That being said, Piper was awesome and did a pretty good job considering he's not a trained actor. JC wisely used his physicality and played that up.<br /><br />This is one of those films that I never tire of watching. It is so much fun.<br /><br />Thanks again for contributing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-45024717965652183492010-10-04T10:51:54.747-07:002010-10-04T10:51:54.747-07:00Great post regarding this underrated (but fast-ris...Great post regarding this underrated (but fast-rising) Carpenter film, Bryce. I very much agree with you that Carpenter (or any other quick-witted director) wouldn't be granted permission (or money) to make such a film today. At least through any of mainstream studios, that is. I enjoyed this immensely.

The fight,Meg Foster's scary, scary eyes, even the end. I love They Live, and probably catch it about 3 or 4 times a year on late-night cable. Thinking about what you've written about the modern-day parrallels, we could use a few Rowdy Roddy's--but they'd probably get arrested and neutralized pretty fast...AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084216883655540363noreply@blogger.com
