ehehehehehgross. #monsterdon

This banter is *rancid*, eeeeuch D: #Monsterdon

Sorry kid, you cat didn't run away ...

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

That’s Doctor Ms Ashley, FA (flight attendant). #Monsterdon

You saw a huge hill of spiders & didnt think to call someone (or burn it)? #Monsterdon

I found my thrill...on Spider hill
#monsterdon

uggg, more corny lines on Dana, you leave her alone Shatner

#monsterdon

I hope they manage to squeeze in a spider dance number. #Monsterdon

that kid looks smaller than the dog #monsterdon

Her real accent coming out when it’s just her and the spider has me on board with this character. Shame about everybody else.
#monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

NO NOT A CAT #monsterdon

"I hope these things don't get into the house"

?!?

#monsterdon

That's strike two, Shat. Why not give it a rest before y'hurt yourself. #Monsterdon

swing and a miss! round 2! ya love to see it. #monsterdon

"This is about five hundred miles from where it should be."

Funny you didn't notice that last time. #monsterdon

Strike two Shatner #monsterdon

I was almost rooting for the spider falling off the desk by dragging the rag off with it.

#Monsterdon

There are plenty of reasons to only give your pets supervised outdoor time, if any. But that kind of country living, your pets are pretty disposable. You don't spay or neuter them, you let them spend most of their time outdoors. They make kittens / puppies and you give them away. And 2-5 years later, they die, and you grab a new one from a neighbor doing exactly the same thing.

I hate it.

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Legit screamed out loud laughing at "spider hill".

These aren't _Brachypelma_! They're something else. Sorry I cannot ID them, I'm not a tarantula person. They could well be _Aphonopelma_.

Incidentally, there *are* a few tarantulas that can live communally, such as _Monocentropus balfouri_, but that's Old World.

#Monsterdon

@Louisa about 5000 tarantulas, I think I saw somewhere

#Monsterdon

The Hills Have Spiders!
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

So I was a little uncertain about the whole "do tarantulas spin webs" thing but I am *absolutely certain* they aren't colony builders. #Monsterdon

This plot is startlingly coherent. Did they hire a writer, or something?p What an idea! #Monsterdon

How hard is it to build a spider hill of one's own - hypothetically? #monsterdon

Uh what? Spider hill? You didn’t think that was important? JFC Walt!

#Monsterdon

Quick jump to I'm gonna have to kill my stock. C'mon rancher dude

#Monsterdon

lady literally has multiple degrees in spiders, but two dudes have a conversation assuming she has no idea what she's talking about. checks out. #monsterdon

Wow they hired a lot of tarantulas for this movie huh

#Monsterdon

they are sitting there pretending like they don't know about spider kingdom when it's just a big dirt pile in the backyard #monsterdon

"You'll get your chance"

Chekhov's big stick?

#Monsterdon

The spider theme is disturbingly similar to some of the Manos music.

#monsterdon #KingdomeOfTheSpiders

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch Report: Still no coffee.

Also: SPIDER HILL?!

I always like to make sure my shirt matches my truck.

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Boy, inventors are not equal to doctors. Wow. The men in here are playing the field hard and fast. Is there just too few women in town or are they super-charge with chemicals to be this overconfident. #Monsterdon

"That explains the spider hill!" Dun dun dun ...

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

PUBBY NOOOOO! 😭
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

@apLundell I like these rules better though

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Spider hill?! No do not approach.

*stares at vial of blood* Yes, it would appear something very medical happened here. #Monsterdon

That spider has special powers it made the City Doctor go Full Minnesota #Monsterdon

Spider poison portable testing kit!

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

sorry about your calf. from what I can tell from the urine sample & bloodwork he was a fine animal

#monsterdon

Oh, I thought they were trying to save the dog. They were just taking blood.

#monsterdon

Dawg up and died #monsterdon

<cut to clearly breathing dog> #monsterdon

Oh no, this IS a dog death movie. #monsterdon

"...it's red Jim"

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

I am very glad that this otherwise stellar dog actor was unable to keep from breathing while playing dead.

#Monsterdon

oh that's a _Brachypelma smithi_ or _Brachypelma hamorii_ or something. A. k. a. the Mexican red-knee tarantula. Another very docile tarantula, so not a surprise to see it here.

#Monsterdon

WAIT! isn't the rancher the guy from Blackula?!?

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

oh no, poor puppers. you did your best, Jake. #monsterdon

Love to see Dr. Ashley and the tarantulas getting along splendidly 🙂

#Monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor really testing my allegiance to spider kingdom #monsterdon

Sexy scene with female scientist saying nice things to a spider and carefully taking it outside. I'm in love.

Immediately followed by maybe a lost dog, uh oh...

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie Sounds like west Ontario/east Saskatchewan to me

#monsterdon #KingdomeOfTheSpiders

This movie is SO fake. No hotel or rented cabit has EVER provided a towel that big. #monsterdon

Okay, dog death is a line too far spiders.
#Monsterdon

I like spider lady! No screaming. I'm a catch and release person, myself

#Monsterdon

@brooke Turns out the kingdom of the spiders is the drawer to that desk #monsterdon

I would definitely puppytalk to a big ol spider like that, but damn I will NEVER handle one with my bare hands.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nice towel. Also nice scientist lady being nice to the spider. Our viewing party says the spider is going to report back that she’s a nice human.

Took a shower, but didn't a) wash her hair, b) wash off her makeup and c) take off her necklaces

gratuitous

#monsterdon

Her towel is almost the same color as Sean Connery's blue terry cloth romper in Goldfinger #Monsterdon

What? No, no. #monsterdon rules are that she was supposed to scream.

Is she from Minnesota irl? That’s some kinda accent. #Monsterdon

Dang, this character loves to play the field. Kirk would approve the breadth. #Monsterdon

I remember watching this movie on cable tv, circa 1990, at my grandparents' house. I didn't watch all of it, the spiders were freaking me out

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

okay, good casting for this lady. i would have to pass up several hundred thousand dollars if they said, "put you have to be cool with spiders." #monsterdon

who was it who ran the towel poll yesterday? cause the entymologist is definitely a 'wrap up & let yourself air dry'

#monsterdon

Creepy music to punctuate the Unexpectedly Wholesome spooder moment

#Monsterdon

Alternate title, The Spider Whisperer

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

"What are you doing here" woah strong Canadian accent popping out there

#monsterdon #KingdomeOfTheSpiders

OH NOES MS ASHLEY ITS SPIDERCAM!!!

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

...yeah okay, I love this lady. #Monsterdon

I'm guessing the tarantula is being herded with puffs of air from their reactions,

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

I want a towel like that, damn, it's like twice as big as a "bath sheet" towel, just roll yourself up like a Roman senator

#Monsterdon

half expecting the threatening camera pan to go to a window with shatner grinning outside #monsterdon

#monsterdon Where the Mother Spider? I wanna see that.

#Monsterdon They've established the power of doors. And yet. Somehow, spiders still manage to evade architectural barriers.

It's Cassandra all over again. No one believes the woman doctor.
#Monsterdon
#kingdomofthespiders

pet store tatantulas aren't really scary tho unless you have a spider phobia, is the thing

#monsterdon

Spider invasion begins!
I've always liked spiders. And tarantulas.
Until one day I saw a video of a really big tarantula and I could hear the air pressure pistoning it's legs... it was a really unsettling sound. So now I don't like big spiders no more.
#Monsterdon #KingdomoftheSpiders

Spider kinda cute though

#Monsterdon

@flowerpot Oh yeah true. In the moment I interpreted that as being just because he didn't remember immediately that the women's woom was out of order, but I suppose yours makes more sense

#Monsterdon

That shower was about twelve seconds long #monsterdon

Cannot wait for these dudes to get bitten by spiders

#monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Where's my macro lens when I need it? #monsterdon

Ms. Ashley is awfully glamorous for a person who has devoted her entire career to studying bugs.

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

Sense memory… I can smell the pine in that room. #Monsterdon

@srol lol I had the same thought

#Monsterdon

I think I like the scientist / doctor lady from Them far better than this one in Kingdom of Spiders.

#Monsterdon

You're about to get the kiss of a spider, woman!

#monsterdon

Phew, her head didn't fall off. I forgot to check DoesAWomansHeadFallOffWhenSheRemovesHerNeckerchief.com before we started #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Nooooope NO SPOILERS

Dr. Ashley, are you trying to seduce the audience? #monsterdon

Damn all men in this movie are awful #monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

I am going to be *so annoyed* if she gives in to Shatner. She's great.

#Monsterdon

And the Jaws music starts.... now #Monsterdon

Oh good , a mirror-primping scene

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #KingdomOfTheSpiders

We get a change of scenery as the rancher guy has found a shirt and called Shatner for help. He has a sick cow, which I guess was the scared cow from act one. The cow is drooling ominiously, as opposed to what normal cows do, which is drool non-ominously.

We learn that Shatner is not just a cow lassoing fighter type, but also a medical scientist type, who also wears a labcoat apron thing and studies cow diseases, which are like human diseases.
