Poll: hard choice mode activated CONAN v THING dawn of Sophie

[Eight Bit Alien]

You can only choose one

The other one gets deleted from your life completely and you aren't even allowed to talk about it

You can remember it but that's all. No listening to the soundtrack drunk on youtube at 2am

No fun conversation with friends


You can only pick one of the movies

[Eight Bit Alien]

I pick CONAN and I dont even have to think about it. Its a spiritual truth that that is the correct movie to choose over THE THING

[Eight Bit Alien]

you can change your vote if you realize you regret your choice

[cxwx]

I assume this is the 1982 The Thing?

[Eight Bit Alien]

yes

and you would be allowed to talk about The Thing from Another World, or that prequel. Or any future remake.
But if someone said, "Oh man ya know the prequel from 2011 was much better than the original The Thing," you wouldn't be allowed to argue with them. You'd just have to say nothing. It's gone from your life.

All you have are memories

[Eight Bit Alien]

Imagine going for a long walk late at night trying to figure something out, and suddenly out of nowhere you realize the answer to THE RIDDLE OF STEEL.

But you can't tell anyone. You can't even write it down. All because you chose THE THING instead.

Conan is fun, but kind of sloppy, especially the end battle. The Thing is polished like a motherfucker. And I’m not a FED…. I’m a Man in Black.

I’ll give Conan’s OST the nod, though. Especially the Kitchen/Orgy.

[Hunter]

John Carpenter's best vs John Milius and Robert Fleisher comic book adaptations? I'll take The Thing and read the comics if I need a Conan fix.

If you're saying the entire property disappears too, the choice is harder, but still... The mental scars I got from seeing The Thing at a far too early age are now a badge of honor that nothing can tarnish - certainly not some silly poll!

If seen conan more times, so if we're sticking to FACTS

[Brutus Frank]

1000% Conan

The Thing is great and all, but easy choice

[The Bill]

And how did I not know Andre the Giant was Dagoth in the sequel till pretty recently, dagnabit!?

[The Bill]

In the end, it doesn’t matter, because Predator is the best movie, and it’s like a combo of both movie.

Riddle of Steele? Riddle plasma fucking cannon vs mini-gun and grenade launcher, mother fuckers!

Not too hard of a choice for me, The Thing has been a favourite movie for decades. Conan is great fun and has good lines and Schwarzenegger, but it lacks the nuance, suspense, story, and rounded performances that The Thing has.

[Geeheeb]

I had to think about this for 5 sec and I am keeping The Thing

[Toilet Fleet]

I'd gladly Eternal Sunshine all non-Carpenter movies and be a better person for it tbqh

How is Ghost of Mars? I want to say I saw it, but I’m really not sure I did.

[FVBTVS]

we dont talk about that one

[Eight Bit Alien]

Fvbtvbs

It time to choose

[FVBTVS]

head say keep thing

heart say keep conan

[Eight Bit Alien]

See, that's the capital t Truth we're circling here

The Thing is a treasure of the mind, but Conan is a weapon of the heart. And we are creatures made from the crude knitting of both.

I'm not ashamed to be a man of spirit in these cold algebraic seasons

[FVBTVS]

what is steel compared to the hand that wields it
