| Has anyone ever listened to the Donnie Darko director's commentary? They call Donnie a superhero more than once. I don't get it. I also clearly didn't understand Natural Born Killers or Starship Troopers. Those were two more commentaries that I just didn't see eye to eye with. |

| It was supposed to be anti-war and to show that everyone who engages in war becomes a fascist. Personally I found Neil Patrick Harris's arguments compelling. I must be a fascist for sympathizing with him. Fascist. |

| Their anti-war statements were just too humorous to be treated as serious discourse. Who wouldn't want to do their part at home by stomping on cockroaches? I mean it looked like some serious fucking fun.

| It was supposed to be biting example of propaganda and you are a fascist for think it was humorous. Honestly, that's what the whole commentary was like. It was fucking awful. |

| i always thought Starship Troopers was a propoganda film for fascism, they even have the heroes dressing almost like nazi stormtroopers. its also odd that NPH's hometown happens to be in a part of south america where its rumored all the nazi war criminals fled to after world war 2. |

Neil Patrick Harris's character is pretty much Heinlein personified and Heinlein was pretty much Pheonix.

| I actually thought the system of government shown in the Starship Troopers movie and which you are describing as a large focus of the book was pretty slick. Why not make sure you contribute to society before having a say in our government? |
