Coulis posted:At the end of The Thing, only Kurt Russell & Keith David apparently survived but they have no way of knowing if the other is human or the thing. So they wait facing each other in the middle of the burning camp. As a counterpoint, I haven't watched the first film for a while but I seem to recall that the second film resolved the mystery by establishing that the Thing is unable to replicate metal objects such as teeth fillings and earrings, the latter being a major plot point in the third act of the 2011 film. In the first film, Keith David had his earring on in the last scene. Speaking of The Thing, I don't know if it was supposed to be subtle as I didn't catch it the first time watching it (which may mean I'm just  ), but when the crew went out to visit Wilford Brimley in his little shed he had a noose hanging in the background and kept going "I'm okay now." At first glance it sounds like Brimley was totally over being suicidal and wants to survive like the rest. The scene is actually broadcasting the fact that he has already died and been assimilated, hence his no longer needing a noose, and he wants to join the rest because he wants to kill all of them.

FreshFeesh posted:Two moments in Prometheus I thought were certainly worthy of praise: Just watched this last night and a subtle thing happened in the first act: Charlize Theron, after emerging from her sleep and doing push ups, asks the robot if "there are any casualties", clearly hoping there was at least one prominent death.
