I feel some are looking at this point at face value, which on the surface is a bit basic, and yes cannot be overlooked. If you think of this from a psychological point of view, the mere thought of a older woman being one with a younger version of herself was reason enough for her to go along with it.
Keep in mind the type of woman she is as well, she grew up and spent most of her life with a ritzy "forever young" mentality, think of the many women in Hollywood that get plastic surgery, they do this to look, or even feel younger. I get the points you're trying to make, but even if, I can still see a woman of Demi's kind in the movie going along with something like this.
Later on in the film, your points were met when she started screwing with the younger version of herself when she realized there's no going back, so it's not like these topics were ignored.
Probably a unpopular opinion​, but I thought part 2 was pretty good, despite it's (failed) attempt at making it a kids movie.
No denying that part 3 and everything thereafter was a massive shit show. Verhoeven wasn't apart of anything after the first part, which made things pretty predictable in how the universe turned out.
Will be missed.. one of the greats and forever remembered. RIP
I still consider it one of my favorite sci-fi flicks, it's one of my annual watches. I personally wouldn't change anything about it and think it's aged pretty well. I'd still recommend it to others, have, and they liked it as well.
Don't bother watching a documentary on OJ unless it's the OJ: Made in America series. There's so much that occurred during that whole ordeal, and Made in America covers all of it, and is probably one of the best documentaries ever.
There are in fact heavy racial themes with the OJ story, for obvious reasons if you knew what happened.
I actually never proclaimed anywhere that I liked the movie or not. I don't need to like a movie to know whether or not you're wrong about something. Since you did manage to insinuate such a thing, seemingly because I came across your misleading insinuation about "The Thing (1982)" being a reboot/remake/whatever of "The Thing from Another World (1951)", and this misleading incorrect statement of such happened to be on "The Thing (1982)'" board in particular.. on top of being wrong and a troll, you're also now prejudice and short sighted.
Good job.
Ok. You're wrong. But apparently you like being wrong. Or you're just a troll, none the less I'm not biting but I'm sure someone else will.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about since "The Thing (1982)" isn't a remake, or reboot, sequel, or anything of "The Thing from Another World (1951)", but rather a adaptation of the "Who goes there?" novella. They are literally two entirely different movies that happen to share a couple of the ideas from the novella.
Edit: and by a couple I literally mean 1) Cold place, and 2) Alien.
Pretty sure that wasn't what they were trying to point out in the movie. They were pointing out that she remembered his helmet because it was left in her residence, not whoever the guy was. I don't recall them explaining anywhere in the movie that they shared consciousness. The way I took it is they shared each other's heights throughout the week in the form of dream sequences. If they did in some way share the entire week I don't think either of them remembered fully what the other did throughout the week. This seems evident when Elizabeth wakes up and sees the new billboard with Sue on it, and her reaction to that, seemingly as if she was just realizing that Sue had been somewhere and was doing other things without her.
