Both of those countries have sovereign cultures and influence. Sweden doesn't really have a strong native culture aside from LOL meatballs, IKEA and music (all modern Swedish music is just directly influenced by popular American music anyway, read; rap of the urban youth). That's why American culture has become so pervasive here, people speak perfect English, know American news events better than Swedish ones, only watch American shows, etc etc.
How many times has the USA controlled your politicians or dragged you in to a war for their benefit? And the majority of casualties or injuries in the UK's army during all the wars in the middle east was from American friendly fire. Germany has been cucked beyond belief by America since WW2 as well.
What culture has Sweden lost thanks to America? England is basically little America now and the Germans have basically nothing too.
The gunner was portrayed by producer(?) Larry Franco. Also the maligned prequel is consistent about Lars being the monolingual pleb scrub. Literally everyone else in the camp speaks English except for Lars, and this language gap between Lars and Kate is actually a nice dramatic detail. 80 percent of communication is non-verbal so it's not a major problem.
The prequel was gay as frick with that. "Oh everyone except the two guys who will be alive at the end can speak perfect English" how fricking convenient

Do you think the snow just stays there forever? Like it's been there for hundreds of years without ever melting and getting new snow fall? Do you ever fricking THINK?! THINK, Black person! THINK!

because it doesn't exist.
any time I see someone b***hing about sea levels rising and they mention an actual place, it's always the place just sinking.
No, no one is claiming the danger is from the Earth actually turning into Waterworld. Stop being a putz. It is causing the coastal regions to flood like crazy, which is where everyone lives, which drives mass migration all over. Storms and hurricanes become larger and worse. Winters shorter, summers hotter, areas that were fine and livable become more unbearable and desertified again driving migration. Try actually looking into what you whine about instead of just looking like an idiot.

They actually do say this. So you can't tell me that they don't, because I've heard them say exactly that. They think the Earth will flood and parts of the world will be under water. They have said exactly that. You can't trick me or convince me otherwise from what I have heard them say out of their mouths.

Thanks for confirming you really don't know shit. So you're saying no one in the climate change community has ever claimed when the ice caps melt that parts of the world won't be under water? No one ever said this? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Dumb anime Black person. Ever heard of water evaporating?
I know next to nothing about him but he strikes me as someone who would be bored if not totally cringed by chess metaphors and dumbed down movie chess.
he's a Norwegian scientist that can barely speak Norwegian. Perhaps the language center in his brain was damaged. I was proud to see my country represented in this timeless kino, through this moronic character. People here always make fun of this scene because his Norwegian "accent" sounds terrible.
>Ok, I'm gonna need all of you to deposit a sample of sperm into my doll here. Then we're gonna test it with this hot needle. We're gonna find out which one of you is the Thing.
It was so fricking weird hearing that guy, and I still can't fully comprehend what the hell he was saying. I know fluent swedish, and I can understand norwegian most of the time, but not a single word uttered from this guy's mouth was intelligible. I dont know if the actor was not actually norwegian, or if that was an extremely thick dialect but really i couldnt understand a thing he said
I want to think that McMurdo sent an investigative team to find out what happened. The Thing is now dead and no longer a threat. The team finds the alien UFO and begins studying it. This technology leaps humanity ahead into futuristic space travel. It's the origin story of how humanity finally broke out into colonizing the galaxy. So even though it was a tragic tale, it had a happy continuation.
I also want to think that the owner of the ship was a nice, peaceful race and they'd be friends with humans. But they are explorers and had run across some new world then accidentally got infected by the thing creature causing them to crash on Earth.
>The Thing is now dead and no longer a threat.
pretty sure Mac and childs were both the thing(s) and that is why they drank petrol at the end before they froze
>So even though it was a tragic tale, it had a happy continuation.
What if the extra terrestrial equivalent of the norwegian guy appears to take out the infestation having tracked it to earth?
Sits in orbit and releases a self-replicating nanobot swarm that comes down to earth and devours every single organic cell on the planet just to be safe.
Sad days.
well, the ship had crashed there hundreds of thousands of years ago. So that's unlikely that they'd still be tracking it and intent on sterilizing the planet
His own private quarters AND his own private office, both larger than the communal sleeping areas combined.
Frick it, I'm not listening to anyone snoring, I'm dragging my bunk to the supply room.
The comical way the other Norwegian guy drops the grenade, and then how he tries digging it out in a stupid way instead of running, are some of the very few things that annoys me about this movie.
It barely matters but surely they could have at least gotten another take where it doesn't look like he dropped the thing on purpose.
Highly educated university graduated scientist? From a first world county where english is mandatory study since middle school? Nah.
It was the 80s man.
Any highly educated scientist anywhere in the world would speak English from the 1940's onward.
>county
hah, fail
he was Swedish
Swedes have best english in nothern Europe
That's because we're an American vassal state. The most of any country in Europe.
Oh nononono
That would be Germany or the UK

They're not Swedish they're Norwegian
I like how you don't even have to understand the language, you still hear him say "thing" and that's all you need as a viewer

Please do not reference that garbage heap ever again on this board
Hey you. Yeah, you. C'mere.
Frick You, I Liked It
The prequel was gay as frick with that. "Oh everyone except the two guys who will be alive at the end can speak perfect English" how fricking convenient
most = not all
Most norwegians don't even know norwegian lmao! They have two languages!
Americans should learn more than one language
jesus christ, if this is real why would swedish people even continue watching the film?
Even if he had spoken English the Americans would have just assumed he was a nutcase.
I like how there's barely any snow in one shot and then it completely changes in the next, thanks climate change
>le climate change
Do you think the snow just stays there forever? Like it's been there for hundreds of years without ever melting and getting new snow fall? Do you ever fricking THINK?! THINK, Black person! THINK!
Perfectly normal!
ban ice farming
Nah we should just ban people from living and taking up resources
to be fair, that guy with the gasoline engine is part of the problem.
>chad rowboat man aware
>rubber dinghy man polluting everything
You should lead by example.
And the sea levels stayed exactly the same. They always warn, if the ice melts then parts of the Earth will be under water! Yet, never happens.
>Please dont look at the actual rise of the sea levels
because it doesn't exist.

Waterworld would be kino
Jews drive immigration, not climate.
Do you? No, you don't.
>film opens with a chess game
>has chess metaphor throughout
>Norwegians
I wonder if Magnus has seen it. And if so, what he thinks of it.
I know next to nothing about him but he strikes me as someone who would be bored if not totally cringed by chess metaphors and dumbed down movie chess.
Gen Z ones do, but this was set in the 80s, so the Norwegians would have grown up in the 60s/70s, probably less common to learn English then
>Aww who's a good boy? You're safe now. We won't let those nasty Swedes get you. Come on inside, you can share my dinner and sleep in my bed tonight.
Maybe he wasn't assimilated because the Thing liked good pets.
IRL he is a pedo
>watch clark
It's remarkable that most people dont know that co2 makes up 0.04% of earths atmosphere.

Why dont you ask germans how they feel about ACHTUNG SCHPITFIYA some time.
>me and my gf watching Das Ding
>I just want to get drunk and go to my shack
really makes one ponder

it's worse than you thought. he's danish
You're not supposed to understand him. That would spoil the movie!
>hurgen yurgin flyurgin
there I spoke Norwegian ez pz
Like all other nordic languages norwegian is just "german but even more moronic".
Norwegian is just less moronic danish which is just less moronic german
oh yeah frick that's danish, sorry
what's the norwegian stereotype food again?
that fermented shark and aquavit?
that's swedish, fårikål (lamb and cabbage) is the most typical norwegian dish
frick I am way off today
Norwegian food is salmon and sheeps heads and dried fish
Imagine finally getting to go to Antarctica and it looks like this
bet they throw some wild parties every so often
I assume that's the most populated station though? The rest of the continent is just empty, or with one station here and there.
Yeah that's Mcmurdo station, the "capital" with 1500 people
did they really get pushed to the coast because of the original inhabitants of the island?
I want to think that McMurdo sent an investigative team to find out what happened. The Thing is now dead and no longer a threat. The team finds the alien UFO and begins studying it. This technology leaps humanity ahead into futuristic space travel. It's the origin story of how humanity finally broke out into colonizing the galaxy. So even though it was a tragic tale, it had a happy continuation.
Yes, happy. Until they find more of that species in space. Imagine finding its homeworld.
I also want to think that the owner of the ship was a nice, peaceful race and they'd be friends with humans. But they are explorers and had run across some new world then accidentally got infected by the thing creature causing them to crash on Earth.
>The Thing is now dead and no longer a threat.
pretty sure Mac and childs were both the thing(s) and that is why they drank petrol at the end before they froze
I don't think Mac was, but Childs is, according to the Thing game which Carpenter regarded as canon.
that makes sense..now that I think about it Mac did not drink he gave the bottle to childs.
Childs isn't infected in the game, he's frozen to death.
Isn't he where the initial infection in the game comes from?
pretty sure he got infected when he did a marijuana with palmer
>So even though it was a tragic tale, it had a happy continuation.
What if the extra terrestrial equivalent of the norwegian guy appears to take out the infestation having tracked it to earth?
Sits in orbit and releases a self-replicating nanobot swarm that comes down to earth and devours every single organic cell on the planet just to be safe.
Sad days.
well, the ship had crashed there hundreds of thousands of years ago. So that's unlikely that they'd still be tracking it and intent on sterilizing the planet
In the 80s? And the guy looks 50? He probably graduated in like 1960, learning English wasn't all that common back then.
not that one
Who would be the worst roommate? I'd say Blair
Obviously palmer.
who was clark and gary room?
Gary had his own large room since he was commander of the base. Clark, um... may have slept in the kennels
in my head I think he resided in unseen room
for me, it's The Quiet Room
His own private quarters AND his own private office, both larger than the communal sleeping areas combined.
Frick it, I'm not listening to anyone snoring, I'm dragging my bunk to the supply room.
Better than most native speakers I would say
The comical way the other Norwegian guy drops the grenade, and then how he tries digging it out in a stupid way instead of running, are some of the very few things that annoys me about this movie.

Always cracks me up, and the pause when he gets the grenade out of the helicopter as well
>badass action hero shot getting ready to throw the grenade
>immediately botches it and kills his stupid buddy
Oh those Swedes, what a farcical people
Wait a second, that's the pilot right? Lars is the one with the gun? Why does the pilot come out on the wrong side?
it wasn't really a grenade, it was termite.
iirc they had fotogen in the heilcopter
i don't know what that is but termite is actually explosive when covered in ice
oh my bad, it's swedish for fuel oil
well, that explains it, then.
YT! YT! KOM VECH DERE!
>Someone in this thread is a Thing
My singles prove it's not me
Repeating numbers get burned
Norway is Swedish.
Gfgfcgf
he wasn't even speaking actual norwegian, it was almost gibberish
yes he was you homosexual. you fricking southerners cant understand even the simplest dialects if your lives depended on it
he's not even norwegian you moron, what fricking dialect do you think he's speaking?
SÆUF FØR LEIF
sweet, köttbullar fight
They don't have köttbullar in Norwei, just fish.
Most people born before 1980 suck at english or can’t speak it at all since they only really thought how to read english before then
t. norwegian
