Scary relevant 💀
Think you’re living in it as well. 🥴😁 Hope you enjoyed it. Great movie.
Outside the White House, August 2025
Excelent choice.
Can’t go wrong with Carpenter.
Great film.
still relevant today
It’s fun.
No more a sci-fi/horror movie, just a documentary. WAKE UP! THEY ARE TAKING AWAY EVERYTHING FROM COMMON PEOPLE
Fabulous film! Great piece of satire and, as he often did, Carpenter was privileging the lives of working class people.
Surprisingly good.
Check these posters out. They're amazing... badtastegoodcause.com/they-live
I love movies that can tell a complete and compelling story in less than 100 minutes.
I worked in TV with the editor of that. He told me that they could have made the "Put on the glasses!" fight an hour long with the footage they had, and if Roddy had had his way they would have
It's cool in a way. The only problem is (spoiler alert) everyone gets killed in the end.
The line actually originated in the 1973 blaxploitation comedy-drama Five on the Black Hand Side. In a famous barbershop scene, a Black character delivers a fast-talking, rhythmic "proto-rap" monologue. "I ain't giving up nothing but bubblegum and hard times, and I'm fresh out of bubblegum."
Classic.
One of my favourites! The bubblegum line... 😘 John Carpenter has made many excellent films & this is one of the best!
Good film - very underrated.
Rowdy Roddy. This should not have been his only real movie.
Hope you're fully stocked on bubblegum!
Great film despite or because of the fight scene.
I thought that was the news...
Don't forget to bring bubblegum
Carpenter’s take on 1984, love that flick.
The director John Carpenter said his film was about Reagan and conservatives in the Eighties. Sucks it’s even more apropos now. Good film.
Rowdy Roddy so great to watch a true cult classic
I never saw that movie, don't know why. Carpenter is a great director.
This movie explains everything
There are some of my DVDs I just couldn’t throw away. That is one of them.
Eat that trash can
The hair is a little too on the nose. 🍊😅
invasion of the body snatchers for men ❤️
Excellent decision!
A great one. (And sometimes, I wonder….)
One of my favorite John Carpenter films. What a great director.
"What's your problem? I said, what's your problem?" We're not just watching it now. We're soaking in it.
good film
