I'm in full support of whoever said Starship Troopers.
A giant bug planet chucks a fucking meteor at Earth? The most advanced technology and they go to war against tank-proof plated bugs with machine guns?
Smartest thing they did in the movie was firebomb the entire grid with three jets, killing thousands of bugs. That's about it though.
For some reason the stupidity of the humans really pissed me off. I know it was supposed to be campy as shit, but come on.
They had mechs in the animated show though
they had mechs in the book
Wasn't the book supposed to be a really sober look at a despotic 1984esque society, with the war against alien insects a backdrop? Like how one character signs up to fight the bugs so he can get the right to vote, and all sorts of awful stuff like that.
and then the movie is all like "OH FORGET THAT DUDE LET'S JUST SHOOT LOTS OF NEATO CGI BUGS OOOOOOH YEAH"

Reading is for jerks.
Seriously though, why not just nuke the crap of of bugworld to begin with? Why not just take those same three jets and end the war via bombing the crap out of the bug armies that only stand wide out in the open to greet firey death?
There were so many more practical tactics to use. Almost got to the point to where it wasn't enjoyable.

Almost.
because you can't nuke them when there's millions of them and they're miles underground and immune to radiation

nah, heinlein was an ex-military guy and felt strongly about related issues
so the movie is kind of a parody of the book, taking it to the extreme dystopian society

oh. Oh.
I was just going to point out that you can't have neat CGI gunfights between space marines and giant bugs if you carpet bomb everything but

Also for the same reason they just don't nuke iraq, scorched earth and all that. Troops get sent down to hold ground that the planes have carpet bombed, mind you this doesn't happen in the movie so fair point.
The movie is not on DVD and is impossible to find on VHS, but my friend has a copy and oh my god is it hilarious.
The fight scenes are actually pretty kick-ass, too.
EDIT: Looking back at the page, apparently there is a DVD available. But it's subtitled. The dub is half of what makes the movie so hilariously bad. So don't buy the subbed DVD.

The screenplay is so amazingly terrible. Swayze deserved a fucking oscar for being able to complete any scene without laughing his ass off.

Makes NO sense.

Satans..... hints.....
it's a pretty intrigueing read actually, had power armor before the japanese thought that was the bee's knees.
but i enjoy watching johnny mnemonic
naw it's okay
i like it too.
it's not a great movie, but it's alright
i enjoy it
Wait
So he thought that everyone living under the thumb of a militeristic fascist regieme would be pretty cool?
Man, that's messed up.
not entirely
he's directly ambigious about it
lets people make their own judgements
Didn't they have to spread out one hundred miles appart so their weaponry wouldn't cause a friendly fire incident?
I'm sure it was something like that.
Just a one man army taking on a million bugs by himself.
My hopes weren't even remotely reached.
Had to stop before I even reached the end, and I love to watch shit.
Freddy Got Fingered consumed a summer for me; must have watched it 30+ times.
Pony you're a pretty clever boy
will you teach me to play with fake guns
will i ever
also Pony I didn't know you lurked forever too
god h5s
h5s for dudes
i never really lurked at all.
I just don't post much.
well in that case
uh
just teach me airsoft damn it
Thread, Set and Match.
because Cannibal! the Musical!
alright
lesson 1
don't buy guns in stores
seriously
never
any airsoft gun you buy in a store is going to be a hunk of crap
they're okay for side-arms or emergency weapons or loaners to toss to your buddies if you bring them along
but never rely on some thing you grabbed at walmart
this sounds like paintball so far
which I was pretty good at
I see your Cannibal! The Musical! and raise you an Orgazmo.
it's a lot like paintball
you tend to play on paintball fields
and there's a lot of overlap between paintball players and airsoft players
important step:
check your local areas laws regarding airsoft guns, bb guns, and air rifles
but pony I want you to personally teach me
I want your smooth hands guiding
your hard eyes watching
oh that manner of instruction
i see
the internet is ill-suited to such teachings
i must conduct them
personally
