Rat, Food-Pellet.

Three years or so ago, the only thing on TV was Starship Troopers. Dutifully I succumbed, because when there's only one thing on, you have to watch it. I then wrote a quick review:

Boy did this movie suck.

It sucked badly.

On the suck-o-meter, it rates slightly more suckage than "bowling balls through a garden hose".

I've never spent an action movie wishing that all of the lead characters would just die. Not one of them had a single redeeming feature. I wanted to see each of them eviscerated by a CGI monster. This is a movie where the computer-generated aliens were better actors than the humans. If this is the future of the Earth, then for God's sake just let the bugs kill us all.

Tonight, the only thing on TV is Starship Troopers. So guess what I'm doing?
