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.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Although, it would be sort of awesome if they got Winona Ryder to play the mom. She isn't doing much, is she?

From what I understand, the producers of Starship Troopers thought they were making a serious movie, but Verhoeven decided it was a satire. I don't know how many of the actors were in on the joke. NPH probably was.
