One of the unexpected joys I’ve found with the Steam Machine is playing BOTW again (Wii U version via Cemu) at 4K 60fps with mods and cheats (infinite durability ftw). Really nice experience with the Steam Controller, too
The Thing
🎬 Currently in Development 🔨
Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures are actively developing a new project based on The Thing (1982).
While it is frequently referred to as a "remake," the film is actually being planned as a brand-new adaptation of Frozen Hell, the unedited, novel-length version of John W. Campbell Jr.’s original 1938 novella, "Who Goes There?"
This means the new movie will feature expanding lore, chapters, and ideas that were entirely missing from both the 1951 film and John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece.
Horror powerhouse Blumhouse is steering the project. Producer Jason Blum confirmed they are working heavily on it, though concrete plot details remain locked down.
John Carpenter himself is actively tied to the development. He has repeatedly teased the project during fan conventions—including a recent update where he dropped a characteristically cryptic "We're working on it now".
There is ongoing mystery around its final format. While the studio initially pitched it as a Frozen Hell adaptation, Carpenter has heavily implied it could double as a true "The Thing 2". He previously noted interest in exploring what happened to MacReady (Kurt Russell) and Childs (Keith David) after the open-ended conclusion of the 1982 film.
There's a guy in the ad who is a representative of the Peanuts company, and he's the only person in the ad to really enunciate the word "Peanuts" so that is doesn't sound like penis lol
When I was 12 I owned a VHS that had a Charlie Brown promo with a guy who very clearly said “penis videos” instead of “peanuts videos” and I replayed it so many times I broke the tape.
I just digitized an old copy, tell me this dude didn’t know EXACTLY what he was doing lmao
Something very #telling about how, days after it was revealed they dropped using Chinese in Avatar and started using a fake vaguely Asian-looking substitution script now we get their Greco-Babylonian zodiac signs instead of, say, Chinese Zodiac. Garbage.
If you're a game designer and make it so I have to stand next to the audio log in order to listen to it, I unfortunately have no other choice but to assume you're a white supremacist.
If you're a game designer and you make it so there's a constant audible alert when I'm low on health, I unfortunately have no choice but to assume you're a pedophile.
This is one of the most annoying pseudointellectual opinions which has gained popularity lately. While I don't doubt there's some shit that gets produced with cropping in mind, centre framing is just extremely common across the entirety of cinema history
i hate this so bad but for some reason every time it pops back up on the tl i have to watch it and hate every second of it all over again. masochism in its purest form
