So, if John Carpenter's "They Live" was filmed now, would Bush be one of those creepy skeleton people?

This question is retarded (and it should be, after 9 Heinekens and 7 Yuenglings), but I'd like to see some amusing responses. Because I like creepy skeleten aliens. Duhh..

Yes.

The WWE recently fired Roddy Piper. Or should that be FREED HIM UP FOR HIS HOLLYWOOD COMEBACK?!?!?!?

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

The Piper will be back, but will he come bringing the mullet? That is the question.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah, whoever's president would turn out to be a creepy skelton

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

apparently the timmy/jimmy cripple fight on south park is a recreation of a fight from this

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

This movie needs a sequel (They Live 2: ALL OUTTA BUBBLE GUM). And it needs to be out on DVD. With commentary by Roddy Piper.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, why does the DVD for "They Live" cost like $80? Geez.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:52 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not in print anymore, I don't think (I couldn't even find it at $80 last time I looked). My guess is it was one of those early releases that sucked cause you had to flip the disc over and whatnot, so they'll ... eventually ... bring it back out, all fixed up.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

My dude Yingling (from PA, who drank a 12 of Yuengling w/me tonight) saw They Live on like TMC or something last night, and he just ordered the DVD offa somewhere online for liek $80. I'd call hime and ask where, but his phone got fucked up somehow.

Just to put everything in perspective, I'm currently in the middle of watching Dracula 2, which is a sequel to Dracula 2000. Jason Scott Lee, Roy Scheider and Craig Sheffer are dealing with an angry vampire, whom I suspect is Dracula.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a bit off-topic but since the topic's creator has dismissed it as being stupid I don't feel so bad.

Last week the morning radio show guy I listen to was talking about a horror movie that came out sometime in the seventies called Sssssss. (He specified that there were seven "S"-es in the title.) It's about a scientist guy who gradually turns into some kind of snake man. I hate horror movies but watched a bunch recently as part of my blood phobia therapy (for all the good it did) and have decided that I want to own a movie called Sssssss. I wouldn't even need to watch it. Just having it in my posssssssesssssssion would make me happy.

― jewelly (jewelly), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:09 (twenty-two years ago)

That does put everything into perspective, Slutsky. I dunno how, but it does. And now, onto INTERNET PORN SITES!!!

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Pfft, no, it's DRACULA 2, so it's probably a robot or a clone or a beatnik or something

The last time I saw Roddy on TV (a couple weeks ago) he had short hair and a frightening beer gut. He looks like what Bob Odenkirk would look like in ten years if he were an alcoholic chain-smoking air conditioner repairman instead of a comedian.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

(Beatnik Dracula would be the best horror movie ever, or at least a really good episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Just to put everything in perspective, I'm currently in the middle of watching Dracula 2, which is a sequel to Dracula 2000. Jason Scott Lee, Roy Scheider and Craig Sheffer are dealing with an angry vampire, whom I suspect is Dracula.

I just saw this! (I wrote a vampire novel and am working on the sequel, so we figured, what the fuck, let's rent a probably-cheesy vampire movie). Better than I expected it to be. I'm not saying it was good. Just better than I expected it to be. (They get some New Orleans stuff wrong, but I think it's intentional; like, UNO is one of the only universities in town that doesn't have a medical school, so using the UNO Medical School is probably deliberate 555-ism.)

Seeing Craig Sheffer, despite his doing a Weird Voice in this, made me wish I hadn't lost my copy of Nightbreed.

Just to get back on track, Bob Odenkirk should obviously be in the sequel to They Live. And don't even try to tell me Meg Foster (if I remember right?) isn't available, unless she's holding out for Masters of the Universe 2.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Dracula is blond in this movie, which is not right.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

And Craig Sheffer is acting really weird.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

So Tep you're saying watching this movie all the way through won't be in VEIN?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

ahahahaha

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Here's a joke my friend made up.

How do vampires check their email?

They use the interneck!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:19 (twenty-two years ago)

All vampire jokes must be told in a Bela Lugosi accent.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaaaar

I refuse to take responsibility for your watching it all the way through. It's ... comparable to Equilibrium, maybe (to compare it to another cheesy movie I've seen lately), without the redeeming gun fu and Christian Bale.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked the opening scene. That was pretty good. I can't say I'm really nuts about this motley crew of amateur vampire researchers though.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Seth Green and Willem Dafoe, combined, could have made this the best vampire sequel ever.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Like, do they really think they're gonna be able to figure out a vampire super-serum in one night?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I dig it when shit I start takes on a life (or unlife... nevermind, I was trying to do an undead pun or something but it sucked ass) of it's own.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Dracula sure doesn't have a lot to do in this movie.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, he ...

... there's the part where he ...

Um, but he ...

Damn, why COULDN'T they get the first guy?

(We're spoiling it a little bit for the folks at home.)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that was that. Still don't understand why they made the dude blond.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

at least you're not watching tsui hark's "vampire hunters." that movie stunk, although my friend's dim girlfriend loved it. "ohmigod, i just LOVE kung fu movies!"

― amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 13 July 2003 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Still don't understand why they made the dude blond.

Didn't they explain that -- wait, I think I can spoiler-protect this by making it white or something --

-- when he regenerates or whatever, he takes a different physical form? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating that.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 05:24 (twenty-two years ago)

woah - how do you make it white?

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 13 July 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

No, you're right, they explained it, but it's still dumb. Dracula should not be blond regardless of logic.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 05:27 (twenty-two years ago)

MAGIC SUPER POWERS, Blount! Never underestimate the Tep. (font color=WHITE -- I mean, there's a code thingie too, but I think WHITE works for all browsers).

And yeah, Dracula shouldn't be blond. This is true. It's ... not like they couldn't have cast a brunette.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, you can't really call a movie Dracula 2 and have the guy just sit around in an empty swimming pool.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It really should've been Dracula 2001 anyway, or 2001: a Draculodyssey.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

The title thing is a bit screwy. I guess they couldn't exactly call it Dracula 2000 2.

(by the way the guy who played Dracula sucked in the first one too)

(by that I mean 2000 obviously)

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that was the only real problem I had with the first one (surprisingly) -- I didn't like the guy who played Dracula OR the chick who played the protagonist. Loved Christopher Plummer. Loved Jonny Lee Miller.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

How about topless Vitamin C? I think I'm still in shock from seeing that.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Who are your favourite Van Helsings? I loved Rod Steiger in Modern Vampires.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I was very much in favor of that. Missed having it in the sequel.

Favorite Van Helsing might actually be Christopher Plummer, just because I love the whole concept of having him in Dracula 2000 ... but if not, I'll surprise myself by saying Anthony Hopkins in the all-over-the-map Coppola's Stoker's Dracula.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's not even get into that.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Also destroy: any Dracula with long hair

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd kind of like to see Keanu-as-Neo remixed back into Coppola's Stoker's Dracula's Bride's Head Revisited (I'm just gonna make up titles for that damn movie).

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 13 July 2003 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

It's nice that Dracula still has such currency, but Nosferatu really covered all the bases about 80 years ago.

Dracula as a Sumerian bodybuilder with a zigurrat for a chin was one of the only things that wasn't terrible about Blade III.

you would think I would love this movie but I mostly think it sucks tbh

― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Thursday, 5 November 2020 04:44 (five years ago)

You kind of have to do some of the work for it, but it's still a lot of fun. Would make a great reboot TV series!

My daughter and I watched "The Fog" the other night. What an underrated classic. It's got a mood I haven't encountered many other places.
