"They were nice people!"

...They were?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

Good for the slugs for putting those grumpy old coots out of their misery it was only the humane thing to do #Monsterdon

he sounds like he liked them a little too much. #monsterdon

@Taweret he had not even taken one second to try anything else #monsterdon

#monsterdon Mmmmm.... juicy and full of flavor.

Well, on the bright side. He won't feel his amputation now. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

@aburka Yeah I remember that too, not sure which one it was though

Maybe Frogs?

#Monsterdon

@Louisa

All dubbed because movie made in Spain and many actors did not speak English well.

#Monsterdon

obviously they were "cooking". #monsterdon

Slugs discovered fire!!

#Monsterdon

did…did SAW steal its eponymous bit from SLUGS?

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe And SMILING, because OMG WHAT A CUTE DEATH

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

Oh, an explosion! Thanks, movie! Thank you! Whew, imagine if that scene had kept going. Wow, what a mercy. #Monsterdon

Someone tell the Frogs, THAT'S how you blow up a greenhouse. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon My god I didn't expect that! why was there petrol in the greenhouse???

#Monsterdon thank you slug god for answering my prayers and killing these people

Actually burst out laughing in real life at the convenient line of spilled gasoline

#Monsterdon

they called this movie SLUGS but I feel like a better name based on this scene would have been POOR DECISION MAKING

#monsterdon

This gardening guy is not very good at taking off a glove.

#Monsterdon

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING

#monsterdon #slugs1988

What.

#Monsterdon

Bruce did it better. Still, you got to hand it to him. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

And that was My Husband is getting eaten by slugs, here of K-SLUG radio all the slime all the time #Monsterdon

gave up on his hand pretty quick there, didn't he?

#Monsterdon

Tiny slug eggs hatching slugs that instantly grow 20-50 times the size. Yeah, that tracks #Monsterdon

wtf dude

#monsterdon

a slug being inside the glove (presumably?) is a pretty good bit, though

#Monsterdon

Oh, jeez, that sewer slug is disgusting. Somebody give the VFX guy an academy, please!

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

Is every person in this film a caricature?

#Monsterdon

this greenhouse scene really got out of control fast

#Monsterdon

"JEAN!"

*having violent 90s X-Men flashbacks*

#monsterdon #slugs1988

Funny how in the movies gloves and seatbelts inconveniently become impossible to remove precisely when there is an emergency that would make you want to remove them

#Monsterdon

JAAAAAANE

JAAAAAAAAAAAANE

STOP THIS CRAZY THIIIIIIING

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

saying "ow something is biting my hand' is not how you're supposed to indicate that something is biting your hand in a movie

who has an axe lying around like that?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #Slugs
Every few minutes this turns into a radio-play, e.g. 'Look, there’s an open window!' and 'It’s biting my hand!'.

this could just be a scene from Frogs tbh

#Monsterdon

The slugs just wanted a .... handy man.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

While I was in University they privatised campus food services and the company they outsourced to made lettuce that moved like that too #Monsterdon

#monsterdon There's the toxic waste.

Slug sex

#Monsterdon

This is like a damn infomercial with all the mishaps going on

#Monsterdon

what the hell is going on in that greenhouse

#monsterdon

Why do these greenhouses always have random bottles of poison? Is this a gardening trick I will someday unlock as a homeowner?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

#monsterdon Of course, so many slugs, you'd think the next few scenes would be fishing.

I have an inkling that I'm going to regret eating dinner during tonight's #monsterdon

This gardening couple who hate each other are ADRed for some reason and it's freaking me out

#Monsterdon

Wait, is this movie gonna make me want to never have salad again? #Monsterdon

Oh, Pam. You square.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

#monsterdon it's a really nice greenhouse

When you see that lettuce move in the sink? Gotta think that was the work of slugs #Monsterdon

This just turned into an ABC Afterschool Special.

"How could Romeo and Juliet have solved their problems?"

I have a degree in English Lit, and that's kind of a silly question to ask, IMO.

#Monsterdon

The Seaweed Inspector was a smash hit TV in the 80s

#Monsterdon

THE LETTUCE, IT'S ALIIIIIIVE #monsterdon

If a slug ate my plants like that it would be the last meal it ate....

#Monsterdon

How long is this lunch break?
#Monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien I thought Italy, but same thing, yeah

#monsterdon

How are we supposed to know she's a cheerleader?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon if this is the dialogue they decided to ADR in, I shudder at what the original dialogue sounded like…

The dreaded lettuce mimic slug!!!! #Monsterdon

Now I want a jacket that says “Cheerleader” on the back #monsterdon

"I just want to know what these are"

"They're slugs"

"I don't care what they are, get rid of them."
#monsterdon

Lettuce, prey.

#monsterdon

I wonder if these high schoolers have any importance in this plot
#Monsterdon

Slug Snack Sunday!

Eat your greens!

(And your people)

#Monsterdon

LETTUCE (1988) #Monsterdon

Mullet alert! (I think) #Monsterdon

Fat person on film! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

#Monsterdon #Slugs

NO! not the lettuce! #monsterdon

Audrey III: This Time It's Boston Lettuce

#monsterdon

It's a green house with a greenhouse. This movie is so meta.

#Monsterdon

So far Pam is the best character. Sensible and only wearing a half ton on makeup rather than a full ton.

#Monsterdon

Slug eggs? Well, I guess someone's gonna be having some slug omelets for breakfast!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

#Monsterdon we've been introduced to a whole lot of characters in this film now.

How it started, how it's going.
#monsterdon

"I don't care what they are!"

THEN WHY DID YOU ASK

IS ANYONE IN THIS MOVIE NOT A SHITHEAD? #Monsterdon

Curly mullets are more powerful than straight mullets, FYI. That character ain't getting killed easily.

#monsterdon

why did you ask what they were then?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon these kids have quite possibly the most 80s hair ever to be in a movie.

Wow those two are SO badly dubbed.

Are they the Italian actors De Laurentis insisted on being in the film? He likes doing that.

#monsterdon

I'll give them this: These kids look closer to their intended age than teenagers in these movies usually do.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

ooohh it's a hallowe'en movie too

#monsterdon

Going to Halloween as a slug
#Monsterdon

@OliviaVespera me too... if we don't figure it out otherwise I'll look it up afterwards

#Monsterdon

Oh man, very evocative memory seeing school textbooks coated in brown paper. My mom made me do that with all my books. #monsterdon

These high schoolers get to leave for lunch?
Or is this a very late lunch?
#monsterdon

Ah... the 80s. Where guys had better coifs than gals.

#Monsterdon

ATTENTION EVERYONE! I am now putting on my sleeveless t-shirt. #monsterdon

My favorite character so far is the station wagon

#Monsterdon

I need a playlist of all the random extremely 80s songs we get in these movies.

#monsterdon #slugs1988

YES. #monsterdon https://mastodon.social/@Cherizilla/114492230104524910

She's got expectations. They can start wherever they want so long as she gets results. If the porn music starts up again, I'm out.

#Monsterdon

Oh no she's a "the bell didn't dismiss you, *I* dismiss you" teacher

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I like this tune What's it called?

Boat shoes with no socks, yup, 80s

#monsterdon

And now the soundtrack's doing the burger jingle from Critters 2. #Monsterdon

@apLundell They're 17 in movie years

Every actor is 17 in movie years

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon eeww Mike Brady was ogling the teenagers while they were making out!

Yeah, this def. feels like a small Connecticut town diner in the 80s, something a couple of miles off of the Merritt.
