I wasn’t! I promise you I was 100% serious, it’s one of my fav sci-fi movies… somewhere a few steps down the list from blade runner

It mocks itself more than enough. It needs no help from me.

Mocking itself was its whole point.

It _appears_ to mock itself, so it wouldn't be blamed for fascist's propaganda while being essentially a recrutement tool for US military.

Maybe you don't know very much about Paul Verhoeven.

What are you trying to say? I saw his films. Why should I know anything about a director to make a judgement on the film I watched. It looks like you are trying to pool one fallacy or another failing to address the points in my comment directly (it says in their favor).

Paul Verhoeven does not and would never intend for his film to recruit for the US military.

Then why are you mocking it if it needs no help?
