The THING that is, specifically, the remake. John Carpenters Thang ya'll. I remember back in 81 or so when it was released and man did that movie skeer me. Why I thought my gal pal at the time might start sprouting king crab legs and tenticles and... But, she just assimilated my thang an we fell asleep. I like the original too. Ole Jim Arness was perfect playing a manevolent carrot. But I think the remake is better and more true to the short story. That's what John Carpenter said anyway. I've never read it. Anybody ever read "Who Goes There"?
