why is all the dialogue like spaghetti western levels of lip syncing, was there some reason they couldn't use on-set microphones in 1988 #monsterdon
"You ain't got the authority to declare happy birthday! Not in this town!"
I CRAP bigger than you! #Monsterdon
Whacking slugs in the kitchen sink with a frying pan is a scene that will stick with me, I think. Might need to make a GIF out of that, except that I really want to keep the halfhearted "donk, donk" sound too
Ha ha, I love how Edgyβ’ this script is. Doesn't make any damn sense but people sure do cuss every ten seconds! #Monsterdon
I hope the slugs eat every one of these people. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon "How about a sewer?"
"Well, as a breeding ground, it would be perfect."
"No, we don't have time for that now."
"Hermaphrophitc ....they can go fuck themselves"
#Monsterdon "bobby don't drink! if we do _two_ sins the slugs are _sure_ to kill us"
Is *anyone* in this movie NOT fucking tonight? #Monsterdon
She's going to be sorry she apologized for being an alcoholic when all that beer is about to come in REAL HANDY
#Monsterdon I LOVE THE SLUG MOUTH WITH THE TINY SLUG TEETH
again that was not a slug kill that was a 100% self own overreaction to getting bit by something in your glove #monsterdon
#monsterdon To be fair to these twenty-something high-schoolers "What could Romeo and Juliette have done to solve their problem" is a stupid question.
What does that even have to do with English Lit, which I assume is what that class was?
βYes, maβam, Iβm Mike Bradyβ¦
Yes, Iβm aware that name was already taken.β
#Monsterdon
I will never get over how weird it is seeing an office desk without a computer...it's like "What are you doing all day?"
if you are being evicted by some asshole flipper landlord, it's actually praxis to throw all your pizzas and trash in the basement #monsterdon
#Monsterdon "I never thought slugs would eat *my* face", said the sobbing old man who had voted for the Slugs Eating Peoples' Faces Party
The slugs are like, "That's the worst pillow talk we've ever heard, you have been marked for death, just give us like twenty minutes to get over there"
This movie sure is rich in 80s guys. #Monsterdon
slugs have exactly zero menacing energy, they are just little sticky guys. i am pre-emptively deciding that the slugs are being framed by some other more nefarious mollusc, probably a bivalve #monsterdon
Okay so we know the slugs can open a ketchup bottle underwater, that's pretty smart
Slugs (a movie)
i love that this slug movie appears to be one of the best #monsterdon experiences ever (just basing on the toots i've seen--usually everyone's like "oh this movie is terrible" but i feel like almost all of these are just appreciative!)
Someone pointed out that the experience of #monsterdon is better than any of the movies and that's even more true than usual this week.
awright y'all I'm off to snack on some lettuce and anchovies. wait-- AAAAAHHHH #monsterdon
@Lazarou On the bright side, at least the dog survived too. #monsterdon
As we learned earlier, slug are "hermaphroditic" so it only takes one to create a sequel
"Several scenes supposedly occurring in the same location were obviously shot on different sets. This is because the shots involving American actors were shot in the USA, whereas the shots involving Spanish actors were shot in Spain." #monsterdon
someone drowning in a pool of carnivorous slugs may involuntarily try to drown someone that is rescuing them, so before rescuing them make sure your upside down ankle hang is secure #monsterdon
His wife will have to get naked and crazy all by herself π’
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon bro's got some fancy moves on the pole
βIβm not even supposed to *be* here today!β #Monsterdon
Yeah this is absolutely how you get CHUDs. #Monsterdon
*the two sewer crawlers blowtorch a 2.5cm electrical wire and drop it into the slug water, generating huge blue hand-animated electric arcs*
That
is not how electricity works
not even one little bit
That is more wrong than the lithium arsenic and the murderous slugs and the plot killing off the wrong teen girl.
"Yeah Mike, I'm here."
I"m pretending to drive a car while talking! I've got a weird smirk because even *I* can tell this isn't working, but the director says keep going! #Monsterdon
editing send back a note, they say that "even if you are wearing a mask your face moves when you talk," can we get some reshoots? no? every scene in theis movie only got a single take anyway? got it i'll let them know #monsterdon
Wow, they killed the girl who DIDN'T want to fuck. #Monsterdon
Falling into a dank pit full of slugs after escaping a near sexual assault is a pretty harrowing tale....
"One more thing; I need you to kill us with arsenic. It'll end the film ten minutes early." #Monsterdon
who is this second football dad and why is he leading the group now #monsterdon
...is Slugs (1988) technically a Hallowe'en movie..? I'm not sure I want to put it into the seasonal rotation.
(This terrible teen flirting scene is slimier than the slugs.)
bop him right on the jaw and take off, lady. #monsterdon
music can't decide if we are in an A-Team "trust the heros" moment or "imminent unknown danger," continuing its streak of reading literally every scene wrong #monsterdon
That sped-up footage of normal slugs in a miniature film set was just kind of goofy and adorable. It's OK, little guys! You're fine, you'll be fine.
#monsterdon Wait until the slugs find the meth lab in the basement...
His shirt was 53 outside. It became 42 when they came in
wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle
Off-brand Isabella Rossellini
Don, smartest man in this movie, will probably die soon
no notes on the extremely dumb guys version of what rich people are like, sitting around signing documents and making deals in library rooms with fake walls #monsterdon
They finish signing and a slug bursts out of the pen. #Monsterdon
He thinks his job sucks now. Wait until there's an army of carnivorous slugs rampaging up his butthole. THEN he's gonna be hitting up LinkedIn. Or however jerks found jobs in the 80s.
#Monsterdon "I assure you it is *not* corporate policy for our representatives to explode."
#Monsterdon this town's government has _terrible_ coordination between departments
"Is this your idea of a joke? I'm Leslie Nielson, I do the jokes." #Monsterdon
HE'S GOTTA HURRY HOME! A SLUG'S MENACING HIS WIFE!
DRIVE FASTER, MAN, SLUGS CAN REACH SPEEDS OF UP TO THREE #Monsterdon
EEEEEWWW hahaha so gross
Her-maff-ro-dittic #Monsterdon
There are two types of guys in this movie, curly haired and straight haired. Donβt ask me to distinguish among them any further. I canβt.

We gottanoworms here!
#monsterdon
Worms can't roller skate, sir. They lack feet.
#monsterdon "We've decided to go full speed ahead on the project!"
The same project that a minute ago we were all talking about like it was a done deal.
Eating slug salad turns you into slugman #monsterdon
I will drink to the death of another capitalist....
I've got ten bucks on 80's Guy exploding at lunch. #Monsterdon
"Not over the phone, Brady."
The slugs might be running a wiretap.
Are we just going to skate past "chickens in the sewers"?! SEWER CHICKENS
The sign for ASHTON SANITATION DEPARTMENT just asking to be creatively vandalized with a Sharpie
Oh good, it's time for the YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME scene. This movie was built out of stereotypes. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I'm not going to post a screenshot, but you can SEE the tarp the special effect guy covered the floor with.
There are way too many people in this movie. Please die faster. #monsterdon
Everyone was constantly horny in the 80s, don't ya know. And we used the word "Bitch" ten times an hour.
βWhat does it eat?β
βCrab Rangoon, things of that nature.β
#Monsterdon
It'd be great if this was the start of a whole series of single-word-title terrible horror films about slow-moving but obviously incredibly deadly animals, like SLOTHS or STARFISH
[Aggressively Jaunty Driving Music]
Is that Zoidberg's arm?
#monsterdon I hope there aren't CHUDS down there!
Where I'm from, the sewage guy doesn't investigate crime scenes, but I'm not from Wayne County.
hope you brought a LOT of very tiny handcuffs, sheriff
#Monsterdon sir do not give alcohol to your dog
#monsterdon The Royal Philharmonic were slumming it.
You have to believe that Wayne has the breath control of a pearl diver for him to still be βkidding aroundβ. #Monsterdon
Getting ready to watch SLUGS on my tablet while doing chores, Sunday always so busy for me! π€¦π»ββοΈ
But I will be watching.

Oh! It started!
@roque They were therapy dogs for the actors who were mourning what their careers had come to. #monsterdon
"Actually, the killer slugs were caused by vaccines." - RFK Jr.
@moira Sit Ubu sit. Good slug. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988
That was a very Monsterdon film, but everyone was too horny and drunk
Don knew he was never seeing his wife again.....
See what I mean? This chemist is on the BALL. Only three hours to synthesize all that lithium arsenic, get it loaded into a coincidentally available tank truck that just HAPPENS to have a roller hose, and drive it over there.
yes! Hug and kiss the guy who reeks of the sewer
To hell with warning people
#monsterdon
this is my favourite part of the film
#monsterdon That pipe was there the whole time. They could have just... used.. the... pipe...
RIP Don
#Monsterdon looks like we're gonna be down a 1980s guy
yep, confirmed. you just have to walk through them and not fall down and stay down. they should warn the others with this new knowledge #monsterdon
@bunnyhero
In this town? I bet the pizza was roofied.
