~from the movie They Live

Somebody mentioned the movie "They Live" earlier, and it got me thinking about the alien vampire wolves that govern the world fnord.  The movie is about the ebil Lords that you can only see with special glasses granted by a "trustworthy" ally.  Many are the puppets in the CoN society blind to the pure malevolence of their necromantic masters.  Many are the puppets that live to serve.  They live...kinda sorta maybe.  And their Master(s)?  They dead.  Does that mean the SNAFUd CoN is free!?!  No no no no no.  It means they are mastered by the DEAD.  Do you believe in ghosts?  Doesn't matter if you do or don't dagnabit.  They live.  Could be your neighbor down the street, with the seemingly "perfect" church going troop supporting life.  Ever notice something a little strange about perfectly fucked up apocalyptic war mongering "life"?  It's all just a Halloween mask, compared to the true horror underneath it all.  They DEAD.  So stop aqcuiescing to these vampires fnord and let them BE dead!  DEATH TO THEM!  DEATH TO ALL WHO FOLLOW THEM!  Life to those who live it.  THEY DEAD FNORD.
So long, and thanks for all the shit.

But only for the overuse of the fnord.

Other than that, it's a tolerable treatment of the original.

There were only 3 fnords in the OP.

This is what it looks like without them.

can we get a word filter that replaces the word fnord with the word JESUS?

I prefer cheeses.

Cheese is delicious.

The movie sounds like, well, a cliche of a metaphor. Is well done? My biggest gripe with these types of things tends to be that they feel over done and/or stale. If it's worth it, though, I will check it out.

It's awesomely bad.


If you don't know Rowdy Roddy Piper, he's a professional wrestler.  That should give you some idea.

Also, it has dialogue like, "I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.  And I'm all out of bubblegum."

And it has a 15-minute fight scene over whether or not Piper should put on the magic sunglasses.


Get fucked up before watching it.

but that's from Duke Nukem 3D! they got it from there?

also, today i happened to pick up a random "curse of the spawn" comic issue lying around on my flatmate's floor, which also mentioned the phrase (prepended by "like my old friend Duke used to say ..")
