Carmen's just dead on the inside.

As fascists, they're all dead on the inside.

But you do remember the shower scene?

He stuck with her until she died if I remember correctly. It's not like he had a choice outside of finding someone new.

More like "Rico was right to choose Dizzy over Carmen".

... in Carmen's defense, too few people have the integrity to end one relationship before starting another.

Wisdom is when you can parse satire

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!

Both fascists.

Starship Troopers reference!

The best bad sci-fi ever.
