How is it that there are not more threads on this???

They just don't make movies like CtB anymore. I could go in any direction, but since no one has mentioned the sets:

The Hoffman lenses in They Live are a metaphor for LSD. (Albert Hoffman first synthesized LSD). So they're psychedelic, a cross between science and magic.

This guy is at his ass kicking best…
When he is kicking English ass.

Then where does "Meh" lie on the rating system?

DVR cut off
"He's trying to stay as far as possible from the person he's going to spend the rest of his life with. And it's like your grandparents when your grandmother————-"

Best line:
While Faye is attempting to handle the highly explosive, touch-sensitive material, VT blasts heavy metal on the radio and casually says to her:

Well, we are only, what, 20-30 years removed from Polish jokes being the height of comedic stylings?

Wow, remember when environmentalism was really mainstream in the early 90s? I remember having a straight-laced elementary school teacher discussing the pros and cons of tree-spiking.

Biker Mice from Mars… was surprisingly badass!

The wassup was from season 1 ep 1. Maybe the only thing the American remake of that episode had over the Brit's is when Michael and Dwight and unenthusiastically Jim, was Jim, after regretfully joining in the dated, over the top greetings, said something to the effect of "Isn't that from 1997?

Two major reasons for Spike fighting PLF again: His character's pride. Like he would have ever lived down in his own mind, a serious ass whooping at the feet of a deranged clown.

That's what I tell everyone who hasn't seen the series yet (besides watching it subbed): If you aren't sold by Ep. 5, this isn't the show for you.

The use of "Powder" in CB the Movie amazingly captures the surreal and haunting that is Vincent and his damn butterflies. Chills.

You know what makes those lines corny? Hearing it in English!

@ vandermonde: Yeah, I kinda convinced myself halfway through writing it. Though I missed quick cuts of tobacco pipes cherrying, slamming the flagon of rum down, and ALWAYS finishing the sequence with a close-up of Hancock's swatter smashing a fly with a resounding swat.

Ah, that reminds me of my junior high English class, watching Johnny Tremain.

Yeah, I found that comment odd too. This was made in '72; there wasn't a whole lot of movies that had moving flowing camera work.

Keep the window shut; motherfucking flies and whatnot!
