I have *all* the fucking t-shirts.
In addition to two overflowing drawers in my dresser for the non-logo t-shirts, the shelves in both my bedroom closet and the spare bedroom closet are almost entirely devoted to my logo t-shirts.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to have all the freebie computer shirts. They are now cleaning rags, since I'm trying not to wear men's cut. Then it was comedy festival giveaways, also men's cut, but those I keep for sentimental reasons. Then general workout shirts for capoeira and early krav, and then krav logo became mandatory, and that was multiple shirts a day some weeks.
Now fandom...

I have a lot of freebie shirts, plus ones I bought on vacation (both geographic tees and stores/restaurants like Pat's Taco truck from Kauai), plus concert tees, plus fandom, plus a fair collection of random ones.

So one of my friends has spent the last two years trying to convince me that I shouldn't hate SuckerPunch.
He just forwarded me this review, which makes his same points only more clearly...I'm still not sold. I mean, I totally agree that Starship Troopers was trying to be a satire, but I thought it failed at the challenge it set itself up for, and I think SuckerPunch might have the same problem.

Because books.
No way was Sucker Punch supposed to be satire. It was just plain awful.

Do you see the book or the movie of Starship Trooper as a satire? I'm not sure how satirical Heinlein was being or if he was just exploring the potentials of that kind of world. He was very gung ho for military the requirements of citizenship. The movie struck me as a fairly straightforward "shoot the bugs before they kill us" thing.

It really, really was. The soundtrack was good, tho'.

I thought the book was earnest and straightforward, but the movie was so freaking over the top that I figured it had to be a satire.
I might be wrong.

Book no. Movie yes. Heinlein was being absolutely serious.

Bravo is going to adapt "Heathers" as a scripted series (or "Heathers: The Next Generation" from the sound of it): [link]
Yeah, that's gonna go well.
