A few weeks ago we went to see the new version of The Thing. I really enjoyed it but wasn't sure about K's thoughts. Then, the following arrived in my inbox:
"I went in to the movie thinking The Thing was a creepy crawling hand but I quickly found I was sadly mistaken. I don't know, the whole alien thing usually doesn't do it for me. Now if it were a 3 million year old mastodon that was re-birthed from the ice and started devouring people that would be something to talk about! Another difficulty I had was that every time I saw the snow vehicles it instantly transported me back to the The Shining, which, lets be honest, there is just no comparison. All in all it was entertaining but not a re-watcher for me."
