First time watch, really kicked me in the clit with how
prescient it was.

The complete takeover by 2025? Bitch, we're living it! But also, feels like one of the most perfect examples of Carpenter merging his political points with his stylistic sharpness.

Fucking obsessed with the odd, bleak tone that also still manages to be fun and funny when the moment desperately calls. One of the great final scenes of any movie ever.
