The Thing

Anyone remember the original back in the early 80's?

 

Surprised I haven't even seen a trailer yet for it.

The John Carpenter movie was from 1982, and was also a remake (The Thing From Another World, 1951).

To young but looks like a decent trailer...

 

The 1982 movie was dubbed the scariest movie of all time (debatable), and is still an excellent movie. It's hard to say that about a lot of movies from the 80's.

Ahh good call. I was too young to remember the whole movie. I just remembered Kurt Russell was in it.

 

Hey Eli, that poker thing you got still going on?

Not at this hour on a Thursday night, but yes, it is. :)

 

We are having a freeroll in September, come out and play for free.

 

PM me with the website or address and I'll make it out. Maybe bring a few friends if that's ok with you.

I still remember the most of the 1st one. Awesome damn movie. The detached, upside down head with spider legs... fuckin' awesome. :masturboy:

 

Little side notes:

Anyone remember the move The Stuff? It was another crazy 'we found some shit in the arctic' movie. I remember the tag line was "Are you eating it or is it eating you." If you know someone who loves yogurt, it's a good movie. lol

 

Also, for a moment there, I thought we were talking about Swamp Thing until I started watching the trailer. haha

FYI, this is NOT a remake. It's essentially a prequel. This movie follows the team that first finds The Thing and it's spacecraft. I'm a huge fan of this movie, it's my favorite scary movie of all time. The special effects, I believe, still stand up to today's CGI garbage... :nod:
