The Thing 2011

Ok but way too easy to guess who was turned and the ending felt rushed.

Never got why they felt like they needed to remake a remake. The 1982 remake is excellent and still holds up. The 1950's film has it's charm still.

Would have been better if it was simply set in a different camp following its own story if they felt the need to make a film at all. The few nods towards things in the 80's version were good but again film felt un needed.


As yes the other 2 still hold up in their own way.

Inbreeding is going to keep on happening even if its unnecessary. But I thought this one was a prequel?

I heard that too but then the reviews said it's the exact film scene for scene.

Chocolate (2008).

It's a lame version of "The Protector". Story sucks and the fight choreography is not very good, surprisingly. It looks very staged and controlled. Not spontaneous, like the better martial arts films do it.

Yep set in the camp before the last one but also seem to make 1 giant plot hole out of the 2 while also having some cool nods to the 80's version

I liked the original 50s version. "The Thing From Another World".
Caught it on TCM once, I think, and it was actually pretty watchable. Cheesy, sure, but still kinda fun.

Watching a couple of Bob Hope movies.

This man is so unfunny, it hurts.

Disagree. Honestly I think it's sad some of yesterdays humor is lost on many morons these days. If it's nto a kick to the balls it's not funny. I go watch I love lucy and it's still hilarious. Little Rascals still great. TBH despite the jokes here. My fave humor is the clever jokes they used to do.

I grew up with "I Love Lucy". Its quality. So are acts like Laurel and Hardy.

This shit is terrible, however. If anyone finds this funny, they probably find Wizard of ID or Family Circus hilarious.
