| Re: Robert Heinlein: Starship Troopers me? dream of learning how to CGI a few minutes of scenes into the (loosely defined) movie. have been thinking about it over the years, just don't have enough skill in computers (or relevant programs) to pull together what I think would have at least nodded to RAH. The scene I have in mind is where the 'kids" are getting their butts handed to them by the bugs at night, add in several minutes flipping back and forth between the ground troops tripping over their tails and cgi'd insertion of a platoon from orbit (chapter 1 stuff in moving pictures). when casper is alone against bugs, with a holy leg, the part where they hit black fast extend to a TRUE cap trooper using a bug to break some of his momentum, lol, TRUE death from above.... pull back and see the platoon using described heavy infantry weapons to double duty, kill bugs, and make pickup. then fade off to the rest of the movie. might have added a couple million to the bottom line, but would have had about ten times the return from RAH and sci-fi fans seeing someone actually tap SOMETHING straight from a legend, they botched Asimov's three laws, Bicentennial man and a human ordering a robot to help them die?!?!?!?!?!? or in I robot, a robot calculating percentages on who would be likeliest to survive so disregard the person more likely to die?!?!?!? sorry bee in bonnet about Hollywood destroying the pinnacles of legendary author's works. don't even want to list possible horror stories in case someone decided it would be a good thing to run with. sigh, and people wonder why I despise TV, and seem to be snippy on leaving watching movies... |
