Ugh. Just ugh. #monsterdon
anyway tx @Taweret tho wow that sure was somethin
#Monsterdon
@SnoopJ it would have been extremely easy to just put in some bee sounds over the end and have it turn out that the machine wasn't important because they are self sufficient bees now and that would have made the movie way better #monsterdon
So we get a Hitchcock-esque denouement (science person over-explains what we just saw but the explanation doesn't make much sense) AND a heteronormative "actually women *like* being bossed around" denouement. #Monsterdon
@brooke It makes about as much sense as anything else here TBH
@Taweret I know right? You have to try really REALLY hard to make a movie with Swedish levels of T and A so unsexy as this #Monsterdon
OK, kinda glad that's done, it was fully imbibed with the essence of the 70s, including the problematic bits.
Not a fave, but better to have watched it together than alone.
Next week? Yeah, probably.
@aprilfollies @Taweret Don't blame me, I voted for Piranha
The whole dang movie and I never got a bingo! #Monsterdon
the bee conversion tit ritual tho
tha bee tit-ual
#Monsterdon
@brucetheknife @moira haha pun intended?
Alright she's one of us, girls, now everybody show your tits and look around in aimless wonder! Fluff your hair a bit without actually moving it. A little smooch. We want the audience confused but jacking it. Perfect. #monsterdon
I think we have found the most squarely bottom-of-the-"Bad Movie"-dip movie of all time
@moira well they definitely scored with a terrible ending. #Monsterdon
This was no B-movie bee movie. It gets a grade of F from me.
If you told me you could put this many boobs in a movie and it would turn me OFF, I would not have believed you until tonight.
Bleugh. Yeah that was pretty bad. Greasy sex scenes, bland characters, plot that lurches forward on broken legs, inexplicable soundtrack, fetishy rape scene, just gross, gross gross. What an unpleasant film. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon "Nicholas Meyer tried to take his name off the finished product. They gave him sole writing credit, removing co-writer Sylvia Schneble's credit instead."

#Monsterdon Annnnd another #Monsterdon drones to a conclusion. As always, thanks @Taweret for organizing, shame on all of us for voting for this, and it was an honor to make fun of it with you all. π.

@TerryHancock You can't always believe the buzz
#Monsterdon Nyeaaah what did you expect? A happy ending?
#Monsterdon love the wrap-up science explanation "the radiation made them sterile so they became super horny and tried to have sex over and over"
Well. I've been stung by #Monsterdon
That was just stunning.
Another #Monsterdon has to an end and in true Monsterdon fashion the end was abrupt. As always thanks to our host for tonight @Taweret.
If you missed-out on tonight's fun you can join us next week by following the hashtag #MonsterdonAlert and voting on the next feature! Sometime tomorrow @Taweret will post a poll to pick the next movie using this hashtag.
Just vote - even if this would be your first time. Then next Sunday watch with us.
my recommendation for anyone is to just watch the scene in the middle with the bee room and the royal jelly and nothing else.
Thanks friends beeeeeeee you next time #monsterdon #invasionofthebeegirls
This would've been a fun little slice of 70s dreck except for that dreadful and unnecessary assault scene in the middle. #monsterdon
@catzilla Questions we could ask about so many #Monsterdon movies
Lights blinking! Smoke rising! Fire burning! #monsterdon
@plaidtron3000 @starkraving666
Movie certainly has aspirations well beyond its sheer silliness!
#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
Woof. I think we have a new winner for worst flick. That was excruciating. Thanks for hosting @Taweret. Maybe next week we can get back to cities getting stomped? #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheBeeGirls
Well, I can't think of much to say about the movie other than whew and whoa #Monsterdon
Computer go boom
Horny but sterile nuclear bee girl colony collapse
THE END
The most thirsty but least sexy movie I have ever seen in my life, but still fun to riff on
Thanks for hosting this #Monsterdon Mojo Overload @Taweret !
Did we ever get an explanation for running the one guy down with a car, though? #monsterdon
Alternate post-credit theme song for tonight's feature.
I first saw this in a television-cut version without any nudity. It made even less senseβ¦except for all the bee-girls' dying, even fourteen-year-old me thought that completely senseless.
βbut I did find the dying bee-girls' comforting each other touching.
So...Neil Agar is committing suicide by coitus while listening to Richard Strauss? Bold move, referencing a much better film at the end #monsterdon
Well, she was no Borg Queen.
@davesdogmaggie The *Thus Spake Zarathustra* music? It's on the end of the copy I'm watching thanks to @ryan https://miru.miyaku.media/ #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
@Taweret i wouldn't do it without the slime, but with? no problem
oh wait BEE IS STORED IN THE oh the movie is over already, dammit #monsterdon
#monsterdon note: this comment was before a woman was ray machine comverted to bee lady killer.
Okay, I'm coming closer to having an answer!
The print appears to be part of a Univac System 70, first introduced in 1973. Thing is, they basic acquired the whole thing from RCA by buying their computer division.
Really?
They're ending on Also Sprach Zarathrustra?
(Of course, my brain ALWAYS has this cut straight into C.C. Rider because that's when Elvis comes on stage WAIT WHAT I GREW UP IN THE SEVENTIES WHAT DO YOU WANT OF ME)
so the final twist was just that bees still exist. in the world. like actual bees
genius. I can't BEE-lieve how good that was.
#monsterdon thanks everyone, esp @Taweret and @ryan , I had a ball!
#monsterdon Also Sprach Bee-A-Thustra
And so ends another #Monsterdon. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting. Thanks to all the posters and lurkers. And remember #Monsterdoners: That's not science; that's fiction.
Wow, for #monsterdon standards, that was quite a bit of denouement. We had two whole separate scenes, one expository and one closing a romance loop. Iβm downright impressed.
Not impressed by the movie, mind you. But denouements are graded on a curve here.
oh no they're just fucking i guess. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE SHES THE NEW QUEEN
Wow. That was.... a movie.
@aprilfollies Yeah well I don't want answers
Oh please, someone edit 2001 onto the end of this movie. #Monsterdon
NOT THE HARDWARE!
#Monsterdon "bee me up, scotty!"
My gosh, this guy is a rude dumbass, the lady is explaining all the science.
I hope she is a Bee Girl and kill him
#monsterdon
LOL going out with "Also Sprach Zarathustra" very nice, never seen that before
I'm not feeling particularly gratis from this ars, guys. Put the lion away. #Monsterdon
He got too close to the bee machine, he's a bee boy now!
#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #Monsterdon
duuuuhh duuuuh duuuuuuhhh THE BEEEES #Monsterdon
Well, thanks as always @Taweret for hosting!
#Monsterdon So he literally smoked the bee girls, huh.
... I am informed this movie has a sequelβ¦.???
I have questions.
?????????????????????????? #monsterdon
Talk Nerdy to me :bloblewd: #Monsterdon
The death scene was good.
Kind of out of place, but I don't care. Good use of classic horror effects.
well shit
#monsterdon
Iβm fully expecting a classic #monsterdon sudden ending
Are we still looking through the window at these two?
?????????????? #monsterdon
That closing. Lmao.
It's not really a mating cycle if we don't get to see eggs, larvae, OR pupae #monsterdon
how... much did they spend on the 2001 Space Odyssey music? is that where the budget went? #monsterdon
#monsterdon She won't stop talking. If only someone would actually just sit and pay attention she'd get over thisβ¦
After what happened to me, you should definitely try to repeat the experience, but in a good way.
She looks like John Denver #monsterdon #invasionofthebeegirls
#monsterdon ooooooookay that was a monsterdon
@srol I think it can fly though
God, I can't stay mad when you end the film like THAT #monsterdon
#Monsterdon I know safety standards in cars was bad in the 70s, but were they making the computers out of explodium as well?
#Monsterdon π π π π π π π¬ π― π±
wut
LOL. 2001....
oh no they were sterile?
well maybe... maybe this one lady left got changed with a limited amount of radiation so she's NOT sterile?
Man I would hate it if some damned cop dude ran in and pulled me out of the lesbian beeification machine just as they were about to pull the lever!
at least this was playful #monsterdon
Maybe all sex scenes in the 70s were just unsexy.
#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
And now they're going to defile Also Sprach
"enough, science girl! I wanna fuck!" #monsterdon
this cop better fuckin die
#monsterdon
Oh no, they're going to ball! #Monsterdon
the bee women have actual bees? #monsterdon
