      Thank you for sharing this article. I suppose “Fear City” was very much the backdrop of the Joker (2019) movie ?

    I swear people don’t realize that Robocop and Starship Troopers is satire. Like how do you not see the obvious social commentary

      Starship troopers ain’t satire. There is no better strategic option than send millions of soldiers under equiped into their certain death. I mean they could bomb the planets from orbit, but that wouldn’t be fair to the bugs, would it?

      Because guns and explosions; and Denise Richards and Dina Meyer were hot.

      This was my first thought. Maybe if you’ve only seen either movie as a child, I guess…

                  No, that’s not what this thread is saying. 99% of literacy is comprehension and yours sucks.

                  And you’re calling me stupid

      I don’t know how people don’t realize being robocop would be terrifying and these movies are more akin to horror. Your consciousness trapped in a machine, your body parts stripped away leaving you with nothing but a circulatory system. Castration to the highest degree where your only sense of touch is limited to a few scraps of skin stretched across a metal frame. You’re primal urges to eat drink and breath all suppressed since you’re barely even human. In the new robocop most of your brain has been replaced with a cybernetic brain, you wouldnt even know if you were ever human at all. I’m sorry guys nothing about robocop is appealing.

    Wasn’t this more or less the premise of Chinatown (1974)?

      My favorite adaptation of Chinatown is an 80s noir murder mystery about race relations, municipal development, displacement of minorities and the privatization and subsequent destruction of public infrastructure.

      And it had Bugs Bunny and Mickey mouse!

    Well, in our reality corporate America less directly aids crime and moreso lowers the populations quality of life until crime becomes a viable career path.

      depends on what you consider crime. if we go by actual money stolen through wage theft or unpayed taxes, then corporate America simply is the criminals.
