what a great book. now that i've read it i like the movie a lot less than i did previously. they basically cut out all the plot and the whole point of the story! oh well. did Heinlein write any sequels to this? or did another author? i want more! |

Isn't it ironic that the book influenced Blade Runner which in turn influenced the film of Startship Troopers? |

yeah, the movie kinda blew, didn't it? |

originally published in like '59 or something like that. pretty impressive. one of the only things i liked in the movie that i didn't like in the book was that the movie had female infantry. i don't know why i liked it, just thought it 'worked'. the storyline in the book about his father is particularly touching, i thought. |

the movie is still cool for what it is: a visual spectacle. they did awesome with the effects, and it's exciting on that level alone. |

I agree, the acting is kinda lame by some (Michael Ironside's a pimp though) but the effects and action are still cool as fuck. I have heard the book is better though, and I saw it a bookstore a while back and should have bought it. |

the guy who directed starship troopers also did, robocop, showgirls, Hollow Man, Basic Instinct and Total Recall |

guys, starship troopers the movie is a satire; its a piss-take on america's society/values and a good one i'd say |
||||||||

|
|
goDel is correct, its a satire.....as is with all of movies |
||||||||

Hahah, totally. The robocop death scene is fucking crazy, I watched it on mushrooms. He gets shot like 100+ times at point blank range and then in the head. And yet he still has a pulse when they rush him to the hospital. Like, LOL> |

I preferred the movie, the book was great and had (from what I remember) interesting political views but the movie is a blast. Kill that brain bug Doogie! |

AND it's got Clancey Brown in it who is awesome |

want to know more? |

yeah, what was wrong with the movie? I'm listening to an audiobook of Stranger In A Strange Land which is pretty cool, but I think I'll have to start reading it cos a guy doing female voices just kindof ruins it |
