Wisdom is when you can parse satire

Love it. It’s the only film I know of that satirizes its own source material!

Oh good call! All parodies would actually fit.

What I wrote wasn’t exactly what I meant though! What I meant was that Starship Troopers the film is an adaptation of a book that satirizes the book rather than being faithful! It’s the only film adaptation that I know of that does this!
