I heartily recommend the 1951 version as well. 2011's? Not so much.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-64718744281217830252012-01-16T00:21:05.597-05:002012-01-16T00:21:05.597-05:00Quite the in depth interview!

Thank YOU, my friend! And you better believe we'll fire up the Blu-Ray when you hit these shores! Popcorn and a couple of beers...each...at a time!<br /><br />Nicole - Thank you so much! I love this movie a lot, and Bottin truly is a genius - a word bandied about too often - but totally deserved here. The man nearly killed himself pulling those effects off! I appreciate you joining the blog too - please come by often, and feel free to comment whenever the mood strikes you!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-26711745704542142572012-01-15T15:29:29.342-05:002012-01-15T15:29:29.342-05:00I just came from Maynard's lovely blog and tha...I just came from Maynard's lovely blog and that was a great interview!!<br /><br />The Thing is an amazing film!! I am sooo thrilled that you mentioned Rob Bottin's work. I'm a big special effects nerd and his work on that film was like you said, genius!✗✗https://www.blogger.com/profile/15322140048379475542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-85207945869358464802012-01-15T11:39:49.529-05:002012-01-15T11:39:49.529-05:00Thanks for mentioning my little blog, I feel honor...Thanks for mentioning my little blog, I feel honored!!!<br /><br />I plan on doing a holiday in the USA sometime in the next few years.

I cannot even tell you how many times I have watched. That blood test scene still get me every time. And fave lines have to be Clark: "I dunno what the hell is in there, but it's weird and it's pissed off, whatever it is." and MacCready as the Thing roars at him. "Yeah, fuck you, too!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-22150783177620680972012-01-14T21:32:33.410-05:002012-01-14T21:32:33.410-05:00Luana - it is a really wild movie - I would love t...Luana - it is a really wild movie - I would love to hear what you think when you see it! One small warning - the movie is very violent. I hope that doesn't put you off watching it since it seems it would be right up your alley.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721496858742471361.post-71170692928003257512012-01-14T10:48:15.162-05:002012-01-14T10:48:15.162-05:00I've never seen this but it looks spectacular!...I've never seen this but it looks spectacular! I love how the best suspenseful plots are those where the protagonists are in a location where they cannot get help. (Jaws -- on the ocean with no radio; The Shining -- trapped in a hotel in the dead of winter; Cujo -- trapped in a car, etc.) Adding The Thing to my list of must-sees. Thanks, Craig.Luana Krausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940192586072864886noreply@blogger.com
