In the 70s the line between amour and assault was paper thin. #Monsterdon

Why didn't she walk over until after she kneed him in the balls? How long was she just going to watch? #monsterdon

Captain from CHiPs needs to be the first to die. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#Monsterdon And the knee! So … now to add to our blue list … black and blue balls!

Right in the oopma loompas. Good shot. Hope this guy gets killed by an ant soon. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

now, if you follow up with an upward thrust on the nose, you can drive a big chunk of cartilage straight into his brain and it's still self-defence!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Knee to the groin! Good going!

#Monsterdon

Oh DUDE she actually did knee him in the crotch! _Awesome_!

#Monsterdon

You fools! You invited Velma to your scam timeshare MLM open bar!?!

#monsterdon

Ants, eat this predatory asshole first, please #monsterdon

YESSSS KICK HIM IN THE BALLS LADY
#Monsterdon

THANK YOU! #Monsterdon

I guess he got to know her

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

@neia Most of whom are beetles.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

punch his ass, girl. bite him. #monsterdon

Oh good, a rapist. I was worried some of these people wouldn't be unlikeable enough. #Monsterdon

#TeamAnts #Ants4Life #monsterdon

They don't make them like they used to even the douchebags were douchier in the 1970s #Monsterdon

Dude is trying to pick up the that woman with his wife 10 feet away. He’ll die horribly. #Monsterdon

@blue Probably more often than they turn into real estate deals. #Monsterdon

Joe Biden likes the cheap scotch. #Monsterdon

It's what one of them came out there for...

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

It's shitty scotch yeah but it's FREE shitty scotch! #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#monsterdon "A place where people can begin to live," beats "Home of the newly wed and nearly dead" at least. Started a couple of minutes late so catching up on 1.25 speed, so far there's radioactive waste at the Cocoa Beach(?) pier, day drinking in a convertable, and time share scams. Florida, Florida never changes.

Totally digging Joan’s ensemble- especially the headscarf and hoop earrings. And not to mention the CULOTTES! #Monsterdon

in Mr Bert I Gordon's defense, this party scene is exactly as awkward as the actual party would be, so... #monsterdon

@brooke there's a moneymaking opportunity right there

#Monsterdon

So basically this is a timeshare presentation #monsterdon #empireoftheants

I will never forgive the 70s for making my mom dress me like that. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@apLundell@octodon.social They grew up without the EPA. They're used to that kind of thing.

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Wait, wut? Joan Collins' character isn't running a charitable organization?

Talk about playing against type! Surprised she didn't get an Oscar, or at least a Golden Globe for this one...

#monsterdon

@diazona They're there to buy some ant-infested land #monsterdon

"...Charlie, right?"
"No, Charlie Jackson."
"Right."
"No, I just said, Jackson"

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

OK I gotta admit I'm curious about how the people on the boat, surrounded by water, feature in a movie about ants (this is not a request to have it spoiled)

#Monsterdon

I wonder how often these real estate excursions turn into key parties #monsterdon

leisure suit larry A, leisure suit larry B, leisure suit larry C

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Alternate title: Island of the Leisure Suits. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@ranjit It's the radiation #monsterdon

It's really amazing nobody has noticed that barrel yet. It's right over there.

#monsterdon

i'm not going to be able to tell half of these characters apart #monsterdon

Oh lord, here he goes. Turning on the, uh, charm. #Monsterdon

Oh god I just realized Powder Blue Leisure Suit looks like a poor man's Jim Carrey.

#Monsterdon

@moira or possibly a lucky miss. #monsterdon

Ants sure do love silver paint. In this case, probably corn syrup and aluminum powder. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@apLundell Grow strong, little ants! Grow strong and eat these despicable 70s jerks! #Monsterdon

this guy wanted to be jim carrey but was just a decade or so too early

sad, really

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Does the Joan Collins character have a name I missed? We need to see if she's Bechdel-eligible #monsterdon

#monsterdon oh no I've set up my scammy real estate sales pitch on the beach that makes you Old

Who's letting the ants ingest colloidal silver? #monsterdon

Those poor ants, stuck in the metallic paint.

#TeamAnt
#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

"Bitch?" Y'all need a talking to by HR. She's just in her girlboss slut era. #Monsterdon

The ants are in the silver tempe
ra paint!

#Monsterdon

@trixter
They have not degraded any since the 70s. Keep looking.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

yeah, i imagine everyone on this trip signed up to try the meatba--- *is yanked off stage by a giant hook*
#monsterdon

ah, beach beers!

#monsterdon

Ugh, shame on you Burt, throwing those ants into mercury like that :/ #Monsterdon

It’s almost like EVERYONE in real estate is a con man. #Monsterdon

Aw, come on. I can't even hear the creepy music over the boat's motor, and that's the only thing providing even a hint of tension to this buildup.

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Drinking at work, I get it
#monsterdon

glad Gordon decided to show us all two straight minutes of the boat leaving

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial nah that’s just the fluoride in the water 🤪#Monsterdon

They really went overboard on the ship bunting there. #Monsterdon

So, a $0.20 tip is, like, not good, even inn '70s money, right?

#monsterdon

there's some real fashion victims in this one, huh?

#monsterdon

Pastels assembled. #monsterdon

The loud flapping flags will drive them all mad.

#Monsterdon

Oh hey! There's the Chief from Chips. This movie's got everyone! #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Can't believe they rejected my script where the ants take over the boat and become pirants

Sorry, trying to delete it!
#monsterdon

@Sorl How to express your nepotism in one convenient sentence

#Monsterdon

Are those the Costanzas?

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#Monsterdon There is a LOT of blue: cars, suits, buses…. What’s next?

The radiation has already affected the colors of these peoples clothing obviously #monsterdon

Wagon. #Monsterdon

Large scarf? Hoop earrings? Voluminous pants? Boorish behavior? Boss lady is a pirate, all right.

#Monsterdon

minor trivia: a smaller part of the great depression trigger was a collapse in florida real estate scam - "swampland" - values.

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

"Sure is a nice boat..."
No. No, it's not. It really isn't. They didn't even have enough budget for a key plot element.

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I think that taxi driver is an ant in a human skin suit.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#Monsterdon #MicroMemoir

🐜Dealing Hazardous Waste was a big deal back then, especially in movies. I was in high school when this movie came out.

🐜Some years later, I started working in the industry that developed around HW disposal. Was Joan Collins a factor? No.

Heh, that cab driver. The director's brother in law, ladies and gentlemen! :P #Monsterdon

Dudes earring is very progressive for the time #monsterdon #empireoftheants

"Sick people don't buy property"

Beg to differ, lady!

#monsterdon

Nice "boat", sure buddy. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm glad she told the captain not to make anyone seasick, because that was totally the plan.

Is that Mr and Mrs Howell? #Monsterdon

I mean I would probably fall for a boat based scam
#monsterdon

Leeeet's meet tonight's victims!! #Monsterdon

Gary 7 sporting a beard and earring. Sexxxxxy! Looks like he went to the Paper Chase guy school of B movie delivery though. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#monsterdon Well, these all seem like nice people.

she was way better in space: 1999

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Damn, would like to get the shirts with large collars that come over the jacket collar.
#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@sean A close cousin of Yacht Rock. #Monsterdon

She loves announcing in front of everybody that they fuck. It's her thing. #monsterdon

"You're so terrific in the sack"

A great thing to write in this year's Valentine's Day card

#Monsterdon

Ew, that dirty talk is painful #monsterdon

wheeeeee <emits gamma ray> eeeeeeeee

#Monsterdon

"You're so terrific in the sack th-"

ew, no, stop. Thirty yard penalty movie, back up. #Monsterdon

So, just a thought, guys - maybe we should do something about the "Danger! Radioactive Waste!" graphics on these barrels of radioactive waste that we're illegally dumping before we illegally dump them?

Jus' sayin'!

#monsterdon

"I had to stop off for extra licker." There's always room for one more on the Boat of Love.

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

in the #Monsterdon universe barrels of radioactive stuff just float around in the ocean this is OK

I welcome the arrival if our Ant Overlords!

Didn't you get run over in front of Captain Kirk? #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
