Kiddo won’t watch #monsterdon with me most Sundays and today was no exception. He popped out of his room during the science lesson on mollusk. I started laughing and could not stop. He tried to ask what I was watching and I could not tell him due to fits of giggles. He then wanted to know what was so funny. To him, it looked like I was watching a 1950s mollusk documentary.

Actually, one more thought. A lot of what reduced the threat of the monsters is that this is a 50s movie. The authorities are helpful to random civilians and cooperate with each-other.

A 70s version of this movie where people hate one another and institutions are dysfunctional would give the monsters actual room.

@CardboardRobot Yep, guns totally effective! Very odd for this kind of movie but there y'go

@msh @Taweret California _really_ has to pass Proposition 14A this time.

I won't call that a great movie, but honestly it wasn't *that* bad. "The monster that was a moderate annoyance that required some degree of cooperation to defeat" doesn't have the some ring, though.

okay kids, this has been fun, I'm off to a thoroughly bug-free bed with zero soapy secretions! I wish for you, the same. <3

Thanks @twaeret and everyone who makes this happen each Sunday. I can't say I liked this movie, but the chatter makes it fun regardless.
