Met the legend himself

I also had him sign my Assault on Precinct 13 poster. I was nervous to meet him because I knew I was going to kiss his ass and he apparently hates that. Anyway, I tried not to- still did. He was very kind and responsive to any questions I had. You have to meet the legend if you ever have the chance to.

The Thing Won, But FInds Out He Has Competition In Conquering Earth

The thing manages to beat the crew of the outpost. Then hitches a ride back to america. Only to find out he's not alone on the planet with just the humans. Whether it can naturally see them or actually found out through assimilating one. It has managed to find out that earth is under a secret invasion from the ghoul aliens.

So the stage is set, does the thing manage to infiltrate the alien ghoul society and eventually rule over them and assimilate them. Or will the thing get its own "this isn't your planet to conquer" moment.

My Kurt Russell and John Carpenter autographs

Got these at Fan Expo Chicago this weekend. They were both very cool and nice! Unfortunately Kurt was signing tons of stuff that was constantly being slid over to him by staff so there wasn’t really much interaction with him but I got to speak a little bit to him when I had my photo taken with him. He touched my Shoulder, asked if I liked Snake (I was cosplaying him) and he liked my Snake ita bag, and that’s all that matters to me. I did get to speak to John more, I told him EFNY and EFLA were my favorite movies and I showed him my Snake ita bag and he was surprisingly impressed by it (lol). John called me “sweetheart” and I will never get over that (in a good way)

The Big Trouble in Little China neon prop sign has been repaired!

I finished up the repair of the sign this week. In my last post, some folks asked for a video of the sign, so here it is in all its glory! The sign is on permanent public display at Movie Madness, in Portland, Oregon.⚡️🐉

Neither of Them are Things, and I Can Prove It | The Thing (1982) Explained

This is a very good explanation of what is probably the most succinct video that I know of, that breaks down or myth busts some seriously bat shit crazy theories out there.

If this has already been posted, well fuck me...
