The Starship Troopers serries

[Die Hard]

Loved the first one. The second was really bad. The third was ok in a low-budget cheesy kind of way right up to the point when Jolene Blalock said "I've got religion... I've got it bad!", and they fell to their knees praying. At that point I gagged.

The first movie, like you said, was terrible, and greatness at the same time.. Haven't seen any of the other movies but I'm thinking I should check them out!    

Dont.

I've read the book several times. What can I say, I'm a Heinlein junky and I like my fix now and then. AFAIK it's still on the Army's Command and General Staff College reading list. Surprised the heck out of me when I saw it there back in 87. That's 1987 you dweebs NOT 1887.  I agree that the book needed to be turned into a series. Maybe someone like Webber or Ringo could pick up the idea and run with it. 

As for the movies. There has to be a high speed whirring sound at Heinlien's cemetery. He's GOT to be spinning at 25,000 rpm over those movies...........

The first one was bad enough. I didn't see the second one. While channel surfing the other week I saw they had the third movie on. Heck I never knew they did a 3rd one. Oh crap, was that bad. We watched it just to see how bad and predictable it would be. Gag! 

They FINALLY got to the suits that were an integral part of the book. I suppose I'll have to look for the Roughnecks just to see what they do to it. I'll need some pepto and other anti nausea meds to get through it I bet.

Sgt Zim or the actor Clancy Brown is from Urbana Ohio the town I live in at present his family owns the local newspaper & his father was a congress man & has a damn named after him in Springfield Ohio. I have met Clancy a few times @ different events here in Urbana. A very nice guy.

My favorite movie. Love em' all. Although it disappoints a bit, i believe they are still worth watching. I've watched the first one more than 100 times, not even joking.

I do sorta belive in the Politico that was going on in the first.

Don't. Fascism is alluring, but ultimately evil. Just like all forms of socialism.

Did you know that there is also a Starship Troopers board game out. (1980s) That is pretty good if you like board games and can get someone to play it with you.  IF you can even find it for a good price!

I thought she paled in comparison with Dina Meyer.  Now there is the only good thing about the movie.  Dina Meyers....... sigh.

Mobile Infantry does the dying. Fleet just does the flying.

The first movie was great.. 

I haven't watch the 2nd or 3rd movie, but from the sound of things I shouldn't bother.

She is only known to me as 'The only girl in the movie who didn't show her breasts'..

I've seen all 3 movies.  1 was grand in its cheesiness, 2 and 3 were pretty lame IMO.  At least 3 finally gave them power armor in the last 3 minutes of the freaking movie... 

Denise Richards-  Yeah, she was pretty spectacular, but so was the chick that played Diz.  Couple that with the fact that Charlie Sheen has had his paws all over Denise, and she kinda comes in second place in my book.

The TV series was pretty cool though.  It was slightly more in line with the book, with most of the political stuff greatly subdued.  Explosions and bugs and shooting and stuff.
