shoot a nuke down a bug hole? you gotta lotta dead bugs - moles Feb 16, 10:36
That Dina Meyer has a great body....and .... that's it? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 10:36
Service guarantees citizenship. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 16, 10:36
If we have to learn from Starship Troopers, I'm crawling into the hole with hyde -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:35 8
- Why do you have Dina Meyer's breasts? -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:36 7
  - that's just mean ;) -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:38 3
    - The innocent typos are often the funniest. - David Feb 16, 10:39 2
      - At least it gives me something to play with when I'm bored -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:40 1
        
        I'm not sure I'd wait till I was bored to play with them. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 10:47
  - err, hate. - David Feb 16, 10:36 2
    - It is the *only* reason to watch that movie. And if your learning future has more of that, then I'm game -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:38
    - I'm going to be giggling about this all day. -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:37
