I'm the Thing, baby
THESE POOR BASTARDS IN THE SNOW
You know the drill
Is Das Ding the same being inhabiting multiple bodies at once?
>>215401133it's nanobots or some shit
so was the nigger the thing or what?
>>215401448Yes. It's been confirmed. His name is Keef David btw.
>MAC WANTS THE DUB>THE DUBS?!>YOU HEARD ME NOW POST
>>215401060
>>215401448it wasnt mac, that's for sure. so it could only have been to other guy
Amalgamated systems edit now!
>>215401531sentprepare to receive
>>215401060Nonsense, that's just a harmless pup.
>>215401789Or it was neither of them.
You see when a man posts, it's just singles. Digits from one of you Things won't obey when you post. Repeating numbers at the end of your post, say.
>>215401448Neither of them, but they wouldn't trust each other so they chose to die alone.
>>215401874I'm a regular ol' Joe.
>>215401874let me go
>>215401874Come on bro, you know me, I'm not a thing.
>>215401874one way or another im gettin the fuck out of here
>>215401911Bros...
>>215401874The danger has passed, MacReady. We humans have survived. Let us shake each others hands in friendship. Possibly share a mutual platonic hug.
I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING THREAD.
>>215401874What kino we watching tonight?I'm watching Dr. No.
>>215402011It's not even disguising itself now.
>>215402011>>215401866>>215401133WINDOWS BLAST THEM
>>215401911>>215401866That's just what the Thing would say!
>>215401874>>215401096This is such bullshit.
It's not me guys wtf don't you know me?? Check this pose
>>215401874whatever I don't even care, do what you want bro
>>215401874hi
>>215401448Their outpost is on fire after that scene. Make of that what you will.
That's it, im the thing. Sorry i'll take my leave
>>215402011i was about to put on resevoir dogs
>>215401133It's interesting watching the movie knowing Palmer and Norris are Things for most of it.
So I will keep up appearances. I will work behind the scenes. I will save them from the inside, or their unimaginable loneliness will never end.These poor savage things will never embrace salvation.I will have to rape it into them.
>>215402187Can they sense each other or are they seeing if one can make it out? The plague of gripes video was great.
>>215402250This is just the gravemind from halo.
>>215402296They're roleplaying, like every INSECT in this thread
>>215401096It's not me, I swear. You gotta believe me.
>>215402296Palmer is the one that transformed Norris into a Thing, so yeah they can sense each other. Then one of them got to the blood and one of them got to Fuchs
>>215401874I'm Indian.
The thing, ghost in the shell, and westworld are the two media that discuss consciousness and the ego. What it means to be a mind. Westworld even got me into the bicameral.mind.
>>215401060Diabeetus
>>215402187Was Palmer a Thing when he was smoking that massive joint with Childs?
>>215401874EVERYBODY....let's just chill out and figure out what's going on, let's be rational...
Where the white bitches at?
>>215403077*muffled screams*
>>215401096no I don't, bitchass nigga, is it makita's?
>>215401133you tell us
I submit to the test but can’t I just pick my nose to cause it to bleed? I’m afraid of blades!
>>215401874
>>215401874you can go ahead and burn me either way
>>215402122HE'S ONE, TOO
>>215403354How do you get a dog to “act” so suspicious like that?
>>215401874I’m good alright? I just feel a little lightheaded is all. I promise you I’m okay
>>215403445Get the right dog
kill me
>>215403445I would like to believe the story he was a super special dog because he was half wolf/half dog but he was probably forced into compliance using abusive methods.
>off by 3
>>215403488TORCH HIS ASS
>>215403566>I prefer to make up imaginary stories to feel edgy instead of completely mundane and logical explanations
>>215401096This is ridiculous.
>>215403566>the storyLike, he was. That's not difficult to find. Which helped him have a calmer demeanor than we expect from dogs, and coupled with good direction, good training and obviously, some luck, got some terrific shots where it looked unnaturally sentient.
>>215403755
>>215403755I've read about the dog and listened to the DVD commentary but I still don't understand how a wolf/husky hybrid is a better actor than most of the human actors in the movie. I'll accept good training, exceptionally good dog, good direction, good cinematography, good editing, et cetera. My slight skepticism comes from reading about how badly animals in movies were treated back then.
>>215404207Prey drive is instinctual and sneaking up is something puppies learn to do.
These threads never fail to make me chuckle
No, I'm the Thing!
>>215401874FUCK YOU
>>215402952Norris was the first turned thing that we absolutely know because the scene is too blatant for us to not see it.That's the red herring.Palmer could of been the thing or could have not been the thing, that's the surprise. Because we really have no evidence he is or isn't.The whole paranoid skit was in align with a goofy dude who smokes a lot of weed.
>>215401133It bugs me that la cosa never had a true form. hard to comprehend what it is exactly. an extra-dimensional avatar could be understood but this is just alien cells where does its being really start and end
>>215405203It is just improvising in a short amount of time, using it's flesh as tools.
>>215404993>could ofThat's Thing phrasing! Blast him!
>>215401448you retards still argue this trying to find a conclusion.IT DIDNT FUCKING MATTER. He literally says there is nothing they can do about it anyway even if one of them is the thing
Just testing myself
>>215405930I guess you are back
Hey you! I'm the Thing! Kill me!
>>215406008jej
>>215406022This must be a new tactic. I don't quite understand it yet but I'll figure it out. In the meantime torch this deadbeat.
>>215406096Wait! That's what it wants you to do!
>>215401874Scared to post because I don't even know if the thing knows it's the thing
I have not now or never have been The Thing
>>215402296Plague rambled himself into incoherence
>>215401874This is pure nonsense. Doesn't prove a thing
>>215402476Norris was the first infected. This shadow is very clearly Norris; full head of hair, which Palmer doesn't have.
>>215401060Bullshit. I'm the thing. Or am I...
>>215401874Heh... don't look at me
>>215401448he drinks gasoline, so yes
>>215408025reddit theory
>>215403566*Hasan-approved methods
I need to see all your teeth fillings right now! :D
>>215408045true but it checks out
>>215406238Only the Thing wouldn't know it was the Thing if it was the Thing
>>215408132It doesn't. The thing absorbs people's minds, it would know what booze tastes like.
Everyone but me is the thing
>>215408168right, but what does coughing and sputtering "MAN THATS GASOLINE" even do? why would the thing even bother "pretending to be human" at that point? if its just fucking with mac it might as well go "mmm, gas, just the stuff". whats mac gonna do?
>>215407742That shadow is nobody in the cast, its a crew member
>>215408327The thing has no consciousness, it's just an imitation with a parent program that eats people. It cant not react as the imitation would because the imitation is down to the cellular level
>>215408591so then it wasnt gasoline or it would sputtered? it doesnt make sense either way.
>>215408607It wasnt gas and if it drank gas it would act.like a person or break that charade and start eating people.
>>215408631well look we cant just agree on something, that goes against the 4chan status quo. the fuck are we gonna do for the rest of this thread?
>>215401874C'mon, Mac. Don't get crazy. We gotta be able to trust each other. Now why don't you gimme the torch, bud.
>>215408649Dont be so reddit
>>215408671THERE we go, phew
Childs was human
>>215401096Ich bin nicht Das Ding™!
>>215408138That's a fair point. If something that wasn't the thing was the thing it would definitely know it's the thing.
Which one of the outpost's staff are you most like? As much as I'd love to say I'm like MacReady I'm honestly more like Garry.
>>215409298Why are you old.
>>215409504Because years keep passing and I haven't died.
>>215405203As far as I understand it's like a parasitic organism, so its "true form" might be microscopic. It had a space ship but it's debatable whether it built it, or it was stolen from a different alien species that it imitated. Presumably, the Thing could do whatever it imitates does, so it could fly a ship or drive a car if need be.
>>215401497The game confirms that neither of them were things.
>>215401874That doesn't prove a damned thing
>>215401874I'm not a thing mate
>>215401060Fuwamoco are doing a watchalong of The Thing tonight but it's members only and 1. I'm broke 2. I wouldn't pay 5 dollars anyway...But man it's going to be insanely kino. Bau bauuuu.
>>215409711AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
>>215401874what a crock of shit
>>215401096*lurks in a dark hallway*
>>215409749That gif is older than some anons here. t-t I remember using it as my profile pic on MSN
>>215409711
>>215401096Getting dubs doesn't really prove anything. I'll admit it's suspicious but is that really justification for jumping to conclusions? Be reasonable.
>>215409792This man is working in cahoots with the thing, can confirm
>>215401096How do we know you're not the thing?
>>215409817There's no (You) once you are assimilated. It has your appearance and mannerism to other people, but (You) are fucking dead. It's horrifying. Imagine being assimilated and The Thing fucks your wife while passing as you, then kills her. What are way to go. It not only destroyed you and everything you love, but before being done with, it also took a huge shit. Man, fuck That Thing.
>>215402716>Mac wants the water!
the main these two two signals for who is humans or the thing. the main theme has a bass, signifying the human heartbeat, and a higher pitched tapping, signifying the Thing’s heartbeat. The tapping only starts as it cuts to Mac and he laughs.
They didn't even try to communicate with it.
>>215409938Tells you a lot about what to expect from these hairless monkeys.
>>215402009youtube comments is the other way
>>215401060OH SHI-IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!
>>215401448NO IT WAS KIRK RUSTLE
>>215409805Where's your proof?
I don't get it
>>215401448The point is that we don't know. Asking for an answer goes against the intended ambiguity of the ending scene of a movie about paranoia and uncertainty
>>215401448Mac knows that Childs is a ThingChilds knows that Mac knowsMac knows that Childs knows he knows
>>215409298i guess nauls, everybody else is older doctors, professors engineers and pilots but he just wanted to grill
>>215409866kek
>>215404993Wrong. Palmer was the first Thing turned. That is Palmer's room the dog goes into. You see Palmer come out of that room later in his underwear.
Good evening, fellow male people.
>>215407742>40 years later and retards are still using this surface level braindead takeIt's literally not Norris. You're not smart for saying it is just because some hair. It's Palmer's room. Palmer is sitting there watching movies facing away from the door like he's shown to do. Pay attention next time.
hey guys
>>215411066Hey little buddy, you're cool with me. I won't let any nasty Norwegians hurt you. Come, share my dinner and sleep in my bed tonight
>>215411117hell yeah- i mean, woof.
>>215411066>>215411144
>>215401096I'm clean Macready. Lay down the flamethrower.
Who is this retarded dog
>>215411204No one knows>>215411164Hello David
There is no "thing" you all gone insane.
I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter POSTING IN THIS FUCKING THREAD
>>215401096I've been with you guys the whole time.
>>215401096What drill? Wasting everyone's time with a meaningless meme thread?
>>215411276Did the black guy rape the dog?
Anyone seen my inflatable girlfriend? The lights were out for an hour. Any one of you could have gotten to her!
>horrific alien that can infect and/or shapeshift into your loved ones>it's just "doing what it does" and isn't really evil, just purely malevolentWhy is this the most kino trope?
>>215411422>horrific alien is just "doing what it does", but it IS evil and sadisticThat's even better
>>215411422it would've been sort of sad/funny if it was scared and just wanted to make the spaceship to immediately leave the planet without assimilating the mainland
>>215411816
>>215401096Just get me off this fucking couch already
>>215401096I am not a thing.
>>215401874urp
Look, you're all thinking too small here. If we can talk to the thing, reason with it, we can make copies of anyone we want. Imagine the kino we could make with 25 Kurt Russells.
>>215413218could you fix the thing with love and get a thing gf? be easier to trust than modern women.
>>215401096If you hey trips are you a bigger badder thing?
>>215401096We have no reason to think it would affect your digits. This test is stupid. We should all go to sleep in separate rooms and wear earplugs
>Something starts fucking with the dogs>Everyone gathers near commotion >Only gawks for a couple of seconds before sending for flame thrower>Double tap unknown creature with flame thrower It always surprises me just how on-top of the situation everyone is initially. If this were some worse monster movie, it would take like 3 kills for people to get organized and defend themselves
>>215413279Yes, the Thing was Clark's girlfriend. When they killed him, it freaked the fuck out. It knew it could never trust another human again and decided to absorb them all or kill them.
>>215409845>Man, fuck That Thing.Yea, spit on that thang
>>215401096It was me, Barry.
>>215414356HAWK TUAH
>>215407465Each point was valid.
>>215414159To be fair they are quite a smart bunch of people. Add that to the fact they made it through the selection process to man an arctic base, testing that I'm sure looks for people who can get on top of emergencies quickly.
It's me, I'm the Thing, kill me please.
>>215401096rollin
>>215401874I'd rather not spend the rest of this thread CHECKING THESE FUCKING DIGITS
See, that nice dog is fine, he's made it to the Klondike, up in Alaska, it's lovely this time of year.
>>215407498>>215401096I thought you'd feel that way, Anon. You were the only one who could've got to that blood. We'll do you last.
Greetings fellow humans, don't mind me, I'm a regular person doing man things like taxes and eating food and such
>>215414863I never noticed it sprayed all over the ceiling
>>215402088'That's just what the Thing would say!' is just what the Thing would say!
>>215414737I think you're just suicidal but lazy
