John Carpenter's The Thing was one of a handful of movies I saw as a kid that really scared the poop right out of me and turned me off to horror films altogether. When the one guy's chest opens up and bites off the other guys arms, I nearly had a heart attack. That entire sequence still gives me nightmares. After many years, I manned up and watched the film again and fell right in love with it. I saw the corny 1951 original (in glorious black and white), and I bought and played the heck out of the awesome video game on the original Xbox. Now, some insane Frenchmen have recreated the movie in six minutes using GI Joes and stop motion. The music is lame and annoying, but the video itself is utterly incredible.
Stories come from life experiences. Here are mine. My respects to all friends, and confusion to all enemies.
