I was stricken with the flu this weekend. My girlfriend was nice enough to take care of me. During the down time I watched three movies: Starship Troopers; Clean, Shaven; Fallen Angels.
What is it with Paul Verhoeven that makes me want to violently punch him in the face and then kiss the bloody wound?
