Grand defense for Heinlein. What's Verhoven's excuse? It's obvious the
man uses women as objects. We saw it in TOTAL RECALL with the
three-breasted hooker, we saw it in SHOWGIRLS and BASIC INSTINCT.
The man has an eye for action - I'll readily agree to that. But, given
the chance to update Heinlein to the nineties, he drops it and misses
his chance. Might be the reason why I haven't seen a full one of his
movies since TOTAL RECALL...
