Saw “Them!” when I was like 6. That was pretty bad.
And then Starship Troopers when I was like 10. That one really got me.
Huh. Never thought about how they’re both bug movies.
I was probably in middle school when I had my first contact with Starship Troopers and that messed with me. My first exposure was the scene of them defending the base on that big filled planet. As someone who doesn't get along with bugs, you can see why I originally hated the film.
Was that the "cat in the bag" movie?
No, it was giant radioactive ants.
But now I am actually not sure if what I saw was Them! or Matinee (which features a film that very well may be based on Them!)
no, no, you're right, them! is the ants one, I was thinking of something else
