Drunk post.

The score literally gives me goosebumps. I'm dead serious. The hair on my forearms and the back of my neck stand up. I start breathing heavily. I get very emotional when it comes to movies. Very much so. I can put myself in the position of the characters. Sometimes I cry during movies. It's just too much to take sometimes. Starship Troopers, of all movies, gets me emotional. There's always some odd one that truly gets to me.

So what did Dina Meyer’s pussy feel like when Rico bagged it?

Hell yeah, Starship Troopers loving rules.

When James Cameron first heard about Verhoeven making Starship Troopers, he said something like “why? I already made it (with Aliens).”

The funny thing is I think those were technically sequels not remakes so its like they belatedly realized "oh yeah instead of just marching you off like loving 16th century fusiliers to fight nightmare arthropods this makes more sense."

The Mobile Infantry seem even worse off than the Colonial Space Marines especially given how they have worse weapons.

At least the CSM also had flamethrowers for their bug hunt.

On the other hand though, the MI have shoulder-fired nuclear weapons.

I like how they aren't firing in even the general direction of the first bug. Lol.

Still a great, fun movie though.

I've known a few growing up, and unless these girls were getting plastic surgery at 12 I'm pretty sure it was their actual noses.

:agreed: that if it's an actress, it's probably work.

The weirdest loving thing is that I think that's technically kind-of a franchise. Like there's at least one other cafe in Europe with that motif.

I know it ignores the satirical elements, but for advertising a kickass action movie it still has one of my favourite trailers.

That is the exact trailer that sold me on the movie as a loving moron kid and my parents worked hard to avoid letting me see it.

Later I would see it, and love the movie for entirely different reasons.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...

Beet Wagon posted:

I mean I guess maybe the intent was to have them be like aphids, some of which do give live birth, but those aphids that do are pretty much constantly farting out a continuous stream of clones from an ovipositor-like structure (vivipositor?) like an assembly line. But like... I dunno they really made it seem very human-analogous which implies there's a huge amount of resources being spent on producing small numbers of offspring.

Which is a shame because like you said it has some gems in it, and even though it's not good it is a bummer to feel deflated by the last bit. Maybe in my head I'll just choose to believe they sacrificed some of the weird body horror of the egg/embryo system to make the queen into an aphid. A scary aphid.

I still can't tell if this post and those preceding it are joking or not. Why are you having such a difficult time understanding that these creatures are unnatural abominations created by a mad scientist? It's not supposed to make sense, that's the whole point.

It's not just the eyebrows though. I kinda just hate that character, mostly because she lives and Dizzy doesn't. loving Fleet.

I'm not joking, I really do think the entire "now the queen has a human womb" thing is dumb and deflates the end of the movie, and the fact that they were going for a "Frankenstein's monster" thing with it doesn't change any part of that.
