Isn't this the same moron who screwed up the movie of Heinlein's “Starship Troopers”??

There has been no movie of Heinlein's book Starship Troopers

If you are referring to the film Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers aka Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine, then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers_(film)

There is a vast divergence between the original book and film. A report in an American Cinematographer article around the same time of film's release states the Heinlein novel was optioned well into the pre-production period of the film, which had a working title of Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine; most of the writing team reportedly were unaware of the novel at the time. According to the DVD commentary, Paul Verhoeven never finished reading the novel, claiming he read through the first few chapters and became both "bored and depressed"[7].

May have been the Red Dawn guy also (slight redemption?).

I am not going to stand near you. (Niven's Law: never throw Sh** at an armed man. Also never stand next to someone throwing Sh** at am armed man)

Red Dawn was John Milius

What makes him different from Verhoeven?
He had nothing to do with Showgirls (lot of Manly Stuff on that list there)
