To me the movie "Stormship Troopers" sums up everything about the unthinking, self indulgent, money grubbing attitude those of us in flyover country thinks Hollywood is like.
I could have lived with merely a bad movie but they twisted Robert Heinlein's admittedly odd political beliefs into this Politically Correct mush that had no coherency and was essentially silly.
Doogie Howser owes us all a personal apology.

Never heard of this one, Glen, but I thought that "Starship Troopers" was an excellent movie, and one which I've re-watched many times on DVD.
