She posted a bit on SA way back in the day and her interest just sort of petered out and forgot about the site because it wasn't a great forum and she had much more interesting things to do. Goons then flipped out that they must have done something to offend her or scare her off and decided to obsess about it for years.

Some actual critics couldn't tell Starship Troopers was a parody lampooning the gently caress out of the ideology of the book and nationalist militarism in general and thought it was bad because of that, then when they figured it out it was a good movie. CD thinks they can apply this to everything, and thus if you say something is actually a clever parody it's automatically good and makes you the holder of a secret truth.

It's basically the same attraction of a lot of conspiracy theories. People want to feel like they're part of a small group that knows the real truth the sheeple can't see.

But Starship Troopers is not a good movie even when you know it's a satire.

No, every thread about interesting, important, obscure, or just actual good films and film makers that gets posted there dies on the vine.

Makes me said because there are actually a couple smart and cool posters in there like Hundu the Beast God, and it's like watching Hawkins hanging out at a Star Wars Convention.

Just to back you up here, Paul Verhoeven says this almost verbatim within the first 10 seconds of his audio commentary, then goes on to instruct you how to read his movie as a satire

I think that's maybe one of the reasons that whenever a movie thread starts up in GBS or something that they seem to do pretty well. People seem to be a lot more casual (for the most part) about film talk in other forums, even when they disagree.

The Batman v Superman GBS thread was really chill and funny because anyone without brain damage knows that was a loving terrible movie.

The loving CineD thread was a daisy chain of stupidity not seen on these forums since the keto diet thread in W&W ended up with a teenager being put on statins because he only ate bacon grease and cheese.

but whyyyyy

edit lol

quote:


Davis returned in The Phantom Menace to play Weasel and Wald. The actor also starred as a lead in a 1988 film titled Willow which was scripted by George Lucas.

Last year, Davis starred in The Force Awakens as an alien called Wollivan in Maz Kanata’s cantina.

Then later when I read the actual book Starship Troopers and got into the whole whacked-out author and his ideas on government and poo poo and Verhoeven ripping into that dude and the movie was a result of that I loved it even more. Goddamn Starship Troopers is ace.

I'm still so impressed by the visuals in that movie, and it's almost twenty years old!
