Holy shit, every time I'm reminded of this book and film franchise just everything about it just fills me with absolute white-hot hate. I feel like someone superglued They Live sunglasses to my head; every single person involved in writing, filming and promoting of this filth, and their circle of family and friends, gets cultural revolutioned the moment I find a way to resurrect Mao.

    I never understood the quote at the start of the film about China "waking up" the movie has nothing to do with China

      never saw the movie, but I assume it's a way to have pretend-racial-pride even when the capitalist machinations which do so hurt more Asians at the expense of helping your rich banker self (and a bunch of white bankers), which makes it anti-Asian when all is weighed out.
