Oh, very cool!

It'd be interesting, if she's EDF, what would happen if she ran into Rabbits from the other side. O_O

Oh, you missed the reference, it's from Starship Troopers.

"I would like to know more!"

BWAHAHAH!! Exactly the right response! A true LOL moment, thanks.

I have a deep-seated love for that novel (reading it again right now, in fact!) As a fan of the novel, i thought the movie was hilarious. Not a re-creation of the book, but "I see what you did there".

Plus the bugs were so pretty! Expecially the shiny green flying bugs. Squeeeeee!

I never saw the movie. I was so annoyed by how much they, ummm, deviated, yeah, deviated from the original story that I decided I never wanted to see it.

Yeah. I did see it. It... irritated me until years later, when I could disassociate it from the book.

Now Roughnecks, on the other hand... that's a good 'un and a fair shake for the book.

I haven't read it in decades, and felt the movie was a stand-alone cartoon with little more than the title in common. But really like the movie as a turn-off-your-brain action cartoon. Saw one of the bugs on display at Worldcon way back when, wow. I felt that they missed an important bit by not trying to make the other specialty bugs match the architecture of the fighters.

Yes! I enjoy it as a sort of rabid cartoon. With bugs!

I do love the mighty bug battle.

I've just ordered the DVD of "Invasion", which is supposedly a direct follow-on from the original movie. It was going for a mighty $1.10 on Ebay!

let me know how it goes

I found it on youtube, or at least a poor copy. Lots of bugs and shooties.

Or she could be set up for riot duty.

Oh. I haven't seen that one ...

The danger of not fully shared pop culture references. There is a whole generation of current stuff that I don't have a clue about, like any Game of Thrones reference.

Yeah, hard to get a joke when you're missing the needed frame-of-reference ...

Superb sketch.

I wish I could colour it.

Needs more power armour and tac nukes.

Rather, 'Let's croak us some Toads!'

'We hunt'n wabbits..' -- oh wait, wrong one. Bugs as in insects, lol, my bad. Blame me being up late or something...

She looks cool here. :)


"Medic!"

Is that Nick in the back there ??

Nick has got the bag of sugar cookies to lure the bugs out of hiding.

"I'M FROM ZOOTOPIA, AND I SAY KILL 'EM ALL!!!!"

*starts acapelling Klendathu Drop*

I still have the "cast and crew" T shirt they gave us for being extras during filming at the pyramid at Long Beach university.
This was for the "Jumpball" game sequence...which is definitely NOT in the book....

They recruited me at Worldcon, as I live in the area. However, they were so short of people to fill the stands with warm bodies that they had to put adds in the local Long Beach newspaper to get more.

I actually got to chat with Casper Van Dien during breaks in filming, because some fannish ladies I was sitting with had made friends with him a few days before.

So every time they got done with a shot, he trotted over and chatted with us for a few minutes.

He showed us his Casper the friendly ghost tattoo, as well.

The set security for the costumes was awful...I could have snuck inside the tented off area and made off with a full uniform if I'd felt like it.

Too bad I'm an honest man.

Still have a hard time understanding why they had full uniforms on site when they weren't filming anything that I ever saw that would actually need them.

They actually had some of the body armor and a helmet on top of a box that I could see from outside the costume storage area...And they definitely weren't filming any action scenes with bugs!


-Badger-

Just when I thought I've finally got that movie out of my head...

It's an ugly planet, a bug planet.

Just had a a LOL thought to that, an insect version of Zootopia.

Not quite a utopia setting, I do know of a few people on FA that have created their own anthro bug type worlds... (not Starship Troopers type bugs mind you)

The producers of Zootopia say the carnivores eat bugs, but they haven't said what kind.

Bugs Bunny.

Better get a bigger roach motel.

The world needs more gun bunnies. You're awesome Steve. *steals art and uses for his Albedo character sheet!*

Now give us more Albedo!!! ;P

(preferably with even more bunnies)

Draw the Drill Sergeant.

DO YOU WANNA HOP FOREVER!

I wonder... would Finnick be the psy-ops dude then? XD

Nah. That'd be Nick.

"So tell me something... Are you afraid of me?"

"THEY'RE AFRAID!"

I could see Finnick as the mean little drill sergeant then. XD

Corporal Hopper reporting for duty Lt. Hopps LoL

"To the everlasting Glory of the Infantry!"

Now I can't help imaging her as part of Cat Shit One.
