Heinlein
Robert Anton Heinlein was one of Science Fiction’s grand masters. He wrote, amongst other things, Starship Troopers (although it bears very little in common with the film) and The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, which is currently being developed for television by Tim Minear. Fanfuckingtastic work. My favourite being “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls”, but his most famous probably being “Stranger in a Strange Land”. Which gave birth to the concept of Grok

Milton Keynes
Godforsaken place that has no relevance to the existance of human life, except for the fact it is there. No one likes it, but people actually live there. Now you know hwere the Bogeyman comes from.

Boredom and dullness encapsulated in town form; the exact kind of place you don’t want to grow up in but you’d love to retire to.

Showgirls
Fantastic comedy about strippers and their life in the hellhole of Las Vegas. (Play the Showgirls drinking game by drinking every time Gina Gershon says Darlin’ – it’s a great way to get very very drunk.) Pure trash as only the wonderful Paul Verhoeven can do it.
