@regawdless Is your avatar from Donnie Darko or is that just a coincidence?

Donnie Darko was one of the inspirations for my avatar. But the movie is overrated.

Starship Troopers all the way!

It hurts to choose, but it's Donnie Darko.

Also fuck you boomers voting out Watership Down. Akira? Fucking weebs.

Welcome back!

Like both, but Starship is the better movie. It pretty much boils Heinlein's book down to one campaign (and ditches the exo suits), but does it with some exceptional flair. The News Broadcasting stuff was fantastic.

How would you say it is overrated? Does the story fall apart at the end or is there just not much to it?

 

[Franky Family]

Donnie Darko is one of my favorites. Very unusual movie, but I love it. Might have seen it a dozen times by now, a few times all the way through, the rest catching and leaving it as it happened to be on the tv during those times

Some hate it though

 

[Mickmrly]

Starship Troopers won this vote and will be moving on to Round 3.

Back when I watched it for the first time, I liked it a lot.

Later when I was more mature, it wasn't that good anymore.
