Perfect ending. Everybody we hate died, and everybody we kinda tolerate got away. #Monsterdon

and there's Joe! bringing up the rear with the most deranged-looking terror-stricken run we've seen so far. best acting all movie. #monsterdon

Back to the boat, only way to travel
#Monsterdon

The ants survive!! 💪
The people must leave!!
Happy Ending!! 🥳

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@catzilla sure, for ice cream

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Man, look at that guy there just runnin' his evinrude. #Monsterdon

how did they know where to go and that there was a boat there?

#monsterdon

Boom! 💥

Pro: back in the day before CGI, they really had to blow things up and set things on fire, and you could tell.

Con: they really had to blow things up and set things on fire

#Monsterdon

The sound of crackling steel burning. Is there anything so homey? #empireoftheants #Monsterdon

lololol, he just straight picked that lady up, like, ma'am, let's go. #monsterdon

I think that ending music was worse than the ant screeches. #monsterdon
And no, tubi, you are NOT going to play Empire of the Spiders.

I don't understand why he opened the fuel truck's spigot before he drove it into the sugar warehouse. What was the point of that? #monsterdon

@msh I notice you didn't specify *human* workers

#Monsterdon

Aw man, they lit the puppet on fire. Now I feel bad. #Monsterdon

[ANT FARTING]

#monsterdon #empireoftheants

They _did_. They _did_ have the money for an explosion! But only a small and kinda disappointing one. I wanted to see that whole pyramid go up.

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

I love how random guy knows how to drive a tanker truck. And apparently does tight turns without jack-knifing it.

#Monsterdon

[ANT FART NOISES] #empireoftheants #Monsterdon

"This one's for that little boy back home...!" #Monsterdon

@fabio These are valid questions 🥴

#Monsterdon

They're gonna make the world's biggest caramel.

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Oh, extra stink for Joan, whoops. #Monsterdon

so did they have the money for an explosion or not?

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@futurebird starting to think this movie may just be anti-union propaganda.

#Monsterdon

She's the Empress because she secretes Axe Body Spray #monsterdon

Oh no! he's burning the queen's setae!

#monsterdon

Did we need the crash zoom on "FLAMMABLE"? #empireoftheants #Monsterdon

Is gasoline an ingredient in refining sugar? #Monsterdon

actually scream-laughed at the VERY NON-SUBTLE ZOOM at the "Flammable" label on the truck.

#Monsterdon

Oh, it's like Day of the Triffids where there just HAPPENED to be a gas tanker just off-screen. #Monsterdon

CAUTION
LOW IQ FILM
#monsterdon

#monsterdon They could have saved the queen. She was barely on fire. Get a fire Extinguisher!

Pheromone ant is the new hypnotoad #monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

[ANT SCREAMING]

#monsterdon #empireoftheants

Why are they running away? Aren't they supposed to protect the queen? I would expect a pile-on, snuff that fire right out. Only a few hundred ants killed. #Monsterdon

Okay, that was actually a half decent split screen effect there. #Monsterdon

yup, confirmed. Ants are screamers. #empireoftheants #Monsterdon

oops, one human pisses off the ants, now all the humans have to die. #monsterdon

The queen should never scream. It’s not dignified. #Monsterdon

no! you have much more in common with each other than you do with your bosses! worker ants and worker humans unite!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

boat captain said NOT IN *MY* AMERICA #monsterdon

just huff the Queen's Vape it's probably better for everyone TBH #Monsterdon

"Do you hear that sound there, Highness? Those are the shrieking ants!"

#Monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

"You ccaaaaaaaan't"

I think he just did chief. #Monsterdon

Wait so the car rental lady *hadn't* been zombified by ant pheromones before?

#Monsterdon

Hey, some of those ants are climbing on the blue sky #monsterdon

YES BOMB THE FACTORY

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

THERE we go! Chekhov's flare! #Monsterdon

Chekhov's flare!

#monsterdon

Maybe those pheromones are real and are how Burt got all these people to be in this movie in the first place. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

honestly joining the ant cult still seems better than working for most companies

#monsterdon

Get'em, cap'n. #Monsterdon

manos piano plus cocaine ant farts equals...

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

all cops are aphids #monsterdon

FLAMMABLE #Monsterdon

She didn't even try to hold her breath. Just breath in the ant fumes. #monsterdon

@StaceyCornelius hahaha indeed

It's Empire of the Ants (1977) in case you want to know

#Monsterdon

NO CUTS #empireoftheants #monsterdon

listen, this might be an improvement for marilyn. #monsterdon

"...we call this one Snoop Ant. He always has the most smoke."

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

@Taweret They must be all back at the development deciding on plans for their luxury colony #monsterdon

Gaseous Anomalies. #monsterdon #empireoftheants

C'mon! The puppeteer can't run fast with that giant ant head!

#monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Tell me more about this ant cult...
#Monsterdon

oh no, the ants got a hot girl #monsterdon

🐜 How are we doing on the Bechtel test?

#Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

dude, you gon't have to talk me into this. im Team Ant all the way

#monsterdon

so, the ant queen farts on them once every week? that seems a bit rude. #monsterdon

Joan Collins, mildly grossed out by an ant #monsterdon #empireoftheants

smonkin’ on that ant pheromone #monsterdon

...So. Pheromonal ant control. Stink manipulation. #Monsterdon

Isn’t she lovely, Heaven sent. #Monsterdon

Rude, no cutting! I was here first. #Monsterdon

Okay, didn't see that turn coming! Also does that mean ants are pro-cop because that's a red flag for me
#Monsterdon

how nice, the giant ant lady is steam cleaning his suit! #monsterdon

Time for their "ant blessing"

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Willy Wonka & the Ant Factory #Monsterdon

[PANTING]

[SCREAMING]

#monsterdon #empireoftheants

C'mon, it's been ten minutes sans ants #monsterdon

Okay, but imagine how fun it would be making a little miniature set for ants to crawl all over.

Also I see they could afford exactly one (1) second of ant green screen

#Monsterdon

Ooh, Dukes of Hazzard #monsterdon

@Lazarou They'd better, I don't think that had become cliché yet in the 70's

#Monsterdon

I bet it will be no fun when those ant's get a sugar high

#monsterdon
#EmpireOfTheAnts

Sugar orgy!!!! #Monsterdon

I love these special effects. 🐜

#Monsterdon

Ah, to be a giant ant rolling around in sugar… #Monsterdon

Sounds reasonable. #Monsterdon

*Zoolander voice* Is this a movie set for ANTS? #monsterdon

Again, shame on you Bert I. Gordon. #Monsterdon

horn goes off it's lunchtime for the workers #Monsterdon

he doesn't look even a little surprised to see the giant ants #monsterdon

I'd like to personally thank the giant ants for CRAWLING UP THE SKY

NO THIS ISN'T A POST CARD WHY DO YOU ASK

#Monsterdon

well, time for some more human sacrifice #monsterdon

That "Using a postcard as a miniature background" doesn't work when the ants crawl up the sky. #Monsterdon #EmpireOfTheAnts

Yabba Dabba Doooo! #Monsterdon

So, wait, Florida State Troopers are working with the giant ants to turn people into soylent green, which they then market as "sugar"?

...

Yeah, that tracks.

#monsterdon

giant ant movie said ACAB #monsterdon

I dropped in here way too late to figure out which movie the #Monsterdon folks are watching, but it doesn't matter. The commentary is hilarious all by itself.

It’s nice that they get a walking tour on the way to their cells. #Monsterdon

cop-led sugar refinery tour
