Lime Tonics posted:https://twitter.com/Dillon_Hayes/status/792811449735340032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw I was watching this game on TV. Coulda swore I saw a dildo, but figured I was seeing things. Then the announcers were stuff like, "I don't think it's a flag, it didn't look yellow." And I knew it was actually a dildo. Stay classy, Buffalo.

I had a big argument with a colleague (we're both UX designers) about amazon dash buttons when they launched last year. He thought they were the future of shopping, I thought they were bullshit. (When they were first announced, it was April Fool's Day and I legitimately thought they were amazon being self-aware and poking fun at the horrors of capitalism. Alas.) He's been suspiciously silent on the matter now that they're floundering and nobody uses them.

Late to the party, but I saw The Thing on the big screen earlier in the month and the entire audience was laughing at the blood testing scene, but it wasn't ironic. It was a JESUS CHRIST, WHAT THE gently caress IS EVEN HAPPENING mass hysteria kind of laugh. That movie is out of control.

I can't see how people wouldn't laugh at the blood test scene, what with the shiny fake hand when McCready is supposedly holding a blood sample. Bottin had the right idea begging the cinematographer to not put any lights on the creatures ever.

The Thing owns, and good horror should be a little funny, because it should be grotesque and bizarre in ways that aren't far from comedy. This is why I love Junji Ito.

How can a button that does nothing more complicated than place a "buy-it-now" order capable of floundering? Even if people didn't immediately adapt, there's not much overhead on the idea.

I think they made one that's just for you to program to do whatever you want it to do to like teach kids to program. I have one for cat litter because having the UPS guy drop 40 lbs of litter at my door beats running to the store.

I watched it again because of TWR announcing they were going to it, and if you strip away the nostalgia it really doesn't hold up. The effects are funny, people die with everyone else saying  over it, plots exist without any narrative justification (how is blowing up a building going to keep things warm?), and an ending that even the makers wrote an alternative ending because they knew people would get depressed about.

The effects are funny, people die with everyone else saying I didn't see it until 5 years ago as a grown adult, so it has zero nostalgia for me, and I re-watch it regularly. It still holds up to me, but that's personal taste. As for your plot questions, I'm not really sure how to answer them. I don't recall anyone blowing up a building with the goal of keeping warm. There's plenty of gaps in the story for the audience to fill in and speculate as to who is assimilated and at what point (because that's the point of the film - it's a paranoia thriller) but there's plenty of clues along the way, at no time did it feel random or unmotivated to me. The ending is fantastic too.

The effects are funny, people die with everyone else saying I appreciate this post. Get the bad opinions out there so I know to ignore any other posts or recommendations, so thanks for saving everyone's time. I think the nostalgia argument for The Thing is stupid. It's a great film on it's own merits, just because people were lucky to see it when it was fresh and remembers that fondly doesn't mean it hasn't held up as one of the best horror movies ever.

^ You mean the one that had a actual valid-looking Thing? Lizard Combatant posted:I don't recall anyone blowing up a building with the goal of keeping warm. So you missed the scene where Kurt Russell says they need to blow up the building (forgetting the unconnected buildings exist) in order to keep the temperatures up?

If anything, The Thing suffers from a lack of clues for most of its deaths. How did Fuchs die? It's a mystery. Who was the first to be assimilated? It's a mystery. Who got to the blood? It's a mystery. Why didn't the humans go into the spaceship? It is a mystery. Too many out-of-the-blue unresolved mysteries are the epitome of bad writing. I get it, the movie was a flop so it got Nerd Cred for loving what the normies didn't, but that doesn't absolve the flaws of the film. Hell, the answer to Who Got Assimilated First is given anti-evidence, because they used Dick Warlock as the dude's shadow because David Clennon's face made a too obvious shadow.

Guy Goodbody posted:What the gently caress does "valid-looking" mean? Looking like a thing that can be anything at a moments notice, without cutaways, and not looking like there's a puppeteer inside or underneath it. You know, valid for what the creature is supposed to be. Guy Goodbody posted:That's stupid, not having all the information is incredibly important. You don't know who exactly is the Thing or when. It's like, the movie's whole dea. Don't apologize for bad writing. If the writer is being lazy by not providing answers (you know, the whole point of a movie), it's okay to not like that.

I don't know what movie you've seen, but they blow up the base to freeze the Thing. Good job on getting the climax completely wrong, uncross your eyes next time you try watching something.
