Can someone who knows about Battlenet and games and stuff like that (I know zero about video games) read the last paragraph on this article? It's about a movie, so I don't know if it belongs here. It certainly needs to be NPOVed ("one of the funnest use map settings map ever" --- I can get rid of "funnest" but I have no idea what a "map setting map" is. Is that a typo?)

Wasn't there also a comic book about The Thing?

Yes. Dark Horse Comics released a comic book set after the movie.

Since it's mentioned in the Sequel section that the Dark Horse comic is the same direction Carpenter would have set his sequel in, perhaps a line or two about the plot of the comic would be appropriate. CFLeon 22:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People were worried about AIDS in 1982? I doubt it. This text should probably be removed. Uucp 17:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions that a mini-series was announced in 2004 and says to search the Internet Movie Database for details. I've looked but I cant find any info about a mini-series based on The Thing at imdb.com or anywhere else. Does anyone else have any info about it? DarthJesus 08:15, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is that mentioned at all? Those hostages were released following the inaguration of of President Ronald Wilson Reagan in 1980. This movie was released in 1982.
