Quote HistoryQuoted: Awesome movie! My E&I team watched this in the day room of Cape Lisburne, Alaska during a bad snow blizzard in 1983 - 84 time frame. Cape Lisburne is 200 miles above the Artic circle (Yes, I know the movie takes place at McMurdo Bay in Antartica), but same conditions. The camp had a total of maybe 12 people in it at the time. When the camp was manned by the USAF, it housed between 200 - 300 people. I know someone that works in Antarctica, he said The Thing is the most watched movie down there, I can't imagine a better movie to watch when wintering over. He's at Palmer right now, but I think he was at McMurdo in the past. Has to be surreal to watch it there. |

I stumbled on to it on tv one night. not a fan of horor flicks, but, dammit, I had a big bowl of ice cream and needed something to watch. The theme music drew me in and everything else held me there. Wudda phenomenal film. Still haven't seen it on a big screen. Watched the old James Arness version last week, followed up with the original The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why does anyone think that a person that is a Thing wouldn't have breath that you could see in the cold in the first place? Are you suggesting that you could just point a thermometer at people two tell who is a Thing and who is not? You can clearly see Bennings before they light him up, but he was not 200% copied. Pretty sure you can see the dogs breath in the beginning, but I need to double check. Keith David himself is on record as saying they did nothing special, and he thought it was just a trick of the light, or him being closer to the fire. He admitted that Carpenter might have added something in postprocessing, but that he had never asked him, and always considered the ending to have been deliberately ambiguous. |

You can't go wrong with those old sci fi 50's films.....even the cheesy, made purely for drive ins movies were fun. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The game is canon as far as I know, bro. Carpenter endorsed it and did cameo voice acting in it as I recall. I am familiar with all the arguments. I am just telling you straight up, the game is as close to a sequel as the movie has, and it seems to have Carpenter's blessing. Will he change his mind later? Who knows. But he pretty much signed on the the video game as 'correct', and neither one of those guys were a thing. I would also add: One of the creepier VGs I've ever played. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Excellent horror movie. Definitely inspired monster design in Resident Evil 4, and inspired Parasyte the Maxim Anime. Honestly I feel like it also inspired Dead Space (As did Event Horizon) Imo the special effects still hold up today It was also the main inspiration for the game Among Us, as well as the necromorphs in Dead Space. |

To OP's edit:
- Child's running off and showing up again is extremely suspect, as pretty much anyone else who vanished got infected. - MacReady sharing the bottle with him, and him taking it and drinking from it willingly, and then MacReady laughing, (perhaps the absence of breath thing too), was, for me, an "aha," moment that MacReady realized Child's was a Thing, and he's laughing out of cynicism. Idk, that's just a new way I started interpreting the ending. I had seen it many times before coming to that "revelation," but I know it's intentionally left ambiguous, which is fun. |

Seems like it would be a cool experience. How did they handle stuff like a medical or even dental emergency? evac? Highest level of emergency medical care was at Mcmurdo, and I believe it was roughly the equivalent of a rural ER. Depending on weather evac could take a while. I worked on ships and evac might take a week. We had one suspected heart attack, it took 3 days at full ahead to get within Chilean helicopter range. When we were out at sea I was the highest qualified medical person in a 1000 mile radius. And I had an EMT-B cert and MPIC, with telemed doctors available via sat phone. After that our options were steaming to helo range of a station, or running clear back to Chile or New Zealand. Nobody really talked about those possibilities. I thought about them a lot, and didn't like the answers I always got. But in the end, it's like any wilderness medicine. If I can't maintain a Pt in the first 5 minutes, I'm likely not getting him to definitive care because he's either succumbed to shock, airway compromise, cardiac arrest, or exsanguination. Luckily we never had any major problems when I was aboard. There was a dentist at Mcmurdo. One of our guys had to go get a filling replaced. I'm not sure if they did a patch job, or a fully functional filling. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I loved that movie!!! The remake SUCKED It was a prequel, & it was disappointing. Not sure why Carpenter gave it his "blessing", though it wasn't terrible, but CGI didn't help. I read Carpenter was playing with the idea of a sequel, or maybe even a reboot (Please no), which could have potential, but even original creaters can turf their own creations. Take Ridley Scott, for example. If it's going to happen, should probably be sooner than later. |

I'd always heard stories of people running out of theaters playing certain horror movies in the past, but that was the only one i ever actually witnessed it. That early scene where the infected dog's face split open like a banana peel. This teenaged black girl two rows up jumped up and yelled: "Naw...Hell!" and tried to cover her eyes and ears from the screen using her arms. Last thing i heard her scream on her way out was: "Fuck that shit!"  |

I saw it at the drive-in when it came out and dozens of times since (have the VHS and DVDs). For me, it's almost the perfect guy and gun movie right up there with Red Dawn, Omega Man, Escape from New York, and a few others on my list. I do wish they would have fired the HK93 since it wound up in their gun cabinet:
 Although, the IMFDB doesn't mention it, it appears that there is an M16A1 (or maybe an SP1) in the gun cabinet as well. I have freeze framed this scene and it's visible. I really wish they would have blasted away with it. Hard to fathom that not one of those guys would have armed themselves with those two rifles after the SHTF. That would have made the movie five out of five stars for me instead of four. Here is a pic grabbed from the dvd:  Although hard to see (it's actually more clear when the video is playing), the M16A1 or AR-15 SP1 is all the way to the right and the Norwegian's HK93/33 is to the left of it. The grip and stock can be seen but there appears to be a GI sling attached which blocks some of the rifle. |

I have freeze framed this scene and it's visible. I really wish they would have blasted away with it. Hard to fathom that not one of those guys would have armed themselves with those two rifles after the SHTF. That would have made the movie five out of five stars for me instead of four. In one of the interviews I watched over the years regarding this movie, John Carpenter said that during the shoot there was only one woman present on the crew, and she was pregnant and had to leave very early on. He estimated that 90-95% of principal photography was just men. He said it wasn't intentional, it just happened that way. He also said that it gave the movie a very different vibe during the filming, and I think that carries over into the finished product as well. |
