For all the 1970s of his hairstyle, at least they shaved off his mutton chops.
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.
"If I tell you, you must promise to forget everything I've said."
And you call yourself a (mad) scientist.
The Death Muppet Containment Unit looks awfully fragile to trust with your eternal life #Monsterdon
He sure snaps at her a lot for a fiancee
@ramsey ๐
@wohali lol tbf I'm wearing headphones #monsterdon

Christina should *definitely* be lying to Giles.
Like the passive-aggressive insult to a director that "the cinematography was great."
Will immortal also mean unaging?
I'll just keep doing Victorian ghostbuster metaphors until they stop working.
Hey I have a brilliant idea. Let me tempt Death
C'mon, time for dinner. A little turkey, a little gravy, a little arsenic and a blue spotlight. And a floor show! #Monsterdon
This approach to immortality can sort of exist via science but god and religion are also real feels very 19th century.
did the woman who drowned serve any plot function #monsterdon
He splashed out on the Asphyx Suite, with a martini freshly prepared on top.
caution lady, is the killer guinea pig!
#monsterdon #theasphyx
The undead guinea pig likes her back; it found its way to her bed.
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?
Yโall keep talking about how boring the movie is, but these sets are so visually interesting! And the costumes arenโt bad either
@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.
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
sometimes dead is better... #monsterdon
@Taweret
Must be all the lead in the glass Victorians put that sh!t in EVERYTHING #Monsterdon
"We must cross the streams for him to survive!"
The soundtrack kinda makes me feel like Relm is gonna show up sometimes
@moira I think it was "Dr. Mรผtterโs Marvels" by Cristin OโKeefe Aptowicz
I've moved on to an AC/DC soundtrack for that Maximum Overdrive effect
Now playing: "Big Balls"
You had ONE JOB! The other booster.
that giant oak(ish) box with the glass apparatus sure looks light, they could have at least pretended to act
Oh, sealed letter. I remeber when we used it on mail, real mail
#monsterdon
#theasphyx
โIf I tell you, you must promise to forget everything Iโve saidโ ๐ #Monsterdon
IS it going to be all right? That was a lot of time having your brain cooked. :/
Honestly I would have hired some strong workmen to carry that thing down the stairs
I'm beginning to think Sir Hugo's planning skills are on a par with Elon Musk's #monsterdon
don't drop the box
Behold, Ulric von Lich-enstien #monsterdon
I have no clue what he's trying to do. Did it work? #monsterdon
He sure sealed the hell out of that letter, by gum!
โYouโre not telling me the truthโฆโ #Monsterdon
@Taweret they haven't even tried talking to them or even really look at them much after they capture it #monsterdon
At this point, I stopped caring about the experiment.
#Monsterdon
Did he just ask "are there enough death crystals?"
father what smells like burnt failure?
#monsterdon
I guess we know where Stephen King got his Green Mile idea from now
so now he gets to attempt to inhume himself, to test his newfound immortality?
well that was disturbing
#monsterdon
She quickly adapted to the situation where someone photographs a man getting electrocuted. Maybe this is a sociology experiment.
...So nobody needs to replace the water in that bulb or anything? #Monsterdon
It's an asphyx prison and a bong in one #monsterdon
You know you could move the coffin thing...right?
Wait, isn't this how The Flash got his speed back?
@moira It wasn't good at this point in time, but this history of plastic surgery starts around now (movie timeline). It's pretty fascinating, the original impetus was "middle class" victorian women who had to wear elaborate dresses but no longer had the big house staff (see: the rise of the middle class) and would light themselves on fire while doing things like cooking. I'm trying to remember the name of the interesting & gross book I read about this.
don't drop death! #monsterdon
The daughter just plain opens her father's bedroom door in the night. What if he and Giles had been going at it in there?
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
pretty cute to make the human-size asphyx jail shaped like a coffin #monsterdon
How many frames of death muppet did they film? Other than "not enough".
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
"Sorry 'bout all the brain damage, dad. But I've definitely got it!"
Asphyx wavin its hands in the air like it just don't care
lol, i mean, i was kidding. lololol
move the god damn box closer the asphyx always shows up sorta to the side of you, you could just spawn it directly in the box #monsterdon
I would have done the death experiment when my daughter was away
#monsterdon
"I've got to absorb your beam into mine!"
I bet she can't wait to marry that guy now
*slip* oops, sorry!
Don't trust Giles, Christina, he slapped you #monsterdon
What a horrible, disfiguring ... sunburn
#Monsterdon๐ง๐ก๐คตโโ๏ธ ๐ ๐ป ๐งด ๐ฑ
that was a slap, not a punch, dangit
What made him think an asphyx could be contained?
So, i wonder what he's gonna do with this new-found immortality?
This explanation from God seems very convenient, almost like He doesn't care. ๐ค
this is a kink now, right?
#monsterdon
I keep getting distracted imagining him painting that silly filigree on the light casing.
Damn it, Christina's found out. They were trying so hard to keep it from her.
Okay this movie actually got minorly exciting
Christina, you're going to have to put dad outside where you put the guinea pig #monsterdon
Wait... Is the Asphyx noise the sound of R2D2 getting shocked and flying across a room?
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
Fuck, guess not. Well, lye-face man gets a screaming death muppet I guess. They produced an electric chair pretty fast though!
I love you, guinea pig.
When you account for the widest possible margin of error, nature just makes a bigger error
Thank dog that asphyx case is soundproofed. Sheesh.
He could stop electrocuting himself at any time, so now we know he's just enjoying it.
This guy is the Forrest Gump of capital punishment devices.
This is a strange Two-Face origin story.
Inside our souls are all screaming like angry guinea pigs: this tracks
This movie really feels like a Twilight Zone episode stretch to technically movie length. We do get alot of those on Monsterdon.
