MisterBibs posted: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? Must have done. I think they left that scene out of my copy. e: MisterBibs posted:^ You mean the one that had a actual valid-looking Thing? lol

ro5s posted: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. Um... quote:MacReady: Not for that Thing. It wants to freeze now. It knows it's got no way out of here. It just wants to go to sleep in the cold until the rescue team finds it. So they proceed to blow up the building (but not all of them) to keep things warm, despite blowing up buildings making it colder. Kinda content, given that videos are just really fast images: this is what they wanted, initially, for the effects on the 2011 Thing. See, that's just funny.

Its a goddamn turn of phrase for blowing the alien to hell. Are you for real? Edit: I'm starting to realize that this is probably an elaborate troll job, and I accept my complicity in its perpetuation.

e: ^ don't care if it is, I'll still defend it Seriously? He doesn't mean to literally raise the temperature a few degrees, he means to blow the gently caress out of the thing. Though fair enough if you're replying to the poster on the last page who mistakenly thought freezing it was the plan. Lizard Combatant has a new favorite as of 15:33 on Oct 31, 2016 |

I get it, you haven't seen the movie lately, with its scenes of setting random poo poo on fire and randomly throwing TNT around before heading to the generator.

This is going to sound like an insult, but it's really not. It's a serious question. Is English not your first language, or are you developmentally disabled in some way?

Yes, the imminent lack of fire is a bad thing. They're hoping they got it. Childs may also be the thing

I'm just capable of not letting my nostalgia for a film absolve bad writing and/or creating bizarre readings of rather clear-cut dialogue (blow up building to make sure monster can't freeze) accordingly. It's a skill, I suppose. I still love the movie, but watching it with a modicum of critical thought makes it not hold up. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 15:40 on Oct 31, 2016 |

It's a skill, I suppose. Yes, they're gonna make sure the monster can't freeze by killing it in an explosion. That's their plan. Your interpretation doesn't make any sense. You've created a bizarre, nonsensical reading of a very obvious piece of dialogue, and then attacked it for not making sense.

Remember, the only time an explosion was directed at the Thing was after the plan to set fire to everything failed. Content:

MisterBibs posted: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. Bad writing, as defined not by whether it succeeds at its goal but by a checklist in my textbook.

There are two options, either MisterBibs misinterpreted a line of dialogue in a movie, or there's a vast conspiracy of people who are openly lying to propagate the absurd myth that The Thing is a good movie, and only MisterBibs is honest enough to speak the truth

I was there for all the Lost threads and a lot of movie threads and one thing has been consistent. Goons are bad at watching TV.

Guy Goodbody posted:MisterBibs is honest enough to speak the truth As with most things, it's this. Especially since nobody saw either Thing movie enough to count its viewership as "vast" over anything, leading to those that did see and like the film developing a innate compulsion to ignore clear dialogue to believe that a dumb plot point was totally not dumb. I suppose crashing the bulldozer into the side of the building was part of the plan to keep the Thing contained, by this logic.

If liked The Thing, then you might enjoy a short story from the other perspective. http://escapepod.org/2011/06/23/ep298-the-things/

mr bibs somehow nearly died trying to eat a hot dog, twice, on back to back occasions, years apart, and brought this up like it was a completely normal thing that happens to every adult human.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I had food impaction due to an immune disorder, twice, and I brought it up in the schadenfreude thread because it doesn't happen to every adult human, since said immune disorder is rare as poo poo. Like understanding movies, reading is a skill. Content, not sure how to link this direct: http://m.imgur.com/gallery/SiZl7U7 MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 18:07 on Oct 31, 2016 |

DontMockMySmock posted:Or maybe it's the endless problems with writing, characterization, and directing that they painstakingly point out for hours. No, they said Not My Star Wars for hours. They gave a segment of the population who just wanted to say Not My Star Wars in a painstakingly verbose way that way to do it. Of course, it's just Not My Star Wars, over and over, for hours, like a multi-hour Best of Sheldon Cooper marathon. As for sand, I have no opinion. This elephant might. (I found the last one funny, but can't crop it. Sorry.)

I recommend we perform some kind of blood test to check this theory.
