No!
It's called The Thing from Another World, and it's a pretty basic 50s monster movie. If you're into that kind of thing, it's probably fine, but it's nowhere near as good as the 80s version.
It helps that the story stays fairly grounded, even despite dealing with body-snatching alien parasites. There are no crazy powers or lasers, no nonsense sci-fi technology (we only see the spacecraft, it never does anything), the characters are all vulnerable at all times and act realistically for people who cannot trust one another. None of them are Rambo or Dutch, they mostly try to stay away from the monster and only hunt it or fight when left with no other options, and in the end we don't even know if they won.
The Thing itself is more like a cunning predator rather than some unfathomable, unbeatable monstrosity. It dies to intense heat just like any flesh organism, and can be neutralized by extreme cold. It never displays any abilities that are so outlandish that the viewer can't imagine this strange, grotesque parasite could reasonably have.
It is the pinnacle of "monster slasher" cinema, and is why people are constantly trying to replicate it. The Thing and Alien basically *created* the "Disgusting fleshy-biomass infesting the environment" concept, and The Thing specifically is definitely the inspiration for a lot of Horror games to date.
Dead Space, and more recently, the very stellar Still Wakes the Deep for some very notable mentions. Resident Evil series at large has also very clearly taken cues from it.
Just about any piece of media with a flesh monster in it was inspired by The Thing.
I'm honestly curious why you feel this way. Practical effects are definitely better than bad CGI, but good CGI is infinitely better than even the best practical effects. Shit just looks so goofy and obviously fake...takes me right out of the story.
I remember watching the 1951 original with my grandfather a handful of years ago, having never known before finding it at his house that Carpenter's movie was loosely based on it.
Movie was terrible lol
Not even schlocky-good, just...not good.
This is incomplete pollination, pretty common. Strawberries are self-pollinating but sometimes conditions aren’t ideal and some blossoms don’t get fully pollinated. Fruit quality is better when insects help get the job done.
I can tell you’re kind of joking, but if you ever get the chance, buy some wild strawberry seeds and grow them organically. They are tiny, but completely otherworldly compared to domesticated strawberries. It tastes like everything you subconsciously knew a berry should taste like. Like what all of the fake berry flavors in candy are trying and failing horribly to emulate. 100% worth it
I get wild strawberries all over my yard, neighbors do too. Some even put signs asking not to walk there because of the berries, so much better than store bought. Yes tiny, but they're not completely white on the inside like store bought. So so good
I’ve heard that about bananas … like that artificial banana taffy flavor is based on a now extinct species of banana… there are hundreds that we’ve never tasted bc big banana prefers one strain… that is now at risk of collapse bc a certain pest prefers that strain as well… TLDR fuck a mono-crop… diversity your crop-folio
It is actually not completely extinct, you can still find those types of bananas people grow in their home gardens. You can also order them online. It is only mass production of those bananas which came to an end. Just look them up, it was the Gros Michel or the big Mike banana is what you are looking for.
*Gros Michel* or Big Mike was the wildly popular banana until the 50s, when a fungus wiped out nearly all of them. Since most banana plantations are all *clones*, susceptibility to any disease is astronomically high. There is a Gros Michel - Cavendish (current popular banana, now facing its own demise) hybrid that is resistant to the fungus. Idk if growers are just milking the Cavs until they can't or what.
Any tips on soil I could buy that would actually grow anything? We have all clay here and have tried so many store bought soils and techniques and nothing will really grow. Miss being back home where I could grow anything without even trying. Once left a pack of seeds out back and months later they had taken a life of their own. Didn’t even plant them
I’m in Indiana. We used a 50/50 mix of compost/manure & container soil (miracle gro brand), with some perlite. I also give plant food to all the plants weekly, on Sundays. We keep all ours outside because of the compost lol brings bugs inside which we found out quickly. They get ample sunlight where we have the container mounted (perched on our back deck to keep critters out) and have several holes drilled on the bottom to help keep them well-drained.
It gets hot and humid here during the summer, and our yard gets SO much sun, so I have to water them frequently - the care tag says to only water them every few days, but with the heat I’ve been watering them every evening, and in the mornings if needed. They’re thriving! Ensuring you have proper nutrients, water supply, and sunlight are most important, and those may need to be tweaked a bit depending on your area’s climate.
That was my guess too. I've grown and picked many strawberries and never seen anything like this. It does remind my of corn that didn't get pollinated well.
It’s been pretty cold here in SF. Haven’t seen a lot of bees. Saved a few from the cold. Warm them up, give them some sugar water and hope they get enough energy to make it back to the hive.
I know heirloom tomatoes are supposed to look funky, but I don't think there is such a thing as heirloom strawberries, and if they looked like that, I would make sure they never reproduce again.
The term ‘organic’ means edible. Marketing professionals started to use the term to describe higher quality products (ie, no pesticides, etc.). Thing is, if it’s not labeled organic then it shouldn’t be edible. People have been brain washed. I’m 60 btw and was alive way before all this BS started.
I’m allergic to them and used to be sad I couldn’t eat them until I discovered what the seeds technically are.
I’m not so fussed I can’t eat them anymore and I’m DEFINITELY not fussed I can’t eat that one.
Ugly ass berry wannabe looking like a moldy blood clot stuck to a rotting excuse of a stem. He's only half the strawberry he could every want to be. Even his seed is a disgrace to procreation. Trying so hard but looking like floppy parasite-ridden fool. He thinks he's the man because he has more balls than the average guy but his balls are looking like a tumor mass, what an embarrassment. Doing an injustice to strawberries everywhere and he dares to call himself "organic." If I was his mother plant I would not bear to look at his face and call that my son.
Burn it. Hellfire now.
What film is this? Looks like the thing or something
It is the original the thing
Actually it's from the 1982 version the original thing was made in 1951
Is the 1951 version worth watching?
No! It's called The Thing from Another World, and it's a pretty basic 50s monster movie. If you're into that kind of thing, it's probably fine, but it's nowhere near as good as the 80s version.
I watched the 80’s version recently and it still holds up. One of the best monster movies ever.
Practical effects will always beat out CGI to me. We need more puppets damn it!
💯 you said it mang! That’s why the original Jurassic Park still stands the test of time

It's worth watching it for what it is, a campy '50s monster movie. Now if you want a great '50s monster movie that still holds up today, The Blob.
Added The Blob to watchlist ty
YES.
You’re blowing my mind
It's from the 1982 remake.
It’s from the 2024 presidential debate.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”
Best movie ever.
God, it’s all Cronenberged.
Underrated comment.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know. It’s been cold here in SF and I haven’t been seeing as many bees. 🐝 All my strawberries are a little wonky.
thank you!!! i was hoping for a real answer to wtf was up with the eldritch strabery
I prefer my monstrous bulging GMO strawberries

Our rabbit loves them. I love seeing her face light up when I bring one I found in the yard.

We tried growing strawberries this year, they are doing so well! They taste much better than store bought, and I enjoy seeing them grow ☺️

I like cherries ... and no comitment
That’s a melted blow pop with the wrapper half off, you can’t trick me old man. 
Eat it you fucking coward
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
That's what I was looking for. Lol
What circle of hell did that come from?
I've never seen an evil strawberry before
Damn, Nature, you scary.
Organic means self grown, sure. But not from your genes OP 😭
You mean OP is rising a homunculus?
*Organ-like. Your autocorrect was wrong there.
Organ-ish?
Aw boo, that's better than mine
It just didn’t get adequate pollination.
That was my guess too. I've grown and picked many strawberries and never seen anything like this. It does remind my of corn that didn't get pollinated well.
That looks like it came out of a body horror show/movie
It's over riped to a zombieberry
r/EatItYouFuckinCoward
Damn, is the sun in a bad mood or something?
If that’s organic, shoot mine up with pesticide, please!
Cronenberry. I blame Rick Sanchez.
It's natural, due to bad pollination. Fun fact: some researchers even hand out strawberry plants in areas as a way to monitor bee population decline.
um, sad fact?
It’s been pretty cold here in SF. Haven’t seen a lot of bees. Saved a few from the cold. Warm them up, give them some sugar water and hope they get enough energy to make it back to the hive.
Biblically accurate strawberry
The strawberrocalypse is coming...
Feed me, Seymour.
It's mom had been touched by some naughty grapes.
That’s a dingleberry
Organic? That thing is a dang organ! Pancreas looking mother fucker
I know heirloom tomatoes are supposed to look funky, but I don't think there is such a thing as heirloom strawberries, and if they looked like that, I would make sure they never reproduce again.
Insufficient polination
Do you live in Chernobyl?
Damn Africa, what happened? -Kevin G
Frankenberry - not the cereal.
 did it make a weird noise when you picked it up?
That's definitely been through Seth Brundle's teleport pods.
Get you some pollinators.
:(
Looks like scarlet rot if it were a strawberry.

It’s a little toooo organic
Hellberry
Organic gone wild 🥴
mmmmmmm… nope.
It looks infected
What the f#ck is this abomination!🤮
That is an organism strawberry.
Looks like it came from "the zone".
That's hideous! How'd it taste?
Well.. cancer is organic too.
How did it taste?
Ayo I read orgasmic strawberry oml💀
Oh my! I couldn’t have prepared for this mentally if I’d wanted to. You…you created a monster.
What i imagine a lovecraftian god’s nutsack looks like
That’s a BOO BERRY!
The hangin’-on-by-a-straw berry
Should see banana.
I think there was some inbreeding going on here.
This makes me highly uncomfortable 😳
Uneven pollination. Need more bees.
I think your ground is irradiated
Sometimes the king berries (1st of the season) are a little funky.
You gonna eat that?
“Kill me…”
Looks like the Chernobyl varietal "Cernobus Mutatis" aka the sweet puckered sphincter strawberry...
Congrats! Kill it ❤️
r/TIHI
More of a biohazard than organic.
That looks like satan took a shit
Thanks for the nightmares, bud.
Mutant strawberry
*mutated strawberry
What did it taste like?
Mr Smithers approves
For once I'm glad I'm allergic to strawberries.
Hellish.
thats a LAST-straw berry
Lord
That's how strawberries say "kill me."
r/oddlyterrifying
Did you eat it?
It's a strawberry-rose
The naaaaasty pattty
Biblically accurate strawberry
Don’t eat it or make jam or a tart with it.
Nature gone wild
KILL IT WITH FIRE
Did you eat it?
It's saying ... kill meee
Burn it
Grown in your armpit?
Organic? Look like Monsanto running experiments lol
The term ‘organic’ means edible. Marketing professionals started to use the term to describe higher quality products (ie, no pesticides, etc.). Thing is, if it’s not labeled organic then it shouldn’t be edible. People have been brain washed. I’m 60 btw and was alive way before all this BS started.

But but what about the mutant organic strawberry?
What
I’m allergic to them and used to be sad I couldn’t eat them until I discovered what the seeds technically are. I’m not so fussed I can’t eat them anymore and I’m DEFINITELY not fussed I can’t eat that one.
