Jayne County, who was Wayne County before she changed it, wasn't from Wayne County.

#monsterdon

oh no wait, that's one of the jocks from earlier, isn't it|?

so many drunk blondes...

#Monsterdon

Slug's gonna pull the ol' xenomorph routine, just you wait

#monsterdon

@Taweret she was all like "cool this new lettuce has built in anchovies" #Monsterdon

This limey is going to start singing "The Candyman Can" any minute

#monsterdon

lol @ this woman's drinking problem....

#Monsterdon

"i can't risk losing you."
ma'am, i read an excerpt of this novel, i'm pretty sure you're gonna need another drink after this scene. #monsterdon

Chekhov’s salad #monsterdon

You had a crap on the couch?
#monsterdon

This guy just saw the slugs in the garden, identified the slime trails, and then pretended he didn’t know anything about slugs #monsterdon

The music... it's a little much

#monsterdon

reminder that they usually put these expository scenes in these movies so teenagers can make out at the drive-in

#monsterdon

"Why do you ask?"

Well I know I rushed here to ask you questions, but for some reason I'm not going to ask them right now and instead I'm going to end the scene so that we can move on to another SUPER GROADY sex scene. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon <apocalypse now col kurtz voice> "I saw a slug... crawling along the edge of a straight.... razor...."

#monsterdon There is zero situational awareness here, and I'm here for it. This is all a great setup. They are all kinda just waddling through the movie.

The biggest slug is Limax cinereoniger, native to Europe

#monsterdon

Director: “Actors, please barely try. Orchestra, try too hard”
#monsterdon

Why are we getting ominous music during the lettuce chopping bit here? Sure it's gross that she's chopping up a giant slug at the same time but, like, in this particular Slug vs. Human match-up she obviously got the upper hand.

(Also that dude looked a little bit like Justin Trudeau, that was unnecessary and a little bit rude.)

#monsterdon

That cleaner DGAF about these two running around with their slug quest

#Monsterdon

I look away for one minute…the slugs carry explosives?
#monsterdon

does the writer of this movie think this is sexy talk??? #monsterdon

Were backyard greenhouses exploding in the 80s or something?

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

"Hey yourself!"

And other hot pickup lines from Bob Saget. #Monsterdon

TOOTHY SLUG CHOMP

Oh man oh man that was worth the price of admission right there

#monsterdon

Guy chops his handoff at the drop of a hat

#monsterdon

that what she said, etc

#Monsterdon

Harold didn't deserve a better fate

#monsterdon

AHAHAHA THIS IS AMAZING. This guy just blew up his house because a slug bit his hand. I never thought I’d see something make Humanoids from the Deep look good. #monsterdon

Didn’t have explosions on the list. But it is an 80s movie. #monsterdon

"I liked them.....A LOT"

Horny old swinger couple RIP

#Monsterdon

. . . sl'arson

#monsterdon

Gonna tell my kids this is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen #monsterdon

#monsterdon YAY! Hatchet time!

I wish we were watching the movie what's her name with the drinking problem is watching

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon what a time to play loud music and polish the bannisters

Good exposition there with
"There's something biting my hand"

#monsterdon

If only his vials of poison were marked POISON like in The Frogs!

#Monsterdon

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

*ominous moving lettuce in the sink*

this lettuce is about to outlive the career of a tremendously unpopular and ineffective politican

#monsterdon

lol, slugs in the gloves!

#Monsterdon

[menacing lettuce noises]

#Monsterdon

I know it's probably slugs but I would prefer that we were looking at a sentient head of lettuce

#Monsterdon

@OliviaVespera I think this was the director’s cousin’s band or something #monsterdon

FWIW, this is what slug/snail eggs actually look like. They are found in the soil, not on plant leaves. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Slug_eggs.jpg

#Monsterdon

Oh I recognize this greenhouse from Frogs (1972)!

edit: to be clear, I am very aware that this is not the same actual greenhouse, I just expect it to serve a similar narrative purpose in this film

#monsterdon

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

Some of her lesser-known works

#monsterdon

apparently it also ate the ADR staff. yikes. #monsterdon

rap legend eminem, what's your opinion of the fashion sense of Slugs (1988)?

"DENIMMMMMMM, DENIM DENIM, DENIMMMM"

#monsterdon

What does the Goatkiller do? He kills… people. #monsterdon

Teenagers planning a party, Monsters hate that sort of thing

It's like a 'town fair full of blonde children' to them

#Monsterdon

i think the slugs also ate the acting in this movie. #monsterdon

#monsterdon The music is just a random 8-track with a stutter.

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

Why was 80s and 90s culture obsessed with the sewer?! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i hope that dog gets loose but the old lady gets eaten

Now it’s trying to be both Alligator and C.H.U.D. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

There's only one Mike Brady, and he had a much better perm.

@moira Do we think this film will pass the Bechdel test? Make your bets now.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Jesus Christ, the sewers! A fatberg of slug slime built up, and then so many shoulder pads and feminine hygeine products gave the slugs unnatural celerity.

this is one of those movies where I hate everyone

#Monsterdon

Wait, his name's Mike Brady? Is this is where he ended up after he and Carol divorced? Christ, what a comedown!

#monsterdon #slugs1988

i've already lost track of who anybody is

#monsterdon

I feel like we could have done without the "town drunk never cleans his toilet" detail. #slugs1988 #Monsterdon

...raccoons? _Racoons_?!

#monsterdon #slugs1988

Raccoons???? #monsterdon

the junk food is what turned the slugs toxic #monsterdon

@steggy That’s what this needs. Shatner. #monsterdon

Body count: 2

The slugs are getting off to a strong, fast start. Dog's fine though! (I forgot to check doesthedogdie.com for this movie, heck.)

#monsterdon

@gnomon and her kids called their teacher the "Wicked Bitch of the North" and she DIDN'T brag about whooping their asses? In the 80s?!

Abso-fucking-lutely unbelievable. Is that how the rich GenX kids were raised, or something?

#Monsterdon

You can go back in, but don't lick anything
#monsterdon

Hooray, the dog lived!!!!!!!!!!

#monsterdon

Hey dog's fine though. #monsterdon

Doggo's like "tried to warn 'im"

#Monsterdon #Slugs

Is this Wayne County Michigan? WhereIggy & the Stooges were from?

#monsterdon

That must be the most epic music to which any police car has ever pulled up to a house

#Monsterdon

majestic fanfare

Tonight on SHERIFF PATROL!

#monsterdon

OMG a K car WAGON. In case anyone was still wondering if this was really the 80s

#monsterdon

"snails, slugs, what the hell's the difference" oh that guy's getting slugged. #monsterdon

He's right to be angry, smoking kills

#Monsterdon

this is gonna be one of those movies where I'm just like 'why don't they just leave town' isn't it?

#Monsterdon

So wait buddy cop movie time?

#monsterdon

So far slugs (?) have attacked people:

1) in a lake

2) on a couch

I’m confused about their habitat #Monsterdon

Slugs gonna watch you fuck #monsterdon

#monsterdon Male tap on the hips, they're slug swingers.

Chekhov’s lingerie #monsterdon

Shoulder pads to negligee pipeline #80s #monsterdon

#Monsterdon (aside: DO NOT attempt to bring back the fashion of the 1980s. DO NOT)

@Lazarou We gotta have something to work up to

#Monsterdon

You know, #monsterdon , I was questioning that this was an 80s movie at all.

And suddenly, shoulder pads and exploded hair.

Meanwhile in an 80s business movie

#monsterdon #slugs

Welcome to SHOULDERPADS ACROSS THE AGES, starring these assholes

#monsterdon #slugs1988

@LK_877 Hm, eusocial slugs

#monsterdon #slugs

Pretty nice house for a drunk who will soon be eaten by slugs.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon we have slugsign

we have slugsign

This is how men live though.....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐌 🐌 🐌 💀 🩸 😱

@jivens did Gracie and Niko get upset at this dog's whining? Because I did.

"I'm Divorced, you could tell?"

#Monsterdon

If he gets evicted, he'll be like a snail without its shell! #monsterdon

@jonny They're getting bad rap for sure

#monsterdon

This crap was played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?? #monsterdon
