I miss Paul Verhoeven's gratuitous violence and visceral filmmaking. He always delivered shock value like no one else in Hollywood.
Why'd he stop making movies?
Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct (which I finally saw a year ago), Showgirls, Starship Troopers, Hollow Man....all awesome.
I think I'm gonna check out some of his early work. Flesh + Blood sounds like a PV film.
