      Antarctica is a pristine place, I’d not defile it with that man. Just drop him in the deep freeze of any Waffle House, wouldn’t even crack the top five weirdest things that happened that night. Let the penguins be!

        Yes, but imagine The Thing 3 returns to original glory and the opening scene is just the Norwegians firing rounds from the helicopter while MacReady’s son is already on the flamethrower, the stars and stripes flapping away in the background… The movie ends just 10 mins in to everyone sitting down for breakfast.
