I really enjoyed Prince of Darkness. They Live is a good movie, but it wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't for Rowdy Roddy. Recently rewatched Vampires. It wasn't his best one, but it was fun. OPs pic is overhyped.
I'm trying to watch Hell comes to Frog Town. Rowdy Roddy is held captive as a breeding bull by raider b***hes in a wasteland ruled by battletoads. I heard its awful.
Holy shit didn't expect to see this posted. It's surprisingly self-aware and kinda fun. I've got a soft-spot for heavy cheese but it's definitely a really stupid movie
I've just seen too much carpenter praise. people act like the thing is some horror masterpiece when without the effects, which aren't scary at all just neat, the movie is very shallow. they live is not an interesting social commentary it's just a goofy idea that works for what it is but doesn't have any actual message other than "bro just stop buying things." it works more as an alien invasion movie than as a political movie.
>goofy idea
I think you are letting your fatigue cloud your reasoning, anon. Your synopsis would be more accurate if it was just the billboards and tv shows and such. But there was a force actively maintaining compliance in the population. That takes it to a level beyond what you suggest.
I watched this when I was 5, back in like 89, before anyone knew what any of that homosexual shit you just said was. It was kino then and it's kino now.
This movie predates everything from Tekken to MortalKombat, I like the scene where Egg Shen and Lo Pan have a video game projection battle with their mystic warriros. It's a cult hit, always was, reddit gays can take nothing away from it. This movie was a cult hit since the days of Cinemaphile and before the internets itself, before Dirty Dancing, before 90s movie magazines were popular reddit blood suckers just trived to leech off the cult hype. You had the Action hero or Robot Alien villain of the 80s Command or Terminator, The Karate Kid 80s you had French degenerate crap like Beau-père think 80s, nothing was there, old Japan Seven Samuari movie, sportsball Field of Dreams movies. Hong Kong action cinema then arrives and was selling like crazy on VHS and then Carpenter comes along.
Big Trouble in Little China is Carpenter's second best film.
Carpenter is at his best when the joke or the point really goes together with his film.
He's fine when he's just making a film with no axe to grind but he really seems to be the type to be motivated by shit he thinks of as important.
He's at his worst when the importance of the point outpaces the actual, you know, making a film that works.
A really easy comparison to make is Escape from New York vs Escape from LA.

It's a cool flick to eat a burger and watch with your buddies. Like practically every Quentin Tarantino film for another example.
>like practically every Quentin Tarantino film
Debatable. I guess if you can stomach how boldly narcissistic every single one of his films is. Picky any one of them and you could replace it with a 2 hour clip of Tarantino with his legs behind his head and his nose in his ass while he rips loud wet farts directly into his sinuses, you wouldn't miss any of the feels of the film.
Really? I thought Kill Bill 1 and 2 were pretty cool. Especially the sword fighting part against the Yakuza. I can understand not liking Jackie Brown or Pulp Fiction if you don't like non-linear storytelling (personally I prefer linear stories so I'm not as thrilled on those two but I can stomach it), but why no Kill Bill?
Looks pretty cool. That room looks sort of empty though. I watched the movie a couple weeks ago and got big boomer shooter vibes from it. My man even shoots a cacodemon in it. Yours isn't the only vidya inspired by it. Somebody at blizz was obsessed with it.
Thanks, it's very wip. Gonna have all sorts of crazy chinese supernatural high action shit eventually. I've got a demo if you're interested.
Pretty cool. The mouse sensitivity is 0.5 by default, not sure if thats intentional. The scaling on some of the furniture is off, like the toilets are huge. Makes the main character seem like the size of a little kid. The music fricking rocks.

Sweet as. Thanks for playing. Plenty more to go on this adventure.

What about The Golden Child 1986?
Because of the ninja craze a bunch of quirky Asian pandering movies were being made by Hollywood in the 80's. Thanks to it we got Blood Sport but everyone has seen that. I wonder what sparked the ninja fad in the 80's though. And it wasn't the Ninja Turtles, that's just another product of the fad. There were an insane amount of ninja movies released within that decade.
welcome to john carpenter movies. overhyped as frick by nostalgiagays and little gays who wish they were old school, but not bad movies themselves.

The Prince of Darkness, They live and The thing are all awesome but OP’s pic is mediocre at best.
Why yes I will use your bait thread to post Jack Burton quotes
>Who?
>Jack Buron. Me.
overrated lame reddit OP
Yes you are

Was Jack a Volcel or a MGTOW?

All of the "bonkers" action movies rereleased by Vinegar Syndrome. At this point only the porn movies are accurately described.

Unironically
basically all carpenter movies.
Love this movie. Big part of the inspiration for the boomer shooter I'm making.
What is this?
Lustprovokingimage. Duh

I'll play a demo if you wanna link an itch page or something

Let me know your thoughts! I put up a page on twitter if you'd like to follow progress. Just search Shanghai Gold.

Any Timesplitters influence?
Never played it 🙁
I'm cheekyposting
Timesplitters rules. Future Perfect is one of the best fps campaigns ever. Right up there with Half Life and Halo 2, in my book.
Down for demo but also make a thread on >Cinemaphile

Agreed.

My guess is the rise of Japan as an economic powerhouse. It just sparked a fascination in their culture which could be bought and sold.
The dude. Whatever movie that is.
Also, this is the way. Whatever show that was.

Even as a kid, i never liked pic related that much. I don't see what's so great about it
