Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot
Hadn't seen Starship Troopers in a long time. It's so awesome; I can't believe how they suckered the studios, the money, and everybody else. How could they have seen the rushes and not realized what it was until it was too late?
It's also the best parody of big budget movies in the 80s ever made, and possibly the most biting satire of The Empire ever made.

Then it spoofed action movies from the 80s. If you weren't ready for some actually smart spoofing, the whole thing was going to fall flat.
That said, it's *ing hilarious. "Medic!"U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

The Forever War is a much more intellectual parody of the same tendencies in Heinlein but it's less accessible.Last edited by Kepler; 07-21-2017, 07:48 AM.Cornell University

An ironic masterpiece; it never breaks character once. "It's afraid!" (outburst of cheering)
Verhoeven must have been hilarious. Supposedly the cast objected to the naked shower scene and gave him an ultimatum that they'd only do it if he shot it naked. He wanted the scene, so he did.
I still have no idea how he snuck it past both Disney (Touchstone) and Sony (TriStar). "Would you like to know more?"Cornell University

Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot
Having said that, has anyone watched any of the sequels? I've been assuming they aren't in on the joke of the original and are your standard horrific b-rated straight to DVD fare.
If they're more than that, I'm open to actually watching them.
