  • No, thankfully. Parody seems to be the only style Hollywood studios trust these days. - MaxwellP 17:30:01 04/27/11 (3)

    • Troopers is almost 15 years old: "These days?" It not only mocked Star Wars - tinear 07:59:44 04/28/11 (2)

      and Star Trek's childishness (this is one film that has some serious violence), it boasted a true artist for director: Paul Verhoeven. It really is a Western, updated and improved for the "modern age." It's like no other film--- and though it's self-conscious and campy, it's a non-stop joy-ride wherein "good guys" suffer and die--- the violence itself is realistic.

        if you enjoyed his stuff, go wild. Just don't try to pretend that all your tastes have the strength to stand up to close critical scrutiny. Lights out.

          for hit films of a more than passing interest. They have an adult quality not seen in Star Trek or Star Wars, anyhow.
