@Mob I agree. The original was amazing and no remake could ever top it. But the new movie was a prequel and I think it was a great ad-on to the original. But no where near as good as it.
For the record, yes I did mean the original, but I had the poster for the prequel saved on my computer. But to be honest I liked both.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Hey. Hey guys. Look at the tags. Click on the one that says ‘the thing’ and has the number 18 in parentheses. We’ve already ‘made it happen.’ And to chime in on the prequel thing, I love the ’82 movie, one of my favourites, and I loved the prequel. Not as good, of course, but solid.

Then filter them out.
I’m getting so tired of these “MAKE IT HAPPEN” pics.
Oooooh, I get it now.

What prequel?  
There was no prequel to the John Carpenter one.
 
Oh right there was… it sucked really bad… what was I talking about?
I also meant to add.
 
The events in this film take place before the events in John Carpenter’s The Thing. Therefore, it is a PREQUEL.
@Nightjack
 
Let me be more specific. THIS movie, the 2011 The Thing film, is a direct PREQUEL to John Carpenter’s The Thing.
 
It is not a remake.

Ok, to make sense on what I mean, it started as a short novel “Who Goes There?”, the bases for the move “The Thing from Another World” that was called The Thing before the John Carpenter movie that was a remake of it, and this one was so bad to me I some how blocked it from my mind.  
So i got confused by you saying prequel, THERE IS NO PREQUEL… see blocked it from my mind again, that fast.
there’s this fanfic ‘The First Week Of Winter’ which is based off The Thing

I actually saw a video of the practical animatronics. Holy shit they were fucking amazing. Then I read that they just put mediocre CG on top of the animatronics. Fucking insulting.
 
Here’s the making of video.

Oh wait, I was thinking of The Thing from Another World.
@Nightjack
 
Nope, takes place in the German camp they find destroyed in the original.
Actually, ignore first link, this one is better quality:

The prequel tried so hard. But in the end it felt like a copy with the thrills of the original without the character development or the awesome animatronics.
I someone made an animated crossoverversion of The Thing with Pingu.

Prequel? I have seen both and I thought it was a remake…
IT’S CLOBBERING—wrong one
@Clowndicks
 
I hope he means the Original.
I just had this thought yesterday, are you a mind-reader? :O
Make it so number one.
 
Also that’s the prequel poster.
 
sigh
 
I heard it wasn’t very good.
The amazing original or the mediocre prequel?
