I love how Starship Troopers is both totally over-the-top in effects and action and also totally committed to the deadpan absurdist tone. This is perfect material for the New Cult Canon and I'm glad to see this article.

This film had its moments and handled tension well in a few scenes but on the whole, as Scott mentions in the interview, much of the film is essentially plotless. I don't care how "reportorial" Bigelow's intent is, the film is an incoherent mess full of ridiculous acts untethered to any realistic depiction of human…

The Maureen Dowd comparison is pretty harsh, but you're right.

I concur, this has been excellent coverage.
