Anyone can cut video clips together, but it takes a bit of extra work to make something like this, which the fine folks over at Joblo.com apparently put together. It's a little slow in the middle, but I give it credit for ingenuity. Given the reaction of most critics to the Thing prequel, it's hard to say that the cast of the original film is wrong in their assessments. "We can't learn anything from this," indeed.

That was real cute:) Kinda harsh though - I thought the The Thing prequel/remake was supposed to be solid, just unnecessary. I mean, don't get me wrong - the only thing the new Thing's ad campaign made me do was head to Netflix and check out John Carpenter's The Thing (which was awesome). I'm just saying....the doctor was overreacting a bit, huh? :) There's no way the new movie is bad enough to pull a gun out and start wrecking up your sh*t like that!
