That movie has the best fight scene, just two dudes fighting over a pair of glasses, no flashy bullshit, just a good old fight.
Fun fact: the infamous “cripple fight” from South Park is a shot-for-shot remake of the fight scene from They Live
its a real time fight, watch it again and notice how long the cuts are and how long the scene is
it is a true masterpiece and all because the main actor could stage a fight
If memory serves me right, Roddy piper fought to keep it like that, the director wasn’t sure untill he watched it and left it as is.
You should always trust someone like Rowdy Roddy Piper when it comes to choreographing a fight.
I saw it for the first time a few years ago and was crying tears of laughter. It’s absolutely brilliant.
And mildly gay
All movie fights are somewhat homoerotic, I thought that’s why people liked them, hell that’s why I like them.
It doesnt even have to be a fight, 1980’s moves loved the somewhat homoerotic joke
THOSE AREN’T PILLOWS!!!
This is a effect called “Frequency illusion”
The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it
No, it’s because it stay in cache, and when the simulation is overloaded, it directly takes an asset already resident in cache instead of loading a new one. Like the car in GTA3: https://x.com/ObbeVermeij/status/1790730197286752530?ref=libertycity.net
Like when you buy a car you think you’ve not seen many of and suddenly you see them everywhere
Yeah it’s also like when you buy a car you think you’ve not seen many of and suddenly you see them everywhere

I’m aware of the illusion, but very few topics feel as meta as this one
Now go watch the “cripple fight” episode of South Park for a fun treat!
They Live is the truth!
Obey! Consume!
I felt that way about watching the human centipede which I did by total accident. It is constantly being referenced and I would never have understood any of it. I literally heard a refence to it in the past couple of days.
Listened to Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn” today for the first time to a very similar effect. Can’t say I listened to the whole thing, though, considering it’s a 22 minute piece …
Thanks, it’s stuck in my head now.
Wir fahr-fahr-fahr’n auf der Autobahn …
Rowdy Roddy Piper was great in that movie!
