I had a sudden flashback of being 10 years old with my mom watching TV a sunday afternoon.

The fact that it was beaten by stairs is, as you said, so funny. And so fitting. OR COURSE the new technology dreamed up by some moron CEO would be defeated by something so fucking mundane. If living in this era of Elon Musk has taught us anything, it's that there's nobody stupider, less thoughtful, less lazy, or more arrogant than rich CEOs. Then at the end, when they're trying to use the police strike as an opportunity to get them out there (Ed-209?) and you point out "all you have to do is go down some stairs to get away"; yup, again, so realistic: if a company's profits hinged on selling some new tech that had a fatal flaw, would they fix the fatal flaw or would they pretend it doesn't exist? (Then, a year after release, release a new model with some fixes?)

It reminded you of Starship Troopers: yeah, the director was Verhoeven again. The other movie in his SciFi satire trilogy is Total Recall. Total Recall was initially a book (or short story?) by Philip K Dick called "I'll remember it for you wholesale"; Dick was a pretty foundational scifi/pulp author, also writing stories that became Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), A Scanner Darkly (Into a Scanner Darkly), Minority Report, and Man in the High Castle. His style also pretty clearly influenced the show Black Mirror, so much so that when Amazon tried to make their own Black Mirror, they bought the rights to (some of?) Dick's work and called it "Electric Dreams". On a scale of 0-10, I'd put the concepts and philosophical bent of Dick's works at around an 8 or a 9, just incredibly interesting and thoughtful and thought-provoking. But as far as the writing goes? About a 2 or 3. Just... a terrible author, getting through his books is a chore. I've gotten through a few and enjoyed the ideas, it was just a bit of a slog to get through the actual writing. So... you haven't even seen Total Recall yet (as far as I know), so maybe you're not yet curious (but maybe you have seen something of the other works/adaptations I mentioned), but if you are, now or later, I'd recommend checking out the Philip K Dick Clif Notes, wikipedia that shit, even a deep dive, maybe a youtube essay on him... but reading the actual books? I wouldn't recommend it. (If something grabbed you enough to be curious and want to read it, I wouldn't discourage you. I'd just warn you that it will probably be a bit of a slog to get through it. Whether or not that's worth it... maybe?)

Just re-watched season 5 of Dexter (one of the best seasons of any show ever) and this dude is so fucking good as the heroic Robocop... and also the remarkably sleazy Liddy. What range

If it's any consolation, some of the other reactors also didn't make the connection about how the guy at the gas station recognized that RoboCop was the same cop they killed via the "dead or alive, you're coming with me" line The actor playing Clarence (the gang leader) eventually married the actress playing Dick Jones' secretary (the one he tells can keep the gum
