What Happened To John Carpenter?

I was super excited when word on the street was that John Carpenter was getting back into the game and making a full fledged film and not a mini movie Ala Masters Of Horror. I mean if you grew up in the 80's John Carpenter films where a right of passage. Some of my favorite films to this day are Carpenter films. As i watched his latest film The Ward unspool in front of my eyes i began to spiral into a tailspin of suck. This guy is a genre genius and i am watching utter crap about MPD(multiple personality order.) Sorry but i expect more form the master of the genre. This is the guy who ignited the slasher film craze of the late 70's early 80's. As i sit hear and listen to my Big Trouble In Little China soundtrack i am reminded that not only was carpenter a uber talented director and writer but he also can knock the cock off a soundtrack. Sit back and behold some of the genius that is John Carpenter and pray we get a true return to form sooner rather than later.

1. They Live
This by far is my favorite film that Carpenter has ever made. It has great dialogue. A fun premise and some of the most balls out bad-ass fight scenes ever committed to celluloid. The fight between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David is fucking amazing and it gets me pumped every time i see it. Even south park copied said scene for a episode. Behold..... They Live.

Here is one of the greatest line from the film.

Big Trouble In Little China was one of the many collaborations that Carpenter did with Kurt Russell and it happens to be my favorite.

The Thing is getting some sort of prequel and it's rated pg-13. Fuck that how do you make a pg-13 film prequel that ties to Carpenter's remake. Fuck Hollywood. Yet another team up of Russell and Carpenter and let's not forget more Keith David. Some of the best special effects to this day.

That's fucked up.... Check this out.

Next we have Escape From New York. Just a great film full of synth music and 80's grim and grit.

Finally we have the film that kind of kick started shit into high gear for Carpenter. One Word...you know it.... Halloween. BTW Rob Zombie this is how you make a movie about Michael Myers.
