That's it!
I've known that quote and the movie it was from for years, without having seen the movie. Watched it with great anticipation last weekend and was very underwhelmed. _________________ Dave Cook

I finally watched a movie with a very favorite movie quote, that I'd never actually seen the other day, They Live. Kept my eyes peeled for a Bus, but never spotted one.
Unfortunately, compared to the awesome line, the rest of the movie was largely boring besides a couple parts.
Bonus points to whoever can guess the line. Probably the only memorable one from the movie. _________________ Dave Cook

New movie on Amazon for 2025, The Electric State, based on Simon Stalenhag's book. I've got the book, I've got a bad feeling about the movie...

1985, "Shoah: First Era", a 9 hour documentary on the holocaust. In this scene the producers were upstairs interviewing an ex-Nazi and unbeknownst to him he was being secretly recording and the signal was being transmitted out front to the bay window packed with receiving and recording equipment. If you look closely you can see a tiny antenna mid roof on the bus.
|
A couple more shots of the bus and the equipment inside. You can see the antenna folded flat on the roof.
