Since my wife is recording “Kid Nation” and “America’s Next Top Model” on our DVR, I don’t have the ability to change to a different channel at this point – the perfect time to throw in a classic “oldie but goodie.”
“They Live” is, in my opinion, John Carpenter’s finest movie – grade B excellence. From an awesome premise, timeless quotes (“I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum….”), and great fight scenes, this movie has it all. Well, everything but a perfect story execution, but that’s part of the low budget charm. I still vote this movie as an instant cult classic.
Since I constantly tell my brother about “one of my favorite all-time fight scenes” from this movie, I figured I’d post it here. In this clip our protagonist Nada (Roddy Piper) tries to convince his co-worker Frank (Keith David) to put on a pair of special glasses that allow one to see aliens living among them. Frank, of course, declines.
This one’s for you, Ryan. And for those of you who haven’t seen it, go rent it, grab some popcorn and a few beers and enjoy!
Music is a huge part of our game, and I’m guessing it plays a big part at other groups’ tables as well. The perfect soundtrack is one that plays nicely in the background without affecting or intruding too much on the actual events in the game. A few musical scores regularly grace our sessions: 13th Warrior, Gladiator, LOTR and the ever present Midnight Syndicate medley.
