The Fellowship is pleased to present week 2 of Carpenter Month, featuring The Thing (1982). Antarctic researchers have to save the world from an alien doppleganger, and hijinks ensue. A box office bomb now considered one of the best horror films of all time. And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Started watching Amazon's The Tick - so far so good
[Skype kind of squicked out on Les here. But it got better after this segment, I promise :-) -m]
Tangent: Superman's Reign - DC's "alternate world" run back in the 90s
Showcase Presents: The Atom - nice little origin collection
TCM [I think] showing 3 Dracula flicks consecutively - it's October, obviously :-) (also it's tangent time)
Facebook games - not so much the "cooperative" ones; Star Trek Timelines in particular; slightly addictive

[Also, somewhere early in the discussion Thomas' microphone picked up a weird hum. Not a major deal, but an interesting sound effect had it been intentional :-) -m]
We didn't actually name the actor in the creature suit in the 1951 movie - it was James Arness (Marshal Dillon from Gunsmoke)
