    Anyone see the movie THEY LIVE?
    
    It was so much better than the previews suggested.
    
    A satire on American life. Go see it.

    It focus's directly on America today, but Satire is on us.
    The people, because without the benifit of Alien signals
    we are as described in the movie. Or is that simple Advertisment
    uncovered!

    i enjoyed it since i really expected rowdy roddy piper to make a
    complete ass of himself, he did a good job of acting, a nice b flick.

    i think john carpenter was having some fun also, the last 2 scences
    of the film when piper destroyed the tv signal that made the aliens
    look human.  there was a tv commentator putting down directors who
    show too much sex in their films.  he mentioned carpenter's name,
    the very next scence a human woman was mounted on an alien while
    watching the commentor on tv, the tv signal that made them look human 
    went off and she saw what her partner in lust really looked like!
    talk about cotus interuptus!
