Dear John Carpenter,

Why? This sucks!  Who can deliver better than Roddy? Nobody, that’s who.  And tell me, will there still be a 5 1/2 minute fight scene? I hope so.

You’re still my favorite though…just don’t mess with “The Thing”.

“John Carpenter’s They Live in one of the finer B-movies of the 1980s. The story of a construction worker named Nada who finds a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the alien creatures who plan to invade Earth, it features all the prerequisites necessary for a film to be considered a cult classic.

• It stars professional wrestler (and Canadian!) “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

• It has one of the coolest movie posters, ever.

• It’s directed by John Carpenter, the man behind Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China, Halloween and The Thing.

• It features the eternal line: “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”"
