Just wanna throw out the "omg the effects still hold up" movies are Jurassic Park, Starship Troopers, and Independence Day, which all came out in the vague between times of using CGI to SUPPLEMENT practical effects.

The fully CGI movies to follow are the laughing stock of films, and fully CGI films to this day look like trash.

And then... AND THEN a lovely Star Wars movie came out that used practical effects and its dick was sucked dry.

And I'm on my knees with the others. BB-8 and some of the lesser effects being practical made that movie more lifelike than 99% of films that came out between 1997 and 2017.

they're just moderate midwesterners with lower levels of cultural awareness outside of pop culture and film stuff. there was that one wheel of the worst with s.o.s. and none of them could recognize written japanese on the back of the box. jack and rich are video game nerds, what kind of video game nerd doesn't at least know what japanese looks like

but yeah they just make crass jokes. mike likes to make highly off-color jokes and this is mistaken for alt-right sensibility when really he'd make fun of alt-right internet nerds too if they crossed his path. look at how much all of them piss on star wars fandom and turbonerd star wars geeks

Oh sure, as a Midwesterner myself I know where they're coming from in that regard (also in regard to the "let's drink a whole lot" thing too). They basically just get a chuckle out of making fun of people who take themselves too seriously (regardless of those people's stance on a particular issue), which I think is fine and should always be encouraged.

Jack even had that whole bit of "I'm not a gun nut" when talking about Exploding Varmints, it was clear he didn't want to come across as a gun person/conservative.

and obviously Jay is gay and liberal as gently caress, he loves arthouse movies for gently caress's sake.

Jessi has the whole "I'm a woman but I don't like feminists" thing going on, and it'd be weird if she and Mike had too opposing views on that. On the other hand, in one WotW it sounded like Mike didn't like Trump and his cabinet picks.

They just have the South Park approach to political comedy, where they pretend to lampoon extremes on either side without taking a side while very obviously taking a side.

Oddly enough, the novel Armor by John Steakley is more like the Starship Troopers movie than the actual Starship Troopers novel.

Wait, what? Aside from how the story uses Kent (IIRC, they use him as propaganda for the face of humanity in armor), Armor goes out of its way to say "everything about this situation is loving terrible" what with the whole subplot with Jack Crow and company watching Felix fight, it doesn't sugarcoat any of it or make any of it look glamorous/heroic like the ST film does.

Unless you mean just having more action/gore in it than ST the book?

You fucks who cannot enjoy something unless it's utterly politically aligned with your own thoughts might as well give up now and retreat into your favorite Correct Books that you can read and reread and it will never ever change or say something that can be construed to possibly support The Other Team.
