“OMW directly influenced by: Starship Troopers, book AND film; Half-Life; Dan Simmons' Hyperion series; and rather quite a few films with snappy dialogue and a three-act structure BUT SPECIFICALLY Nora Ephron's bits in Sleepless in Seattle where Sam talks about missing his wife.”↗
Don Winslow
“@Sherlock_Homie_ Starship Troopers is a great novel. Lousy movie that was done as camp, but the book is really different and much better.”↗
Alex Jones
“"Your problem is you are actually informed about what the author Robert A. Heinlein said the story was about. It’s about coming of age and the promise and danger of militant enthusiasm. The book is still required reading at West Point."”↗
Clancy Brown
“@theBrianBurgess I have not read anything by John Steakley. I have read Robert Heinlein's book STARSHIP TROOPERS which is the book the movie is based upon. I recommend that one to you and, if you like future-war stories, FOREVER WAR by Joe Haldeman is one of the best.”↗
