HOH SHIT, LOOK OUT LADY, THERE'S A BIG FUCKIN ANT RIGHT ABOVE YOU! FUCKIN THING, LOOKS PISSED AS HELL!
>>214680598Is this old movie even worth watching?
>>214680946Yes!
Don't worry, my tame trained mantis is on the job. Prepare to become lunch, ant.
>>214680598Them! Kino!>>214680946Of course it is.
Wasn't a remake of this movie announced at some point? I vaguely recall reading about it and how the director/screenwriter was gonna turn it into a metaphor for immigration rights or some gay ass shit.
>>214682541Is Cameron on record for saying Them! was part of his inspiration?
>>214682648I'm really getting sick of this "the monster was just misunderstood all along!" horse shit.
>>214680598they used to ride big beetles down south before cars
>>214682648You likely heard about them making a movie called "It Came From The Desert!" which is, ironically, an adaptation of the video game of the same name, which was originally meant to be a parody of the movie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OunFjTXpbMY
>>214682775Of course not.
>>214682541Seems like a coincidence to me
>>214683064Knowing Cameron, being the feminist he is, he probably made ALIENS into a soft remake of Them! as a way of killing off all the men (the soldiers) while having the female lead take all the credit, because ants are 90% female anyway.Also, they literally make reference to ants ALIENS.
>>214680598Waaaaah! So scary
>>214682860No, he's thinking of the WB remake that got put on pause by the writers strike. https://www.darkhorizons.com/giacchino-offers-update-on-them-remake/Didn't see anything about immigrants though
>>214680598this one is betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVEjdGQSzc8
>>214683145Dude Them! is great. They go into the aqueduct tunnels under LA and fight giant ants with WWII era Thompson submachine guns, M1 Garands, grenades, bazookas and flamethrowers.One of the best 50s scifi creature features. Would love to see a remake.
>>214683151I'd be down for this. I hope they keep the 50s setting though. 2020s Them! doesn't really interest me. Remaking the old film with new special effects and stunts would be cool though.
>>214680946It's pretty clever cause the first half is a traditional Noir but then the second half it turns into a creature feature.
>>214682541New movies suck cause they don't watch real old films like this, only facsimiles of them like Spielberg and that gay shit.
>>214680598You guy think ants like it when a diabetic pees on them? Like they see it as sweet nectar from the heavens rewarding them?
>>214680946If you like old scifi definitely. Can you enjoy old episodes of the original Star Trek? If yes, then you should enjoy Them!.
>>214680598UHOH LOOK OUT!!!!LADY LOOK OUT!!! OH LADY LOOK OUT, THAT BIG FUCKIN’ ANT IS GONNA EATCHU!!!WAIT. WAIT.STOP THE PLAY I GOTTA PISS.…I GOTTA BOTTLE! ITS OK I GOTTA BOTTLE.
>>214680946It's one of those movies you put on your lap while you game
>>214680946Even the shittiest movies made before 1990 has more soul than modern slop.
>>214680946Yeah, man!I used to watch these old black-n-white monster movies with my mom at night when I was a kid. “Them” is really great.
>>214683151>Michael Giacchino was supposed to directInteresting, didn’t know about this.
>>214682541I cant unsee this.
>>214682541You can tell that Aliens were good by how they didn't actively look worse than older thing. Modern movies always look worse than the old ones.
>>214682775Not after he was sued by Harlan Ellison, he learned his lesson.
>>214684595How come nobody makes giant bug movies anymore? I guess it would look like shit in CGI.
>>214684703>Now you fucked up!
>>214686482Nah, CGI can make a pretty good bug.https://youtu.be/xXsqMeSzo1M
>>214680946It's probably the best creature feature ever. They even respect actual ant biology and behavior, which is rare for 50's monster movies. Brooks from Shawshank is in it. It fucking rules, man.It was originally supposed to be filmed in color, but they spent all of their budget on huge, colorful ants and were forced to film in black and white. Ironic that color forced b&w filming.
>>214686482I wish they would. It's probably my favorite genre. 8 Legged Freaks is the most recent one I can think of. That one scene in the early 2000's King King was good.

>>214687096>Brooks from Shawshank is in it.James Arness too.

Why did none of these films end with romancing the bugs into a peaceful coexistence with humanity?
The ants seem goofy at times and there is an abundance of the Wilhelm scream but otherwise Them! holds up really well in terms of pacing, story beats etc.
>>214682648No idea but I guess that if Tim Burton Attack of the 50 foot woman goes well we'll be seeing more of these old Creature Features Remakes.
I love Them!
they/them
>>214680946
I'm thinking Them! won and Hack Cameron lost. Terminator was stolen. Aliens was stolen. He's a hack and a loser.
>>214691851WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS TAKING OUR HOT WOMEN?!
>>214684712Have you retards really fried your dopamine receptors so badly you need a movie AND a game going at the same time?
>>214692155many games are slow and grindy these days. Like spending twenty minutes running to the next area, collect 10 of such and such, then bring them back to whoever for you reward. I can enjoy a movie while enjoying the vidya too. And most of the movies I've seen already so it's not like they need full attention. You gonna be mad that people don't do it exactly like you demand they do?
>>214684712keep that to yourself you brain fried retard. What an embarrassing thing to post on the internet, even to 4chin
