Favorite Scenes from Favorite Fiims

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I see you haven't read the book. No surprise, nobody who has would accept the "satire" bullshit that the director tried to cover his ass with. He admitted he'd done no more than read the back of a paperback copy before making that train wreck.

The Cossack ambush of the Polish knights in "Tara Bulba". Otherwise a very tedious film.

No, I was unable to read Heinlein well before I saw Starship Troopers; not a fan of his writing style. My takeaway from the film, was that Ezsterhaus considered the original work to be pro-militaristic/nationalistic, fascist garbage...and all but accuses the the author of being a Nazi. I assume the lefty, liberal pinkos running Hollywood wished to capitalize on the popularity of the novel while repudiating its alleged ideological themes, and thusly retooled it.

The political satirism came across loud and clear to me.

I'm sure it did.
