The Christmas Chronicles 2, which also features his real-life longtime partner Goldie Hawn, can now be streamed on Netflix. It would be funny if, having escaped the hell of family fare movies, Russell got sucked back in, and all because he made The Thing. On the other hand, it is amusing to imagine MacReady forced into a second life as a symbol of generosity and gregariousness.Īnd then there’s this: Along with Escape from New York, also by John Carpenter, The Thing helped Russell - who first became a star as a child and then teen actor, appearing in Elvis movies and ludicrous Disney comedies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes - utterly bulldozer his squeaky clean image. Why not! They do have almost the same beard! Of course, believing this - even in a tongue-in-cheek way - does ruin one of cinema’s great open-ended endings - a rare case where running the credits before a resolution has been reached doesn’t seem like cruel and cheap and lazy. “MacReady survived the end of ‘The Thing,” Biegel writes, “because he was picked up by Santa and brought to the North Pole MacReady then killed Santa for being a b*tch, assumed Santa’s role, and his adventures are chronicled in ‘The Christmas Chronicles’ films. But, Twitter user Kevin Biegel posits, maybe we have our answer, and that answer has been supplied by The Christmas Chronicles cycle. The movie ends ambiguously, with MacReady and one of his colleagues, Keith David’s Childs, alone together, unsure if either of them is secretly possessed by the alien, if neither of them is or what. The theory involves MacReady, the grizzled badass Russell played in John Carpenter’s remake of The Thing, about a shape-shifting, super gross alien that picks off a research crew in Antarctica, one by one. MacReady then killed Santa for being a bitch, assumed Santa's role, and his adventures are chronicled in "The Christmas Chronicles" films. The family would just like to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU to all our new & existing customers, without you supporting the Stormy Story, there is no fairytale! We will aim to continue being part of the special memories in people's lives (the first date, the after-school treat,the weekend blow out, the meeting point for teenagers, the bribe, when someone’s having a bad day.MacReady survived the end of "The Thing" because he was picked up by Santa and brought to the North Pole Fear not though, the Stormy Story will not end there….a new venture is in the making…& soon to be announced □ x These packs can be ordered online & collected in the Stormy stores. In recent times, Stormy (& the world!) has had to react.and so sadly Scotch Hall Stormy is no more, but instead, in reaction to the times we live in, a 'take home' ice cream pack was created. Sounds of Disney waft from it's retro jukobox, and the building is almost 'gingerbread house like' in appearance (a chlild's dream and an adult's oasis). The following year, another Stormy was born, in the beautiful seaside town of Blackrock, Co. The counter was actually a converted VW van, sitting snuggly on the ground floor of Scotch Hall Shopping Centre. This Stormy combined the love of v intage vans with ice cream. ![]() The fond connection with Drogheda began then, and so it was chosen as Storm in a Teacup’s second location, opening in 2017. This ‘parlour’ makes beautiful handmade artisan ice cream, and for its efforts won an award, at Drogheda Maritime Festival. Following that, in 2015 the doors opened on a small production facility, based on a smallholding, amongst 9 farms, in Stamullen, Co. ![]() ![]() These vans have attended many festivals, weddings, parties etc. One of the first projects, after opening, was to restore beautiful vintage ice cream vans. Since then, each family member has taken on specific responsibility for a new aspect of the ice cream business, to help it flourish & grow (all the while keeping things passionate & personal). The concept started as a tiny ice cream hut, selling beautiful ice cream concoctions from the pier, on Skerries Harbour. Storm in a Teacup was a little family idea, that began in May 2010.
