In a deeply misguided effort to save the reputation of Hancock, Yglesias compares it to Starship Troopers, which proves that he actually wants everyone to regard it as a horrendous waste of time and an embarrassment for all those involved.  (Starship Troopers was the movie that made me wish that an alien bug race destroyed humanity, simply so that the movie would end and we could be put out of our misery.)  I should say that I once wasted what seemed like an eternity driving from my Southside Virginia college to somewhere in the general Richmond area to go to the movies one night in my first semester away at school.  The movie we saw at the end of our sojourn up, down and around Route 360 was the risible, horrible Starship Troopers.  If Hancock is anything like that, run for the hills!
