OH NO POSITIVE ENERGY #monsterdon

"Did you kill it?"

"...no...."

(And that's why I'm leaving you Cravat Guy)

#monsterdon

"How did you ever learn how to fix these things?"

Oh I didn't, I found a radio man and ate his brain. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the island is measured in various scales. City blocks . Football fields. Crab cakes.

@trixter How about the human teeth? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon extended underwater scenes help cut down on needless script chaff. LOL.

Fortunately, there’s a perfectly understandable scientific explanation of what’s going on #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon It’s liquid. And solid. And also body-snatchers… someone page Donald Sutherland. LOL.

Wait, the crabs are made of Antimatter now?

#monsterdon

"doctor that theory doesn't explain how Jules and Carson's minds turned against us"

The eternal question of Science

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon one guy has a gun, the other underhand tosses a rock. They are sending mixed signals to the monster. Hate me, or play catch?!

#Monsterdon ventriloquism. Psychic crabs. Stereophonic voices from beyond!

#Monsterdon “Is he all right?” No, he’s half left.

Is the crab cloaked until it attacks? That’s the only thing I can think of. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the medic that did that gauze should be dismissed. He’s got a trailing… oops. Nevermind.

smoking next to high explosives? Tell me you are in the 50s without telling me you are in the 50s
#monsterdon

did he really just say "give us a hand"? #tooSoon #monsterdon

Ah, FINALLY!

Two Ensigns dead

#monsterdon

Oh my goodness the goofy second-long cut-and-fade on that crab :blobfoxlaugh:

#Monsterdon

Impressive rope climbing for the chubby blonde there. He has hidden depths

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon she’s gonna page through the journal looking for the coupon section. Maybe the white pages.

@SnoopJ If they mention coffee but don't serve it... #monsterdon

Seriously, should ensigns be mouthing off all the time like that? Those too need it soon...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon a little rumble and she’s knackered. Weak sauce, woman!

Ambivalent about the red shirt losing his head but oh "JIM IS IN THE PIT"

Class system right there.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters No Martha, don't listen to the spooky voice; it's the Psurlons trying to eat you and summoning you to their lair with psionic trickery. They are probably behind the titular crab monsters.

Navy man had a midnight yearning to dive into any old hole he could find....

Lol @the fainting as Jim fell into the pit

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love movies, especially late at night when there’s enough light outside, you know, stage lighting. You can read by it. The cameras need it. Always funny, this, here, you’re counting as… night?

@RobynGoodfellow "It was just some guy's head, can't live in fear all your life!" #monsterdon

I'm no SCUBA expert, but is it odd that these two divers have only a single take apiece? I thought it was usual to have an oxygen/nitrogen mix or something with the pressure regulated at inhalation time? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon aquarium stock footage, check. LOL. The filter is kinda crappy. Look at the chunks in the water. Sailor parts, maybe. That guys head? Still totally unconcerned, still.

Wouldn't be the Navy without an attempted underwater sexual assault...

#monsterdon

Wearing that cravat, he's making some moves on that lady....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters Oh that explains the weird location... maybe this was a populated place but everyone left because of nuclear radiation caused by nuclear bomb tests. That dispels my confusion.

I don't think these guys are actors either.....
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters I am liking this 1950s beach motel, but I'm sort of confused by this location. I get the impression it is a mostly deserted island that has to be reached by naval ship, but there's also an institute there? And there's a beach motel?

Or is this a case of "the island is actually populated, just all the islanders are off camera all the time"?

I don't think these guys are real sailors....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ooooh a biblical start! Fun!

The title of this week's #monsterdon reminds me of those terrible Men's Adventure pulp magazines from the 50s and 60s

Launching my #monsterdon thread for #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

May the carcinization begin

When watching a movie like Attack Of The Crab Monsters, I have to wonder if the writers had short term memory loss, and just forgot what they'd written before, and every few minutes changed up the canon and pseudoscience of their movie as it went along rather than build on it because holy fuck it was only an hour but it contradicted itself constantly and made so little sense that I've forgotten how to grammar and can't stop typing just frothing at the brain #monsterdon #crabrave

Anyway, in lieu of an actual denoument, I'm going to assume our two survivors were slowly picked apart by the remaining normal land crabs while waiting for rescue. The End! <3 #Monsterdon

Omg wait. Are the lab rats okay? Did Pinky and the Brain survive the destruction of the house!?
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters

These movies are kind of like sex. A lot of awkwardness, some stupidity, a little bit of horror and disappointment, and abrupt endings.

TMI?

#Monsterdon

What worthless navy radio tech left his goddamn toolbox behind at the antenna stack? You treat your tools like that your deserve to be eaten by crabs and to live life in the hellish mindscape of Crab Brain Simulator! #monsterdon #crabrave

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters Okay, there's only four minutes left in this movie, so the crab monsters take over the radio and promise to sink the island and eat everyone, before slumbering in the deep and eventually destroying the world of men.

I assume that they will succeed in this plot and humans will have to rely on the raccoons to avenge us. Maybe this movie is a prologue to a future raccoon horror story about the advanced monkey civilization that was destroyed by psychic crabs.

"Hah hah! So you have wounded me! And I must grow a new claw! Well and good! For I can do it in a day! But will you grow new lives when I have taken them from you?" Crab is reminding me of the Skeleton of Cadavra now.
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters

i am become crab, absorber of worlds #monsterdon

Naturally the telepathic antimatter crab can cause earthquakes at will too, don't you know how Radiation works?

#monsterdon

@Taweret Law of Conservation of Ectoplasm. #Monsterdon

crabs are like rattlesnakes, full of heat and ghosts

#monsterdon

Pineapple Joe is playing some Crab Jazz.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

bullets pass throught crabs

this is science

Wow, brag about growing a new claw much

Aren't you like...not supposed to get electronics wet #monsterdon #attackofthecrabmonsters

@bunnyhero
#Monsterdon —> always educational

I just feel sorry for the actors having to struggle with those waves and that gear

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The “science” in this movie, like the flesh of the Supernatural Crabs, is not entirely cohesive.

...Please tell me they're not trying to add a romantic subplot NOW. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon haha wow this fucking guy waits until they get into a heated discussion about whether to kill off an entirely until-now unknown species- to make off with the giant crab leg (presumably to cook it)

ugh, another underwater level

#monsterdon

Where are they getting electricity on this super remote island that had wiring destroyed in the previous scene?
#monsterdon

Crab is liquid made of pure energy, and also the Borg. Well it's as good a theory as any other one #monsterdon

Crabs eat brains! And they have heat rays!

#Monsterdon

i am learning a lot of science from this movie #monsterdon

"It's as good a theory as any to explain what has happened!"

No, it really isn't. It *really* isn't. #Monsterdon

....did he just explain cutting things?
#monsterdon

This giant crab is quite well spoken actually. I feel like he would not be out of place wearing a top hat.

#Monsterdon

this whole movie is literally the SNL land shark bit but with crabs

#monsterdon

Wait we're just gonna gloss over "the bones are hidden i think" BASED ON WHAT SIR #monsterdon

The hand was just an appetizer. #Monsterdon

Crabby just wanted to play cards with them. After all, crabby just got a great ... _hand_.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters Okay, so the spooky voice summoned some sailors from the other side of the island (where I must assume they were having a discreet makeout session) to rescue the botanist dude from a rockfall.

maybe the spooky psychic voice is just trying to help but no one trusts it because it sounds spooky.

... I mean... I don't trust it because it sounds spooky, but that could just be a flawed judgement on my part.

Dr. Carson...

Dr. Carcin?

HE'S IN THE POCKET OF BIG CRAB

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did you see that? That giant claw disarmed Dale. The crabs know Kung Fu!

Roger Corman's movie pitch was just a magazine cover wasn't it?
#Monsterdon #AttackoftheCrabMonsters #Crab

WOW @ Cravat Guy dramatic pose in front of guy at the microscope, thank fuck he wasn't wearing shorts and going commando!

#monsterdon

OUR FIRST GIANT CLAW

could have been more disarming, though.

#Monsterdon

Shoutout to the prop guy who built a giant crab claw out of foam, I love you <3 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters
This island seems kind of nice and is not the place I would want to test an atomic bomb in. Granted, there are no good places to test atomic bombs at, except possibly the moon.

Also, we find a normal crab and a guy wants to throw a rock at it for no reason but the professor stops him because animal cruelty is bad. A sailor guy explains that crabs will eat dead marines, which I guess makes them scary and disrespectful of the dead.

They are not dressed for this environment, those shoes....pfftt......ooo CRAB!

#monsterdon

Yeah, Jim's the pits all right. #Monsterdon

ALWAYS bring a chiffon nightie and matching peignoir on scientific missions

#Monsterdon

hey! it's an actual crab! hi buddy~ #monsterdon

"Check out my chest hair, run your hands through my mane"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters OMG cute little rats!

Unrelated, the lamps in this beach motel are weird.

"hey buddy, watch your hand there...."

#monsterdon

Actually worried about the monster and cautious? Im either team crabs or team mcclain so far
#monsterdon

Loving the 'Earthquake effect', it has real heart

#monsterdon

Why does radiation always make things big and hungry for human flesh? I'd be utterly terrified of an ocean of 1cm wide crabs that want to eat people.

🦀 #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheCrabMonsters

Nobody THAT fussed over the decapitation, monsters. #monsterdon

@Lazarou His car is going to get pooped on SO MUCH. #monsterdon

McClain?!? This is in the Die Hard universe?
#monsterdon

You’re telling me a crab fried this rice?
