At a loose end and flicking through the paper I saw that Starship Troopers was on telly so I sat my arse down and watched it. When I saw it in the cinema back in 1997 it scared the shit out of me (parody? Not parody?). Watching it in 2005 it felt like reportage. Maybe 9/11 really did change the world…

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.
Pete Ashton
I think I know what you mean there Pete. i was watching it and in between thinking “i’m sure they’ve cut out a big load of gore there” I was thinking “blimey, i’m sure the satire felt subtle 8 years ago, why does it feel so heavy handed now?” I’m either more attentive now or the world has er… changed.
