Right!? And this is the day and age where we have magic glasses that show you things only you can see! I’d be perfect. Plus I think a lot of us would like to blame lizard poeple instead of, y’know humanity.
To be fair, there’s a decent chunk of idiotic people who believe that anyway.
If they did make it a series there would need to be a 10-minute-long fight in an alley in every episode.
Never, ever fuck with perfection
John Carpenter probably owns the rights. I’m guessing streaming services would prefer to deal with smaller fish.
TIL that he’s a fish
A surprising number of 1980s actors and directors were fish.
Even Wanda?
Fish shaped but technically a dolphin.
I don’t know if you remember the controversy around Wanda. Wanda was not a fish, which sparked a media firestorm about who is appropriate for various roles, appropriation, and other topics the movie-going public was decidedly not ready for. It harkened back to the controversy around the Lassie movies.
Anyway, that movie almost single-handedly precipitated the end of fish in movie production. For some it was a victory, for others, it was a significant setback that signaled a nadir in human/fish relations.
And it set the stage for the 2010s and Taylor Swift.
Apparently a lot of people thought it was antisemetic, with the aliens being Jewish. (Apparently making them aliens wasn’t enough.)
I’ve seen They Live several times and I never noticed the aliens were Jewish? They appeared to be politicians, actors, and general rich people.
They aren’t, that’s the bad read of it.
I would have sworn this was remade not too long ago, but it turns out that never actually came about. There was some recent news hinting that it may still happen, though.

In regards to whether this could mean a new chapter in the narrative could actually be coming, King hinted, “There might be.”
