The Thing III took a while to get started, but at frame 104525, heroine MacReady was born.  As a prequel, it's a fail, but as a heroine movie it works.  She wasn't in any other heroine warrior movies.  She was 27 as MacReady. 

The star of the Thing series to lions was always the flame thrower from day 1.  The 1st time that lit up the Union City drive-in, lions were hooked on flame throwers.  It was very ineffective as a military weapon because of its short range, short firing time, weight, & size.  As a close in weapon against aliens, it had a lot going for it.

The world needs more movies about heroines shooting flame throwers.

 


 

Sigourney's scene never did it for lions because she looked scared & was in a mothering role.  Heroine MacReady was fighting for the vengeance of her fallen men.



Kind of fitting that the final alien mutation was the antagonist from the beginning.  There's an extra terror because the man's anger was replaced by the anger of the alien.  The story would have been easier if the men didn't all look identical.





They finally threw the heroine a bone by revealing the helicopter pilot lost his earring & didn't remember what side it was on.  He actually survived the crash without mutating & had it until they reached the spaceship.  He mutated while they were separated inside the spaceship.


There was always the chance she could have mutated & killed him off as the last human, so audience members were wise to frame step around.  The final flamethrowing had him let out alien sound effects.

Heroine MacReady's last heroine warrior role before hitting 40 & disappearing was a green skin bit part in Ahsoka.  TV shows never end, but fortunately Ahsoka was shitcanned after 8 episodes.  That was the peak of Disney's failed woke era. 

She married Obi Wan Kenobi in a feat of star wars romance in 2022, but more likely a move to get a part in the star wars franchise in 2023.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a sou...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they ...
