REEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[squeee.. squeeEEEE!!!]

But seriously though Mack fucked up not having them tied down in separate chairs far away from each other. Garry, Nauls and Childs are damn lucky that they got to live the extra hour or three.

I AIN'T GOIN' WITH HIM! I'll go with Childs.

>>78950428

Repeat viewings reward recognition of the fact that the deliverer of the film's best comic and "human" line, Palmer, is himself a Thing at the moment that he says it, and is just minutes away from being wasted just as Norris was, and as Spiderhead is about to be.

It imitates organisms, and it imitates them perfectly. Down to the quips and wisecracks.

what the fuck was his problem?

>>78951262
Getting shot in the head, because he was the only one man enough to stand up to Mac.

>>78951262
He watched his dogs get assimilated then burned alive

What makes you Thing fans love this movie so muh? Me, I think I dig the ensemble cast the most - a bunch of great actors made me feel like I was one of them, part of their struggle.

>>78952899
It was an all bro cast. No whiny chicks to fuck up everything.

1) He was a simple man, trapped in an impossible death scenario with others. He had exactly the same problem as all of his fellows, augmented slightly by his own simplicity.

2) Even though there were (happily) no women around to force the men to subconsciously compete with each other/have their egos bruised and so on, nevertheless there was a pecking order. Clark was dead last in that pecking order, just as Brett was dead last in the pecking order among the crew of the film Alien.

Let's think this through, in simple terms of MASCULINE COOP/COMPETETIVE POWER, totally absent a meaningful female influence. Let's imagine a schema of how the men perceive one another, on a tiered pecking order:

TOP DOGS: Garry (armed, official status, holds all the keys), MacReady (pilot, ex-mil, strong and able-bodied, even-tempered, trusted, can actually leave and offer people a way out - gets to have his very own shack)

THE BRAINS: Blair, Copper

THE LESSER BRAINS: Bennings, Norris, Fuchs (they get paid more than the below I'm sure)

---POWER GAP INTO PLEBS---

cont.

>>78952899
The cast, the sense of isolation, no token females around to fuck up the tension, the prac. effects, and the genius direction and editing. One of the best movies ever made.

>>78953969

THE RELIABLE TECH/HEAVY: Childs. Childs is "le angry black man" but little contextual cues make clear that he is the stablest mechanic of the group, adds value, and is important. He also never actually flips out, which is more than can be said for most others.

THE COOK: Nauls annoys his fellows, but is basically trusted to help. He is not /distrusted/. Palmer and Windows are justifiably /distrusted/ to perform their essential job functions.

THE DISTRUSTED: Palmer is presented as a "hail-mary, option of last resort" backup pilot. This is why he tags along masked for the second trip out, in between smoking dope, being twitchy, etc. Still, he has a rapport with Childs, and has some actual skills (the trouble being that no one dares put him to the test). Windows is emotional, slow on the trigger-finger, and generally useless. Also anyone can operate a radio.

THE DOG KEEPER: Clark. someone has to do it. Clark becomes distrusted due to the events. "hey Clark do X" "kay boss". Monosyllabic, Clark is portrayed as a total dumbo.

The film character of Clark is also an amalgam of the anonymous "shit-job" characters of the short story. It's just all rolled into one in Clark, really, although Clark is admittedly one among a few untrusteds, and his reason for being untrusted is not PRIOR to the events of the film, as in Palmer's case, and perhaps Windows' (as described in the screenplay).

I LOVE this blatant trolling! I LOVE your pasta!! I have no idea why you feel the need to pick on Clark...must be some sort of prejudice against--what? Dogs? People who take care of dogs?? Or were you simply fooled by the red herring?

This was the best on-screen romantic tragedy.

Fair enough. I thought he was saying Childs was assimilated, not that he froze to death after the movie ended.

Not sure if I follow but Garry is the one who complains about being tied to this fucking couch

>>78957492
Palmer said "You gotta be fucking kidding."

>>78957688
But the best comic and "human" line is the line about the couch

>>78957945
It's not human anymore if the aliens can do it perfectly like us. But yes it is the best comic line of the movie.

>>78957945
Well, when it comes to 'best', anon, you will find many different yet equally valid idears....some would say the best line is Mac's 'cheating bitch' at the beginning, others would say Blair's 'that thing wanted to be USSSSS!!!!'
Best is a dangerous word.
