has anyone got "the thing"?
Its a 1982 film I think. I want to know if the R2 version is Anamorphic or letterbox. TIA
RE: has anyone got "the thing"?
Letterbox, just like all the other versions.
The "original" 1951 version is out on 5th August in the US.
for a minute there I thought there was a special collectors ultimate edition coming out soon.

A great film and DVD - its Carpenter at his best (or was that Halloween or Big Trouble in Little China????). Anyhow, when Play.Com are selling for the incredibly stooopid price of £6.99
can you afford not to buy this priceless gem? Lots of extras, as well a film that you can watch many times without getting bored (how many films can say that about?).
BUY IT, Garrddammit, `cos this is classic moviemaking they just dont do anymore.
And, sadly, neither does Carpenter..
I have the R4 version which is letterbox as it`s coded Region 2/4 I assume the R2 version will be the same
My brain hurts
The only non-anamorphic film I deemed worthy of buying, an absolute classic with great extras. Cannot understand why they didn`t anamorphisise(sic) it!?!

RE: has anyone got "the thing"?
i remember going to the cinema to see it, noticed it in hmv(maidstone) today £4.99, is it worth getting this dvd, or will i find it a bit dated and not as good on a 28" tv / 5.1 speaker set up?
Buy it!You will not be disappointed.
RE: has anyone got "the thing"?
the gooey effects are still yet to be bettered by anyone. A real benchmark of a movie.
It doesn`t seem dated at all, even 20 years on.
RE: has anyone got "the thing"?
The images are great but nobody has mentioned the soundtrack!
The audio used in the opening scenes is brilliant.
Buy it.
