NP Until the End of the World

[Thomas Eckhardt]

Verhoeven "on the low"? But I think I know what you mean...

"Starship Troopers" is still the most subversive film ever produced in 
Hollyood. It always reminds me of Laibach's "Geburt einer Nation":

Not a fan of Wim Wenders' movies, although I do not actively hate them 
like I hate Luc Besson's or Lars von Trier's...
