And welcome to our exclusive club of Dune lovers, heee. I generally prefer dark sci fi films as well. I love Star Wars, but gimme Blade Runner or Alien as well!
And yes, Starship Troopers the film is really different from the book. The characters have been changed around (one was turned into a woman, hello BSG) and some of the interesting "society" of the Bugs was lost. Plus, the film is a satire, the book isn't. It's actually rather controversial (the book, I mean), because it's very militaristic. I loved the film as well, it's a great satire (love those government film inserts - "Only a dead bug is a good bug!")
