They Live! They really do.



I saw THEY LIVE this weekend. Apparently it's a long-treasured, cult classic B movie, its 5-minute plus long fight scene (hilarious) highly youtube-able, wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper in the lead (ok?), written and directed by the man who brought you Halloween, John Carpenter. Well, I didn't know any of this. I just knew P was hopping up and down from excitement when it arrived in the mail courtesy of Netflix. Do the smart thing and get your hands on a copy of it. Or just watch it right now here. (Crazy internet.) You won't be sorry. It's so brilliant. OK, it's not for everybody and I do get alarmingly hyperbolic about things I like sometimes. Whatever. It's still brilliant.

Pudgie is the proud owner of this movie. Buy buy baby. Uh, what? Time for Fancy Feast! And no offense, Joven, but isn't it kind of ironic that you're asking someone to "be a follower" in a post about THEY LIVE?

OMG - just last month I bought a four-movie set of John Carpenter movies - THE THING, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, and THEY LIVE. I haven't watched THEY LIVE yet, but I will tonight. I feel ever more strongly the interconnectedness of all things, especially me and Jocelyn M. (By the way - whenever I leave comments on a blog, I start with "OMG.")
