# Well, you get an automatic *click* for Carpenter-age

# He's an interesting one. It's like he just doesn't give a fuck about life

# Also Vampires.
Actually I quite liked Vampires in a stupid ' what the hell, it's only carpenter whacked out on coke and pills and booze' sort of way.

# The piece of plastic ripping
from his neck when she bit him was soo bad. Even "Congo" had better special FX.

# god help me, i love that film
purely because james woods is a god.

# That was a tragedy, wasn't it?
To go from The Thing, P.O.D., Escape From New York, etc to that is simply illogical.

Edit: Even 'They Live' was pretty good.

# I love "They Live"
Nice subversive flick. Didn't age too well, true.

# Yep. I like They Live, Big Trouble in Little China and I have a very
large soft spot for The Invisible Man movie he did with Chevy Chase and Sam Neil. But it's like you can actually see the moment where his joy at film making was shattered in two.

# That is an extraordinarily accurate way to describe it, sir. Consider my cap to be well and truly doffed.
*ponders what that moment of realisation must have been like*

# And he consequently
allowed all his good films to be inferioringly remade

But it's like that conversation about Stevie Wonder in High Fidelity. He's still a genius despite writing I Just Called to Say I love You.

Carpenter is still a great director despite not having made a good film since They Live
