Scott Bakula INVADERS!

There's some images here: http://www.theinvaders.co.uk/miniseries/

...but not much real serious info that I can find about this old miniseries.

CAST:

Earth has been besieged by clever aliens who, after inhabiting a human body, become an environmentalist's worst nightmare: they live off carbon monoxide, smoke incessantly, love car fumes, and even murder ecologists. Nolan, a handsome, strapping everyman, has just been released from prison, but is soon framed for the murder of a doctor who was aware of the aliens' presence. Nolan teams up with the dead medic's fiancee to investigate the matter. Together, they are in a race against time, with David's life -- and Earth's future -- at stake.

OTHER NOTES

Based on the 1960's television show.

Originally broadcast on the Fox Network on Nov. 12 and 14, 1995.

Additional cast: Mario Yedidia, Jack Kehler, Lindsey Ginter, J. Marvin Campbell.

Produced in association with Papazian-Hirsch Entertainment.

Actor Roy Thinnes, who starred in the original TV show "The Invaders", reprises his role as David Vincent.

Still not available in REGION ONE DVD... and now only apparently an OOP 80 dollar Region 2 is even remotely available...

MOVIEGOODS appears to have some expensive posters left for sale on their site though.

...still looking for a decent download, dvd, or digital version...any ideas?

Long Lost OOP Rare Hard to Find They Live OST

I have come here to chew bubble gum and find the long lost soundtrack. I just ran out of bubblegum:

The Inferno Music Crypt has a link that will change your life!

Kick Ass Mike Donovan Gloves

Magnum PI had a Tiger's Hat, and an army belt. Macgyver had an Avirex jacket and a Calgary Flames Hat. Indiana Jones had a Fedora and a whip.

Mike Donovan had a Dodgers Hat and "Roper Gloves."

That is correct, the only form of this glove I've seen anywhere is linked above, and I did get me a pair from this company. Marc Singer can be seen in many episodes wearing the tan one-button snap roper gloves that are almost a vintage style these days. Macgyver was also seen wearing these as well. You will not find them anywhere for under 40 dollars, here's why: these are high quality long-lasting gloves, not cheap garden gloves. Mainly once used by ranchers ("cattle roping gloves"), now replaced by all sorts of new fangled looking 'hi-tec' Carhart type crap. I bought these same ones on Amazon from the above link, and yes they are good quality and will probably last a long time, and very comfortable. They are also custom sized, and not made in CHINA so far as I know. They are good quality, and the closest thing to Donovan's gloves. The only real difference, which is almost hard to even really tell by watching the show, is on the inside palm of the glove, reinforced stitching. Get the "Tan" style, and measure your palm across and all the way around with a tape measure. With a little help from do-it-yourself 'distressing' of the leather, you got a virtual replica of the "Mike Donovan Gloves." See this site for help on distressed style:
http://www.toddscostumes.com/indy/how_to_distress_gloves.htm

Basically, I mixed up some rubbing alcohol with liquid shoe polishes, black and brown, and you'll get a darker color, while the alcohol helps to age and wrinkle it a little bit. Once your tan roper gloves are 'distressed' you'll have a pair that looks almost identical to Marc Singer's. Have fun!

THEY LIVE Clips and Commentary

There's some clips and interesting commentary found at:

V: The Japanese Manga

Yup, that's right. In 1989 a japanese manga version of the television series V by Kenneth Johnson was done, supervised by: Go Nagai, painting: Yasuda TATSU

Two japanese pages describe the manga:

Rough translations of the descriptions on these pages through internet translators are:

The whole world into a vortex of terror involving alien is a surprisingly friendly message to send.Visitor commander in chief John is a global conference to the UN Secretary General and hope.

Some of Go Nagai's more recent anime projects have been Shin Getter Robo, Devilman Lady TV and Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman. He is also putting out more manga now than ever.

Searching...

Hey there rebels, I've been searching for a THEY LIVE OST. Anybody find one in a dumpster recently? (Might have been in a cardboard box full of cheap sunglasses).

I scored a whole slew of OSTs awhile ago, including Bubba Ho-tep and Blue Thunder...

The internet search continues.

If I had me one of them there scanners, I'd post NADA from Alien Encounters, so until then, I'll just have to post a review since I got my copy last week. The links will continue, as I discover more Portals to other dimensions.

Also, still looking for decent pics of Jonathan Doors from Earth Final Conflict, if there's any Conflictees out there who find this site.

Hoffman Lenses

Well I finally got my HOFFMAN Lenses (They Live Promo Sunglasses) from http://www.rowdyroddypiper.com/shop.php

Here's what I have to say.

I ordered both the signed and unsigned glasses.

FYI : They aren't 'prop replicas' thats for sure.

Here's what they look like:

They aren't like the ones in the movie, the lenses are shorter, but "THEY LIVE" is printed on the side, and all in all a unique piece of memorabilia, just don't expect to get a real decent 'copy' of the ones he used in the movie. If you gotta have a pair, I suggest getting the 15.00 ones, as they are actually probably worth a dollar. Don't be surprised if they show up at your door a month later as well, as mine took a month to get here.
