I feel like it's getting a bit far off-topic for here, anyway, so I'm going to let it drop for now. If he'd wanted to make a movie completely unrelated to Starship Troopers (which is in no way Fascist; it's closer to Libertarian), I think he shouldn't have claimed to be making a movie of Starship Troopers. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
