I'm pretty sure I've been using the Ford Pinto as my go-to "giant corporations have no idea what they're doing" joke since the ATLAS SUCKED triple feature. Possibly even earlier than that.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-64748938653099726882015-11-23T16:39:36.113-05:002015-11-23T16:39:36.113-05:00"50 caliber vasectomy" GIGGLE
Idle note..."50 caliber vasectomy" GIGGLE<br /><br />Idle note: My first car was a Ford Pinto.

Actually, during the summer the guy who runs Cinemasochist Apocalypse wanted to do themed reviews under the "June Bugs" banner, so I wound up taking a look at STARSHIP TROOPERS as well. It was a real treat, especially since the other two killer insect movies I picked were pretty dull.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-54623703401057358112015-11-20T21:20:14.745-05:002015-11-20T21:20:14.745-05:00Excellent.

Both this film and later, Verhoeven's Starship Troopers turned the sci-fi/action on its ear by working satire and parody so well into them that some fans of both don't get the better gags Verhoeven was playing so perfectly.Greg Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484524631509910440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-25022588692260991372015-11-20T17:56:22.896-05:002015-11-20T17:56:22.896-05:00This blogaround got me to the 40,000th unique view...This blogaround got me to the 40,000th unique view on the Checkpoint as well, which has been making me smile all day.

To think, Weller almost passed up the role to be in KING KONG LIVES. Great job, Tim. W.B.
