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.

there are no slugs in his glove. He's really just suffering from existential despair. #monsterdon

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.

@bunnyhero #monsterdon
I doubt that’s going to be what most detracts from your enjoyment of this movie.

@hollie "The latest in the Slow Slasher series! SLOTHS! You're gonna die... slow" #Monsterdon

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

How long is this lunch break?
#Monsterdon

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

#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

That was some early-career Cindy Lauper playing on the jukebox there

Some of her lesser-known works

#monsterdon

Audrey III: This Time It's Boston Lettuce

#monsterdon

apparently it also ate the ADR staff. yikes. #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

@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

🚨 Mullet sighting

#Monsterdon

My favorite character so far is the station wagon

#Monsterdon

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

This fucking soundtrack. #monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR EVER

#monsterdon

Every human in the #Monsterdon is so full of shit all the sewers in town have to be like 3 metres in diameter

“Class discussion foreshadows future” cliche? The kids are going to see slugs but no one believes them? #monsterdon

Teenage wisdom as dispensed by a 40-year-old actor

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

That is not how we discuss romeo and juliette in school, kids.

"And this is the sewer's spleen.. and here is its liver.." Are we supposed to know what those things are?

#Monsterdon

john cougar (né mellencamp) hanging out outside high schools again

#monsterdon #slugs1988

[still a few minutes behind]

Going down into the sewer with my giant respirator, so that I have something to immediately take off when I get down there

#Monsterdon

That's why she's called that? I thought it was a sex thing.... :neofox_confused:

#Monsterdon

Warning folks, the dog is cute, the owner is a vocal woman, and it's a horror movie.

#Monsterdon

I don't remember there being so many thirty somethings in my high school classes.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

Romeo and Juliet? that better be thematic foreshadowing

#monsterdon

I should have eaten supper before I started watching. 🤢 #Monsterdon

Huh, teens that actually look like teens. A rarity. #Monsterdon

When it steals your steel bar, it's definitely time to go #monsterdon

The humans are really trying, but so far the dogs and the slugs are carrying the movie.
#monsterdon

i've also lost track of how many times i've said "EWW" out loud already

#monsterdon

Take the poison in the first act ??! #Monsterdon

Tigers shirt, maybe is THAT Wayne County #monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, that's not good. The moment he frees whatever is blocking that it'll just gush with nasty. Or, the slugs will just eat his crowbar. Holy rollers.

parent's just don't understand (version 0) (1988)

#monsterdon #slugs1988

You have offended the Sewer Slug Guild! This infraction will be recorded...
