"All we wanted was to enjoy what is left of our lives."
-- well now ants get to enjoy what is left of your lives.

@SRLevine That's what you get for bringing your expectations to #Monsterdon

These are boring and confusing people. They're all pretty awful. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

these two just walked a little distance telling the most telling of telling-not-showing scenes ever, and then turned around and just walked back. this movie in a nutshell. #monsterdon

Yeah, it is pretty clearly a fraud...
#monsterdon

Joan Collins just casually brushes off losing too clients to an Ant attack. Heartless capitalist....

#monsterdon

an ant version of the LOST bunker is under those PVC pipes

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

i'm late but why does he say all his lines that way? #Monsterdon

@Sorl This is how we manufacture natural beauty

#Monsterdon

if you like the birds here wait until you see the ANTS! #Monsterdon

I guess real-estate scams are a great dating opportunity for losers. #monsterdon

The amount of red/white/blue stripes in this movie is TOO DAMN HIGH #monsterdon #empireoftheants

The audio on this is so bad because "According to IMDB, the film's sound man had a fight with director towards the end of the shoot and threw all of its audio tapes into the swamp. They lost everything, so the entire film had to be looped. Because of this, their voices and actions never quite mesh." #monsterdon #empireoftheants

@apLundell Not a future scam at any rate

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Future Superfund Site #monsterdon

Now we're talking. #Monsterdon

If we're really lucky we may glimpse some of the interesting wildlife ... and the movie about ants is now having a picnic.

#Monsterdon

Still pretty sure that's not how ant eyes work.

#monsterdon

They took a tram from one picnic table to another picnic table. Are we going to get another 20min of establishment dialog now? #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@sean

They are selling those for a lot second hand these days:

#monsterdon

I said one dutch flag, how many did you order!!!
#monsterdon

yeah yeah, and it starts raining, and then they chain a goat to a fence to lure the giant ant out, we know how this goes #monsterdon

Preserving the natural beauty by building a golf course. #monsterdon

@SRLevine I heard "buttons" #monsterdon

Lady, you got a bullhorn. No need to shout.

#monsterdon

@wohali I wanna see the T. Rex chase from Jurassic Park, but with a tram and a giant ant :D #Monsterdon

God dammit Joan Collins those people are 5 feet away. You don’t need a megaphone. #Monsterdon

@apLundell we were all ant-icipating this, huh? 😅 #monsterdon

stick a "jurassic park" sign on the side of that tram already won't you?

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

“Every possible convenience”? EVERY one of them? Are you sure? #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Granted there's a lot I don't understand here but am I the only one who finds it strange to see the lady who just got assaulted flirting with another guy?

#Monsterdon

Holy shit, the non-existent subdivision has real streets! And ants.

#Monsterdon

Oh please tell me we'll have a tram chase scene

#monsterdon

@joewynne at first I read EMPIRE OF TRAUMA. Yes it is and that’s without the radioactive ants #Monsterdon

That old fella's wearing his ant-proof socks. They're sooooo tall.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

She wants to sew his button? 70s pickup lines were so innocent. #Monsterdon

boating enthusiahsts. #monsterdon

all you boating podiatr... ooooh

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

*clown music starts playing* #Monsterdon

I'm beginning to think this is an early example of product placement - for Maidenform bras #monsterdon

So, were epaulets a universal "kick me in the nards" signal back in the 70s?

#monsterdon

We put a tour in your tour so you could tour while you were touring

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

His condominium is plastic? #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Love the ant eye thing, no start killing
#monsterdon

TRAM

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Is the soundtrack trying to do a Jaws thing? With ants? #Monsterdon

$30k/year used to impress people, apparently... The good ol' days

#Monsterdon

Did that guy just say "I don't need any input" when she offered a needle and thread?

Did I mis-hear that?

#Monsterdon

🐜Ant Vision!!!

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Why did she just offer to mend his clothes? #monsterdon

At some point, somebody is going to have ants in their pants, right?

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Self-deprecation is a pretty good move. Lower expectations so they don't expect much. #Monsterdon

Plastic condominiums? The 1970s were weird.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

these "party guests" have been drinking and eating a lot. have we made sure these people aren't actually stuffed and drunk during this scene? #monsterdon

"Im a bad investment"
Most of us are, its ok.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon oh no, everyone is on this boat to drink their problems away... the ants might be doing them a favor

Is his 4 year old plastic, too? #monsterdon

@starkraving666 Those powder-blue, polyester knee length shorts are quite the statement. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Back support? How can you sue for back... oooooh.

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I am this captain. I don’t give a fuck about any of these folks stories. #Monsterdon

The boat skipper just wants out of this movie #monsterdon

"All I've got are severance pay and references."… You guys are getting severance pay?

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Maybe he needs a bigger boat?

#monsterdon

Grandpa in the background there is stealing the show with that outfit #monsterdon #empireoftheants

"Is your boss a con artist?" isn't really a fair question to ask a guy. #monsterdon

"All I've got is severence pay and references. And a record."

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Blonde girl almost got raped 30 seconds ago but she’s over it. #Monsterdon

This is supposed to be Florida? Everyone in long pants and thick jackets? #MonsterDon

@moira I like the way you think

#Monsterdon

when i met these people on the boat, i didn't like any of them very much. #monsterdon

Who's this member of the Monkees people keep insulting? #Monsterdon

@SRLevine There were guys heaving radwaste into the ocean for about eight of those minutes, then ten minutes of small talk #monsterdon

She wants to open an agency for "domestic help". Slaves. She wants to sell slaves. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

yeah, dude, it's time to leave. #monsterdon

@Louisa I gotta imagine logic kind of goes out the window once you reach the point of assaulting someone in the first place 😥

#Monsterdon

“You’re a boat pilot, you know lots about real estate, right?” #Monsterdon

@brooke she senses he has a knack for investing? I mean he has his own boat right? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Blue List - blue trash can spotted.

C'mon, mister boat driver. Find that long-buried conscience. #Monsterdon

oooh, the boat captain doesn't give a damn... this must be those pheromones the narrator was talking about... #monsterdon

Boat driver's only here for the ants

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

@SRLevine you have missed absolutely nothing! :D

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Compound eyes resolve to a single image in the brain. Not multiples. But that isn't so fun looking as the movie version. #Monsterdon

Puka shell necklace, another fashionable man ahead of his time #monsterdon #empireoftheants

Ok, I flaked and just got the #Monsterdon movie running, so I'm skipping the first 18 minutes. Let's see how this goes!

DID YOU KNOW: a "boat driver" is also called a "pilot!"

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Christ is that sound going to be a feature this whole movie? #Monsterdon

That's not how ant eyes work!
(is it?)

#monsterdon

ma'am, what are you doing pestering this poor ship's captain? #monsterdon

High pitched ants! #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Was that compound eye-vision? #monsterdon

ANT-O-VISION #Monsterdon

Ant Vision!
Ah, come on - that could have been the first kill!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret and kick him in the crotch #monsterdon

Get him, ants! Devour the sex creep! #Monsterdon

Now thumbs in his eyes. Then crush his larynx. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

This is clearly meant to be one of those movies where you root for the monster

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, the classic ant call.

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Sexual assault, scams, bad fashion, all things that make me root #teamants #monsterdon #empireoftheants

is he gonna be the first to go??? i'd be SO pleased. #monsterdon
