Official moments of silence are overrated.

Starship Troopers.  Didn't like it when it came out.  Gave it another try due to the "It's a satire!" fanboys and still don't like it.

I like Starship Troopers but it isn't as good as RoboCop and Total Recall were.  All three have that same Paul Verhoeven satirical style.

Yeah, I just find it quite muddled compared to those other, much better, movies.  Starts off well, but then just deteriorates into "war against bugs."  The other two are paced better, better acted and the social criticism is more consistent throughout.

Hard for my puritan side to not think it's popular resurgence is people figured out there was nudity in it.
