Sorry, Clearwater's not a short drive from Deltona! That, and I don't go to clubs. Clubs are for attractive younger people, not average looking 30somethings.
More importantly, though, I saw the prequel to / remake of "The Thing" tonight. Awesome movie, I want to see it again. Nothing tops the original in my book, but the prequel is a very worthy addition to the franchise. I highly recommend it to fans of John Carpenter's movie.

My beard is starting to gray, and the hair that's disappearing from the top of my head seems to be growing out of other unexpected places now. My recommendation, if you have a choice: don't age!
Hope you enjoy The Thing.
(click to show/hide)They did a top-notch job of meshing it with the original. The shot of the alien ship, the scenes from the Norwegian camp -- in the prequel you see all of the events that lead up to the aftermath that the characters in the original see. They did a good job of answering certain questions that were never overtly explained in the first movie, but they don't beat you over the head with the answers, they just sort of show what happens and you have to put it together for yourself.
Although the pacing is different, the prequel manages to capture a lot of the same feeling of paranoia & tension & revulsion for the monster without repeating any of the specific scenes in the original. Heck, even the music is reminiscent of the original. And the special effects for the creature are just fucking awesome.
Normally, I'm opposed to 'remakes' or 'reboots', but this is one of the best. The only other recent 'reboot' that I liked nearly as much was the newest Star Trek movie.
