"Feed Me" is of course also very memorable. Mostly for the actual performance IMO, the lyrics slip out of my mind easily, but not because they aren't great

I have so
so many strong
reservations

"Nice plant. Big."
Oh wow, mixed animation and live action, I'm surprised this pre-dates Who Framed Roger Rabbit (by 2 years) because that's the best example of the format.
(if we ever do that for monsterdon I'm 100% on time for once and will gush about it, but I'm not sure Judge Doom counts enough as a monster and it would be one of the rare "good" movies)
Ahhh, John Candyβ¦
The pacing of the musical is so good. Enough dialogue to get you between songs and keep things moving, and then all the rest of the interiority is the songs.
I was counting on this #Monsterdon to rescue an otherwise disappointing weekend (more so than usual) and it definitely delivered! Especially with the #WrongFrogs musical version
@SRLevine Indeed, but I'm willing to believe a carnivorous plant that can also sing show tunes might work a little differently
β« Suddenly Seymour (sad mix)
Uh Seymour, with the way carnivorous plants work rescuing her isn't going to give you her back...she should be missing some skin and things.
"Give me your secret gardening tips"
Dude, you have No Idea what you're asking for.
Every time Audrey leans over I'm waiting for her to fall out of her dress. I guess double stick tape really is a miracle. Either that or the blooper reel from this film is very explicit...
:blobfoxpleading:
@SRLevine I just think of it like us eating chicken wings
The musical version is doing *such* a better job of developing the dentist as a villain (and character development in general)
It feels so weird
This is so over the top. Corny? Campy? I don't even known what word describes this song with a tract house and a lawn mower...
Such cool puppets, too.
Thank you @ryan ! What an experience
Given that Audrey II seemed to need to eat at least a few solid body parts to grow to full size, you'd think someone would have noticed before they took over, but nooooo
waiting for an Audrey pair to fall into Statler and Waldorf giggles
the only thing that would make this better is a Jack Nicholson cameo about here
Godzilla: Plant Edition
Wait, after being partially engulfed she wants to be part of the plant? Was there some brainwashing involved?
Is Audrey II romancing Audrey? This movie got way queerer than I expected! Yay!
well this took a very different turn from the original

I swear on my spores

Blood doesn't dry red...
Is Bill Murray really that tall? Or is that doorway weirdly short? Or is Steve Martin not as tall as I thought?
"I'm gonna get a candy bar."
Billy Murray's mouth is way too weirdly flexible. It's creeping me out.
oh good i was afraid they'd gotten rid of the Jack Nicholson masochist. Bill Murray didn't have a PAIN magazine though #wrongFrogs #Monsterdon
Thoroughly creeped out by the people in the waiting room for the radio station interview.
I'm thinking of all the people who swear that talking or singing to their plants helps them grow
Definitely true in this case
OK I may not be able to resist this musical from @miru
I guess I'm watching (or maybe just listening to) the musical since I missed most of the "plot" in the original thanks to cooking disasters.
@ramsey @diazona yeah i felt kind of bereft after Audrey was eaten for the whole rest of the movie. though the running amok was fantastic #Monsterdon #wrongFrogs
@ramsey @diazona yeah this ending got cut #Monsterdon #wrongFrogs
@forestine excuse me I think that'd be #WrongWrongFrogs π
so now i need to watch it again for the theatrical ending where they don't get eaten right?
maybe another day #Monsterdon #wrongFrogs
and end credits with an amazing soundtrack too!
I still can't quite reconcile the presence of a proper end credits sequence with the epically perfect #Monsterdon -y goodness we just witnessed
@LuluHelle I'm tempted to join you in that
JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS playing at the destroyed movie theatre :blobfoxlaugh:
πΆ Look Out, Here Comes Audrey II πΆ
At no point in this entire thing has it ever been clear whether Audrey II has a throat
Now *that's* a performance that brings down the house
I would watch like six hours of just Audrey II and the Buds doing show tunes and Motown covers
did this movie singlehandedly push the phrase "tough titty" into public consciousness
I like that they have kept the cadence of upgrading the puppet with every feeding
"A goddamn vegetable's public domain!"
[gentle puppeteering]
I like the small touches in here though
the dead Audrey II foliage helps *make* it
there's foreshadowing and then there's "when I die, which is going to be very soon"
Nothing like being partially digested by a plant to facilitate a budding romance π
lollllll the plant knows how to use a rotary phone
Does this count as getting 60's married or 80's married
yesssss the chorus is backing up Audrey II
I wonder if Audrey II actually ships Seymour and Audrey or just sees it as a path to getting food
#monsterdon Steve Martin is such a master of slapstick he doesn't even have to be in the scene to make it work: #WrongShop #WrongFrogs
"Orin Scrivello" lol
Sadly I can't hear "Orin" without thinking of the NVIDIA Orin chip
Chopping up a dead body is in fact 50% easier if you set up a spotlight to project your shadow on a highly visible wall
@plaidtron3000 Wow, that's pretty tall for an actor. I didn't realize that!
One of my favorite things ever is listening to @starkraving666 singing along to Somewhere Thatβs Green. And Suddenly Seymour.
And Elbowβs Mirrorball, but thatβs a separate story. #monsterdon #wrongfrogs
it's good but it's no Roger Corman. where is the haste? where is the cheapness?
