Are we sure AI didn’t write this script?

#Monsterdon

"this isn't real!"

in his defense, it doesn't look real.

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

I feel like there won't be a charming scene of this Yonggari dancing with a kid. #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001 #Yonggary1999

these are great lousy effects indeed. Imagine what a good director would made with this budget
#monsterdon #reptillian1999

KITTY!
#Monsterdon

Puppy! #Monsterdon

damn that went from 0 to 60 fast
#monsterdon

"I can talk to him!"

Sure why not, even the aliens speak English

#Monsterdon #Reptilian

Oh Hello Big Reptile cartoon. #Monsterdon

I have a spot on my bingo card for "bad CGI" but I'm really enjoying this CGI. I feel like I'd be cheating to mark the box.

Now those were some special reanimating effects. But I love the monster.

#monsterdon Only 36 minutes in and we finally have a monster.

Ha ha ha, oh man that's awful :D :D :D #Monsterdon

@peribotsarah Noteworthy (lack of) acting skills #Monsterdon

omigosh the CGI eye sparkle I can't even ​:floofHeart:​

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

my thoughts exactly, Holly

YONGGARY LIIIVVVEESSSS

I think we just saw where roughly all of the budget went

#Monsterdon

Thanks all, started #monsterdon I'm 30 mins late but it looks like that probably doesn't matter. 😄

I feel the same way about camping, Holly #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

Frankly the health and safety record of this work site is beginning to look iffy

#Monsterdon #Yonggary1999

#monsterdon It's growing sphincters!

they _really wanted_ to do a Raiders of the Lost Ark here.

#monsterdon

Why do I feel like we just spent most of the film's budget already?

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

I like this! 😁 #monsterdon

Welp, the special effects dudes just earned their money

#Monsterdon

hell yeah alien death ray

#Monsterdon

And there's some fire RIGHT THERE, now can Evil Dig Lead get melted? No? DAMMIT MOVIE

#Monsterdon

Look everyone - it's spaghetti
#Monsterdon

So... were the aliens waiting around all these millions of years or....

#monsterdon

the best part of this movie is the spaceship model

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

My theory is that this movie started life as an X-Files spec script and they rewrote Mulder and Scully into greasy reporter and cute bitchy chick

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon As you enjoy these special effects, remind yourself that 'The Matrix' came out this same year.

this thing really has an "evil stargate" vibe. #reptilian1999 #monsterdon

A+ blowing stuff up, good job

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

Tonight on #Monsterdon

His masterpiece is having a bunch of other people do a bunch of manual labor & then ... having someone else publish pictures of it. Great work, maestro #Monsterdon

35 minutes into the movie: Look! It's beginning!

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

"Activate the resurrection-beam dildo cannon!"

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

Mr Black is fresh off running the cut-rate Kamp Krusty franchise that nearly killed Bart and Lisa #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

pew pew pew!

#monsterdon

C'mon, where are our generic Godzilla?
#monsterdon
#reptillian1999

"It's BEAUTIFUL!"

The look on Evil Dig Lead's face is exactly the look on the face of Belloq just before the Ark of the Covenant unleashes all hell on a cave full of Nazis.

I'm a trifle bitter that this guy has not been evaporated by holy fire yet.

#monsterdon

@strangefour Any minute now someone's gonna start complaining about the architecture. #Monsterdon

oh shit, b5 is powering up

#monsterdon

When Terry Gilliam said "'t's only a model," he presciently referred to this very scene.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

Professor Skeevy should have just asked for an embargo on the photos. That's normal practice, right?

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

(mind you none of this is archaeology either. or paleontology, either, not really.)

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

H-TEAM IS ON THE SCENE #monsterdon

@cptbutton @diazona
And generally not on fossils/stone.

#monsterdon

@cargot_robbie

Originally released in 1999 as Yonggary. Re-edited & released again in 2001 as Reptilian or Reptile

#Monsterdon #Reptilian

"You're going to be making history" has been used by union busters for ages, just saying. No bones until everybody has dental and pharma

#Monsterdon #Yonggary1999

#monsterdon The first one of its kind? Who were its parents then? Slightly less-giant dinosaurs? Or very unfortunate normal-sized dinosaurs?

#monsterdon Professor Campbell is bipolar. Help me, take pictures, NO PICTURES! You're my closest ally, don't you step out of line or I'll kill you! You're my buddy, NOW DIE!

Oh, C'mon, Professor and Photo guy, kiss already.
#monsterdon

It must have been hard to deliver that whole soliloquy without losing the cigarette. THAT, my friends, is talent.

#monsterdon

@cptbutton lol yeah we both posted about that at the same time

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

This guy is a hipster of fossils. #Monsterdon

I think I just listed “why the worried look” #Monsterdon

NOW he can take pictures? Why is this different? #monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

Tarantino. "Mr. Black". I see what's going on here.

#monsterdon

"We're a lot alike" thoroughly repulsive #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

How far off into space was "Bud Black" staring to not recognize the piece's villain entering a tent to stand at his 11 o'clock?

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

The reporter is a Mega Smoker. Cigars, cigarettes, I'm waiting for him to pull out a pipe.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian2001 #Yonggary1999

Hughes doesn't actually know his name is Bud, he just calls guys he doesn't respect Bud. #Monsterdon

"It's beautiful."
"It's only a model."

#monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

@diazona that’s right. What’s the problem?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕵️‍♀️⛏️🐊🐢🦎🐍🐉🦕🦖😱
#Yonggary1999

they already knew about tarantino flicks?

ok, he's starting to explain this, it's starting to make sense. Also, weird.

#monsterdon

@diazona

I don't think carbon dating works over 200 million years...

#Yonggary1999
#Monsterdon

Were you talking to him?

#monsterdon

Thank you, chief photographer exposition.

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

#monsterdon She's got the emotional spectrum of a used sponge. Now, do we mean a ocean sponge, or a prophylactic sponge?

okay is the reporter on cigarettes or cigars?

or doesn't care as long as it can be lit?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He glared at her coffee mug like 'private' meant no beverages either.

More dead bodies than a Tarentino flick, lmao

#Monsterdon

Amazingly, the dialogue in this movie wasn't written by generative AI.

Humans made it this bad all on their own. #Monsterdon

Okay but if somebody wants to tell me why the hashtag is Yonggary1999 I'm open to that

#Monsterdon #Yonggary1999

I appreciate this recap of the first half an hour of this story #Monsterdon

this is 1999, everyone should have cell phones, so come on let's get real

#monsterdon

Now he's monologging? I hate this guy.#monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

@peribotsarah
And from a fossil, too!

#monsterdon

Yes, this is too weird.
#reptilian1999 #monsterdon

They BOTH wish he was crazy but only one of them can know for sure. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Male testosterone is the worst kind, it's true.

If I'm wrong, I just a foolish old man. But if I'm right.

You're still a foolish old man.

Maybe he's afraid Holly will forget her name unless constantly reminded. She has apocolepsy.

Oh I didn’t know you were *that* Young Gary

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

#monsterdon The Professor did not actually explain why they should stop excavating the giant dinosaur.

Okay, I'll admit this piece of paper certainly does prove you can write.

#monsterdon

"They're coming back Holly. And soon. Maybe today, maybe in another 20 million years time. Depending on the breaks on that radio carbon dating"

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

#monsterdon I'll unzip my rightness here, ziiiiip!

Proof by I Feel It.
#Monsterdon

Yup. That’s old Private Ryan.

#Monsterdon

so... if... if it's not a carbon based life form, then how does it have dna to be analized?
#reptilian1999 #monsterdon

#monsterdon everyone's so sarcastically antagonistic to everyone else ALL THE TIME I'm losing my mind

"Unknown genetic makeup" Maybe it's not genes? #Monsterdon

you wonder if Best Western comped the hotel room for the film.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Giant Monster Resurrection requires a giant monster Christ. Ahhhhh!

I get the feeling that the people who made this movie had never done it before. But they were like "Meh, how hard can it be?"
