They Live
 
does anybody remember 'They Live' I remember bits and pieces, but I remember it's about a guy who finds a pair of special sunglasses that lets him see who around him are aliens, that have taken over earth.

i also remember the line, which I first heard in Duke Nukem 3D

'i'm here to kick ass and chew gum and i'm all out of gum!'


I remember thinking this movie was awesome, although now i'm sure it'll be pretty cheesy

I just saw this on AMC or something. LOVED IT! It's really just plain cool. Cool effects for its time, and a nice story.

... I don't know but I am pretty serious, I think it’s the movie I have watched most ... Im not saying its Citizen Kane or anything …
... But I think its the best B type movie in the last two decades ... Carpenter is a master of the B/cult movie, he mixes fun, action, horror and sci -fi with some serious social commentary …

ill give you that but to me caranter is black/white either it awsome or it sucks.

I think he's been pretty consistent in his career and he's made the movies he wanted to make which is good...
... The movie I like least is Halloween ... but the music he did is spot on!
I don’t think there’s another modern American director who comes close in the fields he works in!

Watch "They Live" again, its a very clever film that has a lot to say and yet looks so cheesy ... I think its great the way he makes a social point without ramming it down your throat ... Romero was good at that as well, its horror, but is has a point!!
