Um conto de Ray Nelson que, além de escritor, foi o inventor do chapeuzinho com aquela hélice em cima. Você pode ver esse chapeu no filme Os 5 Mil Dedos do Dr. T., de 1953.Este conto inspirou e, creio, serviu de adaptação para o cinema na mãos de John Carpenter, Eles Vivem, de 1988.John Nada é um cidadão normal que, num belo dia, após escutar uma palestra, percebe que não foi influenciado por ela e se sentiu com acordando numa realidade completamente diferente.Passa a ver com outros olhos tudo e todos os que o cercam.Parte então numa tentativa de "acordar" todos os outros.Ele recebe um telefonema de que as 8 horas da manhã do outro dia ele morrerá.Ele não acredita que isso possa acontecer e segue sua jornada de despertar as pessoas, até mesmo sua namorada Jil.Conseguirá ele seu intento?Aguarde.Enquanto isso: Obedeça porque nós somos seus amigos.Se inscreva, toque o sininho , compartilhe.Produzido e narrado por Carlos Eduardo ValenteSonorização do meu amigo Jaime Maciel do canal https://www.youtube.com/@AudiolivrosNarradosCapa produzida por IA e trabalhada para esse conteúdo por Carlos Eduardo ValenteSe vc quiser apoiar esse projeto, acesse:https://apoia.se/carloseduardovalente Pode apoiar também através de um PIXcarlao50@gmail.com Inscreva-se em nosso canal do YouTube:https://youtube.com/@CarlosEduardoValenteSeja membro deste canal e ganhe benefícios: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwJXedn6y5AKKKksevSa_Ug/join

1988 saw the release of two action movies that have become classics of the genre, both of which just happen to have been made by directors named "John" and feature heroes named "John." In a bit of shameless gimmickry, The Pink Smoke's John Cribbs has recruited fellow "John," frequent guest and action movie enthusiast John Arminio for a Patreon-exclusive dive into John McTiernan's Die Hard and John Carpenter's They Live. Cribbs and Arminio have spent hours on The Pink Smoke Podcast going through the James Bond series, but here they examine a more reluctant, blue collar, battle-damaged kind of hero: terrorist-taunting, barefooted, jet-lagged John McClane and alien-spotting, bespectacled, gum-chewing John Nada. Can our host "Johns" find enough common ground between these two iconic warriors to connect the movies beyond their likewise labelled lionhearts? The odds are against them...and that's just the way they like it. This special episode is exclusively available to Pink Smoke patreon subscribers, such as yourself.

After stumbling into a new town while looking for work, John Nada discovers an underground resistance hellbent on waking the general public from their slumber induced by insidious forces who control mass media and government entities. Their secret weapon? Sunglasses that filter out subliminal messages and illusions fed through television, advertisements, and more than you could possibly imagine. Filled with an uncanny amount of prescience that foretold the rise of hyperconsumerism, police militarization, authoritarianism, far-reaching oligarchies, corporate greed, class warfare, collective lethargy, and unyielding zealotry, John Carpenter's “They Live" was ultimately considered a commercial failure at the time of its release. Eventually it became a cult phenomenon, where people often know many of its hooks but have never taken the bait. We are here to tell you that this film is an overlooked masterpiece that sparks important questions, encourages public discourse, and urges viewers to question the ideologies and worldviews that make up their reality.

It's scary season, and this year, we've decided to focus on a series of horror films from a director we love in the genre, John Carpenter. For the first in the series, we're taking a closer look at They Live, the 1988 sci-fi action horror film about our evil alien overlords and the drifter hero who brings them down. We discuss the handling of serious themes like homelessness and rampant consumerism, Carpenter's DIY filmmaking style, pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper's surprisingly nuanced performance as John Nada, the ubiquitous and uber-talented Keith David's role as the definitive alien-fighting sidekick, long street fights between friends, and the importance of having a healthy disrespect for authority. Put on the sunglasses of truth and join the revolution with us!

All Out of Bubblegum - John Carpenter Rings The Alarm - 1988's They Live On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos Mr. Chavez & I sit down to talk one of the great B-Movie, Sci-Fi Classics, John Carpenter's They Live (1988). Science Fiction has traditionally been a genre that comments on the current state of society and culture. Carpenter's depiction of an alien invasion and the subsequent enslavement of the human race, is one of the greatest criticisms of 1980s Reagan Era Economics and the rise of Yuppie culture. With a surprisingly accomplished performance from Wrestling Icon "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as John Nada - an "Everyman" of the Working Poor - and a great supporting performance from Keith David, this is an exceptional film that warned us of the dangers of the destruction of the Middle Class. Take a listen as we - once again - draw comparisons between art, culture, and the ugliness of politics. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks!
Wake up! See the world for what it really is and break free of the capitalistic prison we live in. Join the resistance with Mitch, Mur and Jonathan as they explain what's really going on in our society. "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass - and I'm all out of bubblegum." -John Nada
The 1980s may not have been quite as bleak as 1984 predicted, but the Reagan era did see plenty of doom and gloom in entertainment, from Mad Max and Blade Runner to The Terminator and RoboCop. In When We Were Young’s latest episodes, Reel Gents podcast host Travis Dukelow joins us to dissect a cornucopia of dystopias unleashed in the 80s. In Part One, we cover Terry Gilliam’s legendary BRAZIL (1985), which takes several cues from Orwell’s 1984 and adds a healthy dollop of dryly absurd British humor. Jonathan Pryce stars as meek cog-in-the-machine Sam Lowry, whose heroic fantasies offer the only hope of escape from a dreary, duct-ravaged world — at least, until Robert De Niro shows up as the world’s most swashbuckling repairman. If your vision of the future involves Christmastime, lobotomies, plastic surgery gone awry, and terrorism, this is the dystopia for you! If you prefer a more scathing satire of consumerism and media, however, look no further than John Carpenter’s camp classic THEY LIVE (1987), discussed in Part Two of this episode. It stars wrestler Roddy Piper as John Nada, a down-on-his-luck drifter who suddenly learns that roughly half of America’s population is being brainwashed by television — and the other half are aliens. This cult favorite features magic sunglasses, excessive ass-kicking, and absolutely no bubblegum — and yet feels strangely prescient about the state of the world in 2018. Is it 1984 yet? Join us for this two-part dystopic extravaganza before the inevitable collapse of society renders podcasts obsolete! When We Were Young is a podcast devoted to the most beloved pop culture of our formative years (roughly 1980-2000). Join us for a look back to the past with a critical eye on how these movies, songs, TV shows and more hold up now.

There's a world out there that many can't see. Producer Richie Owens tells this story about John Nada.
Der arbeitslose Ölarbeiter John Nada zieht auf der Suche nach einer Beschäftigung als Tagelöhner durch Amerika und gelangt nach Los Angeles. Die Metropole ist abseits der glitzernden Bürotürme der Großkonzerne von Armut und Arbeitslosigkeit geprägt. Nada beobachtet einen blinden Prediger, der an einer Straßenecke in apokalyptischem Zungenschlag von bösartigen Manipulationen durch mysteriöse Mächte erzählt. Nada findet einen Job auf einer Großbaustelle, wofür die Zustimmung der Gewerkschaft notwendig ist. Dort lernt er Frank kennen, der ihm von einer Streikniederlage an seinem früheren Arbeitsplatz, einem Stahlwerk in Detroit, berichtet und seinem Entschluss, bei der nächsten Gelegenheit gewaltsam gegen die Kapitalisten vorzugehen. Nada dagegen vertritt den Standpunkt, dass er, der an Amerika glaube, es zu etwas bringen werde, wenn er nur auf seine Chance warten würde. Frank nimmt ihn mit zu einer in der Nähe einer kleinen Kirche gelegenen provisorischen Barackensiedlung, in welcher kostenloses Essen ausgeteilt wird und es Schlafmöglichkeiten gibt. Die meisten Einwohner dieser Behausungen sitzen wie viele andere Einwohner der Stadt ständig vor dem Fernseher und konsumieren das von den Sendern ausgestrahlte Werbefernsehen. Allerdings werden die Sendungen oft von einem Sprecher eines TV-Piratensenders unterbrochen, welcher über eine fremde Macht berichtet, die die Menschheit für ihre Zwecke missbraucht und nur ihren eigenen Profit vermehren will. Woher diese kommt bzw. ob damit Klassengegensätze gemeint sind, bleibt unklar. Er ruft zum revolutionären Widerstand auf. film-nerd.de

They Live is a 1988 American science fiction horror film written and directed by John Carpenter. The film stars Roddy Piper, Keith David, and Meg Foster. It follows an unnamed drifter (referred to as "John Nada" in the film's credits) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/stuffudontneed2know/message
So John Carpenter once made a campy little sci-fi with a professional wrestler as the lead and - what do you know - it became the most lastingly relevant film in the genre. And that's only slightly hyperbolic.Long before Morpheus handed Thomas Anderson a red pill John Nada beat his friend Frank down in a grimy alley so he'd see the world the way it really is. And perhaps, through John, we do too.So slap on your cheap sunglasses, grab some chewing gum, and buckle in for the Triple S review of 1988's They Live. Watch along and you'll see a man walk away from a 30 foot fall through a plate glass window. You'll see thinly veiled indictments of all things capitalist. But will you see something scary?Download and find out!
