    In that lady’s defense, I’m pretty sure the opening scene of The Thing was intentionally written to make people go “what the fuck? why are they shooting at that dog?!”

      Yes, and in the guy’s defense, the rest of the movie is written to reveal more info.

        In that lady’s defense, some people seem to have their internal monologue tuned to the wrong frequency, and usually blurt it out instead.

            Matter of taste. For my part, I don’t like watching movies with anyone who can’t carry a conversation while it’s happening. I love getting the live reactions and theories as the movie is still playing out.

      Also I think they literally tell you (just not in English) why they’re shooting at it at the beginning of the movie.

          He literally says: "Se til helvete og kom dere vekk! Det er ikke en bikkje, det er en slags ting! Det imiterer en bikkje, det er ikke virkelig! Kom dere vekk, idioter!”

          So, I guess that ruins the movie for anyone who understands that.

            Fyi : google translates to : "
            Look to hell and get away! That’s not a dog, that’s some kind of thing! That’s imitating a dog, it’s not real! Get away, you idiots!"
