I loved They Live before the pervert's guide to ideology, but you're right that this post is probably derivative of the latter. It's just a daily blog post that we're doing as part of Winter Break Of Code, and wasn't really "meant" for the front page of HN, so I'm surprised to see it in a place like this.

For what it's worth, I wasn't trying to write an analysis of They Live, and was just using it as a tongue-in-cheek back drop for a different question.

I doubt Marlinspike needed Zizek to discover They Live.

Attribution for the premise of They Live?

First line of Moxie's post: "The 1988 film They Live is one of the last great masterpieces to come out of the hollywood left."

First sentence spoken in Zizek video: "They Live from 1988 is definitely one of the forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood left."
