Just put on the sunglasses!

Someone posted this link demonstrating that the South Park 'cripple fight' scene was a blow by blow recreation of the Roddy Piper/Keith David fight scene from They Live.

That got me thinking about the movie in general and about that fight scene. How hard would people fight to retain a comfortable lie in order to avoid facing a cold and cruel reality? Who would sell out for a piece of the good life? Who would stand up and fight?

Yup... modelled after, but is it just me or do the characters seem to switch back and forth in the South Park redo? (i.e. based on the blows, but not consistant with the characters?)

 

... also voted that I'd prefer the truth, no matter how nasty it is.

I also voted for the truth, no matter how nasty it is...but when the aliens land (and make no mistake my friend they ARE coming!)...it's every man-jack for himself!!!

It's probably a good thing that I believe that I can outrun you. Years ago I saw a cartoon strip that went something like this

 

Two men are pulling on ropes. The first turns to the second and says "Hey, aren't you Spielberg! I just loved all your movies. Especially ET. Who wouldn't love a movie about small, likeable, aliens that befriend children."

 

The strip expands and shows the two men being whipped by a large reptillian alien as they pull a large stone block. "Who knew that they would turn out to be nasty SOB's..."
