The Thing Plot Synopsis:

A US research station, Antarctica, early-winter 1982. The base is suddenly buzzed by a helicopter from the nearby Norwegian research station. They are trying to k*ll a dog that has escaped from their base. After the destruction of the Norwegian chopper the members of the US team fly to the Norwegian base, only to discover them all dead or missing. They do find the remains of a strange creature the Norwegians burned. The Americans take it to their base and deduce that it is an alien life form. After a while it is apparent that the alien can take over and assimilate into other life forms, including humans, and can spread like a virus. This means that anyone at the base could be inhabited by The Thing, and tensions escalate.

• where👏🏽 is👏🏽 that👏🏽 dog's👏🏽 oscar

• 100

  'Nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired.'

• Fantastic companion to Alien, I appreciate new details every time I rewatch. Horror creature classic.

• This was..a blast. Such a great time.
  Watched on unrestored 70mm in a packed and very sweaty theatre. Two minutes in I realized I was thirsty and thought to myself 'I'll find a dull moment to get up and go grab some water' but here's the twist..

  there was no dull part.

• I mean, what new comments could I have to make about The Thing? These creature effects are absolutely unparalleled. One of the best scripted and most tense horror-thrillers ever made. Carpenter is working the fuck out of those split-diopter shots. Funny that two of these characters are named 'Windows' and 'Mac,' huh? Sorry, not 'funny.' What's the word. 'Notable.' No, not that either. It's something!

  Was surprised this was a Morricone score, I think I'd always assumed it was Carpenter, even though I've seen it before and it says up top that it's Morricone. His score is mostly invisible here (I should really watch Cinema Paradiso or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) but when it isn't, it works…

• R.J. MacReady, a cowboy pilot doing battle with some fuckin Thing in John fuckin Carpenter's atmospheric horror classic. A fast dog. J&B scotch straight from the bottle. Checkmate mutha fucka. The one fuckin time you really needed a Norwegian translator. Mac's hat. Wilford Brimley before diabetes. Nauls is very superstitious. Clark the dog whisperer. A sad-face doggy massacre. The way Childs says mother fucker. Flamethrowers will fuck you up. An Invasion of the Body Snatchers-esque scream. When a man bleeds it's just tissue. A tense-as-fuck blood test. A defibrillation gone to fuck. Window's last view. The accidental head-shot. A spaceship in the middle of an igloo. A final battle with the good doctor. Fuck you too Thing! Making it out of Hell only to freeze your ass off. One last conversation with your friend before calling it a night. My favorite holy-fuck-whose-the-fucker-infected-by-some-fuckin-alien-like-thingy film.

• This is the first time I've actually seen Wilford Brimley in something that isn't a YouTube Poop

• if i walked into a theater in 1982 and they played this shit i would send john carpenter a thank you card with my therapy bills enclosed

• my dog: *looks at me*

  me: how do i know you're not..... The Thing (1982)

• Imagine a place so frigid, so shut off from the world, where survival for a team of scientists on a good day depends on their fellow scientists!

  Now imagine a bad day that literally turns into some sick twisted minds worst nightmare! You can no longer trust your fellow scientists! You have no where to turn and you're running out of options fast! You can't escape and rescue is not possible til spring! And you're not even sure you'll make it through the night!

  Now imagine Carpenter with a sadistic grin on his face as the waves of horror hit us one after the other with the catastrophic force of a tsunami!

  Now imagine me shaking my fist in the…
