Movie of the Weekend: Hot Summer Nights - Before he became "Timothee Chalamet," he starred in this film about a teenage drug dealer who gets too deep into the game. While it received low reviews, I found the period drama to be well directed with an interesting plot. Find it on Netflix!

Before the release of "The Thing" (1982), John Carpenter attended a market research screening of the movie. After one of those screenings, Carpenter got up and asked the audience their thoughts on the movie. One young girl stood up and asked, "Well what happened in the very end? Which one was the Thing, and which one was the good guy?”

Carpenter replied, "Well, you have to use your imagination.”

She said, “Oh, God. I hate that.”

Carpenter then and there felt that the movie was dead in the water.

When Carpenter was asked if the alternate ending would have made a difference, he said,

"There was absolutely no difference in audience reaction between that and the one we had. So the problem was inherent—the film wasn’t heroic enough, it wasn’t the U.S. Hockey team beating the Russians. That’s what people wanted to see."

("John Carpenter on “The Thing”", Erik Bauer, Creative Screenwriting, 2014)

P.S: On this day, 44 years ago, "The Thing" (1982) was released in the USA and Canada.
