It's killing me to have four pages in front of me like this but what can I do? Anyway, I just got done with They Live! and thinking about starting the short story it was based on. I watched it so I could go as the drifter for Halloween next year and I enjoyed it. It was originally supposed to be a critique of Ronald Reagan and what was being done during his presidency but I think it still holds up. It was funny hearing the guy at the end of the movie mention the year 2025 in the banquet hall. Another thing I thought was funny was a seemingly reused prop from Ghostbusters that had a similar purpose to each other. The Ghostbusters used it to find ghosts while the Ghouls, as they're called in the credits, used it to find our hero in the Cable 54 building. The pacing seemed a little weird but that's probably just because I had the scrubber always on screen from how I was watching it. I wouldn't have thought about it if I hadn't been able to see that.
