My last thoughts on The Thing before I go to sleep; great movie overall with a fascinating setup (preexisting group isolation) and a realistic way that things like trust and communication would break down. FANTASTIC practical effects!! That shit was gnarly for real. This movie being a group of only men really adds to it as an almost case study bit. They all think THEY can lead/take charge of the situation. Individualistic as opposed to an actual group effort. The ending being vague like that did make me question if there was actually more time left in the actual movie, but when I gave it some more thought, I kinda like the open-endedness of it. #najmwatches #thething
✨🍭🕷️ WAHOO 🕷️🍭✨
✨🍭🕷️ Well you see. it's my favorite movie ]^) i enjoyed seeing your thoughts!!!! 🕷️🍭✨
✨🍭🕷️ Not much different from your take, although the gendered aspect is a little less relevant. We're kind of all encouraged to be mistrusting of each other regardless of whatever identities we have. Ooh but the ending!!!! Okay so there are two prevalent theories RE whether or not Childs is a thing. Theory one, Thing Childs, points to how Mac's breath is crazy visible in the air and Childs has nothing. Theory two, Human Childs, is that the cinematographer made a point throughout the movie of filming later confirmed things in such a way that they had no light in their eyes, and Childs has eye shines in the final scene. I personally find the human Childs theory more compelling, but the narrative implications of Childs being a thing and giving up to just die with Mac is wayyy more interesting OH OH you might like to read The Things!!!!! It's a short story retelling the movie but from the Thing's perspective https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/watts_01_10/ I think it's awesome ]^) 🕷️🍭✨
Oooooooo, that’s really interesting. I didn’t super notice a Shine In Their Eyes ngl, but that’s worth a rewatch to look more at the details. The end though I really like. My personal thought is that no one survives. Either they make a suicide pact if they’re both human. Or Mac uses the alcohol to burn Thing!Childs and then waits out for the storm to claim him in an effort to also make sure there’s nothing else moving that shouldn’t be. But the last one you mentioned of both Mac and Childs(?) both giving up? Both being tired and calling it quits? That’s fascinating. But, the caveat being that if it was indeed Thing!Childs, him waiting out to die in the cold with Mac and freezing wouldn’t matter, he could just as easily be defrosted eventually by some rescue crew and the cycle restarts. Much to think about. THERES A SHORT STORY FROM THE THING’S PERSPECTIVE?? Omg I’ll be putting that on my read list immediately. Thank you! #cw-suicide
Scary… Good movie though! #najmwatches #thething
It really has been a Mac vs The Thing movie this whole time hasn’t it #najmwatches #thething
✨🍭🕷️ he's such a beautiful man 🕷️🍭✨
EW. IN THE MOUTH???????? AUGH. That’s one way to keep someone quiet and not scream in an echo chamber though #najmwatches #thething
Ohhh they’re doing the classic TNT method ok, I can get behind that #najmwatches #thething
This whole movie has me frowning #najmwatches #thething
There’s NO WAY these guys are just drawing blood without any kind of gloves or sanitation. Ew #najmwatches #thething
My other hot take in situations like these is that your scientist or medical personal should be the first people you protect. Not to be biased or anything but you’re more likely to die from septic shock without them before surviving this situation OH MY GOD NOT THE STOMACH MOUTH AAAAAA GOOD GOD #najmwatches #thething
I see where Among Us got the overall idea from though, this makes sense #najmwatches #thething
Genuinely though I really can’t blame the doctor for crashing out like that. By his statistics, the human race was fucked. He just had 0 communication skills about it. Objectively, quarantining was actually the best bet but whatever #najmwatches #thething
Oh someone did something to the helicopter didn’t they. Aw fuck was that a gunshot #najmwatches #thething
I’ll be real? They should have also used a really corrosive acid to break those things down. Whatever #najmwatches #thething
✨🍭🕷️ i feel like they might not have had that as readily available as fire 🕷️🍭✨
This is supposed to be a laboratory outpost with everything a group of men would need from medical to food to whatever with full surgical capabilities to last them for several months at a time bare minimum. They would by necessity have to have something like a really strong acid in stock/at hand
✨🍭🕷️ Yeah but like The supply of that would be more limited than just. Fire. Is what I'm saying 🕷️🍭✨
✨🍭🕷️ SO TRUE 🕷️🍭✨
“You can’t burn the find of the century” UH. YEAH ACTUALLY. YOU SHOULD HAVE. OR PUT IT OUT IN THE ICE A FEW HUNDRED FEET BELOW BARE MINIMUM. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU ARE ALL STUPID #najmwatches #thething
These practical effects are soooo good though #najmwatches #thething
Oh my fucking god. Oh my fucking GOD. That went to hell real gross real fast. There is only one (1) guy among them with a cool enough head in this fucked situation #najmwatches #thething
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCL WHAT THE DOG DOING TO THE DOGS AAAA #najmwatches #thething
✨🍭🕷️ #histwizzlers 🕷️🍭✨
hes thinging out
What the dog doin #najmwatches #thething
dog is a real vast word here.
If they made me autopsy the fucked up burnt corpse of a creature. Well. They’d have to pay me to leave when I’m done #najmwatches #thething
Every time I see the dog I keep saying to myself “what the dog doin” #najmwatches #thething
✨🍭🕷️ TRULY. WHAT IS HE DOING???? 🕷️🍭✨
Good god that is one mangled frozen body #najmwatches #thething
