Book" (2006)cost $21 million and grossed $26 million worldwide..."Starship
Troopers" (1997) cost $105 million and grossed $121 million.

That's a bit of a different assertion. ;) He has made successful films but they
aren't my cup of tea either.
His work after Showgirls isn't anywhere as good as stuff you mentioned or his

that point.

I know "Black Book" was critically acclaimed (I still haven't seen it) but
"Starship Troopers" is a hot mess. I still assert Verhoeven hasn't done
anything post-Showgirls to rival his work pre-Showgirls.

Rave,
Verhoeven did Starship Troopers and Black Book post-Showgirls. Starshp Troopers
isn't a fave but it was well received and Black Book was critically acclaimed.
Unfortunately he also squeezed Hollow Man in there too.

No they're right. The original pilot was never aired and neither was the final
episode. It was only available on the dvd release. It featured a glimpse into a
post-apocalyptic future and the role that the dollhouses had in screwing up the
world.

The finale was aired. The original pilot which Whedon had to reshoot was not
aired. It's a very fun show with a lot of what makes Whedon great shining

Yeah, only SciFi Channel and stuff like "20/20" and "Dateline" thrive on
