#monsterdon I love the drive over! AWESOME! Excellent! Funny how a dead main character can really liven up a production!

Ow, ow ow ow ow ow, OW

I can feel my bones

#Monsterdon

Okay that was actually a pretty good kill shot, I mean

given that it's a car

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

#monsterdon love the music in this hell yeah

Murder Funk! Cheeka-Cheeka-Wah-Wah

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #🐝

These folks will live to the end of the film. They've never had sex ever. #monsterdon

lol @ couple for whom the love has died

#monsterdon

#monsterdon She applies moisturizer in a remarkably heavy hand. A little goes a long way! Now you look greasy... and slick.

This movie is an exquisite collection of types of community theater guy

#Monsterdon

Eight guys are dead from ballin'

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I love the scream of “Louder!" hahahahaah no, we don’t need any editing or any of that shit, we're good!

Should I start wearing sunglasses indoors? #monsterdon #invasionofthebeegirls

You see, when a man loves a woman very much ...
#monsterdon

PECKHAM!?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

State Dept Man's male spread taking up the whole table

#monsterdon

if the bee sound is diegetic then really it's just an evolutionary correction because everyone knows you don't fuck anyone or anything that is a big hollow bag of bees #monsterdon

#monsterdon The body count in this movie is rolling up awfully quickly, eh? We're up to what, five or six already? Eight?

AND ZERO BEES, come _on_

okay that was a funny cut away to his corpse

I loled

#monsterdon

I suspect that they filmed in an actual school lab, though

#Monsterdon

The waiter later went on to be given an academy award for his role

#monsterdon

"Hi, I'm the woman who fucked your husband to death. We should meet up!"

#monsterdon

"coming and going at the same time" was the working title #monsterdon

I wonder how much of this movie is going to be the world's slowest investigation proceeding as punctuation between balling scenes

Probably most of it?

#Monsterdon

LOL - was she sitting the hand?

#monsterdon

Lighting obscuring the woman's face in favor of... >_> #Monsterdon

#monsterdon You're HORNY! You get bees! bees! EVERYONE GETS BEES! It helps with the small endowments and rigor mortis.

#monsterdon good thing he told her to get undressed. She probably wanted to just sit and read the bible.

we don't know he died from bee girl and not just regular bees and some people are being awfully quick to condemn bee girls before we get the full story #monsterdon

#monsterdon They are flattening the grass! What a mess! She didn't even TAKE OFF HER BOOTS. Her name is Kinky Boots. LOL.

Yelling "Ass you wiiiiiish," as they roll naked down the hill

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

We have definitively established that his name is Neil Agar. You can stop introducing yourself now, sir. #monsterdon

Neil Agar to see Patricia Petri

#monsterdon

"Punch buggy blue!"
"Punch buggy green!"
"Ow!"

#genX #monsterdon

Did Parliament Funkadelic do this soundtrack?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #🐝

I do like the modernist lines of the Brandt building, it also reminds me of a much better thing...Severence

#monsterdon

is that Freddy Muñiz?

#BeeGirls #monsterdon

Take a drink every time you see a mustache #monsterdon #invasionofthebeegirls

The conversation on the phone is crossing-over with the in-person one

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon This music is very 70s, but not even The Bee Gees. I’m VERY disappointed. ☹️

@amyfou We've had enough abrupt endings, why not an abrupt beginning

#Monsterdon

GOGOGOGOGOGO

#monsterdon #BeeGirls

A dead naked GWB? Yeah, I'd be scared too.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #invasionofthebeegirls

#Monsterdon

@moira @SnoopJ Yeah that's true. The mirror thing caught my eye not because it was a surprise so much as because it was thoughtfully done.

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth @TerryHancock May be a good thing to let an AI do so no human needs to be tasked with that chore #monsterdon

@catzilla @Taweret Maybe Gojira and other classic kaiju movies were kind of like that? I mean, I don't know if I'd say that Godzilla actually *won*, but he came in, messed up some infrastructure, and then balled back off into the sea without being damaged or much disturbed by the humans

#Monsterdon

@harmonygritz I don't think anyone out of town died, so yeah - I think the one Black dude lived. Good on 'im!

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

@Bluedepth

But... I'm not watching it again in order to count. Sorry.

It was that bad.

#Monsterdon

Fabulous blog post on #invasionofthebeegirls https://5e8bf1d0c0782.site123.me/that-bad-thing-you-saw-these-are-worse/invasion-of-the-bee-girls-1973
#monsterdon

@Bluedepth

No. None!
Clearly, we are failing the "Joe Bob's Drive-in Theater" legacy here!

#Monsterdon

Just a petition for a future #monsterdon where the monster wins and humans lose cc @Taweret

@hollie Your stream of puns makes it, if not worthwhile, at least certainly more tolerable!

#Monsterdon

Yup, that was Nicholas Meyer's first screenplay.

Now, go watch the even-numbered Star Trek films, Time After Time, and The Seven Percent Solution.

#Monsterdon

@jackyan @jchaven Also, LSD.

#Monsterdon

@diazona @wrog @moira My interaction with them wasn't so much with making calls but checking the coin return slot to see if anyone left some change behind #monsterdon

@flowerpot
If a boob gets bitten, I'm out

#Monsterdon

@Sorl It’s perfect. No notes. #Monsterdon

@lytta Oh yeah, not very cougar like in the strict sense. But also not very bee like #monsterdon

wait we end on 2001 space odyssey music and a man not listening to a woman talk because he wants to fuck her? #monsterdon

@SnoopJ (Belatedly) Apparently it was a BB gun.
#Monsterdon

@r343l but the object in the vision was always some ugly-ass guy. You’d think the director would have come up with some excuse to use that effect to get 200 boobs on the screen at the same time. #monsterdon

@ohiofi I almost want to look that up and watch it to see if they somehow managed to make it as bad or worse than the original

#Monsterdon

@rallias @wrog @RufusJCooter @jonny There is, of course, the other possibility: that they were protected against being sued for using the song in the movie because nobody would have been willing to admit they watched it

#Monsterdon

@rallias @wrog (also @RufusJCooter @jonny if you're curious) With reference to Wikipedia, it looks like the Berne Convention was ratified by Germany in 1887, and assuming it was implemented in law shortly thereafter, it would have been in force at the time Also sprach Zarathustra was published in 1896, so the copyright term there should have been until at least 50 years after the author's death. But that's in Germany. The US didn't become a party to the convention until 1988. In 1973 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law_of_the_United_States#Pre-1978_dual_state_and_federal_copyright_law), it looks like works needed to be registered to be protected by federal copyright (and Strauss almost certainly wouldn't have registered his composition in the US); it might have been protected under state copyright, but I don't know the details. Anyway, it seems quite plausible that the composition would have been out of copyright in the US when the movie was made, and if so I'm sure they could have found an uncopyrighted recording of it.

#Monsterdon #copyright

@RobynGoodfellow Putting that on a bumper sticker. #Monsterdon

FWIW I voted for the fish. #Monsterdon #AttackOfTheBeeGirls

@msh @Taweret The writers got distracted with all the boobs out on display.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon that is some amazing dress choice for a burial service.

@Taweret I still can't even get past how they made a movie so focused on sex so unsexy it makes 50 Shades of Grey look like a rainbow #Monsterdon

Beyond that it seems vaguely about genetic experimentation plus radiation like the fly but with ladies and bees or something? Like *the writers* even gave up and switched the scene halfway through the technobabble and her Near Bee Experience at the end to muffle it because they were all like "I dunno I got nuthin'" #Monsterdon

"Am I still not pretty?"
"Yes."
"Alright fuck this shit, I'm just leaving." is what she should have said. #monsterdon

@lytta @Zerofactorial ....by at least 10 years #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial actually i believe all of the women were younger than the men they were having sex with-

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon aight, I can come out from under the covers and relax my jaw from cringing so much. I look forward to never watching this again

@forestine This movie was so bad I can't even make a "That's what she said" joke :/ #Monsterdon

“Bee Come Beautiful Sunglasses by Foster Grant” got a callout in the ending credits. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

at least it was short #Monsterdon

...aaaaaand this movie has ruined the "Dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians" fantasy for me for at least a week. I did enjoy all the butts, though.
#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting our feature! Definitely stung.

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! The Bee Stamp!! I just played with that during the boring parts with no boobs.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Everyone had a different interpretation of what the goo treatment was, but we achieved Hive Mind on the quality of the film.

🚨 Reminder: There is Monsterdon Gear here!:
https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/monsterdon-doodles-color/womens/pullover-hoody/classic-fleece?variation=front&color=sky_blue

Pillows, hoodies, more

Well I hive to say that was the beest insect movie I ever watched, the assault in the middle was kind of a buzzkill but we flew through it, good work everyone

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

@catzilla

It kind of looked like the machine was maintaining their Bee-ness, and when it went, so did they..?

I'm overthinking this, I think...

#Monsterdon

bee seeing you?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

@springdiesel hahahahahahahahahahahahaha 😂

You're not wrong though

#Monsterdon

In her time of complete emotionless reception to her husband's death. #monsterdon

@Taweret

They were .... bliens.

Okay, I'll see myself out.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #🐝

@catzilla The "State Department of Security" agent shot the machine. That let all the smoke out of the machine (it also started some sort of electrical fire which exploded more of the machine, but it was Smoke that killed the Bees). #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #Monsterdon

@wrog It was written in 1896, so yeah, it might have been public domain. I can't imagine that they would have had any reason to license it from the producers of 2001: ASO - I mean, regardless of how popular the latter got, they don't own the rights to that song.

#Monsterdon

Wait until at least 11 AM to deliver bad news. #monsterdon

@brucetheknife It's the Garbage Pail Kids of sexploitation movies. #Monsterdon

That was certainly a movie. Wasn't expecting back alley sexual assault, but I guess I should have known better in the movie where all the men in town fuck themselves to death. Much love to the playground geodesic dome / orgasm + light show + bee girl transformation machine.

#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #monsterdon

@ordinoides noooo

Me neither unfortunately. I think this is what happens when you use a monster movie bingo card for a porno.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@CactuarJoe yeah kind of “so bad it’s grotesque” vibe. #Monsterdon

She totally a bee girl and going to kill him, right?

Well that was WILD, thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone who joined tonight’s #monsterdon - bee safe out there!

@apLundell It was basically an experiment at the lab that went wrong. I don't think it was intentional, but once done, they kept marking other women as the queen, and each one, in turn, failed, so they kept doing it.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon welp, that was an ending all right

good night folks! hope you enjoyed the bee girls, and/or their surprising amount of unnecessary nudity

#Monsterdon Grading “The Bee Girls” is dead easy this time. Everybody gets a B+.

This isn't me being salty about the movie. This is exactly the type of movie I love having on #monsterdon. Just that one scene can fuck off forever. `
