Sorry, but I thought you knew:

"Keep the Shiny side up"
I don't think Chris is counting that part, 'cause if there's one movie that was MORE terrible than the oringinal it'd be Starship Troopers 2!
I enjoyed the original Starship Troopers as a comicbook-y cheese filled movie, and didn't read too much into it.
PS. Spielberg ROCKS!

It's a political allegory for American foreign policy. Think about it; two guys who appear different but are actually really alike, who crash into other people's parties without being invited, for their own benefit.
ok, I'll shut up now

I actually like the political part of Star War 1, 2, & 3, it just the flicks themselves that suck.

POLITICAL moves that made me go "meh"?
Fahrenheit 911- Sloppy and trivial.
An Inconvenient Truth- For beginners.
V for Vendetta- I really hate "revolution by superhero" stories
The Island- Uh puhleez!!
OTOH, political movies that shook me up...
Hearts and Minds- actual footage from the Vietnam war that never shown on TV
1984- much better than "V"
---------------------------------
Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

Um... the only disappointment in this arena I can think of is Man of the Year. It's not necessarily that I didn't like the message, but that I felt the advertisers had to manipulate people into believing that it was a funny Robin Williams and ensemble flick that would remind me of The Daily Show. That left a bad taste in my mouth. (Plus, that one woman was... eh.)
