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

#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

@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

#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

“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

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

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. `

emphasis on "almost" BUT STILL

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

That may have turned me off permanently. #monsterdon

For a palate cleanser, I'm probably gonna watch Godmonster of Indian Flats.

#Monsterdon

Not done yet but I think I can sum up this movie already with a compliment sandwich:
A gay relationship was treated very well by the writing.
This movie sucks, everything else about it is trash, I have never been so turned off by boobs in my life.
The boobs were all very nice 70s boobs.
#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

@apLundell The very next line of dialogue explained it. They got into an endless feedback loop because they were all sterile because of the radiation. They would have kept going on like that indefinitely.

#Monsterdon

really they did nothing with the "all men are cheating dogs" they set up for the whole movie? or with the bee girl cult?? didn't even attempt the plot that they themselves wrote, i do think this would be more easily categorized as softcore porn than as a movie #monsterdon

'…either kung fu or karate or Dianetics.'

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

Hey, I just wanna remind you all, that we voted for this! The good thing about democracy is that you inflict it on yourself.

@Taweret bears no small portion of blame though, for permitting this to happen.

I, for one, welcome our parasitic wasp overladies.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

okay, i think that might be (a ha ha) the worst movie we've ever seen here on #monsterdon. possibly the worst movie ever. i would genuinely rather watch the Murderous Monument Movie again than this. eugh.

After this movie, I wonder how any of us GenX/Xennial folks were conceived, because sex in the 70s was apparently awkward and unappealing. But at least there were ladies making out, and some gay guys who weren't camp. Goodnight #monsterdon and don't forget to tip your host!

It's only the first month on 2025, and #monsterdon gives us a roundhouse kick with this movie.
thanks!

That was very random and made no sense??? Why did they die? Why did it all explode???? #monsterdon

Also BOOOOOOO she didn't turn into a bee girl BOOOOOOOOO

Let us never speak of this movie again.

#Monsterdon

I'm gonna consider that last scene with Also Sprach Zarthustra and bees detached from the rest of this movie, otherwise everything is officially ruined

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon *i know what's wrong! this lesbian bee coven has no fire escapes!* "enjoy your death trap, ladies!"

@SnoopJ Well, there was also Twins of Evil

#Monsterdon

And the movie ends the way it began, with bland white screwing. #Monsterdon

this has been the end of a #monsterdon thread, featuring a deeply unsatisfying (and, frankly, CW-able) movie with a plot that _could_ have been interesting, but there was just too much fuckery.

Okay, so that kinda nicely wrapped up the story and made it made sense, which is an odd thing to get at the end of a #Monsterdon movie.

The SA scene still doesn't make sense and didn't need to be in the movie.

@Bluedepth There wasn't a veil.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon that is not an earned Also Sprach Zarathustra

so it just kinda ends

anyway, ty for joining, everyone!

#monsterdon

The bee empire was destroyed by a single bullet shot by THIS GUY who has totally shot a gun before. #monsterdon

Amazon is now offering to show me Gas Pump Girls. Pretty much the same movie. #monsterdon

WRITER'S KINK #16: final girl is a prize for the protagonist

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

There better bee a little monolith in those flowers.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

What the actual fuck. The soundtrack went from Katamari to Australian Outback to... 2001 a Space Odyssey??? #Monsterdon

SHES GONNA HAVE BLACK EYES CMON

#monsterdon

Agar staring through the window through all that was Oscar® worthy!

#monsterdon

I think "bee" in the context of this film means the grade "b" in college, and the "b-girls" are metaphor for female students who have affairs with professors to get better grades, therefore this has all the markings of professor-porn

#monsterdon

I want to push this movie down the stairs. #monsterdon

Also, there's an implied gender flip with the drones, I think?

#Monsterdon

Well that's a hell of a musical cue for the end credits

#monsterdon

he's going to feel so bad when he finds out she agreed to become a bee girl so she could afford to buy a watch chain for him for christmas #monsterdon

so he shot the computer, everyone collapsed, and this is DEEPLY UNSATISFYING #monsterdon

Why can't the bee women get out of there? What's holding them in the room? I don't understand it. They look helpless.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon So basically it's a movie about the effect The Pill has on female empowerment and undermining male sexuality?

#Monsterdon 🐝 🐝 💃 💃 💃 🐝 🔬 🍯 😱

This sheriff speaks for all of us when he says "but I still don't understand what motivated them"

...are they all going to die from the lab equipment?

#Monsterdon

"But I still don't understand-"

ANYTHING

THE END #Monsterdon

Moral of the story: make sure your blinken lights diabolical bee girl making machine is well grounded and more than adequately fused.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheBeeGirls

#monsterdon This is what happens when you don't talk to IT! OKAY! We have fresh fuses!

Oh no! Not the buzz-o-tron!

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheBeeGirls #🐝

#monsterdon "...thousands of drones are produced...for impregnation" Someone tell New Jersey to watch out for their chastity.

and we're back with the jaw harp, the wah-wikki-guitar and now a MUTED TRIANGLE along with some organ for an exciting foot-chase by a Hamm's truck. Welcome to the 1970's folks.

#Monsterdon Is anybody in the movie going to survive sex?

#monsterdon Is it teratophilia or beastiality? Or both? Ah well, thank god they don't have a plug-in Hitachi Magic Wand or the entire grid will collapse inexplicably. And then... the shrieking.

#Monsterdon I’m starting to be grateful every time the bees interrupt a… what I can loosely term a “sex scene.”

Man, those bees work FAST. #Monsterdon

I don'twanna get covered in slime and locked in a closet with thousands of bees tho

#monsterdon
