Saw it on cable back in High School. My friend and I sat and watched this thing, all the time talking about how awful it was.

Neither of us could believe we sat through the entire thing. I guess we just kept thinking that it had to get better!

BLUESUNCOMPANYMAN
Starship Troopers: It exists in 2 forms.

#1 A smart libertarian novel written in classic 1950's style. It stands as a commentary on the topics of meritocracy, moral philosophy, and the labor theory of value. Starship Troopers is at the same time a sci-fi novel, and an acedemic essay. Truely a must read along with Atlas Shrugged for any serious libertarian.

#2 A foolish, and at times bizarre, film from 1997, containing obvious plots and stale characters. It's rare nod to the source material is just insulting. The only saving grace of the film was that it ultimately provided uniforms for Alliance Federals in The Train Job, thus disproving the oft quoted statement that "No good would ever come of that film."

There's my problem, I don't do graphic novels. Since the age of 7, I prefer my reading material to be sans pictures, unless it was a Graeme Base book. I do like the movie, and I do own the dvd, it just doesn't make sense.

ah, see, I said it 'helps', but it's not necessary. It's just an amazing book, that is structured slightly differently and allows it to be clearer. I read the novel after I understood the film, and, while it helped to clarify it a bit better, I already understood.

Plus the art is astonishing.

I really liked the book “Starship Troopers," but can I ask you how does the Government in Robert Heinlein's story remind you of Libertarianism? I really liked the idea of only people who served being allowed to vote and everyone else getting every other right afforded a citizen, but from what I remember that is not what made up Libertarianism.

the movie angered me. There was no focus at all on political discourse with the one rare nod at the beginning when rico's teacher asks rico "Tell me the moral difference, if any, between the citizen and the civilian" Rico answers: "The difference lies in the field of civic virtue. A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic, of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not." The instructor replies: "Yes, those are indeed the exact words from the text. But do you understand it? Do you believe it?"

The rest of the film was guns, bugs, and CGI. They wisely waited until Heinlein was dead to produce it.

If I recall, the GN was based on the version of the movie that got scuttled at the last minute (If you didn't already know, the movie almost got made a year earlier, with a much larger budget and Brad pitt in the lead - when Pitt bailed, 2 weeks before shooting started, the whole thing collapsed). The structural and story differences are due to the changes made in the script to bring the budget down to a lower level.

What annoyed me was the unsubtle use of fascist imagery to make really, really sure that we knew that Heinlein's political ideas were wrong.
