Once again, Starship Troopers seems strangely prescient:

178EXT PLANET P - A COMPANY BASE CAMP - JOHNNY

and the others enter A Company's perimeter. No one notices their arrival

because everyone's gathered in a big circle watching the Brain Bug.

CARMEN Look... they got it.

Several of its delicate legs were apparently broken during the capture.

Carl approaches it without fear, puts his hand on the thing.

GENERAL What's it thinking, Colonel ?

Carl smiles in a cruel way.

CARL It's afraid.

Cheers and shouts from the crowd.
