nothing is okay and everything hurts

#monsterdon #GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

the thing i love about this movie is that everybody loved the godmonster except the klansman that they killed #monsterdon

@jonny Seriously! I mean, it's not like the rest of the film was a triumph or anything, but

plot trundles along unsteadily for 80 minutes

then trips and unceremoniously disintegrates.

What? #Monsterdon

I think Trump plagiarized many of his speeches from this movie #monsterdon

god this was bad. would not watch again. jesus christ

#Monsterdon

credits? you're showing me credits? what in god's name.

Incredible. what a triumph. the last 25 minutes of that movie were the biggest catastrophe i think i've ever seen onscreen

This movie is a fine damn reason to never go to Virginia City, NV. #monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret and the rest of the #Monsterdon crew.

Here's the thing about this movie... It is NOT GOOD. but it's memorable. #monsterdon

I was really hoping for WAY more sheep monster. #monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

Another #Monsterdon is in the baaaaaaaa-g!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight we had a western? I think? There was ... a lot:
- Banjos!
- Sheep science!
- Sheep jazz!
- Bonanza Days!
- Not nearly enough Godmonster!
- Blue nights!

#GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

Rich guy really needs to think about switching to decaf. #monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

I bet this was just an after hours project some student made while working on a porn set. It would explain SO much. #Monsterdon

Truck rolls down the hill.
Explodes
Sure, why not, makes as much sense as anything else in this movie
#monsterdon

The most exciting zoning meeting ever! #Monsterdon

God monster: (little squeaky voice) "Help me! Help me!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What a 2nd Trump term would look like

This movie. #monsterdon

"Let's push our cars into the ravine so we can never leave!"

#monsterdon

What IS this? #Monsterdon

"Make them pay! MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!!"

You're not supposed to say that part out loud

#Monsterdon

i am in tears, this scene is amazing. everything is HAPPENING #monsterdon

You may be relieved to hear that the fantastic editing, continuity and sound were all the responsibility of one person. #monsterdon

I don't think that shabby godmonster is going to bring the tourists in folks, and now all the towns people have lost their mines......and they didn't go for the 'Monster Reveal' either....what a terrible presentation.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is really about the monster being the insulated, all-white town misled by an unchecked greedy white politician who has manipulated everyone

So the monster is allergic to rope?

I guess this makes more sense than M. Night Shyamalan's Signs

#monsterdon

Is this it? I mean, seriously? A financial scam? The monster taken care of by some cowboys?

There BETTER be monster sheep eggs lining the canyon or mines when the credits start

#Monsterdon

Nobody gives a good goddamn about the mining lease plot! End! Ennnnnnd! #Monsterdon

@yatsu The filmmakers probably made this daring choice when they realized they could save money by not buying a gavel. #Monsterdon

...So the KKK wins? Pretty much a shutout for White Supremacy, then? #Monsterdon

So, if I understand #monsterdon correctly, in the 1870s a terrifying monster attacked the miners. The miners burnt the beast. And a hundred years later a sheep inhaled a particle of the original beast and a miserable deformed hybrid was born?

Wouldn't it have been better to make a movie about the original 1870 monster?

#monsterdon

I hate to say this, but this movie is very, very, very bad

#monsterdon

@SarraceniaWilds "What's that black leather couch doing in the shot?" #monsterdon #godmonster

Oh dear, the monster costume is actively falling apart #monsterdon

I feel like they wanted to make a western and probably should have just made a western?

That was a pretty good sequence with the large party on horseback, but it's entirely wasted on this movie, just a brief disconnected moment between brief disconnected moments

#Monsterdon

If I were a monster, I too would pause to eat delicious watermelon.

#Monsterdon

Scoring some yum-yums? What monster could resist? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Kind of resembles a mastodon

Mr Snuffalapogus has seen some hard times.

#Monsterdon

"my god this is becoming a nightmare!"
buddy, it's been a nightmare from the first 10 minutes. :D

#Monsterdon
#GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

@CactuarJoe LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH. #monsterdon #godmonster

There is no need for panic. Also, I'm declaring martial law.

#Monsterdon

"THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR PANIC."

Videodrome will now control all aspects of human life. @_@ #Monsterdon

Is she trying to do interpretive dance at the monster?

#Monsterdon

I've been following you all the way from the WHAT #monsterdon

This godmonster inspired the Dark Crystal, clearly.

#Monsterdon

Oh you better believe I’m clipping that glory hole line #monsterdon

She's been following him all the way from the What Now? #monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

Do you get the sense this director and/or scriptwriter really wanted to tell a story about small town corruption but could only get money for a monster movie? #Monsterdon

I'm aroused.

#monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

So, besides "cross fertilization," what mutated this thing? Phosphorus? Tear gas? Racist mobs?

#monsterdon

One racist down. #Monsterdon

with only 20 minutes to go, the monster is finally in this monster movie and has a kill

at the pace this movie is going, there may be room for a second kill

#Monsterdon

Okay monster friend killed a nazi, confirmed good guy

#Monsterdon #GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

Godmonster freeeeeee!

#monsterdon

i'm gonna be honest fellas this movie sucks ass

#Monsterdon

Dr Clemens ratting out Barnstable, the coward!
Godmonster is taking notes!

#monsterdon

sure would be a shame if we had a mutant sheep that thrived on teargas #monsterdon

ope the two completely unrelated plots are about to collide by sheer chance #monsterdon

This urban warfare scene needs drones and Eurohouse music

#monsterdon

The crazy literalness of the 70s. "We're giving you exactly 10 seconds, mister! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

#monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

I am at this point assuming that the godmonster itself is the resolution of all of the *gestures* in this movie

Like, the godmonster is gonna kill the yeehaw squad and ruin the town or something?

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @Zerofactorial @brooke This movie carried only nightmares and traumatic hallucinations. #monsterdon #godmonster

@Lazarou @brooke It is definitely breaking a lot of ground. None of it good #monsterdon

No, bad movie! No lynching! Bad! #Monsterdon

Where the HELL did this getaway car come from?

#monsterdon

okay they're straight up lynching this dude

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, this is disturbing

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

well, I'm not crazy about this attempted lynching

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon why is Barnstable topless?

WHAT IS THAT TV DINNER. And jail cell singing.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Kind of a large steak

Conan ponders the plot #monsterdon

What the fuck is with these cuts? #Monsterdon

So is this plot A, B, or C? I'm losing track here. #Monsterdon

Feeling sorry for that abused creature/man in a monster suit

Where did this secret league of Cowboy Nazis come from? Phillip has been busy!

#monsterdon

I want to see my lawyer! I demand a better screenplay! #Monsterdon

Uh-huh #monsterdon

@JoeWynne It was, thankfully the match is over. I don't think my lack of close attention to the movie was a detriment to my enjoyment of it though, or understanding of it. 😆 #Monsterdon

I thought this movie was going to be all about Eddie Echeverria #monsterdon

Phil making the moves. Phil getting rejected. Phil getting psycho. Phil getting shooty.

#Monsterdon

I thought that fight we cut to was a historical reenactment. Are those guys dead?

Way more reaction to the dog.

#GodMonsterOfIndianFlats
#Monsterdon

“I’m going to shave myself with pie, why let it go to waste?” #monsterdon

that's what you got for not appreciating huey louis and the news

#Monsterdon #GodmonsterOfIndianFlats

they literally only had one microphone on set, didn't they?

#monsterdon

omg, this fight scene is like something from a Turkish thriller!

#monsterdon

"Do you like Art, Barnstaple?" said Phillip, slipping into a kimono......

#monsterdon

see, humans are sinful and enjoy things like pie and fake dog funerals so they're the real monster sheep fetus when you think about it

#monsterdon

did he just use the pie as shaving cream? #monsterdon

@blogdiva also cops framing the Black guy for a crime...this #Monsterdon is somehow unbelievably believable...or believably unbelievable I dunno

They're literally shooting the rodeo except it's not the rodeo it's bonanza day

It's like I tripped and fell into Chapel Hill TX in 1970
#monsterdon

the gluttony of the pie contest makes a deep statement about something

#monsterdon

The pie eating closeups may be worse than the sheep monster :/ #Monsterdon

I need drugs.

#monsterdon #TheGodmonsterOfIndianFlats

@rwg That plan may seem unbelievable, but it's still more believable than somebody agreeing to fund this movie. #Monsterdon

You may be asking what is going on?

Yes
#monsterdon #shoottherodeo

Okay, coming in late on this thing is beyond surreal. We just switched to the 1970's and a... monster sheep?

Also, who's in charge of wigs and beards?

#Monsterdon

It’s like the writer - haha I said writer - learned about yellow phosphorus and just couldn’t sleep until they wrote a story about it. #Monsterdon

This scientist guy is the last known possessor of Old-Timey Announcer Voice.
