I watched They Live - at least most of it. I got tired at the end.
It's a slow movie! When he gets the glasses he keeps putting them on and off for about 20 minutes. Then he has a fight with his friend from work for about 20 minutes.
I'm like: Just get on with it!
Disappointing.
Also the main character should have been Keith David who is a better actor and better looking than the bland mullet muscle man they got.
I also get the feeling it inspired 90% of anti-capitalists

I also think it's a very shallow anti-capitalism that attributes its flaws to a conspiracy or mind-control rather than the nature of the system itself.

And advertising works in a slightly more subtle way, within a system that supports the advertising message and vice versa.
