"The Thing". "What thing?" "The Thing"

After watching the first 30 minutes of the original The Thing, I'm so far impressed by the movie. It doesn't look much different from what a movie today would look like, and it has proved to be entertaining for anyone dies. After reading the Norwegian translation screamed by the "crazed gunman", I was amused. Turns out that if anyone in the audience spoke norwegian, the entire movie would have been spoiled.

(The Norwegian said to MacReady and the men, in Norwegian: "Se til helvete og kom dere vekk. Det er ikke en bikkje, det er en slags ting! Det imiterer en bikkje, det er ikke virkelig! Kom dere vekk, idioter!" This is translated to: "Get the hell outta there. That's not a dog, it's some sort of thing! It's imitating a dog, it isn't real! Get away, you idiots!" ) Shows that we should all know our Norwegian so we don't get assimilated by an alien creature.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the 2011 Remake, I'm sorry: Prequal. The movie is allegedly a prequal to the 1982 classic, but it looks the same to me so far. Here's to hoping the new movie is worth my ten dollars. I'll do my best not to read Rotten Tomatos
