    I’m sorry, I like most of what you said, but I can’t in good conscience upvote someone who thinks the movie was better than the book. It’s a fun movie, but, come on…

      I don’t know which book/movie this is, so I’ll just talk about Jurassic Park instead.

      Timmy didn’t do his part to help Dr Grant and Ellie Sattler hold the door from the raptor as Lex fiddled with “a unix system! I know this!”

      Timmy just danced like he had to pee.

        It’s Starship Troopers. A sci-fi novel that was later adapted into a movie series. Notably the first movie is a parody of the hyper-militaristic, borderline fascist undertones of American style democracy. The book, on the other hand, was popular in the 1960s.
