… and I’m all outta bubblegum.” The most quoted (and misquoted) scene from the 1988 John Carpenter classic “They Live” starring WWE superstar Rowdy Roddy Piper (RIP). Loved this when I first saw it. Definitely worth watching again. #wwe #rowdy_roddy_piper #theylive #mildly_interesting #80s #80s_movies #johncarpenter

But also, the opening line of the first level of Duke nukem 3D.

They're aliens. You can only see them as aliens while wearing those sunglasses. The movie is called They Live.

All Outta Bubblegum is a hilarious oneshot rules system. Give it a shot. https://www.rpg.net/pictures/show-pic.phtml?picid=20357

Yessss. If you wanna get a rowdy game of it, play it with shots.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

8 shots in 90 minutes is puking territory. (big) sips work though

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No need to actually fill each shot with 1.5oz/45ml. The point vs sips is just having discrete units of bubblegum.

Not everyone quotes the same source. "I'm here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum" -Duke Nukem

This movie came before Duke Nukem.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Yeah, you're right. But it has nothing to do with my point.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

True. I guess I say it’s a misquote because the originality of the “bubblegum and kicking ass” is a clear nod from Nukem to They Live.

Wouldve been a great 5 min short film but they had to ruin it with overblown extended trilogy version of a fight scene about eyewear refusal

FYI, The Fog is what truly turned me. But really anyone involved in The Thing should get an auto pass for an infinite amount of bad films.

I suspect that most Mandela effects are the result of people conflating multiple similar things.

Few, if any, are caused by actual dimensional slippage. The guys in charge are usually good about that sort of thing.
