Movie Thread

[Elhuero]

Just finished watching The Thing (1982) because of that list I posted. What a great movie. I bet that movie was AWESOME back in 1982.

The last few times I've camped up at Pawnee, it reminded me of The Thing, and I hadn't even seen it until tonight. I had the feeling about right. Cold, middle of nowhere, can't see what's outside your shack, no electricity. Yay.

they're doin' a remake

It's not a remake, it's a prequel. Read that list I posted already.

"The Thing" was originally made in the late '50's (?) with James Arness in the title role. Good movie, but different slant in detail than the 1982 version. The latter is more true to the original science fiction novella, I think written by James Campbell way back in the '30's or '40's. Read it when I was a kid in the early '70's. Good read.

I read up on all that after I watched the '82 version, and was wondering if the book was any good.

I saw this one, at the local theater, as a kid. Spent a lot of time under the seat as I remember.

Watched Skyline last night. There are some good stories in the naked city. This ain't one of them. I give it .


Anyone ever seen Night of the Lepus? Giant mutant rabbits terrorize dessert ranchers. Pretty fun at Easter. As Joe Bob Briggs would say, "There was a lot of ketchup-fu in that movie.".

Watched The Fighter last night. That was the most excruciating 2hr 28min 25sec of my life. Bad doesn't even begin to describe this poop fest. I don't see what all the hype was about, other than all the actors can play really farking annoying characters. Even the the cute, barmaid love interest was like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.

Despite my utter hate for any creature with those accents I actually thought it was a decent movie. The one thing that was a big let down was the total exclusion of his fights with Gatti. You're gonna make a movie about a guy who was involved in one of the best fight series in history but make no mention of it till the credits roll? Come on

Intent for a sequel?
