o/~ JUST SIT RIGHT BACK AND YOU'LL HEAR A TALE
A TALE OF SOME FATEFUL PANTS
WORN TO AN ISLAND JUST OFFSHORE
FROM RADIOACTIVE ANTS O/~
OH NO, ANTS CAN'T READ #monsterdon
Okay, I see what @wohali was saying about the typography!!!
The banner flags really do all the selling. #Monsterdon
@Taweret The ants will have their work cut out for them #monsterdon
You need to be at least this terrible to board this boat ——>
#monsterdon Now, the big, important question: are they serving coffee on this boat???
a three-hour tour / a three-hour tour #monsterdon
An older couple is joining in on the Boat of Love? No reason for orgies to have a maximum age.
#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts
The CARS in this movie are on point!! You won't see this much seafoam outside a bridal shop in the 90's.
Empire of the Lesiure Suit. #Monsterdon
"yeah but we paid for that trip" i imagine you're gonna pay for this one too. #monsterdon
I was late. Here's the customary gif #monsterdon #empireoftheants
We call this wharf jazz ...
Sorry, is this a sexual harassment video?
#monsterdon
Was radioactive waste on the bingo card? I feel like that should basically always be on the bingo card
No one will be seated during the tense grocery delivery scene. Even #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
Safety first. Put a label on that toxic waste barrel so nobody opens it, then dump it in the ocean. #Monsterdon
Oof, that powder blue leisure suit just punched me right in the gut. YEP IT SURE IS THE SEVENTIES.
Yeah, stop littering on the highway. Throw it in the ocean. #monsterdon
This barrel looks so happy playing in the surf #monsterdon
Mmmmm Mercury - the sweetest of the transition metals!
"Do not open" worked for those canned zombies too, I'm sure everything will be fine
@WhiskeySailor godzillant? #monsterdon
JUST PUT THAT ANYWHERE, GUYS. #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
Getting things rolling with some good old fashioned radioactive waste! #Monsterdon
Hey man, after you're done dumping this radioactive waste into the ocean, want to go get fish and chips? #monsterdon
PAMELA SHOOP *splash noise*
Very classy movie :P #Monsterdon
"...pheremones, man! It's like totally rad .. and obligatory, man!"
So far so Attenborough #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
I love leaf-cutter ants! I have never seen them in real life but the nearest colony, as far as I know, is at Montréal's Insectarium.
starting with science narrator voice-over. yep it's a #monsterdon movie
Have you ever really looked at what the ant is all about? Have you ever really LOOKED at your ant? If not, perhaps you are inadequately stoned.
"Take a good look" no thanks, actually. #monsterdon
@YsengrinWolf
> Holy shit, the non-existent subdivision has real streets! And ants.
#monsterdon There are still areas in Southwest Florida where you can drive out of the main "Town" and find just rows and rows of empty streets. Basically anyplace that has an "Elkcam" street (The last name of the developers spelled backwards) is a good bet. And you can bet there are going to be ants... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackle_Brothers
wait so what was the actual kaiju timeline for tonight’s #monsterdon? how long had they had the town under their control?
@moira @MCDuncanLab @Virginicus @futurebird A refreshing change from Gorgo where women displayed no agency, and Gorgo's parent went un-named #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe I think what finally did them in was a film called _Meteor_ in 1979, which I've never seen.
@CactuarJoe 🤞CHOMP chomp CHOMP chomp CHOMP chomp...🎶 #Monsterdon
@diazona #monsterdon "I make 30k a year and own a sports car(from the '70s)" Is STILL a brag depending on where you are in the state.
Untagged, someone not in my timeline not in #monsterdon replied to someone else not in #monsterdon who said that he took a nap and woke up to his timeline being made up entirely of people watching some movie and a bot account posting hourly pictures of opossums xD
@mori "Film" is putting is loosely. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
@Ricardus you can blame/thank @Taweret for #Monsterdon though it may take place on the orders of Wotan the Cat, President of Mastodon, to whom Taweret is beholden
@msh @Ricardus It's our weekly exercise bent upon topping the Trending Hashtags list in the Fediverse #monsterdon
@MCDuncanLab @Zerofactorial @Virginicus @futurebird I think there was also a very brief conversation amongst _three_ women about a combination of ants and a boat.
#EmpireOfTheAnts
Bechdel Test Fail
Virgin Queen 1: Hey, check out that Drone over there.
Virgin Queen 2: They're all starting to look the same to me.
VQ1: Have you tried eColony?
@RobynGoodfellow That's the way it worked with MST3K so no surprise #monsterdon
What *is* #Monsterdon really?
That's a Question of the Ages
(superficially, it is a fedi watch party...basically Mystery Science Theatre 3000 #Kaiju Edition and we are all on the Satellite of Love)
@MCDuncanLab @Virginicus @futurebird Judging from the credits all the real estate suckers did have names too, but maybe not immediately obvious from the dialogue #monsterdon
Sometimes it's the worst movies that get the best comments and there are some great comments with tonight's movie. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Empire of the Ants.
Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"
... and you're done.
@Virginicus @futurebird I mean, I don't remember the 1970s not having those "Hi my name is..." stickers for cookouts among strangers, but they sure would have helped here #monsterdon
yes, qBittorrent, i really do want to delete all files. #monsterdon
And now you know why you should avoid going on trips for time shares #Monsterdon
I have somehow ended up in both a movie watching club and a book club since embarking on a new form of social media last year. Wild.
(I'm a ridiculous introvert and absolutely not a joiner of organized activities that aren't volunteer work)
@Virginicus @futurebird It probably passed even with human female characters, but I can't be bothered to go back and make sure #monsterdon
@Taweret I'm thinking the ones we see in the end are going to last another ten, twenty minutes tops. Thanks for hosting! #monsterdon as always!
@clayknight Sadly #Monsterdon has become the highlight of my week
@CactuarJoe But now the skipper knows that they have to go right. RIGHT! RIGHT! #monsterdon
@xoagray Just stay away from the sugar refinery, I'm sure it'll be fine
@CactuarJoe You're not wrong, but they did kill a bunch of ants, which is probably about average for a resolution as these movies go
I don't see how Joan Collins merited the "starring" designation for this movie, frankly #monsterdon
@thomnottom On the plus side, Empire Of The Spiders is completely devoid of Robert Beltran, though! #empireoftheants #Monsterdon
Thanks @Taweret for another fine #monsterdon
Thanks also to Warren Estes, for the superb ant wrangling!
And to Carvelli's Italian Deli, for the craft services
#monsterdon My only regret is that ants didn't just eat the entire state and then saw it off the mainland like that bugs bunny cartoon. Anyways, thanks, Ants. _Thants_
@diazona @SRLevine Complete with Bill Fucking Shatner, no less! #empireoftheants #Monsterdon
I am morally opposed to this cheap visual effect. You might say I am anti-ant-eye. #monsterdon
So the sheriff was Torgo in this? He minds the place when the queen isn't around? #empireoftheants #Monsterdon
@SRLevine I smell future #Monsterdon potential though
He didn't even need to hotwire that tanker truck #monsterdon
Burt I. Gordon lives down to expectations once again! Thanks to everyone for getting us through that and thanks to @Taweret for inflicting.. er.. hosting! I think I'm going to watch Vegas in Space to get this taste out of my mouth.#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
OMG I just checked the IMDB listing for this movie, and I saw that the dude who played Powder Blue Leisure Suit was ALSO IN THE STUFF.
nice work team #monsterdon and thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always
the sugar cane cooperative of florida. in case you were wondering who to blame. #monsterdon
And this time, the humans fuck off to sea! 👏🏼 Or down the river. Fun times! Goodnight, monster people.
for the local: mute #monsterdon if you don't want to see a bunch of toots that make no sense out of context, mostly blathering about ants
@swelljoe Coulda used more "knees-to-groins" for the guys wearing epaulets, tbh
Happened to watch Night of the Comet this morning. So at the very least, this movie made me realize just how good Night of the Comet is.
thanking the sugar cane cooperative of florida for what, letting us burn their overstock?
The shrill screaming can stop any time, thanks #monsterdon
@swelljoe I mean there were also the ants
Thanks for the lulz, yall ❤️ see you next week!! #monsterdon #empireoftheants
Well, that all kinda wrapped up, more or less.
Well now that the tour is over I think that real estate deal is a great idea. #monsterdon
Wow! Joan's character didn't make it. Didn't see that coming.For the record she's still around and 90 years old. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts
@Taweret me _tooooo_
I hope the ants are ok.
Thanks again everyone for a fantastic #monsterdon and to our lovely host @Taweret !
🐜
No GPS, they are 100% getting lost in there and never getting out. THE END
This long slow pull out is gonna reverse straight back into Rainbow Connection, isn't it? #Monsterdon
well i was really hoping all the humans would die but at least a lot of them did
ty for joining, everyone!!
Missed opportunity: Marilyn defeats the Ant Empress by blasting her with her megaphone #monsterdon
Longing looks all around … and roll credits! #Monsterdon
Dan. Boat driver. A very one dimensional character. #Monsterdon
I feel the same way when I try to run, Joe. My leg hinges don't work no more either. #empireoftheants #Monsterdon
#monsterdon you just let that freeloader get into the boat you stole? what happened to self reliance? #monsterdon #ANTmerica
"Joe...!"
That's me, ma'am. #Monsterdon
