This week in class we watched the sci-fi horror film, "The Thing". I thought this movie was disturbing, but almost comical. The effects looked really fake which made it kind of funny. I found the plot of the movie interesting. The fact that anyone can have a 'thing' living inside 
them is strange. A similar idea has been used in other pieces of science fiction, and the idea that people can be living among us with super powers like in the television show Heroes. Also when I was a kid I used to think that my parents were aliens and would un-zip their human exterior while I was sleeping, so this movie reminded me of that. The most memorable moment for me in this movie was when the man he was trying to recesitate's stomach opened up like a mouth and bit his arms off. Strange bloddy tenticals were everywhere and then the thing was lit on fire but the head dripped down the table onto the floor, used its tounge to move away from the flame and sprouted legs. I don't think I will ever forget that image. I also liked how the end of the film ended and you don't know what happens to the only two survivors.
