Ode to John Carpenter

1976's Assault on Precinct 13 is a blueprint for the career of master of horror John Carpenter. Every film he would make afterwards can be found inside it. The director's own version of a Howard Hawks' movie, Assault features a pair of taciturn highly professional heroes, a modern take on the "Hawk's Girl", and a relentless adversary that can only be stopped with enough bullets. Jimmy and Justin also use the discussion to eulogize actor/trucker Darwin Joston who played the role of the great anti-hero Napoleon Wilson. Fame is a matter of luck and timing. Both Carpenter and Joston's careers prove it.
