Dasha saying that she''s been watching a lot of John Carpenter makes me want her to watch "Prince of Darkness" and the original "Assault on Precinct 13."
If you don't know, Shepherd Fairey formed his entire art style of this ONE movie. He started putting out OBEY stickers all over with all kind of nonsense and "waking" up people. He even did the Obama Hope poster if you know it. Ironically, I think he's kind of part of the machine at this point without knowing it
Hello Dasha!😊 That fight scene between those two guys is considered one of the best choreographed one on one fight scenes in movie history. Great reactions to another fun John Carpenter film, Dasha!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It saddens me that most of today's young people don't know "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.... and I'm all out of bubblegum." A line which I'm told was improvised by Rowdy Roddy Piper which makes it even more awesome.
Frank's violent resistance to putting on the glasses represents the tendency for people to resist seeing the truth. They'll fight to protect their delusions.
I met Meg Foster at a con. Told her that when I was a kid and watched her movies, I always thought she had amazing eyes. She came out from behind the desk and hugged me. I think she was denied roles because they were too distracting.
Now for a different take on Aliens coming to earth, you should watch Alien Nation with James Caan (Sonny Corleone from The Godfather) and Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride)
17:00 - This is actually one of the best fight scenes ever shot, as it was all shot in one take, with no jump-cuts, lasting almost 6 minutes. Classic stuff.
My favorite Dasha quote so far is in the middle of an office gunfight: "You know, this isn't going to look good on her resume . . ". Fun fact: At about 26:33 in this edit, the military guy is talking into one of the Ghostbusters' PKE meters. Much of the big fight was real, since Roddy Piper was a professional wrestler and knew how to take (or fake) punches. They spent weeks rehearsing it in John Carpenter's back yard, and when filming time came around they shot it with three cameras and on wrestling mats painted to look like concrete.That's dedication. Another fun, semi-serious, low budget sci-fi Roddy Piper movie is "Hell Comes to Frogtown".
The prolonged fight scene is a metaphor for how hard people will fight to keep from seeing what they don't want to see. In this case, it's about how society, religion, and economy function to benefit the few.
I love how Carpenter was critiquing Reaganomics 1980s with this film; the rise of Yuppies, the dark side of globalization's economic impacts and the hidden depression that was hitting blue-collar America... A time that many people now look on nostalgically. It really doesn't matter which politics it is, though, being taken over by one selfish "they" is the same as any other... Most people just wanna stay alive - keep walkin' the white line.
They look at it nostalgically because it’s been continually getting worse ever since. John Carpenter’s big mistake was that he projected all the faults in American politics towards one man/party, and I was proud of Roddy Piper for not buying into the same fallacy.
@@hellsunicorn most never realize both sides are one in the same. At that time the democrats controlled either the house or the senate, or maybe both, I can’t remember now. So most of the stuff Reagan got passed could not have happened without the help of a lot of democrats.
The alley fight scene is iconic and has been duplicated and parodied several times, even South Park parodied that scene in one episode. I remember seeing this in the theater and the whole audience let out ows and ohs with some of the more brutal looking punches in this scene. Also, when he first puts on the glasses and sees his first alien (and the audience sees it for the first time) you could hear many in the audience gasp at the look of the alien, then one lady in the back said, 'where the hell are his lips??' getting a laugh from many of us.
The alley fight scene is an effective delineator between men and (most) women viewers. Men tend to have more appreciation for the absurd and exaggerated. Among women, it's usually only the true geeks who also get it.
The alien's designs are based on 50's B-movies. That's also why they can be seen in black & white. The *they* in the title comes from the phrase "that's what *they* say".
Although Piper wasn't a Portland Oregon resident ( My home town from 1974=2008) He was loved there...He was on T.V's "Portland Wrestling" weekly the arena was in my 'hood, so we got to see him and Jesse Ventura quite often..the NW leauge got so popular they were so of the first to be recruited in the WWE. After his career ended he opened up a successful car repair shop in Portland . I'm glad u loved this movie..It may have been a sci-fi film, but the social criticism also helped it win lots of positive critical praise.
"Put glasses on" it´s a metaphor for not physical persuasion of somebody which is very very hard, and you need to put horrendous amount of energy and effort to persuade someone who do not want to see things which are not conforming to his brain. it is easier to physically fight someone than persuade someone.
I was very much into WWF wrestling when I was in high school. Rowdy Roddy Piper was my favorite! Saw this movie in the theater and loved it! Was that a dis on 1988 movies? Lots of great movies back then: Die Hard Rain Man Beetlejuice Akira Big A Fish Called Wanda Coming to America Willow Heathers Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Bloodsport The Vanishing Bull Durham The Great Outdoors
There are a lot of homeless people in America, and the police and government still regularly clear them out of places where they congregate and try to make a home. They try to turn the poor into criminals and enemies of society. They'd rather get rid of them than help them. This movie was made in the 80's but it still has a very relevant message today.
😎👍 When it came to casting the part of Nada, the folks at Universal Studios batted a lot of big names around. Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Kurt Russell, Patrick Swayze etc. 😑 John Carpenter's main stroke of genius was NOT casting an A-list actor in the role, but instead, a Canadian wrestler who would only be known to a limited number of people. It gives the film an ambience of authenticity that it otherwise wouldn't have had. Although Los Angeles is probably the most filmed city in the history of cinema, the Downtown area hasn't really gotten a whole lot of screen time over the decades. This and the Disney film, "Return To Witch Mountain" (1978) are the only two films I can think of off-hand that were mostly filmed in that part of the city.
I would like to HIGHLY recommend that you start watching and reacting to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is a great show, especially starting in season 2. Also, you may already be familiar with the Russian version of the show. I've heard it is pretty different though.
6:05 - Oh, Dasha.... you innocent child..... I live near a "big city" (just on the outskirts), and we have multiple police helicopters patrolling the area 24/7. I'd say at least 5 are in the air at any given moment. 7:20 - Dasha, that is how "propaganda" works. These people (the people in the church) are labeled as "terrorists", or "Commies", when all they are trying to do is get people to realize the truth of what is going on in society. Also, I have seen real homeless camps like the one shown here, and I've seen how accurate this is when the police roll in and drive them out. I was disgusted by the sight. Those makeshift tents contain ALL of their possessions, and you're going to take THAT away from them, too? 17:50 - This fight scene has been paid tribute to, and referenced in a LOT of media over the years. South Park did a near "shot for shot" of it during the "Cripple Fight" scene early in their run. Dasha, you might also be interested in the 1980s television movies simply called, "V", and "V: The Final Battle". There was also a television series that came along afterward by about a year (I want to say '84 or '85) that ran for 1 season. There is a "reboot" that came out in the 2010s, but it wasn't as good as the original.
One of John Carpenters best sci fi movies. Another great movie score too for John Carpenter. Holly was a human snitch for the aliens. If that would have been a real fight to put on the sunglasses Rowdy Roddy Piper who had 34 heavy wrestling championships would have picked him up and body slammed him, and it would have been over.
John Carpenter always knew a way to take the times and put a fantastical spin on them. It's surprising how materialistic we've become even from before. We no longer build things to last, we build things to be consumed and consumed and consumed. As if landfills were infinite and resources unlimited. Only a handful of people choose this way of thinking and, sadly, those people control 90 percent of the world's wealth. With it comes the authority. "They Live" may always speak not only for its time but ours as well. They still live and too many us still sleep.
In the 1980s there was a huge economic shift in America. All the manufacturing and union labor jobs went away, outsourced to foreign countries with cheaper labor, so a lot of middle class people slid into poverty, while large tax cuts led to a boom in the financial sector, with most of those profits going to people who were already very rich. It created this illusion of prosperity, because a handful of people's fortunes were exploding, but sometimes just a twenty minute drive away there were people living like this in shanty towns of shacks and tents. And all the while people were obsessed with the appearance of success and prosperity, competing with their neighbors to see who could get the most expensive car or reservations at the most expensive restaurant. This film was John Carpenter's critique of that era.
The reason foreign labor became cheaper for big business was Government involvement in the market with regulations and controls, as well as manipulation of the dollar. There is no reason why labor should be cheaper elsewhere, naturally. It's a shame that Government was making it cheaper to outsource jobs and manufacturing rather than keeping it home.
@@GetFitwithDogs government regulations like you can't make someone work 12 hours with no breaks in an unventilated wearhouse full of asbestos. Corporate America was making plenty of profit, but somewhere along the line they abandoned any sense of obligation to their employees and communities and saw maximizing profit as their sole responsibility. Blaming it on government is a pretense. It happened because of naked, unrestrained greed.
@@GetFitwithDogs To be clear you are talking about OSHA and the EPA here. Free Market Capitalism is responsive to short term consequences. It often fails to predict long term costs. The Long term cost to pollution and hazardous working conditions lead to a reduction in the value added by labor. The rush out of the United States to exploit cheaper labor was never a long term strategy. As we approach the long term consequences twice now the American taxpayer has footed the bill to bail out these 'too big to fail' special interest groups. Meanwhile the benefits of decentralized market economics has shrunk under the foot of giants incapable of sustaining themselves, and unable to see anything other than profit and loss. Best not to bring your corporatist apologetics to a viewing of an anti-fascist parable.
What a bunch of gobbledygook. There is no "corporatist apologetics", it's pro-Free Market advocacy. The type of control over prices (costs) that you touch on is not possible and will always result in corruption. As Friedrich Hayek once said - and I'll paraphrase - there is an arrogance with some people in which they think they could possess the knowledge to design market outcomes through control. This is impossible because there are more variables than can possibly be known. We live in a time where we have more regulations and government controls than ever before in the USA. This attempt at control has been steadily increasing every decade for 100 years. What is the result? The richest elites have never been richer and have never had possession of more of the market than now. How is it that these corporations have more power and riches NOW than ever before, when we have more Government involvement than ever before? That is because if the Government is going to insert itself into the Market and start placing rules and regulations, who is best situated to lobby those Government entities to hedge those rules to their own benefit? The super rich or the small business owners? Obviously the super rich. They are the ones with the money and position to buy favors or influence that can be used to their advantage. The small business owners do not have that. Therefore the market can be corrupted by this Government influence in ways that makes it harder to be a small business competing in the market against those corporations. That is exactly what we are seeing. What we need is a Separation of State and Economics, just as we have a Separation of State and Church. This will allow the market to work naturally and restore a true market without a big daddy Government playing games that can be used by the ultra rich.

"I'm such a negative person, to be honest." If that is so, she does an amazing job of showing otherwise for this Channel. I get almost purely positive vibes from her. I'm not usually wrong about these things either. 🤷♂️
I am not sure why, but my mind keeps returning to this today. A side effect of managing a good team at work is that I often have a lot of free time to think, for good or ill. My brain is thinking too much today... I am wondering if "being a negative person" is an idea that someone else has planted in her head or if she convinced herself of that. That question has popped into my own mind as I have been working and it's been annoyingly distracting me. Neither answer is great. I hope she begins to see herself as a more positive person. We all have moments of being negative. I've always been a more positive person but have had times where I wasn't, so I understand lapses. Anyways, I'm thinking about this too much. I just need to refocus on work today. 🤦♂️
"They Live" is a documentary. Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: Cover with a covering = skin. But not of my spirit.

One of John Carpenters best sci fi movies. Another great movie score too for John Carpenter. Holly was a human snitch for the aliens. If that would have been a real fight to put on the sunglasses Rowdy Roddy Piper who had 34 heavy wrestling championships would have picked him up and body slammed him, and it would have been over.
Dasha, i recommend watching the 1983 John Carpenter movie, Christine.
Once you know how society works you don’t even need the glasses, you see the signs everywhere.
John Carpenter always knew a way to take the times and put a fantastical spin on them. It's surprising how materialistic we've become even from before. We no longer build things to last, we build things to be consumed and consumed and consumed. As if landfills were infinite and resources unlimited. Only a handful of people choose this way of thinking and, sadly, those people control 90 percent of the world's wealth. With it comes the authority. "They Live" may always speak not only for its time but ours as well. They still live and too many us still sleep.
The fight in the alley represents how difficult it is to convince people they are stuck in an oppressive system.
17:08 Never saw Hugo do that before.
I will subscribe if we get more Hugo!!

In the 1980s there was a huge economic shift in America. All the manufacturing and union labor jobs went away, outsourced to foreign countries with cheaper labor, so a lot of middle class people slid into poverty, while large tax cuts led to a boom in the financial sector, with most of those profits going to people who were already very rich. It created this illusion of prosperity, because a handful of people's fortunes were exploding, but sometimes just a twenty minute drive away there were people living like this in shanty towns of shacks and tents. And all the while people were obsessed with the appearance of success and prosperity, competing with their neighbors to see who could get the most expensive car or reservations at the most expensive restaurant. This film was John Carpenter's critique of that era.
The reason foreign labor became cheaper for big business was Government involvement in the market with regulations and controls, as well as manipulation of the dollar. There is no reason why labor should be cheaper elsewhere, naturally. It's a shame that Government was making it cheaper to outsource jobs and manufacturing rather than keeping it home.
@@GetFitwithDogs government regulations like you can't make someone work 12 hours with no breaks in an unventilated wearhouse full of asbestos. Corporate America was making plenty of profit, but somewhere along the line they abandoned any sense of obligation to their employees and communities and saw maximizing profit as their sole responsibility. Blaming it on government is a pretense. It happened because of naked, unrestrained greed.
@@GetFitwithDogs To be clear you are talking about OSHA and the EPA here. Free Market Capitalism is responsive to short term consequences. It often fails to predict long term costs. The Long term cost to pollution and hazardous working conditions lead to a reduction in the value added by labor.
The rush out of the United States to exploit cheaper labor was never a long term strategy. As we approach the long term consequences twice now the American taxpayer has footed the bill to bail out these 'too big to fail' special interest groups.
Meanwhile the benefits of decentralized market economics has shrunk under the foot of giants incapable of sustaining themselves, and unable to see anything other than profit and loss.
Best not to bring your corporatist apologetics to a viewing of an anti-fascist parable.
What a bunch of gobbledygook. There is no "corporatist apologetics", it's pro-Free Market advocacy.
The type of control over prices (costs) that you touch on is not possible and will always result in corruption. As Friedrich Hayek once said - and I'll paraphrase - there is an arrogance with some people in which they think they could possess the knowledge to design market outcomes through control. This is impossible because there are more variables than can possibly be known.
We live in a time where we have more regulations and government controls than ever before in the USA. This attempt at control has been steadily increasing every decade for 100 years. What is the result? The richest elites have never been richer and have never had possession of more of the market than now.
How is it that these corporations have more power and riches NOW than ever before, when we have more Government involvement than ever before? That is because if the Government is going to insert itself into the Market and start placing rules and regulations, who is best situated to lobby those Government entities to hedge those rules to their own benefit? The super rich or the small business owners? Obviously the super rich. They are the ones with the money and position to buy favors or influence that can be used to their advantage. The small business owners do not have that. Therefore the market can be corrupted by this Government influence in ways that makes it harder to be a small business competing in the market against those corporations. That is exactly what we are seeing.
What we need is a Separation of State and Economics, just as we have a Separation of State and Church. This will allow the market to work naturally and restore a true market without a big daddy Government playing games that can be used by the ultra rich.

Great job Dasha! Glad you enjoyed the movie. And we got some Hugo too. Keep up the great work!
FAITH. That's what gets you through tough times without being negative.
22:47 "And that's how i met your mother." 😆
"I'm such a negative person, to be honest."
If that is so, she does an amazing job of showing otherwise for this Channel. I get almost purely positive vibes from her. I'm not usually wrong about these things either. 🤷♂️
I am not sure why, but my mind keeps returning to this today. A side effect of managing a good team at work is that I often have a lot of free time to think, for good or ill. My brain is thinking too much today...
I am wondering if "being a negative person" is an idea that someone else has planted in her head or if she convinced herself of that. That question has popped into my own mind as I have been working and it's been annoyingly distracting me. Neither answer is great.
I hope she begins to see herself as a more positive person. We all have moments of being negative. I've always been a more positive person but have had times where I wasn't, so I understand lapses.
Anyways, I'm thinking about this too much. I just need to refocus on work today. 🤦♂️
not the real Dasha, obviously.
Roddy and Keith walk into the banquet thingy, by the year 2025... Chilling words if you think about it
Sci fi isn't horror, it's what is prosibile.
Doggy wants out.
One of my favorite John Carpenter movies.
25:06 he's the unfortunate person watching the TV across from the church. Now he's two-faced fortunate.
9:53 "Marry and Reproduce doesnt sound that bad though. Awwww"

"They Live" is a documentary.
Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Cover with a covering = skin. But not of my spirit.
