MODERATORS
Starship Troopers isn't a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie, it's a moderately intelligent movie with pretensions of being a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie.
Robocop, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.
Agree 100% on Robocop.
With Starship Troopers, it all hinges on what you feel when Dizzy dies. Personally, I was legit angry at the bugs when that happened, and then had the realization of "oh... so that's how fascist propaganda works." I think it had to be on the nose a bit for the message to come across.
The movie ends with a guy in an SS uniform saying they've made the enemy afraid and everyone cheers, and still a lot of people didn't get it. So it may not have been dumbed down enough for a lot of people to get the message.
My first thought was "damn, well, at least Rico might have a shot with Carmen again" and I'm worried about what that says about my political views.
It indicates you might be a psychopath.
It's just a movie so it's it's not you're definitely a psychopath, but if you were your politcal views will be determined by whatever benefits you without any regard for the well being of others.
Both are quite entertaining.
RoboCop remake, though, sucks hairy donkey balls, I'll dienonnthst hill with a smile
