Why was the Human Torch banned from signing autographs? - lemm.ee

Because it’s unacceptable to sign an autograph using a firearm

John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece The Thing. The themes of paranoia and isolation are so perfectly explored; it launched the career of Keith David, who is just a treasure; the performances are all immaculate; and those effects. My god, the effects.
Absolutely amazing movie, the effects were so ahead of their time!
Right? I can’t watch it with people anymore, because I keep pausing to explain how certain effects were achieved. It’s a monumental achievement.
