Movie: The Thing

Article:

I just watched the 2011 version of "The Thing". I have never seen the original movie but I have seen the version from 1982 and it was fantastic. The 2011 version is not scary by any means. It keeps you on the edge of your seat but  I am not exactly sure why. The graphics were very animated and the ending was really nothing different from the first one in the sense of...


SPOILER ALERT: Mostly everyone dies.

The only thing that sets this movie apart from the others is that it is new. New cast and what not. Personally I thought the 1982 version was so much better because they did not use CGI as much as they used animatronics and real special effects. Another thing that was fairly underwhelming was the speed of the movie. I felt everything was a bit... rushed. 90% of the cast was killed directly after the first escape of the monster alien. That I felt was a bit much. Towards the end you could basically tell what was going to happen next.

I did find it interesting how they tied it together with the 1982 version of the movie. They basically played this movie as the Prequel to the 1982 version. All in all I really need to download the other movie because I believe that is truly the one that is worth watching.

Overall the entire concept of the "The Thing" is just absolutely awesome. There is nothing more terrifying than this in my opinion.

9/10

If you have not watched the movie yet then please go out and watch it. It is amazing. I would recommend watching the 1982 version because it is SOOOOOoooooo much better.

Sickness

Article:

I swear... I have not been this sick in so long... I have had too many things wrong with me since I moved into this apartment. It seems a little too coincidental. I think I need to move but I am not really sure if I am ready to do that already. In the last 6 months I have had flu like symptoms, lung congestion, asthma, Strep, headaches, and stress related problems. I do not know that things will be better at another place, however I feel like that may prevent some of the health related problems as a result. 


Next little thing that has been brought to our attention is we think we have a mouse problem. Andrea was cleaning the kitchen when she started to find little black pellets of mouse excrement all over the counter. After her full clean up and bleaching process I am trying to think of a humane way of getting rid of the mouse. I do not want to kill it I just want to trap it so I can move it outside somewhere else. I am not sure but I would imagine they have 'humane' traps somewhere in the stores. Something that just traps it instead of killing it.

Ugh... A little break from all of this shit would be nice.

Strep

Article:

Wow... I did not realize how much I hated Strep Throat... I have had this for five days and I am just ready to remove my throat completely in order to get rid of this Bull S!*$.

Apparently this is going around at the moment so if anyone reads this they may have an easier time getting to a doctor instead of going to the ER when it is at it's worst.
