Sean Hughes _ean_ughes92 — A stupendous waste of time. To call John Carpenter's Z-grade movie dumb reflects poorly on the source, for stating what is already self-evident. Packaging the statement in a lengthy, pseudo-intellectual tract exhibits the precocity of a child. Must we analyze low-brow products as if they were subjects worthy of deep study? I think it is safe to say that John Carpenter and his actors and film crew did not set out to layer profundities into what is still cinema's longest street brawl (for nearly 9 minutes Rowdy Roddy Piper and keith David fight in an alley over sunglasses), and for all the satire presented by They Live, it follows a populist impulse like the 50's schlock that inspired it. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can see this. I can glory in this kind of sci-fi trash and leave my intellectual illusions at the door. This book would have been justified, I think, nested in a larger study, or even, dare I say, as footnote to a compendium of essays on the period of John Carpenter's career when he made entertaining and inspiring films (Shepard Fairey's "OBEY" campaign from They Live, DJ Shadow's sampling of Prince of Darkness on his first release, to name but a couple). Let's not kid ourselves, as this book seems to think we should: Carpenter is not an intellectual pleasure. Many of his movies, however, are a joy to watch, and I'd much prefer to watch They Live than ever have to look at this book again.
