I've felt the need to do that several times. Usually caused by "Oh, they made a book about that movie?" comments.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate that movie with a passion. The correct name should have been "Bug Hunt 09210"
On the note of the comic - lol

Starship Goobers - Rev Dark - 07-19-2007
It was not a great adaptation of the book.
It was great satire.
Satire and boobies for the win!

liked the movie, sick and tired of illiad's piss-poor artwork and jittery plots.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

And it featured, um, how did Gryphon put it... oh, yeah, Ubergruppenfuhrer Dugi von Hauser.

I'm pretty sure Showgirls wasn't about Nazis... might've missed it between all the naked women & rampant stupidity, though.---

When I saw a clip advertising Starship Troopers, and the soldiers, going into action against enemies who routinely used biochemical weapons (including flame), had their sleeves rolled up, I knew this flick didn't meet the minimal intelligence check. And then somebody explained to me that a substantial portion of the cast were alumni of Beverly Hills 90210, and I knew I wouldn't watch that movie if someone paid me to.
One of my friends who went to see it anyway told me it was even worse than I suspected. Small unit tactics, anyone? And I still treasure the memory of a newspaper review which commented that even the token black man somehow looked sort of Nordic Aryan.

Redeeming Qualities - Bluemage - 07-21-2007
(see title)
Well, okay, 'Redeeming Quality'.
The drop on Klendathu, while not how the book did drops (sad) was one of the best rousing military sequences I've seen in a long time, and the music rocks hard enough to make up for the movie.
Almost.
Kinda.
Maybe. On a good day.--------------------
