can you reproduce when you're immortal?

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Chekov's rubber pipe

#Monsterdon

I wonder what they alive guy under the car is up to (yes I know, it's obvious)

#Monsterdon

That was a good idea - not putting handles on the heavy, unwieldly Asphyx containment unit.

#Monsterdon

My own... Personal... Asphyx.

#Monsterdon

"Darling, if you love me, step into the guillotine...."

Err, no

#Monsterdon

Lolwut. Is this how you make a vampire? #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

That Asphyx box is lighter than it looks

#Monsterdon

WTF. This is so dumb. So you don't have to die, just think you are?

#monsterdon

RE: https://sunny.garden/@steggy/115642101836925540

In case the electric chair malfunctions? #monsterdon

do you still have to shave and get a haircut when you're immortal?

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

I have no clue who this third man is

#Monsterdon

I mean, he's immortal so long as the water pipe doesn't break.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Clearly that electricity did no damage whatever, as you can see by how normal and stable I am!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

Sir Hugo is icky.

@yatsu Yeah the whole thing about being the one to control your own execution was only like the third weirdest part of that scene

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

"...if I tell you, you must promise to forget everything I say"
"Well, that kind of defeats the purpose, don't you think?"

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

With the extended cut, I'm only up to the thrilling furniture-moving scene.

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 Yeah that's sus #monsterdon

What went wrong

what what was it

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

#monsterdon

I don't understand Victorian science.

@nev right? eternal life is a LONG time.

Some negotiation required for sure.

#monsterdon

@brooke Right!! Bills for eternity. No thanks. #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

Um, why is there a guillotine?

#monsterdon

everlasting life? are they mormons??
#theasphyx #monsterdon

tbh even if I was absolutely 100% certain I had met the love of my life and wanted to be with them till death do us part, etc., if you were like "okay what about ETERNAL LIFE with them" I would be like "ehhhhh maybe not"

#Monsterdon

I like how he's come up with this elaborate plan to prevent himself from ever opening the combination lock that holds his asphyx.... like when you're tired of eternal life, too bad, you forgot the combination. The property is now under a parking lot....

#Monsterdon

You really need to plan for maintenance for such a finicky phylactery as this. N+1 redundancy is the bare minimum.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

I've got to absorb your beam into mine!

More romantic words were never spoken.

#monsterdon

I think immortality through imprisoning one’s asphyx hasn’t been thought through very well. They’re not immune to aging or disease, not immune to pain.

#Monsterdon

It just occurred to me...could Sifl & Olly be asphyxes? #monsterdon #theasphyx

Alright, so... sleeping overnight in an airtight coffin that isn't properly sealed but is airtight anyway somehow so he suffocates and doesn't die doesn't hurt.

But a bit of sudden light is just so painful.

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Violinknitter

Plausible. And it would be the most interesting thing about this film!!!!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

#monsterdon

THis movie is a strange mix of The Hunger and Ghostbusters.

What further proof??? Sir, I’m not even sure I believe the coffin was really air tight. There are SO many variables we haven’t accounted for yet!

#Monsterdon

- Is he allright?
- well, he is smoking, that should be right.
#monsterdon #theasphyx

Oh, the smell of burning flesh in that room is going to be delightful.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx "but if we become immortal, how will we pay for eternal retirement?"

Where did that maid come from? Where have you been the last hour?
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@jonny Oh, I thought he was a relative that had caught tuberculosis or something #monsterdon

Why did he need to spend the night in a fastened coffin?

Where did they get the coffin on such short notice?

Why is Christine(a?) having to put up with two such Drama Queens???

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

Oh. I just realized why the opening sequence with the car and the train is going to make sense. I mean, sort of.

"Hi, so, we'd like to kill you, but it's okay, we'll capture your death muppet and then you'll be immortal--"

#Monsterdon

i can only hope the costumes in this movie earned their creator work on a much better film.

#monsterdon

@ryan

"Maxphyxymum Overdrive"

This film needs more cocaine and Keith David

#Monsterdon

Why is he slipping in a coffin?
#monsterdon

@Vanalope Indeed. What if this guy's asphyx goes into the piggie? #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

"That the experiment required two pairs of hands was an oversight that could have proven fatal!"

Ha, exactly. You're the sensible one of the bunch.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx yes, slowly zoom into this gorgeous lavender dress with black trim she's wearing

This movie is so slow I bet @_L1vY_ is getting a lot of work done, right now.
#Monsterdon

Evergreen #Monsterdon post.

How does immortality work when your mortal shell has been chucked through a woodchipper? It's not like you also have mutant healing ability.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@Zerofactorial i think the doctor adopted giles from the TB home? #monsterdon

There is no turning back!

Um, raises hand.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Yeah, just happen to have this convenient dungeon down here..

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

the heck?

5 seconds of giles POV and then they got bored of that technique #monsterdon

Both Giles and Christina are named Cunningham, are they related by blood? I'm mixed up #monsterdon

Funny that Jesus wants to be immortal.

#Monsterdon

Science my asphyx. #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

@diazona It really was a weird decision. We could all see it coming from a mile away.

#Monsterdon

You barely managed with two of you! Get more accomplices next time!

This is clearly your first attempt, jeez.

#Monsterdon

Can't die but like, brain damage? Hello? #monsterdon

GOOD morning good morning good morning

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

I've created an electro-stym chair!

And am slightly aroused.

#monsterdon

Tell curly nightmare about your worries my lamb. Nothing to fear from him at all.
#Monsterdon

Small domesticated rodents are famous for how well they adapt to being sent out into the wild.

#Monsterdon

For all the 1970s of his hairstyle, at least they shaved off his mutton chops.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

giles flipped to team immortality for basically no reason and the movie is way worse for it #monsterdon

@amyfou Since they're already (adoptive) siblings, you'd think that ship had sailed, but no.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Nothing can contain that Asphyx

(wolf whistle)

#Monsterdon

The Death Muppet Containment Unit looks awfully fragile to trust with your eternal life #Monsterdon

"If I tell you, you must promise to forget everything I've said."

And you call yourself a (mad) scientist.

#Monsterdon

He sure snaps at her a lot for a fiancee

#monsterdon

That. Mauve. Dress!!!

I’m telling you. Stellar costuming choice

#Monsterdon

@ramsey 😆

#Monsterdon 👻 #TheAsphyx1972

@wohali lol tbf I'm wearing headphones #monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

Christina should *definitely* be lying to Giles.

A lock wich is impenetrable.
A combination lock?
Exactly!

Call the lock pick lawyer!

#monsterdon

@Violinknitter

Like the passive-aggressive insult to a director that "the cinematography was great."

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Will immortal also mean unaging?

#monsterdon

I'll just keep doing Victorian ghostbuster metaphors until they stop working.

#Monsterdon

Hey I have a brilliant idea. Let me tempt Death

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #theAsphex

This approach to immortality can sort of exist via science but god and religion are also real feels very 19th century.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

did the woman who drowned serve any plot function #monsterdon

He splashed out on the Asphyx Suite, with a martini freshly prepared on top.

#monsterdon

so if they used this method to preserve some algae

would it be

a lich-en

:D ? #monsterdon

caution lady, is the killer guinea pig!
#monsterdon #theasphyx

The undead guinea pig likes her back; it found its way to her bed.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

i think i saw this part in the green mile
#theasphyx #monsterdon

But if "even death may die", then does death have an assphix as well?

#monsterdon

"Then....whatever happens....he cannot die"

<nods>
"Hold my beer"

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Y’all keep talking about how boring the movie is, but these sets are so visually interesting! And the costumes aren’t bad either

#Monsterdon

@nev the plan seems to be pretty intrinsically rely on having two helpers a few times, thank god the daughter broke in #monsterdon

He turns the lock, loudly whispering the combination, so that Christina can hear him.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That was the most unemotional "Father" I've ever heard. You'd think there'd be a little relief.

even my cat's bored #monsterdon

Victorian Slimer contained.

Now what?

#Monsterdon 👻 #TheAsphyx1972

sometimes dead is better... #monsterdon
