Happy B-Day to John Carpenter: (Escape from New York, Escape from L.A.)
This is the director who developed the character "Snake" that influenced Konami to make "Solid Snake" from Metal Gear Solid.
He also directed "Big Trouble in Little China" too in the 80's. I personally own these great movies. "The Thing" was another great movie too. Haven't played the game though and vaguely remember "The Thing".
Now, where can I find a Jack Burton, Lo-Pan and Raiden figurine??? (Just kidding ^_^)
sssssushi :O)

Yeah, I suppose so, I haven't played Metal Gear solid, but I love the artwork and inspiration behind it.
I thought the character "Snake" from Escape from N.Y. / L.A. was my favorite future outlaw.
I also thought that the movie "Captain Ron" made fun of his "Snake" character to liven audiences at the time I guess ^_^

I love Carpenter's old stuff, however he is at a low right now I think. Personally I believe he should do what he wants to do and go back to nutty stories, I think alot of these new movies like Ghosts of Mars are creations of Hollywood's pressure on him to make 1 weekend money makers. Perhaps the new anime Escape From NY will relive the old days.

Ghosts of Mars is pretty crappy, but I really liked Vampires. And his old stuff is just plain excellent. I'd like to see him make a big comeback with something crazy... of course, I've been waiting for George Romero to do the same for years, and I'm still waiting.

I always thought that Carpenter's best work came when he was working with Kurt Russell. They were sort of the Kurosawa/Mifune of B movies.
