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.

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

technical bechdel pass in the child handoff what the fuck #monsterdon
Show threadjonny (good kind)1d ago
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

YES! YES! YES! LIVE ACTED MONSTER NO COSTUME JUST A BUG #monsterdon
Show threadjonny (good kind)1d ago
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

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

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

UGH settling in for an entire restaurant scene means there are probably like 10 whole minutes until we get to come face to face with bug, our beloved #monsterdon

you can see why she is so into this guy, he is giving her absolutely nothing #monsterdon

one can only dream of the version of this movie with a budget where they could have gone for the colorado river aqueduct to LA instead of coachella canal and had a whole LA river/canal terminator shootout with the bug

see, if you would have taped up a sign that said "don't change knob or else monster" then the knob would have become little girl proof #monsterdon

whew what a payoff to the romantic subplot, thank god we never had to see that crying blonde woman again, her yearslong lawsuit to get the navy to pay for damages after it fed her husband to a snail would have really brought down the romantic vibe #monsterdon
