Congratulations on the webcast! So good when someone recognizes our skillz. I recently saw the original 50's Thing and thought it ended before it started. (Alas, I measure all creature features subtext against Bodysnatchers and most fail miserably.) When I saw the trailer for this one, I thought, "Dang, the woman as lone voice of truth?" Seemed facile but I maybe there'd be some feministy subtext. Or the Norwegians would bring in U.N. paranoia subtext. oh well. Will try to watch it for mere fun.

@scifiwritir1 You know there was such an opportunity for them to do that. They do touch on it but its done so sloppy that it kind of more leaves you going huh then actually getting that meaning out of the scenes.

@KINGJADEX This one is way different from the 1982 one. It's like the desire to peep under a girl's skirt suddenly vanished once the skirt is removed.

Haven't watched it yet, although I really love the 1982 one by Mr. Jon Carpenter!
