#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

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

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

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

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

@jonny They're getting bad rap for sure

#monsterdon

The dog wishes you didn't drink so much

#Monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP

Good gosh, one scene in and already a sluggulous fountain of blood in the middle of a lake? These slugs are wasting no time at all.

(THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA?!!?)

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Slugs the movie, not the Interpretive Dance or the Opera, or the Childrens Little Golden Book!

Slugs (The movie) as not to be confused with Slugs the dinner plate. #Monsterdon #Slugs1988

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

A big slimy welcome to all new participants and lurkers tonight!!

#Slugs

Oh my god! They hit the red food coloring pipeline! #Monsterdon

oh no he spilled his Kool aid in the water

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon it begins

@Lazarou yeah, I'm glad I had a BLT before #Monsterdon ... not worried about it at all ...

That was something. There were oddly bits that made sense. Like the local government grappling with the problem, not a bunch of kids with a hole in the yard. The slugs were as disgusting as they should be.

Why didn't they try shovelling road salt into the sewers? Does a movie gotta blow up shit, it what?

THE END?

#Monsterdon #Slugs1988

@Terencio ENSLUGGENED. #monsterdon

well, i was 20 minutes behind on the timeline there, and it wasn't because i was watching the movie. great job, everyone, treat yourself to a slug-infested salad on me. (^_^) #monsterdon

@jonny Really disappointed we only saw vicious slug pointy teeth once. #monsterdon

anyway lobby seems to be clearing out so good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #slugs1988

I like that someone finally told the dickhead sheriff where to stick it. #Monsterdon #slugs

@apLundell a lot of later ones get labeled as Jaws ripoffs but something like Day of the Animals might fit the bill #Monsterdon

Well, those were some slugs.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and to all of you for making it fun!

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok I liked him over Mike tbh #Monsterdon

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event.

This week we watched SLUGS (1988). It had milquetoast characters, bizarre dialogue and soundtrack, and the world's most adorable horror slug puppet chomping down on whats-his-name's finger.

See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

I was going crazy all movie trying to remember who Bobby reminded me of. But I FINALLY figured it out. It's Henry Rollins

#Monsterdon

Well that traffic cone means that yet another #monsterdon has come to an end. Thanks again to the whole community for making this one of the highlights of the week.

Well, that sure was a movie that tried very hard to completely ignore the obvious solution in favor of something that would let them blow things up at the end. Also super gross in lots of ways! See y'all next week, #monsterdon!

@MylesRyden @allanb @Taweret half the italian movie industry is just money laundering so why not

#monsterdon #slugs1988

@secretlybatman imagine the smell....

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry, no, he's been in a sewer all night, I am NOT kissing that.

#Monsterdon #Slugs

This is not a drill! The slugs will return for Avengers: Endgame 2: Electric Boogaloo #Monsterdon

Slugs 2: electric boogaloo #Monsterdon #slugs

@_L1vY_ you've got the wrong Wayne County...

PS sorry for being a reply-being, but I've lived in both those Wayne Counties, and it really bugs me when they get mixed up

#Monsterdon

Id take the gross rubber suit off before kissing my SO #monsterdon

@amyfou I got "they nest" next.

#monsterdon

@amyfou Mine is "They Nest" which is apparently about carniverous cockroaches. Also nope.

#Monsterdon

They forgot the ASS

#Monsterdon

BOOM! Hahaga Yes! BURN BABY BURN!

Uhoh orchestrated Psycho music They're still doomed

THE END

Probably for the best really. They were all suffering each other so much anyways

Thanks for another amusing if icky #Monsterdon @Taweret ! Glad I finished my spaghetti and meatballs before the good parts!

that's a wreck, folks

I can't believe they went to the trouble of making SLUG CHOMP VFX and then only used it in one scene

#Monsterdon

Boy the insurance company is going to have a LOT of questions about these claims
#Monsterdon

@allanb @Taweret wait is that the real number

tell me that's the real number abd mean it please

#monsterdon #slugs1988

in this #monsterdon the monsters finally got don!!!!!

LIVE BY THE SLUG, DIE BY THE SLUG!

#Monsterdon #Slugs

#Monsterdon I am disappoint a the attempted sexual assault followed by the girl getting slugged. :(

Those aren't real names.

Those are bad Scrabble hands.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Slugs 2: Mollusk on the Barbee!

#Monsterdon

One slug, to avenge them all
#monsterdon

Slugs going to slug!
#Monsterdon

ty for joining, everyone!!

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry but slugs just aren't menacing

#Monsterdon

THE END???? #monsterdon

Damn, just like the end of Dead Ringers

#Monsterdon

"We could never have done it without him, Mike. Unless that was Mike. You're Mike, right?" #monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if the movie would have been better if this guy could act.

now whe see where they spent the bulk of their budget in this movie, and it wasn't in the soundtrack
#monsterdon

"you did good, SLUGger!" #monsterdon

They destoryed the town but they got their slugs. #Monsterdon

Sorry about your friend, Brady. Dan, was it?

#monsterdon #slugs1988

I so so want to shake the pyrotechnics person.

#Monsterdon

hope the whole town burns down

#monsterdon

Now there went the entire budget for this film (explosions starting at 1:23 in a 1:30 movie). Because it clearly didn't go to script writing, actors, or directors...

#Monsterdon

"Samuel L. Bronkowitz presents 'That's Armageddon'"

If you know, you know.
