Im currently reading the book and it's pretty good. Why did Verhoeven make the movie gay and lame?
The movie is based and awesome, Heineken was a fascist.
>>214610433Book was boring, the movie is fun, get some taste.
>>214610433What should have been included in the movie that was in the book OP?
The book is great, it has some interesting ideas.The movie is great, too. Very fun, the effects hold up great, and it's very based, albeit unintentionally.
>>214610433The bugs are a metaphor for the palestinians
>>214610643Bugs having weapons, skinnies, a story of how life is in the military and especialy the suits.
>>214610479Sure anon. Don't you have tax dollars Israel needs?
>>214610433I liked the 3rd movie
>>214610690i would also like to add the drone workers that look like warrior bugs who have the chest cannon weapons. them being pretty much harmless and not being able to tell the difference of like 1 in 100 bugs in a swarm are warriors. also bald Carmen as a pilot and ricos father. and my fav, the nerve gas they throw down bug holesalways loved how in somlia the book was a big hit with the troops, hence why they called them skinnies
>>214610643Ideally the Mobile Infantry power armor, but I can see why that would have been too hard to adapt.At least he got that cool hangar scene with hundreds of people.
>>214611383also i almost forgot, neo dogs. it would make it much more dramatic and pull on heart strings when a neo dog handler is kia and they have to put the neo dog down. then when the neo dog is killed the handler has to go into psych ward for years to have a chance to recover
>>214610433Verhoeven barely read it by his own admission, he just took a very shallow interpretation and thought he could satirise...something.
>>214610763oh Is there shitskins left in palestine?
>>214610433There was anime more faithful to the bookhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers_(OVA)
>>214611985I also like repeating retarded nonsense made up by transsexuals because my skin is the colour of faeces and I have a two digit IQ. I presume the same is true of you too.
>>214610433Because he heard you were going to watch it someday

>>214612016Post nose retard
>>214611985Verhoeven was told he saw a Nazi when five so he HAD to ruin a great book for his own personal therapy.
>>214613090A transgirl told you someone told Verhoeven this so you HAVE to piss on the legacy of a great artist.
What was the naked coed shower scene supposed to represent?
>>214613152Shut-up you stupid swamp German.
>>214613090His family house was literally bombed by nazis.
>>214610433>Why did Verhoeven make the movie gay and lame?Because Heinlein called him out from beyond the grave.I think Verhoeven stopped reading the book in first chapter, the part where Heinlein described that handouts to people who had absolutely no ties to your country collapsed nation states. Hit too close to home to Verhoeven lol.
>>214610763>immediate leftie meltie
>>214613270I love that most of the book is just shitting on commies.
>>214613270>I am le stoic sober serious faced old timey manly man destroyer of weak natured libtardsActually you are a spastic cretin who believes online mythology created transsexuals because you have no theory of mind for artists and are an easily manipulated tool who will happily take a losing role in an imposed frame in any cultural issue provided you can feel like you have made a stand you can be proud of. Even if you are in fact actually wrong and the true framing of the issue would be even stronger for your values. You are addicted to the idea of living in a world in which only people you disagree with have agency. You are a conservative at best and a cuckold fetishist at worst. Paul Verhoeven is not a leftist. 99% of this film's online reputation is downstream of one line on the wikipedia page and imdb trivia section which takes something he said out of context to deliberately misrepresent the spirit in which the film was made.
>>214613339It is the reason why Verhoeven seethes about Heinlein to this day.
>>214610643Dizzy being a man and Johnny being a fag for buttsexing him
>>214610433He didn't read the book after the second chapter, and he thought it was boring
>>214613493You seethe about a false idea of Verhoeven because you are some kind of extremely premature case of senility who gets extremely passionate about things while also feeling zero drive to learn about them. You are less than a bug.
>>214613489
>>214613039>>214610763gonna cry?
>>214613604No but seems like you are ;3
>>214613537>false idea of Verhoeven
>>214613556Yes that's you. The anon who simultaneously wants to believe he is the living tradition of epic old timey art of masculinity black and white photo man who owns libtards with perennial insight, and is also afraid of a paragraph.>>214613642>quote embedded within journalist shitcopyPaul Verhoeven is a Dutch Boomer. Words mean very particular things to him. And he is a genuinely complex man who takes moral stands which alienate most people. Have you seen all of his films? Have you seen Black Book? Can you tell me who WROTE Starship Troopers (the film) without looking it up?Why do YOU feel qualified to tell ME what's really going on here?
