Though I’m sure it won’t be John Carpenter’s original, “The Thing” (despite the title it’s a prequel to the ’83 flick) looks like it’s going to be a pretty slick, well-crafted flick. And hey, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s in it! – The leggy fox made “Make it Happen” actually tolerable, so one might just jump to the feet and bleed-clap after this thing! Whatever the case, I’m seeing it next week and cross my hot buns that it delivers as well as it’s first trailer did.

The first clip from the film premiered today at MTV; the film looks like it comes complete with a sense-of-humour. Good.
