Dr Evil, you passed up a real good opportunity to quote Nietszche again.

@overholt His #Monsterdon

Ok, whose idea was it for Louis Jordan to be shirtless in this scene? #Monsterdon

macro-pacing is now really dragging, we failed to establish the metaconflict with the rich guy and are now in the lull of "piddling about until we can get to the final battle" #monsterdon

lol, he is not a chess player, his one move is "throwing people into the swamp"

and put on a shirt, ffs...

WILHELM SCREAM!

#Monsterdon

*Swamp Thing picks up the locket previously worn by his sister, since murdered by the mercenaries*

*Swamp Thing picks up broken borosilicate flasks and glassware in the wreckage of its ruined laboratory, miming motions of measuring liquid volumes; the instruments break in the grip of its vine-covered hands*

*Swamp Thing tries very hard to emote while wearing sixteen pounds of silicone prosthetics and at least a pound of green paint and makeup*

1/2

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne wow yeah that's the credentials you want for your stunt designer

#Monsterdon

That pintle mount is too low to be useful, and that boat is too small for that gun.

#monsterdon #swampthing

Expecting a 'Six Million Dollar Man' special noise with these slow motion stunts

#Monsterdon

Don't stand on a speedboat, you're not Rick Ross

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #SwampThing them duke boys sure regretted fighting the swamp thing

Fun stunt shot with the boat.
#Monsterdon

Swamp Thing takes an extremely silly fall

#Monsterdon

I always felt bad for The Thing in Fantastic 4 because he souldn't just change back and forth at will. #monsterdon

@floatybirb He's a black kid living in a rural US area. He has both survived shit and avoided shit. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

I just want an alligator to eat Rambo. Is that too much to ask?

#Monsterdon

Lake Thing!

#Monsterdon

At the ruined cabin, she runs into swamp thing, who finds a memento locket of his human self with his sister in it. He stops to do some science but fails because all the science toys are broken. Then he is sad that he is no longer a slutty scientist but instead a swamp thing, and also his sister is dead. So he yells at the sky again. Valid.

#monsterdon

@log

Can we not even do "that's what she said"?

#Monsterdon

"Bloody lupins!

#obscureMontyPythonReference

#monsterdon

@steggy swamp thing has done far too much neckmaxxing and needs to bring the legs and pecs up a notch to match #monsterdon

@log

Phrasing?

#Monsterdon

@flowerpot Jude got game #Monsterdon

when he bends his thumbs the gloves become very obvious

#Monsterdon

I will be so mad if something happens to my best man Jude #monsterdon

Oh no my swamp thing things, they have been destroyed

#monsterdon

Jude seems to have wandered in from a wholesome film #monsterdon

*Swamp Thing does some light morning calisthenics and howls in agony over an uncaring swamp*

Dude you're middle aged now, you have to remember to do your stretches or every morning is going to suck like this

Also you're at least half plant

#monsterdon

Remember that Swamp Thing has the strength of ferns.

ALL the ferns.

#Monsterdon

He did not! Damn it.

Swamp Thing: ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Me: Same Swamp Thing, same.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Immortality".

What every man has dreamt of since the dawn of time : Immortality as a swamp thing

One of the trucks chases the rambos but Agent Big Hair uses terrain to her advantage and one of the trucks crashes. Eventually she gets surrounded or something but then the swamp thing comes to her rescue, beats up the rambos and absorbs several bullet volleys.

Being at heart a horny scientist, the swamp thing beckons her to come with him but she's like "no", so he fucks off into the swamp.

#monsterdon

I know that scream. Even in the swamp he stepped on a lego. #Monsterdon #SwampThing

I want that Swamp. Thing.

He said it! He said the name of the movie!

#monsterdon

I like that the head Baddie is playing a slightly different movie from everyone else...

#Monsterdon

Does this kid live by himself in the swamp?

#monsterdon

Abdominal Snowman!

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

#monsterdon This kid rocks. He is the only one with an IQ like a phone number.

Shoo! That will do it! #monsterdon

I'm curious about the funding strategy for getting grants as an evil genius. Is a "young doting assistant" a line item on your grant proposal? #Monsterdon

"Here comes trouble."

"Just me."

"Name's Jude."

This is the only good character

#Monsterdon

Jude better survive this or I'm gonna riot

#monsterdon

Say lady... are you dressed like Weird Al for a reason, or

#Monsterdon

Car phone!

@JoeWynne Yet he was unable to make it better.

#Monsterdon

Good thing there are zany wipes… otherwise these transitions might feel *random* /s

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The evil german has a good study, and I do appreciate the lab notebooks being a minor plot point.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

wow these guys can't tell each other apart either

#monsterdon #SwampThing

Hey boss, looks like dere's an X-Wing under the water here!

"Leave it!"

#Monsterdon

@ricci If their ends were dipped in poison and they doubled as darts?

#Monsterdon

The next day, the girl is trying to escape with her secret notes, but the rambos catch her and take a boat out to drown her in the swamp, I guess because shooting her was too efficient.

The lead rambo dumps her into the water and appears to drown her, but then his rowboat is overturned by a SURPRISE SWAMP THING. They try to use guns against the swamp thing, but its not very effective. Meanwhile, Swampy has dragged Agent Big Hair to the shore.

#monsterdon

“The reclusive Swamp Thing stashes his prey under the cover of a bush for later eating.” #monsterdon

guess we're rooting for swamp thing in this one huh

#monsterdon

Swamp thing commeth!

#monsterdon

This was one hell of a stunt. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I know! I'll hide this notebook under a piece of wood in a burning building!

I see thsy have discovered the jelly of friendship (napalm)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🔬 🔪 🧟‍♂️ 🥬 🙅‍♀️ 😱

I would also like to talk to the rambos-must-have-branches-in-their-hats director

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

#Monsterdon

transitioning from... inside a giant clam?

#monsterdon #SwampThing

@arrjay #monsterdon

let alone, lack of offsite data backups.

They’re quoting Nietzsche

This truly is a horror film #Monsterdon

The stuntman must have had an interesting time with that fire

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

The wife getting shot so that he can hook up with his new fling was the most predictable thing ever

#Monsterdon

i honestly can't tell the difference pre- and post-mask removal. besides the hair

#monsterdon

Adrienne Barbeau really putting the "Cable" in "Alice Cable" in this scene. #Monsterdon

Is this a cut-rate Sylvester Stallone?

#Monsterdon

@SRLevine I am glad the basic idea is comprehensible so I don't have to try to follow any of the interpersonal relationships.

#Monsterdon

Kissing leads to penetration just like dad warned us about #Monsterdon

Ray Wise has a cameo in the 1982 remake of Cat People as a man breaking into tears on a soap opera and it looks so much like his later role on Twin Peaks.

#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Wes Craven's Face/Off

#Monsterdon #SwampThing1982

Oh great, she found some Gravy SEAL preppers

#Monsterdon

I will also now be calling the bathroom "the command shed" going forward. #Monsterdon

She's 100% discount Sigourney #monsterdon #TheSwampThing

Am I the only one who thought she was his sister and not his wife? Maybe I missed something...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Propane Tank-fu. I approve.

"the command shed" means "outhouse"
#monsterdon

That was a very random and non-consensual kiss #monsterdon

wtf dude

❤️ During site searching, Wes Craven met Mimi and asked her to take a small part. The part grew. Wes had to extricate her from Louis Jourdan, but they were later married. Then divorced, but she is still known as Mimi Craven.

#SwampThing

corn that could grow in the US in 2001. sir, you have no idea.

#monsterdon

Nixie tube display spotted!! Nice!

#monsterdon

Maybe don't touch that glowing green stuff with your hand lady... It can have results.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing

Hey that's a pretty good SEM prop!

#Monsterdon

So now we're just creating random glowing explosives, what is this lab even

#monsterdon

Why in the world..? If the thing was busted, why wouldn't they bring it back to base to either salvage it or run a postmortem analysis?? Either these scientists are super green to field work or they've never had to deal with writing their own funding grants.

The Secret of the Ooze.

#monsterdon #swampthing1982

"The sensor looks OK to me."

(they pull the sensor off its most, open it, look inside to see some comically large circuit boards with disconnected ribbon cables)

"Well it doesn't look OK to me."

(they toss the opened and dismantled sensor straight into the knee-deep swamp water)

1/2

#monsterdon

Holland, for fuck's sake. Personal space. #Monsterdon

Wait. They aren't going to fix the sensor?! They're just throwing it askance and littering the swamp?!
These are shitty scientists.
