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.
Brilliant film, I love John Carpenter. My favourite is They Live.
That’s a great one as well. That alleyway fight scene is so fucking cool. Carpenter is easily one of the most creative, most fun artists of his generation.
