um, are these people, you know, people? #monsterdon

Also shoutout to the PANE OF GLASS YOU CAN SEE THE ANTS BRACING AGAINST AS THEY FIGHT

dipshit

#Monsterdon

The cinematographer was thinking that the actions scenes would be enhanced by whipping the camera around. The cinematographer was wrong #monsterdon

"Oh my god, they're herding us like cattle!" Keeps walking in the same direction. #Monsterdon

Early bingo across the bottom row AND Larry got eaten? What is this, Christmas?

#Monsterdon

This movie has an unusual amount of hand holding. #Monsterdon

FINALLY. about time you got that guy, ants #monsterdon

YES! FUCK LARRY! #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

All the close-up ant fight scenes are so chaotic... I wish the camera was more stable so we could actually see what's going on

(budget reasons, I'm sure)

#Monsterdon

Hyper dysfunctional, popular in the 70s and questionable use of wide collar and bell bottoms. its Fleetwood mac!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow. Worst DisneyWorld ride ever!!!

Did the ants get Larry? Please? #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

DIE LARRY DIE!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

🐜 EMPIRE OF TRIVIA 🐜

Joan Collins reported that the actors had to do the canoe capsizing scene themselves, because the arrival of the stunt doubles was delayed.

She said she went along so that she would not be called a Prima Donna.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Not a fan of all the high pitched noises in this film. #monsterdon

Man can they just throw Larry to the ants and put him out of our misery? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Where are the alligators? That would mix this dynamic up a bit. Give the ants a real challenge.

Quick Dan! Set the boat on fire! #Monsterdon

An oar is an improved weapon - BINGO!

#monsterdon

So the ants have those anti-theft tags on them, judging by the sound. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

@socketwench wait, which way for the future giant ants? #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

"Go left!"

Well, actually, since this is a boat, I believe you mean "port"

#monsterdon

"Go t' hell." "Already there, Larry."

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Lol, Lego man fighting his own battles with that oar, no ants near him in that shot!

#monsterdon

"...do we really need all this rowboat footage?"
"Yeah, without it the movie's only twenty minutes long."

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@RufusJCooter

True... and why would the ant have little circles in her mind like that? Her vision is just rather blurry... and the smell of the people would be much more important to the ants... would be neat if they found a way to show that...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Don't stand up in a row-boat. Not even for dramatic takes to camera.

no one's gonna push larry overboard, huh?

#monsterdon

Larry showing up in a T-shirt that says “I didn’t watch a woman get killed by giant ants.” #Monsterdon

"We're not saying it's your fault"

I am! It's your fault, sexual assault guy! #Monsterdon

Remember this is the swamp where the audio tapes were thrown youall #monsterdon #empireoftheants

So no one going to say a thing about the killing of someone?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Where are they, anyway? Is this Florida?

It's cracking me up how some of the footage of live ants is just... ants being goofy and getting in a pile... which is what they'd do if you put them under bright lights and put a macro lens on them.

Is it important to stay and watch if someone is getting eaten? Is that polite or something?

#Monsterdon

charlie, however, tries to do the right thing and is eaten alive by giant ants while his useless wife screams to attract more ants (i guess). turns out Larry had the right idea. #monsterdon

If these were real men they'd try riding those ants bareback #monsterdon

How did that happen? How did she get a branch through the arm? #Monsterdon

@clayknight @kcarp Fortunately I find it pretty reliable that someone will post an Internet Archive link earlier in the week (when one exists)

#Monsterdon

That polyester really doesn't provide much protection does it. #Monsterdon

so it seems like you can just walk quickly past the ants?

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow TBH I think there are enough ants that you do have to outrun the ants

#Monsterdon

This sure is one hell of a twist on the old "Trolley Problem." #Monsterdon

All the ant VFX shots so far are great.

#monsterdon

wait one of the leisure suit guys is actually named larry?!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#monsterdon They're RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a building. Why are they standing in the rain?

#monsterdon "We're never going to get out of here." This is absolutely the most Florida movie ever (Can you tell who used to live there?)

I don't know if ants have a response to smoke like bees do. I also don't know if the fire is a great idea since ants like heat.

#monsterdon

I like how there were ALREADY hatchet marks in the boat. Does he do this a lot? Did he never learn how to untie a knot?
#monsterdon

Well that was a well thought out plan. Burn the boat to kill one ant. Way to go, Dan. #Monsterdon

leave the ants alone! the ants have done nothing wrong!

#monsterdon

the pier ants are pretty cute ngl #monsterdon

Whats the buoyancy rating on that Canadian tuxedo? I feel like thats 80lbs of wet denim

#monsterdon

I hope they resort to cannibalism straight away

#monsterdon

Ants are generally OK at swimming.

#monsterdon

joe just like, huh, that's curious. #monsterdon

okay, the two most obnoxious people in that tram, and they're gonna be the next to die, huh. alright. #monsterdon

my god! a foot, gross #monsterdon

"What's that noise?"
Ultrasonic ants, apparently. The movie begins telling us about pheromones, so I feel like everyone should be complaining about big smells instead. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

#monsterdon Bunch of heroes in this crowd.

Dang, I was just starting to like that guy. #Monsterdon

I like how the ants use the same sound effect as UFOs. Is this convergent evolution or mimicry?

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

the noise i just made 😂 #monsterdon

FINALLY

#monsterdon

The smartest asshole is the one who gets et first? really?

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

We have ants! #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

picnic? that’s how you get ants #monsterdon

lol, the ants are killing Super Mario there....

#monsterdon

"We may get some glimpses of the wildlife!"

And if you're lucky, you may be the first eaten by a giant ant! #Monsterdon

Definitely not a scam. #monsterdon

We will preserve nature. Now check out this sick 18 hole golf course!
#monsterdon

Why are they flying the Dutch flag everywhere?

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Uh, did that guy just imply he's not satisfying his wife because her dad is around?

This movie is heading in a direction I was not expecting.

#Monsterdon

They've traveled to the future!

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

the ants are purring #monsterdon

Oh god the ants are cicadas? RUN MARY RUN #Monsterdon

I WANT a tram like that! What great Mutant Ant Food Deluvery System! #Monsterdon

Is there going to be an Ice Cream Bunny coming soon? Is this an old theme park? #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

well i hate all these people but i do like riding in trams

#monsterdon

EMPIRE OF FLORIDA REAL ESTATE COCKTAIL PARTY INTRIGUE...ER I MEAN ANTS

#monsterdon

If the plot is that the ants zap these people with pheromones and make them useful it seems like that's a good thing. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Yeah, the 20 Minutes With Jerks portion of this film is super heavy on the Jerks. #Monsterdon

i bet the ants are doing something cool right now

#monsterdon

Had some technical issues but back on track (I think)
#monsterdon

Can't wait for Mrs. Kintner show up to slap somebody and say "I just found out, that a girl got killed here last week, and you knew it! You knew there was an ant out there! You knew it was dangerous!" #CloseTheBeach #Monsterdon

@kcarp I think we're just collectively agreeing to be horribly disappointed if he doesn't

#Monsterdon

i wonder what the ants are up to right now

#monsterdon

That fella's eyebrows are actually made of ants.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

"Now I like you even less!"

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

this is an ordinary TV. now compare it to the new Sony Trinitron!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

the ant is also just looking around, apparently. #monsterdon

Are we taking bets on if rapey mc sunglasses gets eaten by ants first? #monsterdon

boo, I hope this creep gets eaten first #monsterdon

There really should've been an episode of "Where Are They Now?" featuring the ants that starred in this movie. #Monsterdon

i see this year's fyre festival is just as swinging as last year's

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

This real estate is riveting. I can't wait for them to get eaten by ants. #monsterdon

@clayknight

Same movie, just from the Ants perspective.
#monsterdon #theantsdidnothingwrong #destroyallhumans

"what are you doing, trying to... uh..." trying to remember the script, i think. #monsterdon

lets watch them sip from the glasses for two or three minutes, gordon, why not

#monsterdon

The T-1000 is leaking out of that barrel.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

#Monsterdon Why that’s almost Shakespearean foreshadowing there with the two dorks. Almost.
