I haven't seen a Katheryn Bigelow movie that I didn't like. Ditto Sofia Coppola.

Starship Troopers is a terrible movie. No one should be "nervous" or "worried" or anything like that regarding the upcoming reboot.

1. Sleeping Beauty's art is beautiful because Eyvind Earle was a great artist. I wish the movie itself were more interesting, though.
2. Kubrick was never a bad director.
3. Starship Troopers is a masterpiece, and maybe the most disturbing and fully realized anti-war movie ever made.

Starship Troopers is even enjoyable as a dumb action flick.
