every console needs a blinking PENETRATION light. 😏

#monsterdon

These actors are actually really good, when they’re given decent scripts, but my guess is Craven wouldn’t let them ad-lib anything, so they were stuck with this atrocious, wooden nonsense.

#Monsterdon

so it actually is reanimator juice just for plants okay

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Sorry. When did they become a couple?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We made a discovery, now let's make out!

throwing a bunsen burner does not make you a science god.
I dropped a rack of test tubes once and am still mere mortal
#Monsterdon

SLAP HIM

#monsterdon #SwampThing

feeeed meeeeeeeee

#monsterdon #SwampThing

A biologist who throws bunsen burners

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh not. That pine looks suspicious!

So when does superplant Audrey II start singing?

#Monsterdon

Out here in the swamp, you only get one channel, channel 3, and it ain't no good.
#monsterdon

Qh yes I remember 2001 when wall 6.5+ billion of us were starving 24 years ago and they saved us with the desert tomato beast #Monsterdon

I mean... fungi and animal would work out way better, but I'm a bit biased. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I for one would love to see a plant jump out and start dancing the fandango.
#Monsterdon

Vegetable cell with an animal nucleus.

If he's looking for organisms that photosynthesize and eat, there are plenty of protists that can.

If he wants animals that photosynthesis. You don't start with Bacillus unless you want to wait a couple of million years.

#Monsterdon

no i want it to jump out of the beaker and sing hello my baby hello my darling hello my ragtime gal

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Remember when 2001 seamed like a long way away? Different perspective from 2025.
#Monsterdon

The dialogue in this movie is horrible.

#Monsterdon

Animal, vegetable, mineral? #Monsterdon

Ah of course, the two great branches of the tree of life, animal and vegetable

#Monsterdon

Last I checked *Looks outside* yup, we're still growing corn in the US of A and it's well past 2001.

#Monsterdon

"in the year 2001"

WELL THAT DATES THINGS

#monsterdon

The magic words "recombinant DNA"!
Soon we will have vegetable meats!
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Yeah just stand RIGHT over the top of the explosive liquid.

#monsterdon

Did he refer to a bacterium as—either "plant' or "anima—Wait, I can't keep up with all the dodgy science in this bit

#Monsterdon

They probably use the radiation to make their explosive glow, because why not

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Aren't you tired of plants that just wilt and die if you breathe on them? Wouldn't you rather have a plant that GETS IT DONE like a timber wolf?!

#Monsterdon
"DNA" has been said. "Recombinant DNA". Anyone have that on a Bingo card..?

We got a Lucas-like slide wipe.
#monsterdon

DNA chromosomes! Science words!

#monsterdon

@cargot_robbie She’s totally not a wannabe Sigourney, and he’s totally not a wannabe Burt Reynolds. These folks are good actors in their own right. (Maybe not in this movie, though.)

#Monsterdon

"I am very close to growing a plant with an animal's aggressive desire to survive."

"And a mushroom's intense desire to stay in one place."

#monsterdon

radio shack colour computer monitor

now that's product placement!

#monsterdon #SwampThing

can't really follow, but is what is happening here "science explanation about how DNA is actually dynamite in the right conditions" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Did you just tell a woman with IQ 'like a phone number' to be careful with an explosive liquid? ...Though she did dip her fingers in it. Objection withdrawn.

Sciencing electronics.

#Monsterdon

We make edibles here

#Monsterdon

Big old chonky cassette futurism set up there...

#Monsterdon

"this is literally dynamite"
dunks her hand in the stuff.

#monsterdon

Yes, yes, Scoop the scary glowing liquid with your unprotected fingers. Such a good plan!

#Monsterdon

That’s not a possum, that’s a possum!

#Monsterdon

We are witnessing that rare film event where Ray Wise is the good guy.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Gahhhh, stahp talking, faux-aussie guy. Your accent is infuriatingly fake. :blobcatnotlikethis:

#monsterdon #swampthing1982

You know it's a good #monsterdon when half the costumes are just generic camo from the sporting goods store.

#monsterdon My kingdom for waders! Why no waders! You could walk anywhere in the swamp and not have to pull gnarly out of your shoes and socks! Ah well... Wes Craven loves goopy.

He’s the poor man’s Jeff Goldblum

#Monsterdon

They don't have sexual harassment HR training videos in the swamp.

#monsterdon #SwampThing

@allanb I thought it actually said "Caution Radiation" (and more text that was cut off)

#Monsterdon

this is a terrible first date. she's not gonna throuple.

#monsterdon

“Save the malarkey for your wife.”

#Monsterdon

how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a sensor pop?

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Okay, I buy Holland's attitude on nature and why swamps are interesting, but eugh...

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Good thing she packed a skin tight deep v neck and a Hawaiian shirt.

#Monsterdon

Chekhov’s quicksand???
#monsterdon

"Pump and flow"

Ray Wise is putting some moves on Barbeau
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon GenX quicksand, in the swamp. Yeah, well, ohhh-tay.

#Monsterdon

@nev same

#Monsterdon

They wanted a Crocodile Dundee Australian accent. They got a Scouser with a hat.
#monsterdon

Was Ray Wise just abusing a ferret?!

#Monsterdon

Ahhh, comic book movies. A high tech subterranean facility in the middle of a swamp.

With clean, dry walls and everything.

#monsterdon #swampthing1982

Back when fingerprint scanners were futuretech to show your secret base was cool

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

It's Young Ray Wise!

#Monsterdon

"...this is where we grow pumpkin spice."

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

I'm still wondering why there are dime store commandos in this Swamp.
Does that make it Florida..?

#Monsterdon

I don't think she was properly prepared for this journey #monsterdon

Is that guy's accent Aussie or Scottish? It's as wobbly as that swamp porch.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

#monsterdon The substance. You can almost catch a whiff of Unobtanium.

the _substance_

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Oh yes, suit man, they brought a WOMAN who KNOWS THINGS, yes, it turns out THIS IS POSSIBLE

#monsterdon

So they chased a guy to rub a snake on his face? #Monsterdon #SwampThing

"You think the Pope isn't Catholic?"

Haha that old chestnut

#Monsterdon

Why did he wear a suit to a swamp, and why did she wear heels?

#Monsterdon

SWAMP CHURCH

#monsterdon

Better use of the land anyway, nature over churches any day.

#Monsterdon

A trouser snake?

#Monsterdon

Ooh, ooh. Are those wood spikes sticking out of the water…cypress knees?

#Monsterdon

"...we got a runner, I mean swimmer, I mean splasher"

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Yeah they sent a woman out here. Haven't you seen Alien?

#Monsterdon

Nailed the guy? Like...???

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Me at work next year: "one of those life forms nailed the guy you're replacing."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Mark casual sexism on your Bingo card.

Gators near washington... is this a joke about DC being built on a swamp?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982
