New ‘Starship Troopers’ movie, more fascism, same old nausea

If you didn’t want to to slug Casper Van Dien before for just being in the cast of the first Starship Troopers, you’ll change your mind with this quote:

“Ed has a dark, sick sense of humor that is absolutely wonderful and just delicious. If you’re sick,” he continues with a laugh. “I love that sense of humor, I love the way he writes. I love that most people miss stuff when they watch his films or even read them. They go ‘Wait a minute, was that supposed to be like that? Because it’s really pissing me off.’ Starship Troopers had a sense of humor, Robocop had a sense of humor and this new Starship Troopers has the political fascism like the first one – and then some – it also has a religious twist that I think only Ed can do really well.”

Ugh.
