There's always people who dont like certain genre or misunderstand what the genre is doing.

Take Antichrist for example, it's a mix of psychological stuff and shock gore, I loved it not because of the gore (tho, I must admit I'm a sucker for splatter flicks ) but because I though it was brilliant in many many ways. I recommended it to my cousin who then called me a nutjob after watching it, obviously they only saw the gore in it (ok, well maybe hitting a guy to the privates and then wanking it off so the blood squirts all over is kinda hard to miss ) and missed the other stuff.

BTW The German version sounds *******ing awesome! Sternenkrieger! If the German Army ever decides to rename its self (again) I vote for "The Sternenkrieger"! Doesn't everything sound more awesome in German?

I had read the book a few years before the movie came out (didn't like the book all that much, Warhammer 40K is much better scifi). The movie is so different from the book, it's almost a new story with the same name.

The Space Marines of Warhammer were very much inspired by the Mobile Infantry of Starship Troopers. Just about every military SciFi has some elements borrowed from Starship Troopers from Aliens to Stargate.

That cannibal movie spawned more rumours in the eighties as to whether the footage was real or acted than any other movie I can recall

Yes indeedy! Blacula came out the same time as Jeremiah Johnson. I was watching Redford at the six-screen drive-in and could see that thing playing in the rear-view mirror.

Not knowing a source is a tradition. Like the young friend I showed Casablanca to a few years back. He didn't like it - said they used too many cliched quotes. I had to explain that they had to come from somewhere...

Yea, I'm trying to get my best friend to read ST. He in to Japanese Mecha Anime, and I've told him several times that ST was one of the first to popularize Mecha type combat. But he is too hard headed... Oh well next time he comes to town I'm making sure he takes one of my copies with him.

About 10 minutes ago I just watched the 1965 "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster".

Now, realize that I really like campy Sci Fi movies from the 50's and 60's. I have been collecting them for a few years. But I can honestly say this is not bad as in campy, it is simply bad.

It did have Marilyn Hanold (yum) but she was wearing far too many clothes and she aint no actress.
