Thumbs up The Thing

The Thing has got to be one of my all time favorite sci-fi movies with the alien series in a close second. What makes this movie so great is it's feel of inclosed paranoia and wonderful make up effects by Rob boton(spelling:confused: ) and of course John Carpenter and Kurt Russel. Some say the movie is long and boring but I find the paceing to be dead on. The alien orginisim it's self is very complex in which I like because each cell is a living part and you don't know who is an alien which makes for great suspense. I for one am glad they are not going to make a sequel because they would just use cgi, so I'm happy they made a game instead which by the way is very fun yet hard and is 10X better then Resident evil. I give The Thing a 4 out of 4. I would like to hear some of your opinions about the movie:)

It's Bottin. He's an F/X god.

The Thing is a classic. Too bad Sci-fi is supposed to remake it as a 6 hour mini.

THE THING

Very cool to see other THING fans on here. This one is quite possibly my favorite film of all time. I *never* get sick of watching it. Terrifying stuff . . . .

I thought 'The Thing' was great! The effects were way ahead of its time. Kurt Russell did an amazing job, as usual. It's also cool that Keith David (from movies like 'They Live' & Pitch Black') was in this one too.

the thing...an amazing movie, i just hate the norwegians in it...couldnt they have put finns in it so us vikings didnt understand the whole plot the first 4 mins?
the special fx are still great if you ask me by any standard.
its just a movie i can watch over and over again cause of the feeling, total paranoia and yet another movie that apeals to your mind.
