You're going with *that* line read, movie? Really?

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

Did this soldier go to the Bill Shatner School of Overacting with those pauses??

#monsterdon

Think about what’s important. You have only two options:

1. Fame and fortune
2. Obscurity

Hmm. I’d choose obscurity.

#Monsterdon

Hey Holly that's your cue to go to a better movie

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

Is there a weird reverb or is it just my version?

#Monsterdon

switch to air-wave transmissions, and air fryer cooking

#monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

Ugh, Holly and her silly female prioritization of "workplace safety"

#Monsterdon

🕵️‍♀️⛏️🐊🐢🦎🐍🐉🦕🦖😱

Everything has a price, Holly. What is more important to you, extra's lives or a really important plot discovery?

I mean, considering how many people have emailed me this last two weeks, that'd be a difficult question to answer.

#Monsterdon

@bk1e that would be very scientific indeed

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

#monsterdon "What's gotten into you these days? 😡", a natural human sentence

Obscurity is way better than Fame OR Fortune #Monsterdon

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

he calls 'holly' by name way too frequently

"These men know the dangers…"

Yeah, the body count on paleontology digs is traditionally pretty high. #Monsterdon

Ugh. I'm sure you would like a private word, dude whose entire fucking demeanor screams "she was asking for it, your honor"

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

Nothing must come between Campbell & his diggy dig #Monsterdon

"We're on the verge of discovering how to create an explosion that vapourises human bodies, and then reverses, but leaving the people researching it very much obliterated!"

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

"These men understand the dangers of this business... They know their acting careers are doomed."

#monsterdon

"I will double your salaries for the rest of the dig!" A scientist with discretionary funding? My suspension of disbelief is utterly broken.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

#Monsterdon Holly’s accent changes within a sentence. Is she putting on a British accent or an American accent? Which one is “acting”?

Have Kangols made a comeback yet?

#Monsterdon

The workers are aware of how capitalism functions. #Monsterdon

"happens all the time"??? this is one careless archeologist! #Monsterdon #reptilian2001

Oh goodie, double of $3/hour.

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

I'll double your salaries for the rest of the day.

Oh, by the way, it's just about quittin' time...

#monsterdon

I want a flashback to this report graduating journalism school and at the end of the ceremony his class thrown their knockoff Kangols in the air

#Monsterdon

I doubt you are a trained crime scene investigator Professor

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

Jesus fuck. Archaeologists are a lot harder into censorship and cover-ups than I imagined.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

If you aren’t here to hurt me, why is your hand over my mouth #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

My impression of this film so far is that it might've been decent if they'd hired actors. #Monsterdon

Well, I’m sure the coroner’s office will be completely satisfied with that

#Monsterdon

DOOOOOMED.

are these Korean actors in heavy makeup #Monsterdon

See, he's giving classic authoritarian in a crowd of liberals. #Monsterdon

@josh0 nice!

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

Seriously why are there aliens?
#Reptilian2001 #Monsterdon #Yongary1999

guy in the back has a massive chin lol

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

Well, the beams crossed, we all know what that means.

#Yonggary1999 #monsterdon

Found my bingo card, only skipped the credits but not sure that saved me much time. #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

Were they just cratered from space? #Monsterdon

Mr Black is like the Larry The Cable Guy of journalamism #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

By the way, hand-drawn illustrations are still the norm in taxonomy papers for many taxa (at least, the ones that concern me) so in that regard the movie is pretty accurate

#Monsterdon

If this is how you treat your friends I'd hate to see how you treat your coworokers. Ah wait, we already saw that didn't we?

#Monsterdon

The file I was watching stopped working, I missed 4 precious minutes of exposition I assume

#Monsterdon

does thunder rumble or does lightning rumble? someone get Hank Green in here to edit these subtitles #monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew doooooomed

doooooomed

...

GO now.

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

You'd think a pro cameraman would know how to, y'know, hold a camera. #monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

Thank goodness, the aliens have arrived with the plot beam

#Monsterdon

"without vision"

Pretty sure I'm going to wish I was without vision at some point

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

A Tonka backhoe. #Monsterdon

Guy on the left is like "Yeah, roast that nerd, man."
#monsterdon

Those two died magnificent deaths.

#Monsterdon

“Heed my warning or we’re all doomed!”

Someone got paid to write that line

#Monsterdon

I'm Old Gary! Do I make you feel tingly?

#monsterdon

"What's going on?" says the alleged journalist. #Monsterdon

nobody ever listens to Budget Max von Sydow #Monsterdon

I want that giant monster skeleton for my living room

#monsterdon

Time for #monsterdon #reptilian1999

Crap. Mr. Black is our hero, isn't he? Is he going to end up with the vested assistant? #monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

"Heed my warning or we're all doomed!"

Eat more oatmeal!

#Monsterdon

Dude, I know we're doomed. We're watching *this* movie.

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

I miss the understated charms of Matthew Broderick.

According to the ancient Academic Code, if you want to get added to a project you can sneak into the control room and kidnap one of the project leads and they have to let you in

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

"Dooooooooooooooomed"

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

"Escort this old man out of here. Now."Just blatant fucking ageism . #Monsterdon

"You are correct, Holly."

A Brent Spiner line if I've ever heard one. Sadly delivered with the skill of a middle school theater department, but still.

#Monsterdon

Okay, sorry, who's the acromegalic dude

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

[all grunt]

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I like this guy in the background.

Is he trying to not laugh at all the bad acting?

Define brilliant #Monsterdon

Once “Young Gary" gets its breath…

#Monsterdon

This Dr Campbell guy is like an 80s film bully. Oh man dig the flex on his tall henchman #Monsterdon

"Once a leader in the field, reduced to THIS...."

I feel attacked....

#monsterdon

I hope these are the aliens.

#monsterdon
#Yonggary1999

Yung Gary, is this anything?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon But what about Oldgary? He's fine!

SHTOP THE DIGGING NOW

this man could do a killer Peck

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

"We're here on a mission to reanimate a Kaiju but lets take some time out to destroy a completely unrelated space shuttle and satellite #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

Most of this cast looks like they’re stand-ins for actors you might have heard of.

#Monsterdon

it looks like they hired one actor for this movie, and then grabbed whoever was too high to say no. It's what I want.

#monsterdon

Dr Hughes looks like Temu George Peppard. #Monsterdon

"You're THE doctor wendell?"

No, just A doctor wendell. #Monsterdon

@jivens into the vacuum of space you mean

"Vanished into thin air." In space.

#Monsterdon

So, this thing was 50 times the size of T-rex?

So…

It was…

Half a mile long?

#Monsterdon

She seems nice. Is this our love interest? #Monsterdon

This is probably the O'Neil with one L that has no sense of humor at all

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

O'Neill in a space related position in the military? Is this a Stargate crossover?

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

that is the only time "vanished into thin air" has been a factually accurate statement #monsterdon

So, I'm not always great with relative sizes,
and I think something 50x the size of a T. Rex would probably begin running into respiration issues—both due to distance from lunge to extremities, including distal ones like its y'know, brain,
but also, doesn't the atmosphere thin a bit at that height?

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

HOWARD HUGHES IS ON THE TEAM? #monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

I don’t understand why we have spaceship attacks in the dinosaur bone movie

#Monsterdon

A clearly un-permitted major radiation spike. Get the HOA on the phone. #Monsterdon

Tweedle underact and Tweedle overact
#monsterdon

oh no! the shuttle! that's it, kill 'em all!
