This week on the blog, I gush about Dune (2021)! More to the point, I talk about why I think the film is a faithful adaptation, but not a dogmatic one and also how the film brilliantly presents a post colonial reading of the (first part of the) book.https://acoup.blog/2021/11/05/miscellanea-reflections-on-the-sands-of-dune/ …

I don't actually like Verhoeven's Starship Troopers very much. I get what he is trying to do, but I think the film is fighting a straw-man version of the book and of Heinlein in general and while the combat scenes are meant to be satirical send-ups of dumb action scenes...

...they're so dumb that I find them a bit irritating. Not saying it is an objectively bad movie, just that it isn't for me.

“Starship Troopers” is definitely one of those movies that is more “interesting" than “good."

Is it, though? The Moral Philosophy class is lifted almost verbatim from the book, and that sums up the ethical and political justifications behind the Terran Federation and the veteran system.
