Starship Troopers genius is that something as in-your-face still provokes discussion as to its meaning. As for its case against fascism - this isn’t mentioned much, but it’s pretty obvious that the structure of human society under fascism pretty much mirrors that of the bugs.

Thanks for that, but except for Carr’s first statement, which sounds like an vague soundbite rather than an definitive recounting, I don’t see how the position (of the people involved, not the press) has shifted that much with time.

The strike didn’t happen. There’s a book Homesteading Space, written with the astronauts, that talks about how annoyed they are that a Harvard Business School course completely misrepresented what happened as a bad management anecdote. This has spread to multiple websites and has become accepted fact.

At the time (I don’t know about recently) M. Night made a point to work with a storyboard artist for weeks laying out the entire film before production began, to the point that if someone suggested a different shot he could say they’d tried it and for X Y and Z reasons the shot they planned was better.

If you mention drones, the probability of a Gizmodo article about it approaches 1.

Rudy Guede killed Kercher. That’s established fact. What’s nuts is that her family lost that closure (whatever that means), when this other two got dragged in as well. They caught and convicted the culprit.

Could you give me a reasonable source that says raw milk does contain the enzymes, or that pasteurisation removes them? Thank you.

Steadycams stabilise the shot, they don’t help much with the weight. Holding the equipment out from the body, operators need strength training to control the equipment effectively.

Joss Whedon is very polite.

Me too exactly.

Even if they weren't discussing tamed raptors and genetically modified dinosaurs it's just horribly written. He's a douche and she's a mitten.

She was a background extra in Apollo 13.

Don't be daft.

Your little snotty reply inspired me to give a shit.

That's great. I'm thrilled for you and your IMDB page.

Liar, I worked on 2, count 'em, TWO Roger Corman productions in the late nineties. Shitty movies shot in break-neck five and a half week schedules.

Liar, 12 day shoots are not possible.... Unless in the last twenty years there has been an exponential technological explosion that produced lightweight cameras that can shoot hours of footage in low light conditions and production software that can iron out lighting, colour and even continuity problems and green…

Well dammit you made me look up the video. He speaks german while being whipped in a fairly generic stripy prisoner uniform, she's wearing a fairly generic dominatrix leather. Not even an evil nazi accent to go with checking for lice (in english). Kinky prisoner fetish, not Nazi.

Fantastic you perpetuated the story that led to this. Max Mosley did partake of an orgy with prostitutes, but it was not Nazi themed. This "additional" information has long been a feature of salacious british tabloid stories, adding a memorable fictional image to an otherwise true story. Google "Chelsea shirt sex" for…

Here's the thing, Matrix stunt choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping choreographed Fist of Legend and directed Tai Chi Master and Iron Monkey, so unless it's verboten to crib from your own prior work, I really don't see what the problem is with reusing a martial arts move he knows looks good shot in the manner he's already…
