ah #monsterdon, how i have waited for you all week, the oasis of peace where i can get extremely stoned and laugh at ludicrous things that should never have been created but cause no harm. a respite from laughing at ludicrous things that should never have been created but cause a great deal of harm.

@jonny I will be thinking of this every time we see the monster smash someone tonight

WWII stock footage has become almost soothing, a sure sign that i'm about to see something that makes no sense but definitely has a ton of guys enunciate like they're trying to chew the dictionary stuck between their teeth. #monsterdon

ok but how uh did we get here

#monsterdon

OK #TIMESTAMP I AM gonna need that clip of the goddamn surfacing balloon guy #monsterdon

technical bechdel pass in the child handoff what the fuck #monsterdon

while it is possible to get a technical bechdel pass according to the letter of the law, the spirit of the bechdel pass is locked tight behind the protective vault door of "all the women are secretaries or children" #monsterdon

them not being able to play the mortician pulling a sandwich out of the body hole as a joke is actually foreshadowing, and all the men are showing the early signs of "skin not moist enough" disease and can't emote with their catchers mitt faces #monsterdon

ah yes, a check test, the gold standard of tests #monsterdon

wardrobe must have fucking HATED the actor who played the scientist #monsterdon

this movie has a $200,000 budget, about 2.3 million today and they are doing a lot with it #monsterdon

YES! YES! YES! LIVE ACTED MONSTER NO COSTUME JUST A BUG #monsterdon

so is the bug's motivation just that it's like in the salton sea and needs some water to drink and it can only get it by sucking it out of people's skin #monsterdon

yeah i'm gonna need a supercut of all these drained guys stat #monsterdon

A+++++++ monster and camerawork, how is this movie managing to be actually good, it has everything going against it #monsterdon

red flags that are somehow also green flags: smiling and flirting with you while describing the death of her prior husband and the attendant trauma #monsterdon

maybe tape some note next to the knob saying "don't turn the knob or else monster" idk #monsterdon

i hope the snail closeup scene never ends #monsterdon

huh ok interesting #monsterdon

dating was so easy in 1957, just have your husband be killed horribly, and then tell that to another man whenever someone else's husband gets killed horribly #monsterdon

@jonny NB “Sea-Monkeys” marketed starting in 1957. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea-Monkeys

@jonny I can only imagine someone in the writers' room pointing out that those titles are both WAY too awesome for this film and making them put them back into the jar.

@jonny So how many of your new followers for "critique of AI coding" are going to be horrified in about 5 minutes by the inundation of nonsense?

@SRLevine no idea but if they can't handle me at my #monsterdon then they don't deserve me at my whatever

I didn't think the navy did "atomic experiments" but I could be wrong.

Ok, whose turn is it to make the "military intelligence" is an oxymoron quip?

"Would you say the water in the sea could be radioactive"

Wouldn't they know this? Like radiation monitoring is sort of standard with atomic testing, right?

Can't believe I got distracted and missed the lab stuff to critique!

Though I did spot a lattice/monkey bar set-up, which is always neat!

How on earth are those separatory funnels being supported on that lattice?!?! I don't see any rings, but maybe it's the angle?

#Monsterdon #Chemistry #ChemiVerse

Also sort of annoyed how all of these movies seem to thing a separatory funnel is for drip adding something. What they need is a dropping addition funnel, but those aren't a cool shape because they are actually meant to be easy to judge volume in and I guess separatory funnels are cooler?

It's "highly radioactive" well then I wouldn't want to be pointing at it and standing less than a meter away, but what do I know, my radiation worker certification lapsed a couple of years ago.

80 feet, 97 feet, I'm not sure how it works in something like the salton sea, but I'm pretty sure 100 feet in the ocean is where you need to start using trimix rather than normal air for SCUBA right?

Why have they built what looks like a bunch of bleach traps (at least when I build them that's what usually in them) on that lattice? What are they doing that they need 3 of them?!?!

I'm assuming they are also pouring coloured solutions through a condenser coil?
