Nyah, nyah, nyah. Told you so, told you so:

It's not particularly shocking that friends of Margaret Thatcher suspect the new Meryl Streep movie of her life might be a "leftwing fantasy." That's about what you'd expect given the opinion Hollywood and the right have of each other. But the reason for the suspicion is interesting:

"Starship Troopers," Paul Verhoeven's movie take on the Robert Heinlein classic, is interesting in the casual way it shows us an advance in communications technology.
