Pizza arrived during a climax moment. Did Feynman survive the exploding luminol? Who's drowning?

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

they shoot like Stormtroopers

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Come-downance!!

#Monsterdon 👨‍🔬 🔪 🧟‍♂️ 🥬 🙅‍♀️ 😱

SWAMP THING!

#monsterdon Fuck yo boat!

Are those digital wipes between scenes there to remind this is based on a comic book?

#Monsterdon

hmm choice
rapists in a boat
orrrrr
watery death
watery death pls
#Monsterdon

MONSTER TIME #monsterdon #TheSwampThing

@jonny I do like an occasional “foreshadowed monster shows up at the 2/3 mark for the climax”, myself, but that’s real tricky to pull off. #monsterdon

These guys in camo with little sprigs of greenery in their caps look silly #monsterdon

How else were we gonna see her in a wet tee?

#Monsterdon

Teach her how to swim? I thought she was getting a bath! Make up your mind!
#Monsterdon

leeches get sneeches

#monsterdon #SwampThing

merely being pressed up against the side of a tree does not constitute hiding. you must take into consideration whether you are also in the middle of where everyone is #monsterdon

minutes later i can't get over the unnecessary face peel. he could have just said "you didn't meet the previous guy" or something, but we had to have a rubber mask #Monsterdon

Aw he left the locket behind, such a sentimental mercenary.

#monsterdon

I'm gonna teach this lady how to swim! The first lesson is...

fill your lungs with air and you can float on the water surface! Try flipping onto your back, it's easier. You'll get the hang of it. Do you want the water wings?

#ActuallyNice

#monsterdon

Huzzah! My favorite character survived that mess of nonsense! #monsterdon

i think someone is about to be revenged
#Monsterdon

Uh oh. Are we setting up a redeemable henchperson? #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I feel like that's supposed to be Nef Beatty #Monsterdon

@Taweret yeah it's kind of disturbing

#Monsterdon

And now for a history lesson digression.
Swamp Thing is arguably the most famous muck man made of bog plants, but he wasn't the first.
The first (probably) was IT! a short story from 1940.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown

#Monsterdon

Those flames seem to be all practical, and today, that would all be CGI. Salute! Stunt team!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon did they ADR this one guy with Gilbert Gottfried, but like, only every third line?

Ok, so the backstory was a prophesy. #Monsterdon

oh neat, mission impossible gag before mission impossible?
#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

oh gosh, those goons look so lost
#monsterdon

again, DIG THAT WAVY WIPE

#monsterdon

Oh my god the wavy-cut transition this movie's editor really left it all on the field.

#Monsterdon

Whaddya call a scene transition like that, a clam wipe

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🔬 🔪 🧟‍♂️ 🥬 🙅‍♀️ 😱

Wait mask guy put his mask back on?

@pngwen Better than my "jumped up and down in my office forgetting about the rolling desk chair behind me from my co-worker, tripped over it and fell" celebration?

(no coworkers were present, It was a totally unobserved prat fall)

#Monsterdon

Ah, the ooze transition into a reverse ooze transition. Love it!
#Monsterdon

I suppose it isn't worth pointing out that arcane is an adjective.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Transitions by disco-man..

I mean

it is convenient they did all this in a swamp, so they can easily destroy the place.

#monsterdon

Just how many bodies are in the Louisiana swamp right now?

#Monsterdon

that was a good long Person On Fire sequence tho.

#monsterdon

Professor Hyde-White!?
#monsterdon #scoobydoo

@Violinknitter you figure with such advanced fake face tech that they'd do better with the fake accents #Monsterdon

Nonononono... I don't want that guy to be the monster 😑 #monsterdon

Mission Impossible villain mask reveal!

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

#monsterdon An ooze-wipe?! AMAZING

Love that transition.

#Monsterdon

[Born On The Bayou by Creedence Clearwater Revival begin playing]

#monsterdon

iiiiiiiii ain't got no boooooooooood-ies! no-bodies-no

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Oooh! Aaaah! Underwater fireworks.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

That was an interesting fade... Lucas never used the curtain fade!

#monsterdon

How'd Robert Englund's stunt double get in this one? #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I don't see how killing the scientist developing your immortality serum is the best approach...

#Monsterdon

No way, Johnny Storm!
#Monsterdon

I don't think Nietzsche meant it that way; Arcane should go back and take a philosophy course.

#Monsterdon

@nev i thought she said "our dad" earlier #Monsterdon

Okay, that *is* an impressive fire sequence. 💯 points to the movie.

#monsterdon #swampthing1982

you just know that stuntman on fire had the best day at work ever #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Will he become a swamp thing?

Oh heck yeah. A really really long man on fire stunt. Well three different shots, but all long ones.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Gratuitous flame suit stunt.

#Monsterdon

Man so on fire he's gonna look like Freddy Kruger when he's done. #monsterdon

That's some really dumb looking bad guy with the headband
#monsterdon

@fabio NOOOOOOOO!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Swamp Rambo: "You drew first swamp blood..."

Wait, are they married? Did she walk in on her husband kissing another woman, and get shot by a terrorist, in the same damn day?

edit: more attentive Monsterdonians inform me they're brother and sister

#Monsterdon

the chief rambo explains his deal to the scientists. they're mercenaries, working for the big hat guy, who was evil the whole time and wants their secret swamp formula. actually he is a different evil guy who had impersonated the big hat guy. Anyway, he threatens to kill his sister if he won't give them his secret swamp formula. He tries to mislead them and they kill her, because they're evil.

#monsterdon

NOW AND FOREVER I AM

SWAMP-THING-IX

#monsterdon #SwampThing

#monsterdon Good flame suit stunt.

The original Human Torch!

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

TOASTY!

#Monsterdon

Our Muldoon pulled a Mission Impossible. What. #monsterdon

Every 80s action movie has at least one man on fire shot #monsterdon #TheSwampThing

good 'flaming man' stuntwork there

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

There's your answer to the not-Aussie accent that wasn't identifiable as anything else.

LOUIS JOURDAN

Watch out, he's got a snake in his pants!

#monsterdon

Were the drums really that necessary?
#Monsterdon

okay, actual points for the ladies in this movie not being afraid to punch a dude and try to make a run for it.

#monsterdon

Ooh! Face removal! He’s… French? #Monsterdon

Most movies high a noted British thespian to be their villain. But here we have Louis Jourdan, a scenery chewing Frenchman!
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Oh hey, this is where they filmed the album cover for Wish You Were Here? Makes sense.

Welcome to the machine!

#monsterdon

I was hoping she'd flip their boat #monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if the glowing formula is the same as the one from Reanimator.

Oh no, she got U.N.C.L.E chopped #Monsterdon #SwampThing

Perfect latex mask removal reveal! Mission Impossible wants its Peter Graves back. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

A real "mask off" moment early in the film. Let's see how it works out.
I'm digging the evil guy accent.
#Monsterdon

Now we have Evil German Accent, in contrast to whatever the heck we had before #Monsterdon

They beat up my favorite character though she put up a good fight first. Still unanswered is why there are weird commandos in the swamp. #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow

PERSON WE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IS ACTUALLY PERSON WE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🔬 🔪 🧟‍♂️ 🥬 🙅‍♀️ 😱

in case anyone cares, I still do not understand

Oh no! It's Swamp Thing meets FaceOff! #monsterdon

Thank heaven for little swap things.

#Monsterdon

I've worked in many labs, and I have yet to see anyone grab someone and kiss them. I did celebrate a discovery by bringing in coffee for everyone once though. Does that count? #Monsterdon

well rambo is a science god now for smashy a beaker #Monsterdon

What is this Mission impossible swamp edition?
#monsterdon

so, if this formula makes growth from the inorganic

why isn't it growing in the beaker?

#monsterdon

OH NO HE'S GERMAN

#Monsterdon

damn, that's some mission impossible leve shit right there. also, that really explains his accent problems.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Honestly, why bother with the mask in this swamp..? That's a lot of effort.

#monsterdon #swampthing1982

YES give practical the BUDGET let them PLAY

Professor Hyde-White??!!!!!!

#Monsterdon
