The Thing is an incredible movie. Rob Bottin is a genius.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Generally, I'm not a fan of Carpenter. I think he kind of made this by accident.

Yeah, it's okay.

I think most of his stuff is mildly good, or mediocre. In the Mouth of Madness is good, but overpraised. He's a talented director technically, but rarely does that skill rise above a merely technical level.

Is it overpraised? Huh. I thought people generally disliked it.

Really? I've heard nothing but love for it.

You could be right. I really have no idea. I just thought people didn't care for it.

EDIT: RT has a critic rating of 48% and an audience score of 73%.

So we're both right!

I hadn't even heard of that one. But I am a fan of The Thing, They Live, and Escape from New York. Not a big fan, but a fan.
IMO, Halloween is an overrated movie. I was bored out of my skull.

Posted: **Fri January 01, 2016 7:56 pm**

I liked Halloween. Didn't love it. Well, I loved the opening, first person murder stuff. That was fantastic. The rest of the movie was good, not great. But I'm not a huge fan of the genre in general.

Posted: **Fri January 01, 2016 7:57 pm**

Big Trouble in Little China and Starman are both fucking fantastic, though. Those are probably my two favorites by him.

Posted: **Fri January 01, 2016 7:58 pm**

You're right, the opening of Halloween is pretty top-notch.

Posted: **Fri January 01, 2016 8:02 pm**

Halloween sucks. So do Ghosts of Mars and The Ward. They Live and Escape from New York are both okay, but probably two of the most overrated movies ever made (especially the former).

The only things I really like by him are The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Fog, and "Cigarette Burns" (his Masters of Horror episode). And The Thing is wwwwwaaaaayyyyy better than the other three.

I would like to see Starman, though. But I don't have a lot of confidence in it.

Probably the most overrated opening in movie history. It doesn't work technically or thematically. At all.

Posted: **Fri January 01, 2016 8:12 pm**

I just watched it on youtube, and it's pretty cool and actually scary. I dig it.

I love The Thing, Big Trouble, Escape from NY and LA, In The Mouth..., Vampires ( god i love that one), Assault on Precint 13 nd i like Halloween and They Live.

Never seen Dark Star and Starman.
