Believe me, it pains me to go against Mrs O’s “go high directive”. What’s the point of a moral high ground if it’s on quick sand because the other side keeps eroding the standards. To also use The Good Place as an example, a morally right value does not always bring net good to the world. To win back the higher ground…

That crack at Little Havana will go over well with Cuban-Americans in Florida during an election year.

Oh come on...Katie’s working on the Cool Girl Double Whammy here. She has to be so damn complicit in the administration’s misogyny that it negates her status as female, and so damn racist that they forget that she’s not exactly alabaster. It must be exhausting, and leaves no room for empathy or basic humanity.

I once had someone claim that society should be more like the one in Starship Troopers. Why should you get rights unless you’ve served your country? Naturally, the person saying this was a boomer who did everything he could to avoid getting drafted and ended up avoiding serving in Vietnam.

I think you missed the implication that the bugs didn’t “show up”. We invaded their colonies and they fought back.

I’m going to be the naysayer here. If you want to make a movie about how elevating the military above all other sectors of society is bad, why set it against the Bug invasion? An utterly alien, completely uncommunicative, ravenous enemy who will kill you to the last just for being in their way. What solution is…

But that guy did die in like 2 minutes when they landed, so the point still stands.

The thought of a bunch of Marines watching marionettes have sex is quite the image.

One of the first times I realized I was smarter than my father came when we watched Starship Troopers and his take was that it was an awesome war movie filled with badass action stars.

That wasn’t Ironside, that was Rico’s original commander. He and his buddies are transferred to Ironside’s unit after the disastrous landing.

Not EVERY movie she was in... Denise Richards was the two best parts of Wild Things.

After we saw ST, a buddy summed those two up perfectly.

I laughed pretty hard at “MEDIC!!!!”. When the guy’s head is partially blown apart. Also the children stomping roaches with the narrator saying “They’re doing their part”

Star Ship Troopers was a lampoon of Nazi fetishishism. There was just one small problem. Fcking imbecile right wingers don’t get the concept of ‘irony’ and ate up all that jackbooted toxic masculinity with a spoon without an ounce of critical thinking. I lost count of the number of frat boys who would angrily claim…

Dina Meyer knew exactly what movie she was in. She always comes off as self-aware.

Starship Troopers is the best satire of the War on Terror anyone’s put on film yet, which is why it’s genuinely creepy that it came out in 1997.

society has left itself a single solution to every problem, and it doesn’t work.

Denise Richard’s was pretty much the worst part of the movie as she had that dumb smile through most of it other than the scene she breaks up with Rico.

that’s number 1, numbers 2 and 3 are “IT SUCKED HIS BRAIN OUT” and “IT’S AFRAIIIIDD!” (back when he was still only doogie howser)
