18 days agoGeorge Lucas is one of a handful of people on the planet where you can accurately say “They ruined my childhood.”
Like, if you’re a massive fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but hate the most recent incarnation, you can still go back and watch the original. Lucas has gone out of his way to make that more difficult for Star Wars fans. It’s an impressive level of aggression and back-stabbery for the people who made him wealthy to begin with.
Starship Troopers isn’t a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie, it’s a moderately intelligent movie with pretensions of being a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie.
Robocop, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.
