In Reply to: I took it as satire posted by clarkjohnsen on April 05, 2002 at 08:39:10:
so delectable were the nationalistic (geolistic?) convictions of the youngsters working through the recruiting and testing system...neil patrick harris as a telepath along with denise richards in Hans Solo mode was just over the top indulgence. my favorite line (so many gems to pick from!) is Jake Busey with "Hey, shoot a nuke down a bug hole, you get a lot of dead bugs."he who must go out and purchase today,

It's not exactly Heinlen's book, but Verhooven's interpretation does convey the fascist overtones in the original novel. It's amazing that he does this without manipulating the audience with artificial appeals to patriotism (i.e., like Pearl Harbor) but rather by sculpting a brilliant satire on the vapidness of any society which closely alligns militarism with citizenship.The standard release of Starship Troopers on DVD is already demo quality eye-candy so the Superbit version should make bug-juice out of lesser significant bits of fluff like Moulin Rouge.
Yep, as bug movies go, ST rules! Ironically, the filmed version of Starship Troopers comes much closer to recreating the visions depicted on the infamous Topp's "Mars Attacks" cards than the silly movie of that name which botched the concept a few years ago.
I pre-ordered my Superbit copy of ST a couple of weeks back; BTW, did you reserve your copy from the "shark" too? :o)
Cheers,

I do own a copy, got it as part of my sign up with Columbia House. I remember reading the R. Hienlien book "Starship Trooper" as a young teen.
