Just saw STARSHIP TROOPERS again - how 'bout that Federal Network?

It's as if FOX News bought the Discovery Channel and then the whole mess got FReeped really bad.

Anyone else get that same feeling?

1. that was the point.

i remember watching it when i was really young and not getting it, then watching it again a year or so ago and not being to stop laughing at that.

2. I think that was pretty much the point...

I get a little annoyed when people don't see the message behind Starship Troopers. Sure, it didn't translate well in the (bad) movie- but the book is something of a 1984. Robert A. Heinlein is one of my favorite author, though, as far as Sci-Fi, so I may be a bit biased.

3. Want to be a Citizen, what is the difference being a citizen

Saw it 3AM on TNT this morning too.

The answer to my question is dead. When you're fighting a bug nightmare, in a never ending battle where they are shooting meteors out of orbit and hitting our planet (remember, they are "just" bugs)we don't have a chance.

Stupid Federals.


It ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.:sarcasm:

4. Paul Verhoeven was a prophet

But he missed the people in the upper levels of govt being craven cowards.

5. Not in RoboCop, he didn't.

That was some hilarious s--t, particularly in the fake commercial spots.
