    Why has nobody mentioned American Psycho? Christian Bale's performance in that is awesome, some really funny lines in there. Like when the model asks him what he does:
    "Oh, I'm into murders and executions"
    "Excuse me?"
    "Mergers and acquisitions"

    And by the way, Starship Troopers really is awesome. It's supposed to be satirising a utopian society and patriotism. And anything with Neil Patrick Harris is automatically teh cool (Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle, hell yeah!). And how can you possibly like Starcraft and not Starship troopers? Starcraft owes a lot to both Alien and Starship Troopers in terms of terran unit design and speech. The dropship for example is straight out of Alien, and the UED propaganda film is just like the one from Starship Troopers.

    i always thought starcraft was made first before starship troopers, and that starcship troopers copied a lot from starcraft. yes i know starship troopers is from a novel. correct? anyway one thing lame about terran is the cinematic the last one on broodwar (the way they show zerg being defeated and terrans capabilities, units, etc) yes, similar to starship troopers. i dont like it. (its like a commercial and they are jolly about it.)

    thats a mistake blizzard should get rid of in starcraft 2. i hope they will no longer show this terran commercial things. ZERG! wtf?

    if they changed it in starcraft 2 then im correct. they (blizz) realized that its old crap and its not good.

    It is from a novel yeah. And listen to WaterGolem, if you really think Starship Troopers is just another corny sci-fi flick you really ain't paying attention to what really matters.

    ok i got it. its not the story and the message that i dont like. now i know about utopian society and patriotism and the fact that starcraft may have gotten some ideas from starship troopers (all you said that matters. thanks i guess). anyway, like i said i used to like starship troopers, but over the years it just became one of the random movies in my lists. its not the kind of movie that i will be proud of (like perfectly knowing the story, characters and lines) no way. no way it will be on my top 60 lists. maybe its because i find the characters, acting and action over the top (trying hard etc.) anyway its your fave not mine, and good luck with it. peace ;D

    this is appreciated.. thanks..

    about fear and loathing..

    it was made in 98 by terry gilliam.. and it features johnny depp and benecio del toro.. both are hard to reconize at first because they are so amazing in their role..

    it's a 2 hours long movie.. which might seem boring unless you know how to watch it.. don't expect insane action.. theres none..

    anyway.. its a masterpiece

    I'm telling you now....Johnny Depp is amazing in Pirates 1, he doesn't seem into it on 2, and he sort of gets it together in 3. Johnny Depp seems to like playing a lot of dark roles...

    Agree on Starship Troopers 2. Waaaay too much resemblance to Alien or any other space-oriented horror movie.

    wow. a sequel of starship troopers? ok i remember now. now that says a lot about the first one too.
    anyway johnny depp was brilliant in all pirates movie.. i mean the multiple johnny in pirates at worlds end was brilliantly acted, only he could do this kind of things. if jim carry was sparrow, you will anticipate what will come unlike johnny.

    johnny is such a great actor, he should have one the oscar when he was nominated in pirates one.

    Yeah indeed, two different directors, mood-change from the first movie, the obvious Alien-ripoff... and the re-usage of the actor that played the Roger Young's Captain, who was killed in the first movie, in a completely different role too.

    Very true, it really is a shame, but reremember that it wasn't directed by Paul Verhoeven (Holland woohoo! ;D) but by a guy named 'Phil Tippett', ever heard of him? I haven't. Appearantly he played a alien in the star wars cantina :'D

    Theres also a third Starship Troopers coming up, directed by Ed Neumeier, he wrote both Starship Troopers (not the book, but the script) and Robocop. The biggest reason that I look forward to this movie is that Casper Van Dien plays Rico again :)

    Stupid to underestimate Jim Carrey because he made a few corny comedy movies, he did play phenomonal roles in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show.

    I beg to differ, there's FAR MORE worse movies than this crappy sequel!
