I would call it satire, though some might easily confuse that with an attempt to start a flame war. I mean, let's be honest here, if someone wanted a flame war I doubt they'd bother writing anything so long and detailed when "lol U gis sux" would do

Starship Troopers, awesome, underrated, often misunderstood movie.
But how can they misunderstand "the USA is bestest!" "War is really fun!" "Patriotism is good!" "Segregating people based on a notion of duty fulfilled by military service is awesome!" and most important of all: "Humans are totally competent and infallible!"
And if anyone thought that wasn't said with the exact same sarcasm/satire/political commentary as the movie, shame on you 
I like the part where the Jomsviking completely misunderstood the situation as per usual. We even had the classic "I wasn't there but I am outraged..." Jomsburger.

I know, right? It's not exactly subtle. And yet, I've encountered countless people who were all "I liked the movie, but I liked the book better. I don't think the movie captured the book as well as it could have". LIKE, SERIOUSLY?KickingJoub said:But how can they misunderstand "the USA is bestest!" "War is really fun!" "Patriotism is good!"

Hats off! You have made quite an effort there, Wernicke. What a pity that at least parts of the target group did apparently not get the message.Wernicke said:

Even if Wernicke's article did not cause anything else at all, at least it prompted me to finally watch Starship Troopers.hrotha said:

Interesting... Let's hope it turns out to be good unlike recent attempts to portray this period.
I wish Sean Bean was young again. No doubt he has to be in somehow.'
EDIT: Gods, I just realised what you were on about. That would be brilliant with the younger version of those two!

Not like directors ever pay attention to what's in the literature they're "basing" their movie on, anyway. I shall not watch it - for there lingers an omnious feeling that it is going to be terrible.
My asscheeks are so uptight about this they could crack a nut.
