I really like John Carpenter and most of his films, even some of the films most other people don't enjoy. I do think however that Carpenter reuses his ideas and maybe he's not even doing it consciously but it's VERY apparent in Ghosts of Mars in which he seems to "rip off" a few of his own movies. Now some people might say he's run out of ideas and is just coasting but maybe he doesn't realize his "new" idea isn't exactly new until it's too late. How many people here saw the Masters of Horrors short Carpenter did called Cigarette Burns? I think that may have proved he's still got it. Everybody is fallible and I'm very willing to take a little big of Vampires with my They Live. I'm actually looking forward to The 13th Apostle, hopefully he's got "it" back whether it be passion, drive, or ideas.
