Mike Davis sees prophesies of today’s Occupy Wall Street movement in John Carpenter’s classic “date-night terror” flick, They Live. “As Carpenter foresaw, force enough Americans out of their homes and/or careers… and something new and huge will begin to slouch toward Goldman Sachs.” In assessing the surging movement, scholar/activist Davis notes that, “although old radicals like me are too apt to declare each new baby the messiah, this child has the rainbow sign.”
