  • What's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?

  • Could've been a firefighter. They'll tear your ass apart in the fire academy if you don't have your rope on you, at all times. Now that I think about it, you wouldn't believe the stuff I keep in my car at all times now.

  • No, HBO go go.

  • Please excuse all the replies, I just love discussing the movie. It's still one of my favorites, but I would love to see some other production company film a different ending and release an alternate version with a powerful ending. Think how "Arrival" (Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner) made you feel at the end. I feel like "They Live" could've been that good, but maybe it was before it's time, and they had to cater to the box office of the time.

  • The fight scene where the main character was trying to get Keith David's character to try on the glasses... that was legendary. I've never seen another (serious) fight scene come close to how hard it made me laugh. 10/10 for that. I imagine Roddy was so familiar with fight choreography from being a professional wrestler that he just got the green light to go ALL OUT and both actors nailed it.

  • I wonder what the original screenplay looked like. It starts so powerfully, but takes such a vivid downturn at the end to appeal to the masses demanding shootouts and explosions. I suspect the ending was rewritten in order to get green lit for production, because the original ending might've been too cerebral for general audiences. I imagine the original ending probably made you think, and generally that's not what the masses like from their movies. Kind of ironic considering the plot of the film, don't you think?

  • The premise was powerful, the plot and character development were good, but it seems like the ending of the screenplay got rewritten, and it wound up being a standard issue Rambo-style shoot em up, when it had the opportunity to end on a different, more powerful note that left the viewer thinking about how this relates to themselves, and our own society.

  • It should be illegal to intentionally misrepresent goods for sale. It's a blatant form of fraud.

  • I still have an unused 5T new in the box, and I was wondering the same thing... What other at least semi-modern ROMs were available...

  • Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie?

  • Yeah, 30 years is, but he said 1995... Wait, no no no no no no no

  • Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)?

  • It's interesting to note that Puerto Rico doesn't have property tax. When you pay off your home, the tax collector's office just leaves you alone.

  • Functionally, there's no difference. The amount they demand is based off your house's value, and they take it away from you if you don't pay. The label is just a detail. And it's not a trivial cost, I inherited a small, aged, worn out house and I pay over $300/mo just to exist in it. The tax office wildly overestimated it's value and there's nothing I can do about it.
