I admit a perversion...I liked Starship Troopers.

I love Heinlein, and although the movie's a weird interpretation of the book, I liked it anyway, maybe because they played it so campy....

I also admit to liking the latest attempt at Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...perhaps I grew up watching Attack of the Mushroom People and such movies too many times as a kid....

Attack of the Mushroom People -- I was hoping I wasn't the only one. ;')

Although you have to admit, the movie could have been titled "Ken and Barbie Go To Bootcamp".

A DVD of Attack of the Mushroom People (under the original title, Matango) was finally released, and instead of being campy, I found it to be a very good and creepy film, sort of a cross between Lord of the Flies and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It features some excellent extras, including an interview with one of the FX men.

Jeepers, we seem to have a lot in common. I enjoyed Troopers too, including the quasi-Brucknerian music.
