Sad news and wow, what a great great movie.
Walt - Thanks for the mention of the movie pissing off some higher ups. When I watched it I wondered about the clear overlays to society. Very strong message in the movie regarding TV, Consuming, working, etc. It is no wonder it went from number one to... and it's gone! If anyone has not seen that movie, WATCH IT! It is extremely enjoyable and takes you back a bit... Great guy, he will be missed. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

Haha, great movie -
Didn't they fight for like 25 minutes in a street alley because the dude would just not put on the sunglasses? Actually I think the creators of the video game Deus Ex ( who later made Bioshock IIRC) said that They Live was one of many influences on the game. |

I bet Carpenter was a big fan of The Twilight Zone when he made this movie. Those social issues are definitely prevalent in the world today

I remember watching Piper back in the late 70s, early 80s. Was a great villain, first tate trash talker during interviews. Loved watching Gordon Solie interviewing him. I never get tired of watching "They Live". Carpenter said in so many words that the film was about greed, not an indictment of capitalism. I doubt an A list star could have made the film as fun as Piper did. BTW, the bluray of "They Live" looks really good. You can tell as soon as you see the red train at the start of the film. |

He was one of my favorite Wrestlers. Mostly because of his character, who I loved to hate. My earliest memories are of Chief Jay Strongbow and Bob Bachlund when I was young. A lot of people forget the early days before the big money. Roddy was a classic wrestling personality. Sad to see he's gone.
