A woman with priorities.

Am watching the film of Starship Troopers, which I added to the very top of my Netflix list the other day solely because I discovered that it contained flogging. :D

I've never read the book, so, taking this as a piece all on its own, it feels like a shiver-inducing piece of "humans good, aliens bad" piece of propaganda--you can feel the darkness that it's hinting at all through. So on that level it was kinda fun.

Oh, absolutely. And that's what's really annoying about it -- it is a good movie. It's just not Starship Troopers. It's like reading the James Bond books and realizing that the folks who made the movies pretty much lifted the character names and the story titles and made everything else up. :P
