Just watched this movie for the first time and loved it. Let's

remember the part where the guy threw a knife through the other guy's hand?

I wanna have sex with denise richards

What did you think?

Fine popcorn flick that stole character names and a few plot points from the book but otherwise has almost nothing to do with it.

lel. Stop comparing it to the book. It really doesn't matter what the book was like, look at the movie on its own and it's great.

>>83228333
I hope you watched Wild Things.

Humans did Buenos Aires

It's a retard filter, like Fight Club. Retards think both movies are in favor of uber-masculine fascism, whereas in reality both movies satirize it.

It doesn't make sense that the bugs could send a rock from a distance of nearly 100000 light years.

The asteroid came through a wormhole remember? Or at least that's what it looked like. They even talked about the gravity going out of whack and the screen showed what was clearly a wormhole.
The thing is though that we never see humans using wormholes. They are said to have warp technology but it's never shown. And the bigs are said to spread via asteroids to other planets and we see bugs on other planets, so how did they get there?

Starship is far better than Fight Club.

Fight Club is the ultimate normie fav.

>read the book
>become a fascist
The bugs are an allegory for modern Islam, simple as that really.

>>83228988
The book is anti fascism just like the movie. You're retarded.

>the fascists were right about literally everything and created a perfect society
>anti-fascism

>>83229030
I haven't read the book, myself. The book might actually be pro-fascism. But the movie is definitely anti-fascism.

>The bugs are an allegory for modern Islam, simple as that really.
Not in the book, that's for sure. The book came out in 1959, long before militant Islam became what it is today in the Western consciousness.

LITERALLY communism and nothing else

The bugs were the hippies.

>>83228632
I don't think Fight Club had anything at all to do with fascism, one way or another. Towards the end they were anarchists, and their values were a little closer to Communism/socialism.

but it was really just about the inner conflict between the "civilized man" and the human animal. You're barking up the wrong tree if you're looking for a coherent political message

>>83229473
There were no hippies yet in 1959
>>83229479
I wouldn't say they were anarchists. There was clearly a personality cult around Tyler Durden, and a regimented military structure. I actually agree that it wasn't meant to be fascism - it was meant to be generic revolutionary populist collectivism of some kind, and could be interpreted as either communism or fascism. The only somewhat fascist-leaning aspect of it is the masculinism.
What happened with the movie's reception, though, is that the "generation raised by women" and masculine revival themes struck a chord with /pol/-type losers who then interpreted the collectivism as a good thing even though the movie clearly depicted Tyler Durden's followers as being a bunch of pitiable betas.

His name was Zim.

I just watched it a few weeks ago and hated it. All the satire is apparent in the first 20 minutes, and then it just keeps going. I guess I'm a retard who just didn't get it

>>83228436
Whether it is based on a book or not it's a popcorn flick. Mindless entertainment with gaping plot holes.

>>83228206
>Let's talk about Starship Troopers.
>>/pol/

>>83228206
It fuckin blows. Shitty action movie with a few minutes of "hilarious" "satire".

>not realizing the whole film is a meta recruiting video for the federation

Very cool movie for its time starred by very good looking people.
