Paul Verhoeven does beautiful work. If one looks at the absolute "info-tainment" shows and observes the squalid state of journalism online, and then watches the opening sequence of ROBOCOP , it is apparent that our man is either a pre-cog, or gave some truly evil people some really bad ideas.
Starship Troopers is a magnificent action flick that parodies the WWII films full of righteous indignation and hatred. Would argue that is has a particular resonance now to our current armed conflicts. However, will concede that the film strays very far from Mr. Heinlein's original. Personally, think ol' Bobby would have gotten a kick out of Izzy being a slutty redhead hell-bent on bedding Johnny Rico.
As for absolute atrocities that make me want to murder everyone involved in the process?
Two words:
Johnny. Mnemonic.
