The Movie 'They Live'?

 One of my top ten science fiction movies ever....'They Live'.  I've probably watched it at least four times, and if I'm ever channel-flipping at some hotel, and it comes on....I pause and watch the movie.

Stupid text?  Yeah, but you end up with wrestler Roddy Piper doing a 3-star job, and it's almost believable.  

Getting some movie like this produced today?  I don't think society would be able to handle it.  Too many things going on and they'd be convinced that life is all a CIA-run experiment.

Totally agree, great Sci-Fi movie. It's spawned many of today's meme's.

Sure.
You can count on us.
Bless you and all the bone-heads in your little documentary.
