Yes, he described Palestinians as “the bugs” and said some other really fucking ignorant quotes from that movie without the slightest understanding of Paul Verhoeven’s intent (his effort may have been doomed from the start; he even scolded actors on set for “not getting it” and just enjoying the fascism).
I have some license with what I say because I’m moving and transferring out of state in a few weeks but I also don’t want to have a bad mark on my record by saying something particularly scary about the IDF, so what should I tell him on Monday?
“The humans were the good guys in Starship Troopers” + “Israel good” = “Israel is like the humans in Starship Troopers”
Huh, turns out two wrongs do make a right.
Ask him if he remembers how Doogie Howser was dressed at the end of the movie.
it was just a cool uniform and he was doing it for the human race. He cared about human life so he wasn’t a nazi.
Ya know, the nazis thought the same exact thing of themselves.
ask him if he understand, really understands, why dougie houser shows up wearing a full nazi uniform at the end
Sounds like one of those guys whose takeaway from American Psycho was that being obsessed with business cards sure is cool
