1. Where did you find a copy with the scifi taken out?

Just curious.

2. I am just saying, replace the aliens with the 1% it is interesting

3. Well, I'm not familiar with that movie.

Maybe you'd like to expand your post a little bit, so we can understand what you're talking about. That'd be great. Otherwise, I have to confess that I can't see why you posted it in General Discussion.

5. It's about a man who's struggling to get by

and he bands with a bunch of people in a sort of tent city that's raided by the cops. He (I forget exactly how) gains these special glasses that reveal the cops and media and other powerful people to be aliens, and also behind all the signs and ads around him there are words like "obey".

8. Oh, OK. Thanks.

7. From Rotten Tomatoes

John Carpenter wrote and directed this science fiction thriller about a group of aliens who try to take over the world by disguising themselves as Young Republicans. Wrestler Roddy Piper stars as John Nada, a drifted who makes his way into an immense encampment for the homeless. There he stumbles upon a conspiracy concerning aliens who have hypnotized the populace through subliminal messages transmitted through television, magazines, posters, and movies. When Nada looks through special Ray-Bans developed by the resistance leaders, the aliens lose their clean-cut "Dan Quayle" looks and resemble crusty-looking reptiles. Nada joins the underground, teaming up with rebel-leader Frank (Keith David) to eradicate the lizard-like aliens from the body politic. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

10. "I have come here to chew bubble-gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble-gum."

A perfect slogan for the 99% movement.

12. OutHow about

Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us, from birth to death, are our owners! Our owners! They have us. They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They're all about you! All around you!
