funniest thing about the thing (1982) is that the titular thing is both a master manipulator who can perfectly replicate anyone but also a big bundle of nerves who flips out and starts screaming and turning into 5000 meat parts at once the INSTANT it’s found out

I redrew the poster for the thing :)

So it’s really interesting that the thing doesn’t assimilate Clark right? Like it spends the most time alone with him throughout the day, it had every opportunity to assimilate him.

Honestly I think that there could be two possibilities here as to why Clark is never assimilated.

1. The thing is an evil mastermind who understands that because Clark was with it all day it will foster paranoia in the others against him, allowing it to lay low as more subtle characters like Palmer and Norris. This also assumes the thing expected to be caught at some point because assimilation isn’t really a quick process.

2. The thing didn’t want to assimilate Clark because he was nice to it, nicer to it than anyone else on the base, and kindness is a language that is always understood. This isn’t to say it’s benevolent in any way, just that it recognizes that he was the kindest of them to it and it didn’t kill him for that reason.

I dunno. Just a thought 🙃

One of my Jubilaura headcanons is that, although Laura is usually the dominant one, she’s also the one who usually ends up getting scared when they watch horror movies.

I feel like so much of the thing hinges on the relationship between Fuchs and Mac because it really tells the audience why we should trust Mac. When Fuchs finds Blair’s notes, it would’ve made far more sense to go to one of the other men with a background in science (Bennings or Norris) or even the manager Garry, but instead he goes to Mac. It’s such a good way to emphasize Mac’s leadership, the way Fuchs implicitly trusts him.

Idk I love this movie. Also they should kiss because their chemistry is WILD.
