Let's talk about the 1988 movie "They Live." There was actually a lot of politics in this movie -- was that something you knew when you were approached by John Carpenter to star in the film?

With Carpenter, I didn't quite get the undertone of Reaganomics, but I got the undertone of conspiracy. And that's what it's about. You don't know what's going on anymore. You don't know where you're from. That's Carpenter's statements.

There's been talk about a remake of "They Live." Have the potential producers been in touch with you?

Yep. We're going to have lunch after this trip to Denver.

1. How is he going to be in a sequel when he died in the original?

Now, a sequel to "Hell Comes To Frogtown" I could see.

3. I fixed the subject line...it's a remake, not a sequel.

2. I always liked "They Live"

Although several of my friends doubted my sanity and my taste in movies when I told them so.

4. It was a fun movie, however if you took out the long wrestling scene in the middle, the film was

only 20 minutes long.
