Movies Watched -- They Live (1988)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

94 minute running time … John Carpenter movie (the guy who made Halloween) … I think Carpenter was an old hippie who hated the Reagan era and yuppies … this stars Rowdy Roddy Piper, a pro wrestler, maybe he thought he’d break into the movies this way … low budget, bad acting, cheapie special effects, weird and ultimately kind of dumb story, some shotgun violence, a strange alleyway pro wrestling-ish fight scene … I guess this is probably a “cult classic” in some quarters, but you can give it a miss. No idea how it ended up in my queue… surely not a David Lehman reco…

- So your name's Holly? - Holly Thompson. That's a pretty name.
