Why The Thing Prequel will shit the bed pt1

It’s all about gayness Bob, who’s the gay in the group now?

You are.

A legitimate complaint about this prequel, from a story perspective, would be if it carbon copied the original scenario instead of looking at it from a unique perspective. And then your complaint is that a woman would change the original’s perspective and alter its dynamic.

This is a *positive*, you idiot. We *want* there to be a different dynamic. We *want* the story to have a different perspective in any way that it wishes, even if it’s just for the solitude element. It’s been 30 years since Carpenter’s and I’m perfectly fine with a new team of artists taking a crack at it all, but anything that diverts the story from the original is a *positive*.But that’s another problem…you’re assuming that the prequel’s “bold step” is to cast a female lead. As if that was their vision, “The Thing, starring a woman”. In reality you have no idea what their vision is and’ve only seen a teaser cut together by who knows who, and just like every other uppity nerd on the Internet are quick to dislike because *that’s the fuel you fly on*.You’re jumping the gun here, kid. Wait until it’s bad before you pull the trigger. Also, stop pretending like “our generation” invented stale art. As if you have any idea what the actual ratio of shitty to inspired has been in the last 100 years of film.

Who gave this guy a website.

Go *fuck* yourself. I didn’t even read your comment. Too long and boring. 

Hear hear, fuck the remake machine – next it’ll be a remake of the fast and furious 5 even tho it was only out where all the men are played by girls, all the cars are made into men who say: rrrrrinnn yinyinyinyinnnnnnnn, and everyone else is a vampire.

I saw an ad for another dopey remake yesterday, can’t remember what it was. I just watched the trailer again, from the producers of Dawn of the Dead remake!

Agree with you about the mere gender change of the lead chcaracter, I guess Hollywood thinks the 18-30 males demographic needs some skit to look at?

He done gone called you an ‘uppity nerd’, Bob!  Them’s fightin’ (if potentially accurate) words!

neh still can’t read it all but I presume the girl that wrote it hasn’t seen the film either. And I’m way ahead of the nerd angle, wait for the conclusion

Takes one to know one.

Well if they wanted a different scenario bub why didn’t they make a different film that’s not the Thing or why even set it in the Antarctic? As far as  ”The Thing, starring a woman” argument, didn’t they all ready do that with Alien?

Apparently there are two birds in it

How about the “reboot” of spiderman and superman!?! Those were only out a few years ago. Have they even been on RTE yet?

Guest? That’s lame. ’round here, we sling mud with our names attached, least that way the gay bashers can find you if you step outta line. 

Team of artists is funny though. Cracked me up. Real artists. Especially the guy who spent a month photoshopping the pimples of yer woman’s arse in the obligatory sex/shower scene. 

Yeah thats mad. Plus the Hulk. But that xmen film and Planet of the Apes were great

The last X-Men? Yeah, it was good, but they were due one after X-Men 3 and Wolverine. Comic “reboots” every five years are retarded, but what really winds me up are these remakes. The Thing is The Thing. Make a new fuckin movie rather than piggy-backing on “cache” and “cred” with “cult viewers”. I hate that everything has to be some retro or throwback gimmick, like we can’t process new shit any more.

And hollywood remakes of non-american movies licks ass. Remember Quarantine? Shite movie that only exists cus Hollywood thinks people are too dumb or lazy to watch a good spanish flick with subtitles.

Also: the new spiderman Miles Morales can suck my bawls.

Thor was decent too, probably the best of the ‘superhero’ lot -not a patch on …Apes though- but X-Men was only half of a decent film edited into a mess of crap secondary mutants and situations that should never have left the script-page. They’d've been better-off concentrating on the principals, developing their ralationships more and making the film tighter. The worst thing about X-Men has always been crap characters mixed in with great ones, this should’ve been realised, distilled and ironed out for such expensive films that really are different visions than the comics and arguably better or should be, would’ve made more money too if they’d thought about it.

or make a new ‘Thing’ in a different situation/place like New York/L.A./Belfast/Kerry/Tallaght…

Totally agree. They turn into complete fuckfests by the end of all of them. Crappy characters all over the kip. Magneto’s pullin subs out of the water – I don’t need any more to keep me focused. 

Deadpool in Wolverine made me angry. And nerd anger is the worst kind.

Exactly. Set it in the future or something

Hey did you cop Magnetos Dublin accent? I thought the film was deadly.

Yeah, it was good. Only let down by the dumb superflous characters. I like yer man Fassbender. Shit name though. He’d have been killed in my school.

i agree with pretty much any argument against the REMAKE of the thingi will argue on the side of Satan himself if he’d argue against the movie
