John Carpenter pre-2000 was flawless. Hell, I'll even go to bat for Vampires and Ghosts of Mars. They're bonkers in a way only a John Carpenter movie can be. And he always attracts an excellent cast.

Good move, op.

Ghost of Mars is a loving great movie and I unironically love it.

Big Daddy Mars and the solar system is a matriarchy and heterosexuals are a discriminated against minority.

Escape from NEW YORK had a good sound and a few good scenes but overall it's extremely slow and plodding

The Thing loving owns, even though I think some of the practical effects look really dated they're still gross

if you think EFNY is too slow maybe would enjoy the films of Michael Bay instead

The People Under The Stairs was one of my favorite movies when I was 12 or so, even though I didn't get that it was a scathing critique of the Reagans at that time

Metal Gear Solid wasn't sued over Escape From New York ties because Kojima's 'a nice guy'

Carpenter may be a crazy man now, but he's pretty cool.

They shot that practical too, with little black building models outlined with painted lines to make it look like a digital overlay.
