Hey, I have a Question for Non-Binary folks. If I have a character who is canonly Non-Binary and are a robot. Is it okay for them to be able to change their body and form or would that be offensive?
Hello everyone! Time for my first review!
Last night I was fortunate to sit down and watch one of the so called greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time, The Thing From Another World!
However, I'm gonna give a bit of context of how I came to this film.
You guys probably don't know this, but I'm a huge fan of the legendary filmmaker John Carpenter. I loved most of his movies, especially Halloween (Which I might review it, the remake, and the upcoming film.) One of his better films is The Thing, which is a great movie and you should go see it. Hell, I even liked the 2011 Prequel to it. So, the original 1951 film has been on my Watchlist for a while. So, when I saw it was available On Demand, I had to watch it! So, I did! And what did I think?
I kinda liked it but it is not as good as the 80s remake.
So, firstly, what is this film about? Some Men from the Air Force arrive to a base at the North Pole when a unidentifiable ship is there. One thing leads to another and the creature is loose!! What will become of our men? Watch and find out! After this review of course.
As far as story goes, it's the standard fare for 50s Sci-Fi movies, And it isn't exactly that accurate to the original short story "Who Goes There?" Especially with The Thing...Not being able to impersonate others as well, but instead multiplying. The acting is also standard for the time. The Hayes Film Code was in effect as well, which leads to some...odd quotes. ("Holy Cats!") However, I will say that it doesn't affect the viewing experience!
Probably the biggest problem, for me, is the...shall I say...interesting Pseudoscience. Like claiming that Vegetables can have consciousness and the Infamous "Super Carrot" analogy. Outside of that, the film is pretty fine, which an amazing line in the last scene
The Thing From Another World is a perfectly okay 50s Sci-fi film. It's an entertaining watch that is very easy to enjoy. But if you could only see one Thing film, I'd go with John Carpenter's movie.
The Thing From Another World gets a 7.5/10
Now if you excuse me, this Moth's gotta go see another movie for the next review.
Y'all want a hint? Alright. I have this exact street in my home town, but I'm sure no one has died in their sleep here...yet.
I’m sorry if you like the main design but, I just cannot.

A ref sheet for @garretthegator
it’s facial reconstructions of prehistoric humans!!
like, look at this part-homo sapiens, part-neandertal man from well over 30,000 years ago:
doesn’t he just look like a dude you’d wanna hang out with? like he probably washes dishes in the kitchen with you, and has excellent weed
what a charming fellow. what stories he probably has to tell. i’d definitely go shoot the shit with him on Contemplation Rock after i’d finished my day’s work carving a bone flute for the autumn hunting ceremony, or whatever
people have been people ever since people first became people, i tell you what
they all had lives and histories and families and friends and dumb gossip and games they played and total bullshit in which they believed wholeheartedly
they all argued about the nature of the world, and of themselves
they all sang songs
they all drew pictures
they all buried their dead in graves, and they buried their dead in graves well before they did a lot of that other stuff. they buried their dead with flowers, with panther claws, with the bones of animals they’d killed, with the bones of family members who had died at the same time or earlier. they buried their dead with their arms folded across their chests
they fell in love
they took care of their old and their sick and their disabled, even when it cost them
they made new things, and worried about what the new things meant for people everywhere, as a whole
