Cussing & Discussing Robert Heinlein's Works

[Nathon_88]

Have to add my 2cents about Troopers as well.....those scenes mentioned were very true to the book, but the rest was such a disappointment the first time I saw the movie. I especially hated when they killed his father off....them meeting at the end of the book was a great ending and it not use it was disappointing. But then I watched the movie again, and looking at it as a non-RAH story, I enjoyed it.

Ja da.....You have to take the good with the bad, I suppose.

NOT GUILTY

Cum on girls... What's with all this "male bashing". Are you looking to get your sweet little bottoms warmed up with a good spanking??? (Sans panties of course since Kahn-e doesn't wear any)

Sly

I am NOT involved in Male Bashing! Just having a little harmless, humorous fun.

I'd never make it as a Male Basher. They have something I LIKE far too well for that!

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't spank me. A good spanking can indeed warm up the bootom (and more) on a cold winter's evening.

 

[KHAN-E]

Besides I thought this thread was to "Cuss and Discuss" our good friend Heinlein - not to "cuss" the guys...

SlyFox

I AM discussing Heinlein! But in a more apllicable and relevant way, rather than the philosophical and theoretical way of many posters her. Heinlein liked his women feisty. So I am BEING feisty. It is perfectly appropriate for the thread.

But I will try to STICK to the topic at HAND! No promises.

Ja da.....You have to take the good with the bad, I suppose.

But they totally omitted the coolest tech part of the book--the battlesuits! I'm sure that the SFX to include those would have been prohibitively expensive--but what's the point of the movie without them?

I know Kahn-e (and Kayte)... I was just kidding back. You should never take me seriously - especially when I'm "spanking" your cute little bottom... I could probably throw out some "blond" jokes but I don't know if you're blond - top or bottom. And it is damn cold here so a little "bottom smacking" (and rubbing to make it feel better) would certainly be in order.

Oh, I DO love "feisty" women (that's one of the reason I married one. . That's probably one of the things I like best about RAH's books... And Ann McCaffry, Lois McMaster Bujold, Marion Zimmer Bradley and others - LOVE those Irish women - again, I married one

So, Darlin', as far as I'm concerned you can be as fiesty as you want... 'Course that doesn't mean that I wont want to "spank your butt" occassionally if you get too fiesty...

I definitely agree with you about the battlesuits, Roman. And you're right about the expense according to some of the background stuff I read about making the movie. They really tried but just couldn't get a "realistic" facsimile under the budget they were working under. I think they probably could with today's technology though. Hell if they can actually make a very realistic dinosaur, a battlesuit should be a walk in the park for "The Dream Works" and Speilberg, et. al. - Never mind the "monsters" in LOTR...

OK Connie, bend over and pull your dress up. I'm going to spank you now to keep that hellion personality of yours in line!

Ah, just give it to George Lucas....He'll put his personal army of midgets in suits, and, voila! ILM time.

Re: Re: Tits at Schools

And what was your state-sponsered punishment for your tits exposure?

I didn't say I got caught!!

Well, I did! Twice!! But both my male English teacher, and my female gym teacher seemed to enjoy what they saw!!

 

[KHAN-E]

I thought the film, "Starship Troopers" was "Fair". It did retain some elements of Heinlein, the Master, but seemed to mainly exploit computerized special effects.

As a special effects film, it was good. And it did have a plot, which puts it above the "new" Star Wars series. I refer to them as thousands of dazzling special effects in search of a plot!

I LUVED the shower scene!!! For more reasons than its truthfullness to Heinlein.

Heinlein's Aphorisms

Responses to the thread have kind of slowed to a halt so I thought I'd give it a boost and maybe re-stimulate some new interest. Each day (or as often as I can) I'll post one or more of RAH's many aphorisms (a concise statement of principle - Websters Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition). I have come across these homilys throughout Heinlein's writings but an almamagtion of them are included in the "Intermission Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazerous Long segment from “Time Enough For Love” by Robert A. Heinlein © 1973. All rights reserved.

"Always store beer in a dark place"

"By the data to date, there is only one animal in the Galaxy dangerous to man - man himself. So he must supply his own indispensable competition. He has no enemy to help him."

"Men are more sentimental than women. It blurs their thinking."

Comments and/or arguments appreciated...

We may someday encounter a greater threat to mankind than mankind itself, but I doubt it. We are our own worst enemy, as has been proven by our genocidal history. It is a wonder the species survives. I guess that just proves we are tough and resilient.

And if we come across someone or something worse, that toughness, adaptability and resilence will help us survive.

*chuckles*

If anything could defeat mankind, I'd hate to see it.

Not only that, I want to enable individuals to be able to change themselves into anything they want to be. Angels, merimaids, elfs, and so forth. I really believe that in our part of space at least, the only aliens we will meet would be our children species as man changes to adapt to different worlds. One of my favorite idea for a space settlement would be taking a large asteroid and terraformed it into a garden world and named it "Middle-earth" and people it with men who want to be elfs, men, hobbits thanks to private genetic enginnering.

Isn't that Tolkein, rather than Heinlein?!

Maybe it's time for ANOTHER THREAD!?!?!?

 

[SlyFox]

Tolkein???

Isn't that Tolkein, rather than Heinlein?!

Hmmmm... Sounds like a combination of Tolkein, Heinlein and Gregory Benford in The Artifact, although if I remember right, the Artifact was populated by ghosts or something. But "elves, hobbits and men" might be more interesting than "ghosts" - and let's not forget the dwarves...

Maybe it's time for ANOTHER THREAD!?!?!?

Oh, NO... NOT another thread!!! I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with the ones we've got running now...

And here are today's RAH "homilies": **

"Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win."

(That's what my tells me every time I plan our retirement on winning the "Power Ball lottery )

"Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent"

(Truer words were never spoke! - This from a former "Nudist, Sex Therapist, Minister" - my wife's description of some of my many previous "occupations"... )

"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it."

(Good advice for the anti space exploration "experts"...)

Middle-earth

Isn't that Tolkein, rather than Heinlein?!

It IS Tolkein but what I am saying is that space settlements do not have to be all people in silver jumpsuit. In fact I think that space settlement can enable people to become what they really want to be with their own culture. God know there's anough Vuclans on earth as is! So I wnat to provide them a service to geneticaly change the structure of their ears and eyebrows and enable them to create their own colony that they can call Vuclan. Think of tourism money! If people have a lot of choice where to go, it would encourage more of them to actually get off this little mudball!

Think Differently!

 

[KHAN-E]

Can I lead an interplanetary settlement of beautiful, sexy, and very sexual Amazons? (Except we would all have BOTH breasts! And we wouldn't use bows and arrows.)

Or maybe a Matriachal society, women in charge of EVERYTHING. Men as servants and playthings. (Actually, I think that would get boring after a while. But some women would LUV it!)

I LUV men too much to go for a Lesbos or Sapho society, but they'd be nice places to visit.

I might like to be an elf. Especially if I looked like Liv Tyler (even though her character is NOT in the books!!!).

Speaking of "Amazons" (the two breasted ones ) did you catch last night's premier of this season's Survivor??? Talk about Amazons... Those girls kicked the guy's collective asses... I'd join their tribe any day...

Today's edition of Heinlein's sayings:**

"Get a shot off fast. This upsets him long enough to let you make your second shot perfect.

There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it?

If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion
