the thing (1982) brainrot is SO dangerous. what do you mean its all i can think about? i have biology work to do. but no, im thinking about palmer thing
this is what i get for having a special interest in a movie that doesnt have a lot of readily available content to explore
The ideal first date is the final scene of The Thing. If we aren't sharing a drink as we freeze to death in the ruins of an Antarctic station in hope of keeping a parasitic alien from reaching civilisation, then I don't want it.
Who Goes There? (1938), the novella by John W. Campbell, writing as Don A. Stuart, is a classic of science fiction horror. It has been adapted at least four times for film - The Thing From Another World (1951), The Thing (1982; the famous John Carpenter version), The Thing (2011; a prequel to Carpenter's film), and Horror Express (1972) - but none of those films depicted the alien monster as described in Campbell's story.
Below are two of the most accurate representations of The Thing that I have found.
The first is this depiction by famed Hollywood storyboard artist (and HUGE monster fan) Pete Von Sholly. It was used as the design for a 4 1/2" model released by Dark Horse. The model itself was sculpted by his wife, Andrea Von Sholly. Below the model kit is an excellent, if fake, cover for an issue of Classics Illustrated that I'd love to own using Von Sholly's artwork.
The second image is by Wayne Barlowe from his seminal work Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials (1979; revised 1987). It shows The Thing in mid-transformation into a sled dog, something we saw in both the 1982 and 2011 films.

i think ultimately the saddest [scariest? most upsetting to think about?] part of the thing is that like. it takes u cell by cell. even if it has control of all of your muscles, maybe parts of your skin or your blood or your brain are still human. maybe through all that blood and gore and not having control over your own limbs, you're still alive. maybe when Norris' stomach split open he was still conscious and confused and scared and trying SO hard to tell his friends that it wasn't him, he'd never try to hurt them. maybe he and palmer and bennings died afraid and agonizing not just because they were in pain but because they were causing pain to people they cared about. anyway anyone else feel like crying tonight
