This one line:

failing to regain his mojo with Starship Troopers (which, while awesome, hardly scored at the box office)

... makes the whole article suspect.

I don't know... I think that Starship Troopers is a fun, bad movie (the sequels got worse and worse, without the fun), but the only things they had in common with the RAH novell was some names and the title. I've heard that Verhoven admitted that he never finished reading the book! And I heard that RAH's widow, Virginia, tried to get his name off of the movie.

If you don't compare it to the great book, it was a terrific, fun, bad movie to watch. But then, I'm also a big Dina Meyer fan, Denise Richards... Not so much.
