Daily Dialogue — January 25, 2015

“I’m giving you a choice. Either put on your glasses, or start eating that trash can.”

— They Live (1986), screenplay by John Carpenter, short story by Ray Nelson

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Threat.

Trivia: Writer-director John Carpenter has said of this movie that it was a critique of Reaganomics, a “vehicle to take on Reaganism”.

Dialogue On Dialogue: If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s a hoot. There’s another side of dialogue even more memorable: “I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubble gum.”

If you have a suggestion for this week’s theme, please post in comments.
