Lol @ butthurt Heinlein fans

I love Starship Troopers, for all the reasons in those articles.

And also because it's also a fun action movie which you can just enjoy at that level.

Hmm, I don't know if Wikipedia doesn't want me to see that post, and kinda doubt it, but from reading it it looks like they made the right call.

My only real complaints with my relationship with Rome Girl is that she admits she doesn't "get why anyone would ever watch Escape From New York or Starship Troopers."

It's not even that she hates the movies (she doesn't find them interesting enough to hate) she just can't believe they got made and have any interest to anyone.

It boggles my fucking mind.

She just reminded me that she also doesn't "get why anyone would ever watch Blade Runner."

I can't believe you're still dating her!

It may not be so much the discovery of a ligament as the discovery of the importance of the ligament.

That gene for healing is going to have some limitations for older people because people lose mitochrondria as they age.

Aaah, that makes sense!

And clearly we'll need to implant midichlorians into old people.

And bring balance to the Farce.

Oh yes. Unbalanced farces are the source of most household injuries.
