My brain immediately thought he was about to say Dr. Nick Rivierra. Man, I've been watching too much of The Simpsonsπ
#Monsterdon
"You're officially off this project as of now" Oh thank god. Can we go to bed now? #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
It's in my tent ... w/ my ex-girlfriend who ghosted me w/o an explanation ... but I'm sure that's unrelated #Monsterdon
Gojira, you moron!! #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦

OH NO 'using manhattan as ground zero'
Did Godzilla go through the Panama Canal #monsterdon
it's gojira, you moron!
i thought i was watching the release version, not mst3k
SHE SPEAKS FOR US ALL!
convenient news interruption for the govvie meeting
@davesdogmaggie he just put some of the dinosaur's blood on it, just like how every pregnancy test works
this is why you never talk to men. #godzilla1998 #monsterdon
@Taweret the classic hallmark of "movie by committee" bullshit
@apLundell yeah, it's like how iguanas in the wild get around bugs bunny-style
βVery quickly we could be looking for an enourmous populationβ #Monsterdon
Monitor lizards actually can reproduce without a mate in captivity
#Monsterdon
Oh, the French canβt pronounce the Greek last name either #Monsterdon
He's not a real doctor but he is a real worm #Monsterdon
I was typing⦠did he give the monster a pregnancy test, and if so, how?
the movie keeps undercutting itself. any time there might be tension or stakes, here comes a "funny" side character to do a bit. but the bits aren't funny enough to be comedy, so they just... deflate everything
Why do we care at all about these French guys? #Monsterdon #Godzilla98 #GINO
This relationship is fucked.
This movie gonna be cruel enough to not give us Godzuki. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Yes, Godzilla is technically a dinosaur in this adaptation, but he is also amphibious. His erect leg stance and theropod feet make his dinosaur ancestry clear. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 #Godzilla
@CactuarJoe that's kinda how the cartoon worked! :D #monsterdon
"What is this, the Virgin Lizard?"
You're laughing. A new life is quickly over-taking you & you're laughing. #Monsterdon
Given how little impact the people are having on her, why does Godzilla feel the need to hide? #Monsterdon
our wormthing #Monsterdon
Not even Godzilla's dumb enough to go wandering in Central Park at night

@socketwench Apparently the director confirmed that Old Joe was in fact okay, I can't really see how though. (Don't have a source, just something I've heard.)
(The actor sadly passed away I think a couple of years after this film. Can't recall the name but he was a very well-known character actor.)
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
also Dr. T only used one of those home pregnancy tests why did he buy them all
You should label them NOT TOP SECRET because then people wonβt want to read them or steal them.
His plan is to lure Godzilla to Central Park & let the tourists take Godzilla out. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon what an insane conversation between two people who broke up 8 years ago because one didn't want to get married
If I saw an exclusive report on an unfolding large scale disaster that ended in a nursery rhyme allusion, I would be at least a little upset.
"Yeah, lure him into Central Park, and he'll get mugged for sure!"
i don't understand why there are spies #godzilla1998 #monsterdon
This lip thing is her schtick.
um its my fucking story sweaty π π π
Giant lizard assumed to be a He because it's destructive. Also, because of Patriarchy.
Find out lizard is pregnant.
Still refer to lizard as He/Him.
Is... Is this acceptance of Trans Dudes? #monsterdon
If only these people could hear the very loud noises that Godzilla makes.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
I like that the camera operator can be bought for a beer. From, admittedly, a beautiful blonde. But still. #Monsterdon
they could have just done a "oh! a girl dragon radioactive dinosaur!" like they did in shrek and it would have been fine
Well, itβs nice that local TV is always committed to the worst puns ever #Monsterdon
this movie has issues with scale, doesn't it.
i still cannot get over the fact that i found that random mpreg godzilla gif and now it's ACTUALLY turning out to be mpreg lmfaooooo #godzilla1998 #monsterdon
Uh sarge, I think this wall is CGI #monsterdon
Yes, Matt, everybody ELSE comes to NY to fuck, why not Godzilla? #Monsterdon
Giant fatberg! Oh no, wait. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
I think the majority of Matthew Broderick's preparation for this role was "how would Cary Grant say this line"
The scale changed once again for the sewer main shot.
Does this director hate the new trend of movies having ... visibility? #Monsterdon
@akamran Yeah like trans rights and all but this is an animal that does not have a gender presentation it just has a sex so... that's a she? Or at the very least a they if this is a hermaphrodite situation?
My dudes, we don't need a flashback, these things happened about two paragraphs of plot ago
Yes definitely take the tape conspicuously labelled Top Secret that's definitely what a worm guy would write on his porn to stop people from taking it #Monsterdon
The scientist role was written for Rick moranis, wasn't it?
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Hey! Haven't you ever heard of "be kind, rewind" #monsterdon
"hey, todd, where did you leave that top secret tape?"
"oh, right out in the open where anyone can grab it."
"good, good. glad to know we're following protocol"
Saved the highlights reel video for you to discover #Monsterdon

π Watch for the elevator scene with Matthew Broderick.
The elevator music is "Danke Schoen". Remember that song Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)?
Yeah, grab it girl. This is ACTUALLY what a reporter does. #Monsterdon
Dammit Godzilla eats radiation not feeshes!
I label all my Top Secret tapes "Top Secret".
π΅ They call me Dr. Worm. Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm. π΅
during #monsterdon i can always tell which of yall's servers are well maintained and which are not. tonight it's dot social that's struggling which is so on point #godzilla1998
#Monsterdon I'm loving all the VHS tape slamming happening in this movie!
#monsterdon yes, wild animals know all about ducking bombs and then charging at the bomb source, they're so wily
Why is Matty surprised that Will The Lizard can reproduce asexually, this isn't exactly cutting edge scients in 1998
#monsterdon Ok, writers, We want a movie with baby godzillas, but we can't make godzilla female.
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
I mean, not that I wanna push any kind of gender/sex category agenda b/c Godzilla is whoever they are and we love them for it and they do not have to fit our categories
@pngwen Laying eggs is like giving birth?

Leave NOW Pamela Andersen!
βForgive me, my old flame, I have to get this to the lab to confirm all this!β
#Monsterdon The terrible romance side-plot does work nicely as a break from the terrible lizard plot at least.
If the guy you dumped and ghosted 8 years ago still has a ton of pictures up of you even in a field tent in a crisis area, you should RUN NOT WALK AWAY
He's got pictures of you, run girl #Monsterdon
Oh no she found his shrine to her I'm sure this will drive her away #Monsterdon
Godzilla is pregnant! Yeahhhh, babies!! Also the "Where's the fun in that?" About asexual reproduction is SUCH a mood. #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla
"I know these tests aren't meant to see if giant lizard kaiju are pregnant, but I'm going to use them to say that anyway"
#Monsterdon
Godzilla went to New York to nest why??? Because of the famous lack of humongous cities within thousands of miles of Japan???
Godzilla has gender dysphoria. Poor guy. Gal..
Godzilla is a single mom in the big city looking for that special someone.
#Monsterdon #Gino
nest york city #Monsterdon
Lizards donβt give birth though. #Monsterdon
It was also so nice of the pharmacy to remain open while a huge lizard rampages nearby. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
i-i need to get to the lab! mpreg godzilla!
#monsterdon the music really wants me to think Godzilla is a gentle giant who wouldn't harm a fly
nonbinary asexual icon, Godzilla #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
DUDE WHY DO YOU STILL THINK SHE'S A HE wtaf?
the zards who do this are typically all 'she's , right?
just like matthew broderick.
How do we still have 1 hour and 20 minutes left of this?
"Can you tell me: Who came up with the idea of asexual reproduction?"
They stuck a Lifetime movie in this #monsterdon
like they brought in Simpsons voice actors for the cache because it was 1998 and the simpsons was at the height of its cultural power. but they're super distracting and they didn't give them anything actually funny to say or do
He's pregnant...
I was 50/50 on if the pregnancy test thing was really part of the movie or something I misunderstood or subconsciously cooked up in the intervening years
