10. What bothers me is that a movie like "Starship Troopers" was ONCE clearly a satire on fascism...

Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 11:31 AM by calipendence

... which reflected similar sentiments by Robert Heinlein who wrote the original novel, but that kids watching this film today, will not see the satire in it, but look at it as more of a real projection of us in the future, or just a "fun" action film! I wonder how much Paul Verhoeven is disturbed about that.

THAT to me is sad!
