This movie defied 80s horror convention. No girls for gratuitous sex and nudity, bleak as hell ending, and two black main characters who don’t die immediately - one makes it to the end, the other almost does. My favorite movie of all time.

You think Childs makes it to the end, or does he? Hell, we aren’t even totally sure that’s really MacReady...

Couple of days ago there was a story about scientists working in Antarctica. Apparently only skeleton crew stays there during the long winter. After the last planes have left they are stuck there for several months. No possibility of leaving or getting more supplies. At this point they have annual tradition of watching the Thing together.
This is pretty brilliant idea. But it seems that they watch the 50's version instead of the newer version. If I would be there I would demand the newer version shown too. Maybe exactly at the mid point of the winter.

A classic. One of the flicks that turned Russell’s career. I agree the ‘82 version was best.

Easily one of my favorites. My wife refuses to watch it again, so my daughter watched it with me. Then we saw the new one together and had a great time.

Oh man. I’ve only seen that movie once, at an indie theatre after a midnight showing of Halloween. 10/10, would recommend watching in an old theatre.
