"Twelve men, alone in an observation station in the Antarctic, with only there work and each other to while away the days. Sounds like a dream vacation for "The Village People"? Wrong. It´s the setting of John Carpenter´s 1982 classic remake about an alien who crash-landed on Earth 100,000 years ago, dug up, brought to the observation camp, and begins to assimilate those he is in contact. With amazing special effects by make-up genius, Rob Bottin, and superb acting by a Grade A list of actors, including a brooding Kurt Russell, and a pre-oatmeal Wilford Brimley, The Thing showed moviegoers that horror and science fiction were legitimate movie genres, not just to be relegated to the drive-in. The extras in this Collector´s Edition package are exceptional, especially the 90-minute documentary. Rob Bottin´s interview, while being manic and nerve-racking, is one of the most interesting I have ever heard. And John Carpenter and Kurt Russell´s commentary shou ... "

"There have been multiple battles between aliens: Godzilla vs. King Kong, Alien vs. Predator, to name a few. The biggest battle was at the box office between the most unlikely of combatants, an alien that crashed in Antartica and creates doppelgangers to survive and a short fat blob with long fingers, just wanting to go home. A fight to the death then: The Thing vs. E.T.We all know who was the victor here, the p.g. goodness of E.T. slaughtered the gorefest that was The Thing. Does that make it the better film? Of course not, box office means nothing when films are advertised as the US box office hit, that means nothing to me; Bringing Down The House was a No.1 hit, shit, more like. To me, The Thing is a much better film, the emotions of E.T. that took over the world did not strike a chord with me. I found it downright dull and almost demeaning. That might anger some people who love it because it doesn't look down on children but to me it did. I grew up on the vhs diet and i love ... "

"When I was a kid, this movie scared the snot out of me. I couldn't sleep well for days. I loved being afraid. Years later I watched the movie again and couldn't believe how cheesy the effects were but it was the best technology they had to offer back in the eighties. I still love this movie though. Kurt Russell will never be that handsome again. I loved the ending. The not knowing who was next still gets me today. "

"Summer movie seasons come and go, but there was something the summer of 1982 ranks amongst the greatest. What made 1982 so special? Well, while your standing in line, waiting for the third recycling Spiderman, Shrek, Pirates or Oceans, think about what you could have been going to your, most likely newly opened, suburban Cineplex. These were the movies of 1982:May 14: Conan the BarbarianMay 21: Road WarriorMay 28: Rocky 3June 4: Poltergeist and/or Star Trek: The Wrath of KhanJune 11: E.T.June 25: Blade Runner and/or The ThingJuly 9: TronJuly 23:
