Comments: I've never been able to determine what kind of a movie Starship Troopers is. Is it a political satire? Is it a big-budget action flick? Hell, given some of the dialogue, is it a comedy? What I do know is that no matter the classification, I fucking love the film.
- I just bought the Starship Troopers Blu-ray last weekend, and wouldn't you know - my player won't play this either. That's two titles in as many weeks. What the hell? Other discs I throw in work fine. Luckily, Netflix is streaming this bad boy in HD, so problem solved.
- While the acting may leave a little to be desired, I thought the special effects held up remarkably well. Sure, they show some age here and there, but for a 15-year-old film, I was impressed.
- There's so many awesome quotes in this film that it's not even funny. The best part is that one of my favorite bands, Minus the Bear, has used a bunch of them as song titles.
- "Damn bugs whacked 'em, Johnny."
- "You're some sort of big, fat, smart-bug, aren't you?"
- OK, that's all I got. I love Starship Troopers. I'm going to test that love by checking out the sequels. I think I'm going to wish the smart-bug would suck out my brains after I'm done.
