Movie Micro Comment: Weird Shape
Horace 2022-03-21 09:01:09
6.5 points. Works 30 years ago. Watching this kind of horror movie, I really want to sigh the progress of technology: if you saw such a monster shape back then, you might really feel terrified, but now it will only make people feel ridiculous. However, this kind of design in which everyone in the secret room is at risk and killing each other should be considered relatively new at the time. Is this soundtrack okay? How could it be distributed to the golden plum? ? It just feels average, but it's not so miserable, right?

Fuchs: [whispering] I have to talk to you.
MacReady: I'm tired of talkin', Fuchs. I just wanna get up to my shack and get drunk.
Fuchs: Mac, it's important.
MacReady: What is it?
Fuchs: Outside.
MacReady: It's 40 below zero outside.

MacReady: I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.
Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.
Palmer: Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?
Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?
Palmer: Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.
Garry: So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.
MacReady: Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!
Nauls: [skates in with ripped long johns] Which one of you disrespectful men been tossing his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh? From now, I want my kitchen clean, all right? Germ free!
Childs: So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?
George Bennings: And how can it look like a dog?
MacReady: I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!
[motions to Blair]
Childs: You buy any of this Blair?
