Starship Troopers 3

[AngryGerbil]

The first movie is still the second best bad movie of all time (Army of Darkness ftw). The second is just plain the worst, although I think this third one might take that title.

Never really heard an anwser to this.

It's been a while since I've read the book but I don't think they described the bug is great detail they were pretty much summed up as arachnids.

As for StarCraft, I think like all of Blizzard's Craft series they borrowed heavily from Games Workshop.

As for the movies, I loved the first one. It's vastly different from the book but it's a fun action romp with some dark comedy/satire aspects. If you liked the first RoboCop you most likely enjoyed the first SST movie.

The second move though was totally lame and it made me sad watching it. This movie looks even worse than Hero of the Federation if that is some how possible.

I'm really hoping this can be bad along the lines of Dragon Wars or Shoot Em Up, but sadly I think it is going to be another hero of the federation, I mean seriously a giant fucking mecha, that is the federation's secret weapon against the apparent scorpion bug (which looks cool no doubt). Oh well, maybe a guy named Dix Hauser and Casper van Who can turn it around for Vanguard!....errr yeah.

I think he's referring to the cinematic ending to the human campaign, where they run the propaganda reel.

Anyway, Heinlein rolls in his grave some more. I thought the first one was fucking horrible and it's quite obvious they're only gotten worse.

You were correct in the notion that Blizzard stole the concept, but not directly from Starship Troopers, mostly from Games Workshop - Warhammer 40k

Starcraft came out in 1998 actually, with only about 5 months in difference from releases, and going by Blizzard's record of taking forever to create a game, I think it's safe to say they didn't copy Starship Troopers. The aliens don't really look the same anyways. Not even the old 80's cartoon series, which had aliens that looked way different that either of the more recent stuff.

But yes as mentioned many times it looked like Warcraft copied Warhammer, and Starcraft copied 40k.

I'd actually forgotten about that

So, Starship Troopers copied Blizzard in 1957 or whenever Heinlen released the book?

What the fuck kind of revisionist history do we have going on in here??

You did a good job reading the thread.

[GrobbeeTrull2.0]

You did a good job of reading the available literature on the internet before asking a dumb fucking question.

STFU about which came first.

Starcraft was amazing. Starship Troopers 1 was awesome.

nuff said. If SST3 achieves the same campiness as the first than it should be a fun popcorn flick.

Because books are fully illustrated and identical to films in every way. Just thought it was something to talk about on a game forum, obviously I was wrong.

You two faggots knock it off. If you want to suck each other off do it in PM's

[Hatorade]

Worst fucking salute ever at the end for a soldier. Damm annoying when they fuck that up. Still he has not aged well at all haha and I will see it I am sure.

The novel is one of the best sci-fi book ever. Heinlein is the only author who received the Hugo Award 3 or 4 times and there are good reasons for that.

Now just because I like the book doesn't mean I hate the movie. The movie has got nothing to do with the book, and I don't care because it doesn't pretend to. The movie is great because it's got several layers. If you are stupid, you just see it as a popcorn flick. If you are not stupid, you realize that it is a criticism of the humanity in general and the American society specifically. What it could become.

Enlisting to become a 'citizen' and have a right to vote? Sounds terrible doesn't it? Well let me remind you that in most, non third-world countries except in the US, if you are poor, you can have a very decent higher education for free, thus you don't need to enlist to have the army pay for your education.

To be fair, sometimes, like in France, getting a good education is not the only problem. If you live in the French equivalent of the Projects, good luck in getting a job even if you are in the top 10 of your class. But at least you don't risk being killed by an IED in Irak because you wanted to get a Computer Science Major degree.

So my guess is that Paul Verhoeven, being European, wanted to subtly talk about that in the movie.
