Verhoeven’s work is going to stand the test of time far longer than any other filmmaker. Not only because he’s the person who understood the stupid evils of America the best but because of his eternal ability to confuse and piss off morons, there’ll never be a shortage of those
If anything exists in 100 years we’ll still have people telling you Robocop is pro-police and Starship Troopers is fascist and I guess that gives me hopr
@BrndnStrssng He's also one of those rare directors who's not afraid to have his cake and eat it too. He can successfully make movies that criticize excess while still reveling in that same excess like Robocop.
@BrndnStrssng Forever one of my favorite tweets.
@BrndnStrssng Most importantly he understood the more squibs the better.
@BrndnStrssng If he had just made Robocop he'd already have a movie that will be talked about in 100 years. But then he went and made Total Recall and Starship Troopers, too. The GOAT.
