A propaganda version in which the fleet is caught completely flat footed by the enemy and bungles the initial invasion to the point the Sky Marshal resigns because they did such a lovely job.


Yeah that's some good propaganda there all right.

If Pearl Harbor were the analogy then it would be like the film drawing a lot of the attention to the ignored warnings of impending attack and lack of proper readiness at the base. Like no film made by the US is gonna highlight that there were multiple warning signs, the base personnel were completely unprepared, and generally they shouldn't have been caught off guard like that. Instead it will play it up as a completely unforeseeable tragedy that we bravely rose to the challenge of.


So yeah the meteor parts makes total sense for a propaganda film. The "we really hosed up those landings" part does not.

The story I heard was that Verhoeven read the book and was like "haha wow that's fash as heck" and then made a movie that made fun of it.

According to wikipedia he was directing an unrelated movie and someone went "this is close to Starship Troopers lets get the rights to that" and then he read a few pages and made his movie anyway

For those of you who still have a way to watch a dvd the commentary is great and everyone should watch it.

Not actually that terrible to twist it so that specific person was the one who failed the nation, as opposed to the nation failing in general. The Marshal quietly stepped down with no resistance, then a new and better plan was announced immediately. The previous failure is never brought up again.

What I don't get about the elite of this world, is how don't they understand that people like Corbyn or Sanders are actually their only hope? Because even if they make their life more difficult they will not put them against the wall. Othwerwise when the wagon crashes down and new bolshevik revolution happens, there will be no discrimination, everybody with money dies, revenge, just like it happened in Russia.

They've never had to deal with consequences for anything whatsoever in their entire lives, so they don't believe anything bad can really happen to them.

It's this. Honestly, they may be right. I majored in Political Science, and if you went back in time twenty years and told college me what things are like now, I would have told you that there's no loving way, people would rise up long, long before we ever allowed it to get this bad.

The key is when you steal all the money you have to leave the country and disappear.

Staying around in the area you just destroyed is for suckers.

That movie Elysium is probably exactly what is coming. Or already here. There's an island right off of Miami that's only accessible by yaht and helicopter that looks pretty freaking nice.

I only know about the place because I was curious about how the ultra-rich separate themselves from people. I figured Miami has some very rich people, so I just started looking around on satelite photos of the coast.



quote:

Fisher Island is a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, located on a barrier island of the same name. As of 2015, Fisher Island had the highest per capita income of any place in the United States. The CDP had only 218 households and a total population of 467.

Named for automotive parts pioneer and beach real estate developer Carl G. Fisher, who once owned it,[citation needed] Fisher Island is three miles off shore of mainland South Florida. No road or causeway connects to the island, which is accessible by private boat, helicopter, or ferry. Once a one-family island home of the Vanderbilts, and later several other millionaires, it was sold for development in the 1960s

The place has a super nice golf course, beaches, posh condos, and a private school. Workers are shipped in daily to service the rich who drive luxury cars around their tiny island with stone streets and every need catered to.

I bet there are some other little spots like this on the West coast.
