I read Heinlein's Starship Troopers as a kid. Watching the movie years later, they had changed so much stuff, I didn't even realize it was based on the book.

It really wasn't. They pretty much just paid to use the title to ward off an eventual lawsuit.

They had two things in common, soldiers and bugs.

I read that and enough Heinlein to realize his books are crap. Yes, even Stranger In A Strange Land. He is the most overrated sci-fi author.

Starship Troopers the movie is at least coherent as a story, and doesn't try to take you on a wonderland of the author's repressed desires. Yes, it sucks, but Heinlein sucks more.

Come to think of it, what the hell was with Heinlein and his creepy obsession with incest?
