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.

Yep. I like They Live, Big Trouble in Little China and I have a verylarge 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.

And he consequentlyallowed 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
