    I love the way it’s always assumed that a remake of The Thing would do some kind of service/disservice to John Carpenter.

    He made a fucking remake. If someone else does a remake, it’s fucking whatever. Carpenter did a fantastic fucking remake, but it’s still a remake.

    Like if someone remade The Fly. Cronenberg did a fantastic job. Is it his fucking film? No. It was a remake.

      Friend. I am not going that deep. I like both him and Jordan as directors. I know there is like a “the thing” movie before the one I am talking about with sexy Kurt Russel and Devilishly handsome Keith David, who also voiced the awesome Arbiter in Halo.

      I just know that one and love it a lot and would love for a talented artist to do one or continue the story with little cgi. I like that type of horror, which is all my dude.
