    “Prodigious artist visits old artist in his home”

    I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Carpenter’s a cool guy, word probably got out he liked Peele’s work and Peele obviously decided to give the old man a visit.

    BTW : Carpenter is still rockin’ on bandcamp with his son.

    I didn’t know John carpenter was still around, I guess I don’t follow social media.

    Anyways: what a funny time to see this as I had just taken a break to get a soda while watching Assault on Precinct 13 when I read this.

      I love the way it’s always assumed that a remake of The Thing would do some kind of service/disservice to John Carpenter.

      He made a fucking remake. If someone else does a remake, it’s fucking whatever. Carpenter did a fantastic fucking remake, but it’s still a remake.

      Like if someone remade The Fly. Cronenberg did a fantastic job. Is it his fucking film? No. It was a remake.

        Friend. I am not going that deep. I like both him and Jordan as directors. I know there is like a “the thing” movie before the one I am talking about with sexy Kurt Russel and Devilishly handsome Keith David, who also voiced the awesome Arbiter in Halo.

        I just know that one and love it a lot and would love for a talented artist to do one or continue the story with little cgi. I like that type of horror, which is all my dude.
