MetalJesusRocks Metal Jesus Rock. Wow. Small world. I got to meet James AVGN at a NJ show. I got to meet John Hancock over the Summer in Long Island. When you coming to the northeast?
You only have 55 likes.. what the hell man. I used to watch your reviews and just never have time to watch anything anymore. Ill have to head over again. Starship Troopers is amazing!
The Rifftrax riff of this movie is one of the greatest things ever. “You’re it, until you die or I find someone better.” Mike Nelson: “My wedding vows!”
i was a movie extra for Star Ship Troopers. i loved the food they gave us. i was there during their training area. And the high scool football game scene.
My cousin is in the marines and has a tattoo on his back that says, "Who wants to live forever?" He says its from Starship Troopers. I say its from Flash Gordon. And his girlfriend says its from Highlander. Lol still badass.
A wooden watch... It's not some VPN, it's not some clothes you don't care about.... It's a wooden watch... I'd buy that, I never even knew it existed. My favourite things are old things made out of wood, not some VPN crap... gawd I hate bearing
I will never rent from Cinemassacre Video again. I was there today and was going to rent terminator 2 and was told I never returned The Wizard I rented from them in 1992 and there was a late fee James who help me was very rude and asked me to leave the store when I said I wouldn't pay the late fee. I will never rent from this store again! I'm going to Caldor
I stopped by the other day, and the employee was using all kinds of horrible filthy language! Also, he was drinking a Rolling Rock in the middle of the afternoon.
There's actually a HUGE population of South Americans, notably Argentineans, that have direct or recent European ancestry. So, it makes sense that Rico and the gang look so "white", especially since they're rich. ;)
@@IKKIsama14 fun fact 2: During spanish colonization in the Republic of Philippines, they adopted the Spanish language and some words still used today..
I live in Argentina and can confirm there are lots of people that look like any character in the movie. There are no Filipinos, though. Never knew of even a single one; but hey, who knows what might happen in the future as we transition towards utopian fascism? :D
I came for AVGN but to be honest, this series is now my fave thing. Keep it up, I love the nostalgia and I love the facts that are dropped that make me view these movies a little different.
@@vdub1962As am I. This was my favorite review show. I preferred the four man crew, but they then went to three. I think because there was too much over talking. Kieran did a lot of that. I like him, but he never learned to let others talk. Even with three there was still over talking depending who was on that particular episode.
Worth to note, the novel is in parts VERY different. For one, the humans are far less stupid (strategy and overall tactics). Cool they mentioned the novel, tho! I see the guy in blue knows his Heinlein stuff.
Yes, they should've discussed that. Heinlein really believed in militarism and discipline as something good, the scriptwriter Ed Nuemeier and Paul Verhoeven satirized that brilliantly in the film. There was talks about a remake with the power armors, probably for the best that it doesn't seem to be getting realized.
@shadowdragoon6 There are an amazing amount of differences between the book and the movie. The book takes great pains to point out the bugs aren't stupid at all and actually build ships and laser weaponry. Also the removal of the Skinnies from the movie was interesting but I can understand it.
The novel also doesn't have all the fascist stuff in it. The film is a fine movie in its own right, but it was so sad to watch it as a fan of the book and see that they had decided to distort Heinlein's story the way they did. If they wanted an anti-fascist movie, why not make a story of their own for that?
Easily my favorite movie. I helped Dina Meyer back when I worked in retail. She was really nice and when I quoted the flip 6 3 hole, she gave me a high five and was super stoked to run into a Trooper fan. Good times.
OMG YES. Please never stop making these. It's my new favorite series on youtube or anywhere else. (I'm officially requesting you do Event Horizon next)
The film appears shallow, but it's just the glossy paint over a much deeper story. I always thought there was a underlying theme of eugenics in the starship troopers universe, which helps with the mind powers potential.
I love the 27 min mark where they just spiral off into action figures and random trivia, and James is like... OK guys. Let's wrap it up, and they all look at each other like its the end of recess.
You were a bit wrong though, Ogon Bat predates the StarShip Troopers novel by about 30 years, so yeah, Japan didn't t need Heinlein's stuff for power armor fantasy. Mecha also has a more religious association in Japan, derived from Daibutsu.
@@scottieman2 There's a lot of instances where they could use practical suits and effects. Especially when it's extremely noticeable in certain movies.
Jord means earth in danish. And it is pronaunced yor, the d is silent. Maybe its sweedish in wich case the d is pronaunced. People who watch starship troopers reviews need to know these things! Its important!
Isn't it funny that Broodwar had that propaganda video at the end of the terran campaign then the third movie had a very similar video as the last scene, coming into a full circle?
I've already seen a scene or two, from one of the anime films. At some point, I'm just going to binge all of 'em, like I did the Jurassic Park Trilogy, along with its bonus content. There is SOMETHING TO SEE, here!
My favourite random fact about Starship Troopers is that the armour they have is used in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, where the main antagonists are also bugs! Power Rangers/Starship Troopers shared universe???
I loved Starship Troopers. And yes, part of that is because I loved Verhoeven's style of satirizing his movies. But the other part of it is because it's just a funny, dumb movie, and sometimes you just need movies like that. It's pretty much stress relief.
I remember when I was a kid, my Dad and I went to see Batman Forever and there was a preview for Starship Troopers. I thought it looked badass! The preview ended and the entire theatre just burst out laughing.
I'm a movie expert and I can say it's really GOOD on it's own category. It's not an Oscar winner or the best acting OBVIOUSLY... but it's really good. Every Science Fiction fan out there should watch this movie. P.D. It reminded me a lot of Starcraft.
My mother took me, walked out, she said “I’m gonna be sick “ I watched no joke hundreds of times on illegal cable. Used to draw the guns and bugs on Paint
I saw this in theaters with my best friend nick and his dad, when I was 11...opening night...packed theatre so we had to sit front row. What a badass experience lol. Later I bought this movie on vhs when it came out and watched a lot over that following summer. My favorite movie too due to all the undertones and soace between the lines content. It's crazy how multi layered in depth this flick is. Then I found out it was based on the book...so I got that and the opening sequence of attacks is amazing. The only thing they didnt do in the movie was the jump jet and actual armored suits. They need to remake this movie, and with today's CGI...would be amazing to see the book into a movie, but staying true to the book. Would need to be done by a reputable outfit and have a good budget. Remake!
They made a game book for Starship Troopers as well; half Choose Your Own Adventure and half RPG Lone Wolf type book with two separate battles as I recall. Interesting book. I initially was going to return it, since I had wanted the book itself, thinking it was it, due to Starship Troopers has had many covers over the years. But kept it for it's uniqueness. I believe the name is Starship Troopers Shines the Name.
Watch the roughneck Chronicles if liked the movie and book its a great blend of the 2 just as a kids show so no boobs or dismemberment but plenty of bug juice, great action, and a good story. Only real problems are due to business things it ended in a cliffhanger and the CGI is kinda dated as it was made in 1999 with ups and downs depending upon the business in the background.
Well that isn't that surprising. The Japanese actually consider right wing views in a lot of their anime's. You just wont get anything near that out of any post 60's Western Film because of who runs Hollywood. Starship Troopers movie was actually meant to parody the book. It kind of worked as the film is funny but also kind of backfired since a lot of people really root for the Troopers despite how over the top they are.
You _would_ like a military industrial complex set in a grim-dark future that routinely spends time exterminating filthy xenoscum. But who wouldn't except hideous mutants, disgusting aliens, and treacherous heretics? Praise the Emperor!
Saw this when I was 14 with my two buddies and absolutely loved it. The CGI and practical effects are really well done, great model work too with the ships. There are fantastic elements that Verhooven does so well. For the lowest brow of audiences, this comes off as an explosive, terribly acted B-level action movie. I think that this has amazing sub context and political messages in it. I picked up on that satire even as a kid and I love it more as I understand so much better today. Incredibly well-done movie, the critics have NO FUCKING CLUE how good this actually is.
5:14 Red Planet!!! Thank you!!! Red Planet!!! Thank you!!! I enjoyed that cartoon, but for 20 and something years I haven't been able to remember the title! Thank you!!!! Seriously thank you!!!!!
Argentinean people are actually very white, mostly European descents. If you travel to Buenos Aires you might see a Denise Richards alike a lot of times.
@@Nyah420 No, not everyone. There are idiots everywhere. I knew Argentina had a lot of white looking people. I remember seeing this music video from this Argentina pop group years ago. It was set in a diner and the people all looked like they could be from the US or Europe.
There's an anime called Blue Gender I remember watching and it was basically Starship Troopers. It still had the nudity, the gore and the awesome action. The characters would wear mech suits to fight off the bug creatures. It was really intense!
Blue Gender is phenomenal. I always recommend it to folks interested in anime or into military sci fi. The sound design, mech design, story, and music are top class.
Holy shit. I'm so glad someone else's knows of blue gender. People look at me like I'm bat shit crazy when I reference this. Thank you so much for knowing and having good taste.
Not sure if you guys can relate to this, but in the UK, with Games Workshop, there were a lot of the fans that loved it even more because of the Imperial Guard and the Tyranids?...I'll get my coat...
The Roughnecks computer animated TV show was AWESOME! I taped all the episodes and eventually got the DVDs. It was definitely more than just a kid's show. Shame it wasn't really finished.
I remember the absolutely massive advertising campaign this film had here in Czech Republic. The 'holy shit' factor this film had was on par with Aliens, Commando, Predator, etc. Maybe last such film to have this kind of aura around it.
Its a great movie. But it was a satire based on the Book. The book is amazing. The book has a lot to do with Starship Troopers Marauder also. Mainly the power armor.
In the scene near the beginning where NPH is giving rico the test for psychic ability, after he stops for a second to clear his mind then tries to guess the card he actually gets it right but NPH doesn't say anything. My theory, at the end where Rico is looking for Carmen underground and for some reason he 'senses' where she is, I think Rico has latent psychic ability, even though he says at the end "It was you, wasn't it? You told me how to find Carmen" And NPH responds with "That's classified" He wasn't actually anywhere near the site when that happened. Just thought I'd share that, because I though someone might have picked up on it.
guessing one card after that many times he was bound to get one right eventually. As for nph we actually don't know the extent of his powers maybe he used Rico to corner the brain bug they were on the planet exclusively to find it
it just seems like they made it deliberately ambiguous. Either way to believe that NPH has advanced from suggestive abilities being able to influence a ferret to being able to communicate to not only a person, but to somebody underground from orbit, just seems a bit extreme.
Jord literally means "earth" in my language. A weird name for a watch. A farm equipment would've been better choice for it. That said, I friggin love Starship Troopers.
Power rangers lost galaxy took the uniforms from starship troopers trust me its true look up starship trooper uniform then look up the power rangers soldier uniform
I would love to see a Board James season 4 with ALL of the people featured in these videos. Silvermania teaming up with Cinemassacre is the best thing that's happened to the internet since "Myspace Glitter Hell".
Starship Troopers is one of my absolute favourite movies ever, so I was very happy to see an episode dedicated to it! Great episode, though I must say I was disappointed that you didnt analyze the joined showers for the soldiers in the movie anymore, but instead made it about the boobs you have seen in movies. But yeah, great episode :D
the movie is satire, a parody of the book. The book has strong pro-military bias to the point of being obtuse. The movie is meant to show the book for what it is while still telling the story. kinda brilliant, imo.
I prefer the satire to the deliberate propaganda pushed by the book, as was Heiblein's penchant with most of his works. Dude was a bootlicking partisan hack.
11:50 It's also got SAVED BY THE BELL. Patrick Muldoon (Jeff, from Saved by the Bell) was Johnny's arch-rival and he stole Carmen the same way he stole Kelly!
I actually read the book when I saw the trailer, and then was disappointed in the movie. Buuuuut, the Boobs were great. & The Campy stuff was fun. Funnily enough, even as a kid, I missed the philosophy almost as much as the Suits. Evidently the Director hated the philosophy and refused to read the book, which explains a lot. And the Book's philosophy is largely based on an ethical retrospective of history. The maker of the movie didn't like history, or the ethics, so it wasn't in the movie. It was intentional to twist the philosophy into a Nazi thing, which is never was anything close to in the book. The director didn't believe in the glorification or honorifics of the military and didn't see the difference between a Fascist State and a Citizen-Army State (which would have been more like, say, Republican Rome, which inverted the relationship: In Starship troopers, you had to be a veteran to be a Citizen. In Republican Rome, you had to be a citizen (and propertied) to be in the Army)
Imperial Rome, however, saw a military system where soldiers of the _Auxiliarii_ (support forces for the actual legions recruited among allied nations) were granted hereditary Roman citizenship after 20 years of service, while _legionarii_ veterans were given a plot of land. One such veteran was apostle Paul's father, from whom he inherited his citizenship.
Wow such a great discussion on Starship Troopers I also worshiped this movie as a kid. I need to rewatch it now after your guys talk. Never thought it could of been so deep as a kid.
Yeah, I fucked up. Truth be told, I didn't know Buenos Aires was in Argentina until after we shot this and then instantly knew I'd be catching flak for saying that.
hard to think some ppl didn't get the tone of this movie right ... maybe it's because i'm from the EU , but nonetheless this director is a Genius, and most of his work will never age imho . this movie still looks awesome and it's more than 20 years old...
Simple time, didn't try to be TOO real Just gave a reason, gave the action, created a world. Now we want too much reslism.....which normal people read books and watch movies to AVOID
Because the human race is too "cultured" and "intelligent" and "mature" so movies that aren't art trash don't do so well. Also because people are pussies now who get offended by every little thing.
Argentinians are predominantly of European descent. 85% of the population in Argentina is of full European ancestry, a higher percentage than in the US, which is 77% by the way.
@@elimalinsky7069 Honestly , I thought the same. I would not have known any different. I don't think I've ever seen anything about Argentina in the news or entertainment, sadly.
@@adgato75 if you were brought up in a Spanish-speaking culture then for you Argentina would be everywhere in popular media. A huge amount of well known films, music, TV, novels and other types of media come out of Argentina, but these are only mostly known to other Spanish-speakers around the world, and mostly to those who live in majority Spanish-speaking countries.

Well that isn't that surprising. The Japanese actually consider right wing views in a lot of their anime's. You just wont get anything near that out of any post 60's Western Film because of who runs Hollywood. Starship Troopers movie was actually meant to parody the book. It kind of worked as the film is funny but also kind of backfired since a lot of people really root for the Troopers despite how over the top they are.
best MILITARY SCIFI ever!!!
Do you want to know more??
YES!!!!!
Predator
You _would_ like a military industrial complex set in a grim-dark future that routinely spends time exterminating filthy xenoscum.
But who wouldn't except hideous mutants, disgusting aliens, and treacherous heretics? Praise the Emperor!

Oh my god the classroom scene from the book changed my life and my way of looking at the world. And he used to be such a nice libertarian boy...
Whoever said "I never asked for this" did a *perfect* Adam Jensen impression.
Saw this when I was 14 with my two buddies and absolutely loved it. The CGI and practical effects are really well done, great model work too with the ships. There are fantastic elements that Verhooven does so well. For the lowest brow of audiences, this comes off as an explosive, terribly acted B-level action movie. I think that this has amazing sub context and political messages in it. I picked up on that satire even as a kid and I love it more as I understand so much better today. Incredibly well-done movie, the critics have NO FUCKING CLUE how good this actually is.
the last time I saw my dad before he died we saw this in a shitty theater .. I love this movie
Liar
@@jojoface4940 this movie played in theaters back in 97, what is so hard to believe?
@@jojoface4940 that's rude
5:14 Red Planet!!! Thank you!!! Red Planet!!! Thank you!!! I enjoyed that cartoon, but for 20 and something years I haven't been able to remember the title! Thank you!!!!
Seriously thank you!!!!!
I thought that was a fever dream I had!
Argentinean people are actually very white, mostly European descents. If you travel to Buenos Aires you might see a Denise Richards alike a lot of times.
>argentinia
>white
yeah right LMAO
Koseiku youre an idiot
I bet most yanks think Argentina is Mexico, only further away. lol
@@Nyah420 No, not everyone. There are idiots everywhere. I knew Argentina had a lot of white looking people. I remember seeing this music video from this Argentina pop group years ago. It was set in a diner and the people all looked like they could be from the US or Europe.
the real question is, do they get their tits out as readily as her? XD
Seeing that scene as a kid.. that was something else.
There's an anime called Blue Gender I remember watching and it was basically Starship Troopers. It still had the nudity, the gore and the awesome action. The characters would wear mech suits to fight off the bug creatures. It was really intense!
Shane Everett Dude I've never heard anybody reference blue gender! One of my favorite animes
I have the whole series one of the best animes that ever came out.
Blue Gender is phenomenal. I always recommend it to folks interested in anime or into military sci fi. The sound design, mech design, story, and music are top class.
PeacefulJoint I never hear anyone ever talk about it. I started to wonder if I was the only one that ever knew it existed.
Holy shit. I'm so glad someone else's knows of blue gender. People look at me like I'm bat shit crazy when I reference this. Thank you so much for knowing and having good taste.
Not sure if you guys can relate to this, but in the UK, with Games Workshop, there were a lot of the fans that loved it even more because of the Imperial Guard and the Tyranids?...I'll get my coat...
“Im from Buenos Aries and i say kill them
All!” Best quote ever.
The Roughnecks computer animated TV show was AWESOME! I taped all the episodes and eventually got the DVDs. It was definitely more than just a kid's show. Shame it wasn't really finished.
I watched the whole thing as well. It is closer to the book than the movie was. That ending though... what a kick to the balls level cliffhanger.
I was 17 seen StarShip Troopers, in theaters , love it! Fell in love with the red head "Dizzy." StarShip Troopers, is all in my Senior book.
God she deserved more movies...just for Her rack
Yeah she was way more interesting than the other lady.
They ain't a problem.
Anyone seen Blue Gender? Not exactly Starship Troopers but it has giant killer bugs.The trailer on the Dbz buu saga VHS tapes got me to watch it.
The Long Kiss Goodnight. I would love to hear a review of this classic
"This ain't no ham on rye."
"I ain't talkin' 'bout the linens."
Starship Troopers is awesome!
Would you like to know more?
I guess not, but people know it is
Naw im good...
Love this film! Great episode guys. :)
I’m a simple man. I see starship troopers I like.
Good work James, you guys gotta do all the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.
I really love this new style of review from you James! :)
I like Starship Troopers - for me, it's one of the standards in military sci-fi.
Lmao, that Jord commercial was really enjoyable !
Power rangers lost galaxy used the starship troopers military outfits for their military.
I thought it looked familiar on the show!
I remember the absolutely massive advertising campaign this film had here in Czech Republic. The 'holy shit' factor this film had was on par with Aliens, Commando, Predator, etc. Maybe last such film to have this kind of aura around it.
16:25 had me dying, that was spot on man. Oh and your reviews are pretty awesome too. Too bad there isn't a like all button...
Its a great movie. But it was a satire based on the Book. The book is amazing. The book has a lot to do with Starship Troopers Marauder also. Mainly the power armor.
Is this replacing Lighting Fast VCR Repairs?
You read my mind.
Never, not the same kind of quality and comedy
I would love to see that crossover.
Yeah... Nice idea but not gonna happen.
not likely this group by comparison seems amateur
glad to see the new guys are opening up to the camera...keep it up guys
In the scene near the beginning where NPH is giving rico the test for psychic ability, after he stops for a second to clear his mind then tries to guess the card he actually gets it right but NPH doesn't say anything.
My theory, at the end where Rico is looking for Carmen underground and for some reason he 'senses' where she is, I think Rico has latent psychic ability, even though he says at the end "It was you, wasn't it? You told me how to find Carmen" And NPH responds with "That's classified" He wasn't actually anywhere near the site when that happened.
Just thought I'd share that, because I though someone might have picked up on it.
guessing one card after that many times he was bound to get one right eventually. As for nph we actually don't know the extent of his powers maybe he used Rico to corner the brain bug they were on the planet exclusively to find it
it just seems like they made it deliberately ambiguous. Either way to believe that NPH has advanced from suggestive abilities being able to influence a ferret to being able to communicate to not only a person, but to somebody underground from orbit, just seems a bit extreme.
"Reiko, you asked for my advice, here's some now; Never pass up a good thing"
This film is awesome.
Jord literally means "earth" in my language. A weird name for a watch. A farm equipment would've been better choice for it.
That said, I friggin love Starship Troopers.
Well it is a watch made of wood, so it actually does kind of make sense...
Power rangers lost galaxy took the uniforms from starship troopers trust me its true look up starship trooper uniform then look up the power rangers soldier uniform
In the Firefly tv series the alliance soldiers have the same uniforms.
Dina Myer was truly stunning in this great flick.
eh
great video James. love the aesthetic !
I would love to see a Board James season 4 with ALL of the people featured in these videos.
Silvermania teaming up with Cinemassacre is the best thing that's happened to the internet since "Myspace Glitter Hell".
Starship Troopers is one of my absolute favourite movies ever, so I was very happy to see an episode dedicated to it! Great episode, though I must say I was disappointed that you didnt analyze the joined showers for the soldiers in the movie anymore, but instead made it about the boobs you have seen in movies. But yeah, great episode :D
How much for a membership? And how much do you charge for late fees?
20 dollars a month.
the movie is satire, a parody of the book.
The book has strong pro-military bias to the point of being obtuse.
The movie is meant to show the book for what it is while still telling the story.
kinda brilliant, imo.
I prefer the satire to the deliberate propaganda pushed by the book, as was Heiblein's penchant with most of his works. Dude was a bootlicking partisan hack.
@@NobleNomad As well as an apologist for incest , and at least tacitly approving of sex with minors.
The original RED DAWN please
11:50 It's also got SAVED BY THE BELL. Patrick Muldoon (Jeff, from Saved by the Bell) was Johnny's arch-rival and he stole Carmen the same way he stole Kelly!
Tell Stanley Kubrick Jr. It's totally cool to go to movies by yourself! 17:06 ;)
Thank you
Stanley Kubrick was a very handsome young man.
Im from buenos aires for real and this movie was amazing even tho we got killed in it
lol
Rip in future
I actually read the book when I saw the trailer, and then was disappointed in the movie. Buuuuut, the Boobs were great. & The Campy stuff was fun. Funnily enough, even as a kid, I missed the philosophy almost as much as the Suits. Evidently the Director hated the philosophy and refused to read the book, which explains a lot. And the Book's philosophy is largely based on an ethical retrospective of history. The maker of the movie didn't like history, or the ethics, so it wasn't in the movie. It was intentional to twist the philosophy into a Nazi thing, which is never was anything close to in the book. The director didn't believe in the glorification or honorifics of the military and didn't see the difference between a Fascist State and a Citizen-Army State (which would have been more like, say, Republican Rome, which inverted the relationship: In Starship troopers, you had to be a veteran to be a Citizen. In Republican Rome, you had to be a citizen (and propertied) to be in the Army)
Imperial Rome, however, saw a military system where soldiers of the _Auxiliarii_ (support forces for the actual legions recruited among allied nations) were granted hereditary Roman citizenship after 20 years of service, while _legionarii_ veterans were given a plot of land. One such veteran was apostle Paul's father, from whom he inherited his citizenship.
I love this new series you guys. Great stuff
Wow such a great discussion on Starship Troopers I also worshiped this movie as a kid. I need to rewatch it now after your guys talk. Never thought it could of been so deep as a kid.
That subtle Deus Ex "I never asked for this..." made me laugh 20:12
Im from Buenos Aires, most people here are white. Not german white, but white hahaha...
Yeah, I fucked up. Truth be told, I didn't know Buenos Aires was in Argentina until after we shot this and then instantly knew I'd be catching flak for saying that.
KIER-TOONS There's lots of blondes, Casper Van Dien totally could be an argentinian, is not super common though.
@@Juanirva Ironically, Heinlein's Juan 'Johnny' Rico is of Filipino descent.
Yairo Martis - And that's why this movie either deserves a remake. Actually I say make it a Netflix or Amazon series.
Came to say this
Can you review a movie for mom & dad? >wink
Deepthrot and it is not a documentary about watergate ;)
Funny thing, there a recent movie called "Mom & Dad". It's a horror comedy with Nicholas Cage. lol
Check The Cinema Snob, he does that shit all the time.
Jord? Is that a Scandinavian company? He pronounces it kinda weird but mostly correct. The word means earth/soil/dirt.
I used to be an adventurer like you, then i took an arrow to the knee
Lennord Hotstepper Back to 2011 with you!
i thought james was saying "yooooo" to fit in the typical 90s hip advertising lol
hard to think some ppl didn't get the tone of this movie right ... maybe it's because i'm from the EU , but nonetheless this director is a Genius, and most of his work will never age imho . this movie still looks awesome and it's more than 20 years old...
Do not stop making these please!
4:58 "Issac, uh, Asimov or whatever..." really? lol
lasarousi true. but that doesnt mean u shouldnt know where the material comes from.
Why were all the 90s action movies so good?
Simple time, didn't try to be TOO real
Just gave a reason, gave the action, created a world.
Now we want too much reslism.....which normal people read books and watch movies to AVOID
Cause we were kids back them
Because the human race is too "cultured" and "intelligent" and "mature" so movies that aren't art trash don't do so well. Also because people are pussies now who get offended by every little thing.
VHS direct to rental movies were bad. Studios like Tromo and Full Moon would make one movie then do 5 sequels.
Argentinians are predominantly of European descent. 85% of the population in Argentina is of full European ancestry, a higher percentage than in the US, which is 77% by the way.
Eli Malinsky who cares
@@leonardoflorentin all four of them didn't have a clue about the people of Argentina and just assumed they were all mestizos or amerindians.
@@elimalinsky7069 Honestly , I thought the same. I would not have known any different. I don't think I've ever seen anything about Argentina in the news or entertainment, sadly.
@@adgato75 if you were brought up in a Spanish-speaking culture then for you Argentina would be everywhere in popular media. A huge amount of well known films, music, TV, novels and other types of media come out of Argentina, but these are only mostly known to other Spanish-speakers around the world, and mostly to those who live in majority Spanish-speaking countries.
James, give us your thoughts on the cult classic Mars Attacks! A homage of B movies from the 50s-60s, sounds up your alley!
No Watches James, we want to buy the Swordquests' The Sword of Ultimate Sorcery, Talisman of Penultimate Truth, Chalice of Light, Crown of Life and/or Philosopher’s Stone. Make it happen!
