There’s no need. We know how it ends. We don’t care for alternative endings to make the film unique in its own right. Just fucking tell us what happens up to the dog chase![/quote]
What I mean is she likely escaped before the dog chase or was still at the Norwegian camp and left when the helicopter guy never came back.

Aye I got where you were going with that, but still…no need. Who cares really if she tells the world - it’s not like that’s going to save either camp from their predestined fate so it seems a pointless escape. Kill the bitch and make it gruesome as hell! That’s what is going to get appraisal!

But they have a woman as the protagonist in The Thing remake. Weak. She won’t even die, I’d bet 5 internet dollars on it.[/quote]
She has to die. She isn’t in the first one and there were no other survivors bar the pilot and rubbish sniper…

She’s a woman
Its 2011
When’s the last time you’ve seen the female protagonist lose in a horror movie? Exactly. I’m pretty sure she’ll live.
Even Kurt Russell and Keith David didn’t survive in Carpenter’s movie.

Shrooms and Beaches female protagonist died[/quote]
Seen neither, but I know oen is straight to dvd movies and the other is lifetime approved.
I’ll give you one more: Rec aka Quarantine

Wol I recommend Shrooms it is on Netflix.
Beaches will suck the Test out of you within minutes so would not recommend.

And they’re remaking The Thing… seriously? WTF?[/quote]
The Thing is a remake of The Thing From Another World:

It could go either way. It all depends on how greedy they get. I wouldn’t put it past them to have her escape unscathed, get back to a normal life, then show a cutscene of a tentacle flicker out from her sleeve while she delivers a sly look directly into the camera.
Cue sequel and another pint wrung from the cash cow.

For a b-movie it’s pretty good. [/quote]
It’s actually more of a sequel than a remake

Who told you that? The creatures in each respective movie are totally different in nature.
The alien in the 1951 version is basically a humanoid plant with a fixed shape. They analyze it in the movie.
I loved the Carpenter one so much, that if this doesn’t prove to be out-standing, I will probably get thrown out of the theater for loudly pointing out every part of it that isn’t as good.

Actually, they didn’t show if one of them survived, did they? That thing can hibernate for thousands of years.

Indeed and that is part of the enjoyable ambiguity of the final scene - as Childs and MacReady muse over the fact either of them could be the thing. I’d read somewhere that Childs comes back with a different colour jacket than the one he left the base camp with when he heads of to set up explosives, but haven’t had a chance to check it out properly yet. Probably nonsense but may be worth keeping an eye out for when you next see it.

Like I said, MacReady and Childs didn’t survive. No fire, no shelter, and no communications to the outside world. They’re dead. The only way they could survive is if they have the characters in the upcoming prequel search the Antartica for another base that may have come in contact with the Thing.
