Starship Troopers 3: my review

The Most Bizarre Movie Ever

Okay, so not even is the name "God" flippantly used throughout the entire film, missionary dating encouraged, Christians represented by a dimwit who keeps repeating the Lord's Prayer and this handicapped guy who keeps using the F-bomb, but, in the final propaganda piece, God is called a Citizen of the Federation... WHAT?!

Well, at least they shoot giant space bu... wait, wait, what the hell was that? God a citizen of the who now...?

Christians shouldn't make movies. Ever. Look at Mel "Mellow Yellow" Gibson.

Yes, that's right. I made up a random celebrity nickname. Come and get me, Hollywood.

1) That is an idiotic statement.

2) ST3 is NOT a Christian movie. It may have been trying to appeal to Catholics, but it is certainly not Christian in any way whatsoever.

Well, actually, non-christians typically label all jesus-jumpers as christian, regardless of the minor differences.
But, I stand by what I said. Most christian, catholic, whatever movies have real cringer bits in them where everything is about magic, logic and rationality completely fly out the window.
Alright when the main premise of a movie is fantasy; a little extra does no harm. But when they try to mix god and science, things get weird.

Like I Am Legend, or any movie that mentions a god, god talks to people, god saves the day.
A lot of Stephen King movies, obviously made from his books, I know, are irritating in that way. He's seriously christian; and his books are unreadable, the movies unwatchable because of that. Too predicable, boring, and easy.

Religion just makes for bad stories. Religous minds can't help but add what they believe to be real into the fiction - which makes it more unbelievable, if that makes sense. I, for one, am sick of movies with "god" scenes, praying, talking to sky people...
It just makes so very little sense...

You do realize that a lot of what you just said is incendiary?

Of course, but I've had bad experiences with religous types. Very violent... very... stubborn, aggressive. Much like me; but I hate myself.

Besides, I'm right. Not just because I say I am, but because I'm the guy with the evidence.

I don't like religous people - never have, never will, I just plainly do not trust them. Every time I've known one, they've disappointed me. I simply cannot trust nor like someone who voluntarily gives away their free will, and follows only the rules and instructions of archaic text and doctrines.

I really hate the fact that contemporary media is dominated by religous people: But, as movies are largely American or British, both very religious nations, that cannot be helped.

What the heck? That's not reality in the least.

Of course it is! Television is loaded with shows containing religious notions; if you are used to that culture, you don't notice. If that culture is particularly offensive in it's nature as apparent to you, than you do notice.
Almost every show has some mention of religion in it, whether representing religion as a given, or a "proper moral choice". It's normal and natural for these people; grossly offensive to those who do not share their beliefs. It's perhaps one of the more ignorant things religious people can do, and it's simply a numbers thing.

I suppose you watch TBN and complain to them often.

Bruce almighty was an alright religous movie, well I would say that in australia religion, media and government are verymuch disconected compared to America. I was kind of looking forward to the third instalment as the first was cool but the third basicaly drooled (ha ha me ryhm) I am not happy if this flopped as that would mean that tough chance on the franchise being good again.

What the heck is a TBN?

Bruce Almighty was good; and it was christian, but openly so. Not with... insinuated, hidden christianity bits. Just the little bits of an extreme culture get irritating, more because of how it is represented as being real.
Bruce Almighty was openely fiction, plainly so. It wasn't a serious movie or show where characters opted for ancient doctrine as moral highground.

Religious. There is an "i" after the "g". Both of you make the same spelling error? Or is this just some sort of Australian spelling?

That's what we call a "typo".

Religious people...my main problem with them is i find them
very hard to trust. Met too many that just hide behind religion
while they act like total bastards. And every week a new priest
or something gets caught while beeing a little to close to kids.
Its an trust issue for me, they can belive what they want and
prey to what they want, ok by me, but is so hard to trust any
of them because of all the crap that happens around alot of them.
Too many hide behind god, and if they do something bad, they
have the answer ready; "satan made me do it!" no responsibillity
whatsoever, many just push the blame on to something else so
they dont have to pay for it, disscusting.

Many years ago i had the "children of god" cult as my neighbours.
They came, stayed for two months and then they got chased out
of the village by the others. Why? because it turned out they had
a special "chapter" in their rules. When an adult was alone with a kid,
the rules was, he/she could do whatever he/she wanted! W T F!! !! !! !!
Hope i never see any of those scumsucking bastards again. Their
not welcome here anymore, thats for damn sure!! I went up there
a few days after they came and looked around, after 5 minutes i was
100% sure something bad was going on there, and how right i was.
But of course, it was not a bad thing to them, it was perfectly ok
and a "right" they had... they are lucky they survived their
visit to this place, that is the one thing no one around here tolerates.

So, whenever i hear someone say "i belive in god/im christian" i automatically
think; "oh great..wonder what you are hiding then.." In my eyes, religion
is the one thing that is to blame the most when it comes to crap happening.
And it will take a miracle for me to change my mind on that. I`v just seen
way way to much crap happening because of religion, crap that did not have
to happen. People need to take responsibillity instead of putting their lives
into something thats not even visibel. "Oh no, it wasn`t me, satan made me
do it" Yeah Right! i dont belive you, never will. You lie.

Well it is not such a large problem in Australia, my mothers side are all church goers but I dont think that it comes up much on news or in government debates. We have two garunteed rights in Australia 1.the right to vote 2.the right to have a religion, and no one cares about what religion you are unless you try to shove it down others. But cults that shove it down people have been a thing that news programs are pointing at recently, but mostly how people are not alowed to see loved ones. You have to see how the chasers make fun of scientoligy, I have seen where they trick them into saying that there own beliefs are a bit crazy, but they do that to all religions. I dont know how we got the hype that there was about world youth day, but we did get tshirts that said "I was touched by the Pope down under" lol.
