[color=#000000ost_uid0]You know that reminds me of a b&w 50's SF film (that annoyingly I can't remember the name of) involving super intelligent thingies from Earth's far past when giant bugs ruled the planet. They then take over this town by using people as hosts and controlling them via tendrils leading into the brain. I'm fairly sure there was a modern re-make that of course was frelling awful.

But back to [iost_uid0]Starship Troopers[/iost_uid0] - it was obviously not supposed to be taken seriously, as shown by my favorite scene where (during a battle) some of the characters meet up after killing various bugs and some of them are covered in green goo and the reast are covered in orange goo. And I agree with sax - those brain bugs were pretty icky ([OBSCURE REFERENCE] and more than a little bit Ann Rice [/OBSCURE REFERENCE])[/colorost_uid0]
