    It’s John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” But with Pingu

    Yes, we know this has been around for while. But- some Mondays, you just need a good laugh. Like the full belly one we get every single time we watch “Thingu.” You’re hopefully aware of John Carpenter‘s masterful 1982 film “The Thing.” If you don’t know claymation character Pingu, that’s more understandable.

    Lee Hardcastle took it upon himself to use both these things as inspiration to create a stop motion film.

    “A penguin (not called Pingu) has to deal with John Carpenter’s shape shifting alien. A classic parody freshly remastered in HD from original source materials and legalities added to warn that THIS IS NOT PINGU. Intended for mature audiences only. Originally shot in 2011 by Lee Hardcastle while living in a hotel room next to Disney Land, Paris. The original SD Card has resurfaced with the jpg footage. Fast forward 2020, Lee live streams the “remastering” of the footage at http://twitch.tv/leehardcastle and shortly after, Tim Atkins in Toronto, Canada re-created the entire audio from scratch in his fancy work from home sound studio.”

    It’s pretty amazing. Enjoy-

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
