what the fuck is he talking about?
just grandpa saying another one of his wacky stories
>>223825010kill yourself, retarded spamming lazy jeet>>223819974
>>223825034>lazyIronic. This wouldn't happen if you subhuman jeets used the subject column like you are supposed to.
>>223825010He used to say that the film was shot with the intention of the ending being vague. Guess he's just trying to attention whore. That, or a filthy journalist is taking his statement out of context.
>>223825356always blame the journalist because they are a 9-5 wageslave trying to write anything to keep their job and not get fired.
>>223819974if only there was some way to search the catalog
>>223825010Turns out, John carpenter doesnt know the ending as well
>>223825384If only there was a subject box where you could type the subject and prevent spam. Too bad this board is full of third worlders like you.
vagueposting
>>223825420>I am a blindnigger and it's your problem
>>223825384If only you fucks could use the name of the movie or the director in the post body so somebody can easily ctrl + f it
>>223825451>just don't use the tools saaar. Waste more time and be retarded like we do here in Delhi.
Do you really think this guy knows the answer to the ending of his own movie?He looks like he doesnt even know what oatmeal is, even though he eats it daily
>>223825512stop insulting one of the best directors of all time when u haven't even directed your first time having sex u faggot
The 'Thing' is you, the viewer.
>>223825010There's only >mac thing >childs thing>both thing>neither thing All of which have been talked about for decades. Carpenter is just being a bit of a grumpy Gus here.
>>223825010The real villain is not who you expect.
>>223825010The ending is that neither one of them is the Thing, but both think the other one is. They will die staring at each other, when if they realized the truth they would both survive.
his brain is root with all the booze, joints and Halo
We're all the Thing here.
>>223825721Maybe the real thing, was the friends we made along the way.
>>223825010See less
>>223825010The Thing is the friends we made along the way
>>223825679Thanks doc
>>223825551What does shilling for a person you dont know do for himHe didnt care Guillermo del Toro was phrasing him for the ThingWhy would he care about you
You think your phases matter to this guy huhHahahahahhahabahaHe dont give two flying fucks what you think
>>223825922idk i like the guy he has a positive vibe & he seems like a cool guy that's a gamer just like me even in his old age, seems very lucid & he achieved the feat of creating the best horror of all time together with even others among my top 10 moviesjust don't wanna see him insulted by some random, he deserves some fuckin' respect
>>223825984Phrases*
>>223825010If a director has to explain the plot of his movie, he's failed as a director.
>>223825996Phrases doesn't make sense either
>>223825987The ignorant zoomers around here should all be strung up
The only outcomes can be one of them is the thing or both are still human
>>223826046Ywnbat
>>223825551>you have to be a director to critique movies
>>223826108not what I said... it was about insulting carpentereven he has some bad movies
>>223825010You mean they're not both the thing and both multiplied not realizing that other is also the thing so they both sit there and die together thinking their copy made it out? That's not how it ends?
Who fucking cares. You don't see Jeff Goldblum or David Cronenberg giving interviews about TOP 10 COOL BRUNDLEFLY FACT'S YOU DIDN'T KNOW! NUMBER 9 WILL SHOCK YOU!
Childs was the thing. the end. The thing theme plays when he drinks the "whisky"
Guys, I think he's just really old and senile.
>>223825010We figured this out years ago.Wtf is grandpa going on about. Is he just shitposting to claim its all a dream or some shit
>>223825076Subject field is for reddit tourists
>all that shitpostWhy boomers make zoomers there seethe this much?
>>223825984>Guillermo del Taco is a fagWow, water is wet!
>>223826002He didn't explained it, champ
>>223825984Guillermo is so pathetic
>>223825010The thing is a metaphor for social decay. Once it takes hold, we all become the thing. That is the secret ending.
Not to get off topic but why was John Carpenter involved with Studio666? I love JC's work and am perplexed why he'd help on that absolute turd.
>>223825467>so somebody can easily ctrl + f ityou're so fat, you wouldn't even type that correctly
>>223825010Maybe the real Thing was the friends we made along the way.
that the thing is alive in some way even if we dont see it. so the world is gonna be infected anyways
>>223825381real journalism gets you killed
>>223825574This is my headcanon, that "in universe", by the time the viewer is watching the film, the whole world has already been Thing'd
>>223825436kek
>>223825010There was never a thing, the whole movie was a dream MacReady was having
>>223829944I was going to write this you shit.it's the only thing that makes sense, and just a little too clever for 'audiences'.
>>223830064That does not make sense at all actually
>>223829944not a dream but a metaphor for the cabin fever
>>223830231you see mcgreedy dozing at the start, he nods off then the dream begins. why would they have two outposts within such a short distance of one another but they'd never met? makes no sense, the answer is there is no norwegian base.the whole thing is mcgreedy having a sort of cabin fever from isolation which makes him dream about a terrible nightmare of being alone. it's the typical "all my friends are monsters" just because he's been couped up with them on his own for too long without other people being there and he's the only one.that's what carpenter is hinting at and it's obvious when you know the clue in the film.
>>223825034this is not reddit or /k/ bro we're allowed to have several threads on the same topic
>>223825010I don't get why people have such a hard time understanding that he probably doesn't even have an actual ending in mind and it's all so ambigous to keep viewers engaged and keep the discussion going, but it's very likely that there is no definitive answer.I mean, people have speculated about every single possible variant of what could be going on (Childs has been infected, MacReady was infected, both were infected, neither was infected) and they STILL haven't figured out the correct ending?
>one of them is the thing>none of them is the thinghe's said both of these things over the years
>>223830988He has Alzheimers
>first scene with Kurt is him playing chess>white vs black>he "beats" the machine by pouring a drink over it>last scene with Kurt is him sitting across from a black person>he hands the black person a drinkreal deep shit right there
>>223825010Its neither of them, its the pet bird. Its in its cage in one shot then the cage is empty in another shot at the end.
The Thing is infectedIt survived being blown to bits but after assimilating the last nig it got sickle cell disease and it's doomed to die
>>223825010Neither were the thing, the erosion of trust means it won
>>223831004What pet bird?
>>223825010Carpenter also said THEY LIVE wasn't about the jews. I wouldn't believe a word he says.
>>223825010Relax John, we get it. It’s an immigration analogy.
>>223825010The ending is about yuppies. All of theories are slander and a lie.
>>223825674Cheatin' bitch.
>>223826046Or they're both the thing but they don't know if the other person is the thing or human.
>>223825010other than a woman individually strangling each and every single one of her children to (successfully) earn pity points from pro-choicers, has there ever been an attempt more pitiful to stay relevant than this?
>>223826940They're jealous
>>223825984Kinda hate Carpenter now. What a jewmer.
>>223825551>one of the best directors of all timeThe Thing.Escape From New York.And a whole pile of trash that only gets worse with time.
>>223832425they live, assault on precinct 13, ghosts of Mars, trig bubble in cittle lina
>>223825412This.He doesn't know for sure. It's pure media for himself.
>>223832541Then what "huge clue sitting right in the movie" was he referring?
>>223832344>just let people steal and profit off your ideas goy!
>>223832661He wasn't complaining about being mad that other people were profiting, he was complaining about being mad that he didn't make enough profit off of other people's happiness.
>>223832558In the past, someone else involved in the original production hinted that it had to do with a certain glimmer in people's eyes, but Carpenter shut that talk down.
I am the Thing
The film itself is the Thing
>>223832785The real The Thing is The Things we made along the way.
>>223832690>someone from. plebbit claiming to be...don't fall for it, all they do there is lie for upboats while here people lie for entertainment.i trust the latter more.
he already solved it in the ps2 game, no?
>>223825984Guillemero has always been a gossipy bitch. He loves to talk shit about people with talent. Are we supposed to pretend "Hellboy" was an artistic project ?
>>223825984>>223833340obviously this just makes John Carpenter look even better.
>>223833114He already forgot that was a thing. It was never actually important nor canon to the movie. He just said it was to drive more sales. Once he has his money, he forgets abd moves on like they always dk
>>223825034The Thing is essential /tv/core, it's not that out of the ordinary several anons would make a thread about this at the same time.
>>223832678>entertainment should be free, grok generate me contents for consooming right now
>>223825674I fucking knew it!
>>223825010Lol>>223825034Lmao even
>>223825010Reagan was The Thing
>>223825010literally the mind of a teenage girl
>>223833494if you listen to this guy's commentaries he's more concerned about how he missed out on land development opportunities and profits in southern california than anything about his movies
>>223825420actual tourist ree
>>223833340Do you have autism?
>>223835171LMAOOO, that sounds like himI've been a huge fan of Carpenter for years now, I consider him an inspiration of sorts, but he was a huge disappointment when I actually found out what he's really like... an extremely cynical guy, and not very artistically inclined at all despite havign a good knowledge of cinema and showcasing some real technical prowess in his work.In his seminar at the New York Film Academy he mentions "making a bunch of money" plenty of times, also he never cares wether or not his films are remade as long as he gets his paycheck...Which is even more suprising because he has this "man of the people" aura that he tries to build up through his films, and yet he's so greedy and materialistic
>>223833494>He already forgot that was a thinghehehe I see what you did there
I know the real ending.
>>223831859No.
>>223837359I am the real ending.
