Neil Agar. He's a Petri dish.
@moira Excellent transcription
@betamaxglitch that's fine, I just kind of float above all of it xD
this movie is so buggy
score by Cake #monsterdon
"I P Daily, please call reception"
It must be The Seventies!
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon they don't make front desks like that anymore
The famous BRANDT building
The receptionist later won an academy award for her role
take a shot every time a part of the costuming or set is BRIGHT RED #monsterdon
(don't actually do this I think you will die)
@trixter OW! #Monsterdon
every time the music starts i just get to wiggling, literally all i need is the boingy, bell, and "luh luh luh luh luh luh" to live a full life #monsterdon
Another one, like the last one, this one? No a different one. Oh like that one?
la, la, la, la!
#Monsterdon The Captain of the Sheriffsβ Department is on his second body. But, uh, if the first guy died of a heart attack, how does he know this is a second body?
Grubowski is such a cop name.
this is my first #monsterdon and it is already hard to follow the movie, the comments and the bingo at the same time lol
PUNCHBUGGY
DIG THAT RECEPTIONIST DESK. #monsterdon
Had to turn off Mastodon slow mode to keep up with a movie this fast #Monsterdon
BEE BEE BEEEEEE~~~
Buzz buzz buzz buzz BEEEEE~
#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
This track sure is getting a lot of use.
#Monsterdon π π π π π π π¬ π― π±
those blinds are in terrible shape have these cops been peering through them too much?
So, Charles Bernstein is the offender in this original score
#monsterdon
#monsterdon ooooh I like his tie
I thought that woman was in her nightgown #Monsterdon
Holy Shit: Nicholas Meyer wrote thisβ½

#monsterdon Nicholas Meyer is three years away from an Academy Award nomination, FWIW
How do you get a bald spot on the SIDE of your head like that? #Monsterdon
When does Seinfeld show up? I heard he was iconic in this. #monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
Where are the BEE GIRLS ROBOWSKI!?? #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheBeeGirls
a telegram! la
di
da!
#monsterdon
They seem to be breaking up the first scenes with more credits and woohoowoowowowhoohoo music. π
#Monsterdon
#AttackOfTheBeeGirls
A dirty motel in the 70s? This is the worst possible way to start a movie.
#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls
Here's an idea: forget the weird sexy stuff and just show the bee girl choir in concert and we will happily let them invade
A... _telegram_? When was this written?
Wait his name was Lebowski??? #monsterdon
No, not Lebowski! #monsterdon
The typing and phone noises in this police office are the EXACT SAME as the ones used in the Netflix Ruth Bader Ginsberg biopic in the ACLU office scenes #Monsterdon
those are really bright red credits.
Is that a chorus of turkeys in that music? #Monsterdon
In 1973 a man's porn-stache was issued by the local government #monsterdon
Wow, this is the worst opening tune to strike our ears since I started on #monsterdon
Some of these people look a little familiar.
@amyfou more credits, more theme song! #monsterdon
#monsterdon Will we get some Bee Gees in the soundtrack as well?
Are we going to have this theme every three minutes? Because I could get into that #Monsterdon
They just found another body... la, la, la, la!
$1 says there is another round of credits.
Boy, this is the Bee's Knees.
So... what we're going to get bits of the credits every 5 minutes throughout the entire film? #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheBeeGirls
The soundtrack is like... Tiny little bees in choir robes swaying back and forth. #Monsterdon
"They just found another body." *music sting*
I think I need to make this music a ringtone #monsterdon
Indeeed it starts with a scream and a death #monsterdon
(ok honestly that was initially a cheap porn music joke, but the more it recurs the more distinctively weird it gets.)
archive.orgβs subtitles are sub-par :( #Monsterdon
Do kids these days know that TV stations used to go to static and snow when they didn't have anything to show, instead of having talking heads rehash the day's news over and over? #monsterdon
Love a good police procedural with bee girls.
Are we still in the opening credits sequence?
Acting ability is optional for being in this movie.

How are there more credits still
my computer is on something tonight because it says it's still 5:57. Starting now. #Monsterdon
Yes, the TV station, where all the city's criminal element gather to plan #Monsterdon
the eyestrain
You *sure* it wasn't the lesbians next door, dude?
"...I heard it humming, you know, hmmmmmmm"
"So, it was in the key of C?"
"Actually, it was more like B."
Oops and a little late on the start π that's quite the audio track
@Taweret and sproinging their stingers
Back in the day when TV wasn't a 24/7 death cycle.
#Monsterdon I love and want those wood filing cabinets.
#monsterdon I worked with a lot of computer equipment of that era in a server room once. The Jaw Harp sounds are 100% accurate. The terminals just do that sometimes, usually when you degauss them.
edit: Mrs. Leibowski? Wait is this a "The Dude" origin story?
#Monsterdon I have a feeling they didn't have a hair and makeup department
the music is diegetic. the bees girls are singing off camera
this guy's tie alone... #monsterdon
@flowerpot Bom chicka bow wow wocka chicka wocka chicka
#monsterdon THAT is LA smog in the 70s π·
We are already implying threats to the US government, which is wild.
#monsterdon I think the reason why MST3K stayed away from this gem was the βla la la laβ which is kind of too close to their trademark.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
#Monsterdon Where can I get the soundtrack?
Is this the first R-rated #Monsterdon?
#Monsterdon Yes, I know what humming is, sir.
@Louisa Peak #Monsterdon Mojo Music :blobrainbow:
Vintage computers! this movie has my full attention now!
#monsterdon
what is this damn boingy spring instrument in the credits and why don't all scores use it #monsterdon
Excellent quotes so far:
βJohn Doe is a legitimate name!β
βWas he fooling around?β
βWas he ever!β
#monsterdon the cop asking questions here is giving real "my check was only half the regular amount, Mr. Sanchez" energy
the coroner looks like he's about to blame the diabeetus
Welp, that was a short movie. Man has a heart attack; mystery solved before they can even finish the main titles! #Monsterdon
"he died of severe testicular congestion."
Back then, after a certain number of hours T.V. sets all forgot the words.
So, we're a minute in, and we've already got screaming and a death in a seedy motel, a funky title theme, a coroner's report, and /lotsa/ period appropriate mustaches
can't if this bodes well or ill, TBQH
