 Coolness: 42360 | [ www.rave.ca ]
Although this isn't a rave or party per se, but parties always end up happening before and after the screening, THING FEST is a rare if not unique opportunity to watch an original 35mm 1982 print on big screen theater of John Carpenter's masterpiece of modern cinema, "THE THING". [ www.rave.ca ] For more details, read the flyer linked above, or visit THE THING's official fan website at [ www.outpost31.com ] or visit the discussion board at [ thethingfan.11.forumer.com ] for extra details and whatnot. It's in London Ontario, which is about an 8 hour drive or train trek from Montreal, and if you enjoy the film, this is a rare chance indeed to see it larger than life! It is also an opportunity to network with other hardcore fans of the film, as well as other folks from around the globe who come into London once a year for THING FEST! Cheers |

 Coolness: 76350 | I caught The Thing as a midnight feature when I was still living in Winnipeg. Awesome. I hope Cinema du Parc brings in some interesting midnight fare in October. When I first moved here they screened some incredible shit... was awesome to catch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a theatre... not to mention Two Evil Eyes... the Argento half of that flick is great... the Romero half... not so much. |

| Coolness: 42360 | Well folks, I will try to see if I can't get something happening at Cinema Du Parc (my brother knows the owner!) since this year (2007) is the film's 25th anniversary! Don't forget that you have NOT seen this film until you've seen it on the BIG screen! If you can't, then don't settle for the fullscreen 4:3 aspect ratio; you lose about 40% of the image! Go for the 2:35 WIDESCREEN DVD instead; you'll see what I mean! In the meantime, it isn't too early to start saving up $$$ for the trip down to London Ontario... It reallly is an event, and the other fans who show up to watch the film are real hardcore fanatics... Scope out the discussion board (link in my main message) for a quick idea on how some of these people really are into this film. Cheers, take it easy! |

| Coolness: 42360 | Just FYI:
I have emailed the owner & operator of Cinema Du Parc about THING FEST(s) and asked him if there was anything planned for the film's 25th anniversary. In the meantime I invite you all to visit THE THING's official fan-operated website at: [ www.outpost31.com ] And check out just how hardcore some fanatics can get! We're talking tattoos, trips to the original filming location, collectibles, fan stories & comics, etc... Even though the film is 25 years old and the world has changed considerably since then, it still holds true to this day... I myself find it amazing that in today's CGI-obsessed world, people still find the mechanical effects from 1982 as effective as they were back then! Cheers! |

 Coolness: 686270 | Well, the diffrence in the effects is that The Thing is actually THERE! No need to generate shadows and match lighting, no need to get textures that always end up looking too smooth and fake, no CG fire and blood.. CG has completely gone to shit since the early days.. So far, the only movies that I've seen that have really good CG that's really hard to distinguish from the real actors/sets, are Terminator 2 (the T-1000), the first Jurasic Park, and recently (of all things) I, Robot. From the trailers, Transformers looks like it's gonna go on that list when I get to see it..
CG is only good when done by REALY professionals with a massive fucking budget that have a reputation to uphold. The Thing fucking rocks!  |
