Did a search and found this, sorry but I'm bumping it. 😬
I think The Thing is a great horror film and the effects are very good even compared to todays effects.
After watching it again last night I noticed one thing at the end, where MacReady and Childs are sitting in the remains of the outpost, that one of them has no fogged breath when he breathes. shock
Oh and there is a possible prequel.
i never understand why the effects people cannot see that some of their creations are obviously under par
i think a man in a mask is often far suprior to CG
the original Jabba is far superior to his S.E version
i cannot understand how a big budget movie like Spiderman can have unconvincing cg...theres no weight to Spidey at times...and as for the Clonetroopers in SW would it really have been so hard to just have a couple of guys in suits...sometimes they look crap

The part when the guys stomach opens up with teeth and starts eating the other guys arm is pretty stupid, but about 30sec later it gets pretty nasty. The sound the Dog Alien makes is very freaky!!
When that dudes stomach opens it is a good shock though if you're not expecting it and I think it's pretty cool. lol.
I think the whole movie is pretty gruesome but it's a good gruesome.
It's really hard convincing people, who haven't seen 'The Thing' during the 80's, that it was an excellent special effects movie at that time.
It's like me trying to like the original 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' over the 90's version. No matter how much I watch the original, I still think the 90's version is far superior.
