Starship Troopers sucked.  As written, each trooper was fully capable of controlling and fighting a one km stgretch f land.  So how does the movie have them fight the "bugs?"  Shoulder to shoulder, like line infantry of the AWI!!  No use of the mini-nukes each carried - hell they did not even use "bug" spray.  I could give lots of other examples, but why upset Andy over this?

The book was excellent, and i recommend it to all.

Steve, Alex - you are both great guys and excellent RPers.  I even like both your tastes in nonKR clothing, which as my wife might say, is not necessarily a good thing. 

I must, however, reiterate the movie sucked more than Lovelace.

Real classy reference Charlie. Real classy there. 

Anyways, sometimes the story has to change to make a better movie.  Like the Princess Bride, great film but a pretty boring book.  Granted sometimes this falls through..about the time where the movie doesn't even have the same characters/themes/concepts as the book.  Looking at you 'LXG' and 'I Am Legend'.
