From: utzoo!watmath!decvax!cwruecmp!honton Newsgroups: net.movies Title: The Thing (reply to sri-unix.1960) Article-I.D.: cwruecmp.116 Posted: Wed Jun 30 15:45:32 1982 Received: Thu Jul 1 00:30:30 1982 The Thing is based on John Campbell's clasic "Who Goes There?" and follows the storyline quite faithfully. The original Thing is not faithful to "Who Goes There?" and yet is still a good movie. James Arnes as a great vegetable monster made the movie. chas (decvax!cwruecmp!honton)
