Just saw STARSHIP TROOPERS again - how 'bout that Federal Network? |
|
It's as if FOX News bought the Discovery Channel and then the whole mess got FReeped really bad.
Anyone else get that same feeling?

2. I think that was pretty much the point... |

I get a little annoyed when people don't see the message behind Starship Troopers. Sure, it didn't translate well in the (bad) movie- but the book is something of a 1984. Robert A. Heinlein is one of my favorite author, though, as far as Sci-Fi, so I may be a bit biased.

Saw it 3AM on TNT this morning too.
The answer to my question is dead. When you're fighting a bug nightmare, in a never ending battle where they are shooting meteors out of orbit and hitting our planet (remember, they are "just" bugs)we don't have a chance.
Stupid Federals.
It ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.:sarcasm:
