OT: I do dislike stupid people

[AngleWyrm]

Starship Troopers was a good use of an "R" rating. Too bad they don't do that any more. It had astonishingly violent counterpoint (as in Holy Sh*t, that had to hurt!). Naked sex just as natural as you please. And a story that actually managed to do better than that deadbeat hero rides off into the sunset alone bull. But still it somehow dragged on and on, and I got bored waiting for the damn thing to move forward.

Starship Troopers-2? Yechh. Obviously someone made a quick buck selling the property rights to a knock-off company. The end product barely qualified for a film.

LOL Now if only Denise Richards had been on Rico instead of Dizzy I'd a been a happy horny 14 year old muahahaha.

Anyway though seriously I liked Starship Troopers it was "fun" without much need to go "Oooh that's a huge plot twist" it was the kind of movie to watch when you just want to watch "sh## blow up" in large quantities and see a bunch of wet lovely naked women hehe. I even have it on tape to boot.

Starship Troopers 2.......I haven't seen it but I've seen preview scenes and I must say "How is humanity suddenly losing in this version!?!" And where did they get a Vietnam style feel to it when the maker of the first movie specifically was trying for a WWII style feel....I mean crap whoever wrote the script for STT2 wasn't thinking
"LOOK AT THE BLOODY UNIFORMS!" they are Nazi Ripoffs and the Women's uniform isn't even redone that much LOL it's an off the rack nazi women's uniform with the "Citizen Fed Eagle" instead of the "Imperial German Eagle" woohoo!

And oh yeah Robert Heinlan was making a point with his book as well, though I've heard too many arguments as to what that point was (anyone care to shed any light upon it for me) and from what I understand at least somewhat the maker of the 1st movie stuck to it while the maker of the 2nd movie blew i streight out his posterier with a grin.

P.S. The book rocks! now if only I can find the sequal "Combat Command" I'd be happier

Ed Neumeier on both films. Surprise, surprise.

I'm new to the forum, so I missed the earlier SST discussions (darn!). SST 1 is probably my second favorite sci fi comedy of all time (surpassed only recently by "The Day After Tomorrow").

Funniest SST 1 line: "The MI doesn't mint stupid troopers!"

Funniest gadget: The coffee cup asteroid detector (I mean, come on, DR's boobs exerted a greater gravitational pull than that asteroid).

Biggest mistake: Leaving DR out of the shower scene (cost millions at the box office).

I caught SST 2 on cable: lower budget and not as funny, but it still has a couple of bright spots. Kelly Carlson displays her Nip/Tuck body a couple of times, and Brenda Strong (aka Captain Deladier in SST 1) returns as a tough-as-nails infantry sergeant. The MI is still the biggest bunch of ####ups in the known universe , and the bugs are still smarter than humans.
