B movies rock, whoo!

So yes indeed I did like this movie, even if it wasn't a B movie.

Myself I read almost all Heinlein books,but I dont liked Starship Troopes very much.It was outstanding novel,but he wrote better.
I wont say anything about movies,becouse there arent allowed words ugly words on this forum...

I read the book that the movie was based on, originaly they were supposed to wear some clunky space suits.

Which of his books would you say is better?


Oh, and in the book they wear vasty-useful power armour* - if you read it again, you'll see that it's far from 'clunky'


*It's oh-so Fallout

in the movie there's one common word.. MEDIC...

LOL

In the movie the gore was poor, I tell you, Evil Dead's gore looked better than that.

@ deadlord: Maybe that was on purpose? That movie was not meant to be an action-flick or something similiar, it's called "satire". The whole purpose was to take the premise of Heinlein's original novel (and it's a known fact that Heinlein was everything else than "satirical" when writing this book, cause he was a known supporter of "positive totaliarism" as depicted there) and turn it not only against itself, but also make a statement about today's media, gouvernments etc...

It's actually kinda scary how QUICKLY much of the things that seemed "over the top" in regards to media-coverage of war in the movie became nothing less than realistic during "shock and awe" not even ten years later...

I don't really know if I want to re-hash the whole discussion I had only a few months back on a german board (it grew rather lenghty, about 6 or 7 pages), because I'm somehow growing weary of it. Let's just say that I really think the movie is great satire (as most of Verhoeven's work), while the book is not much more than a stinking pile of totalitarian BS, at least IMHO.

I was just commenting on how the gore looked BAD, I wasn't saying anything about the realistic shock or somesuch, funny words, I was just saying that it looked bad! Which it did.

Well then, based on what I said earlier, I can just say: Well spotted! LOL ;)
