- zevyoura 12y agoAttribution for the premise of They Live?
- ad_hominem 12y agoFirst line of Moxie's post: "The 1988 film They Live is one of the last great masterpieces to come out of the hollywood left." First sentence spoken in Zizek video: "They Live from 1988 is definitely one of the forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood left."
- gojomo 12y agoI doubt Marlinspike needed Zizek to discover They Live.
- moxie 12y agoI loved They Live before the pervert's guide to ideology, but you're right that this post is probably derivative of the latter. It's just a daily blog post that we're doing as part of Winter Break Of Code, and wasn't really "meant" for the front page of HN, so I'm surprised to see it in a place like this. For what it's worth, I wasn't trying to write an analysis of They Live, and was just using it as a tongue-in-cheek back drop for a different question.
