I believe that was the general idea.
Well, it's a story, so you can spin just about any way you want, but I'd be willing to bet the writers had it in mind that Blair was already a Thing when he was hauled off to the shed.

I'm inclined to posit that creates like this, while they may cooperate with each other to a general degree (repeatedly inciting confusion and conflict like the Palmer-Thing, for example) so long as the playing field is open, would not be above screwing each other over if they found themselves in a "him-or-me" situation. Such creatures seem unlikely to form, or to be a component of, a gestalt.
I submit it that Blair was already A Thing before he was placed in the shed. He had already ransacked the vehicles for spare parts; he wanted uninterrupted isolation to build his little flying saucer, so he faked psychosis.
But, men really are all evil and sexist....
Yes. This show was full of Lycra-skinned lovelies.
Probably something to do with the "patients who have been damaged".
One of the trailers basically spills the whole thing.
"...and smart version."
That is highly debatable.
Just one of the many, many issues with this travesty...
All are 80s classics, but none of them approach the depth of preteen-scarring levels of scare that RtO does.
Bale fucked that one up too. He always gets it wrong.
Nonsense. Nuts are the perfect low-carb Paleo food.
Half-half, maybe. I thought she was mildly Hispanic, or Mediterranean, as much as I thought about it at all...
Probably only if you're already a homosexual.
In-and-of itself, it's an above average movie. It's quite well done in a number of ways, but it's also engineered to sucker punch anybody that was expecting nothing but another merry romp through Oz with 1939 levels of scary at the worst. I'd say 13 and up are fine, particularly these days, but little kids should not see this film.
It's been a while since I saw the...ahem...films, but I recall McKellen came off as rather wheezy and tired most of the time; Tolkien's Gandalf was anything but.
Whenever I reread the books, Aragorn speaks in John Hurt's voice, and Gandalf in John Huston's.
It was my understanding is that they simply ran out of cash.
Royal Marines. I believe that was the night he died.
