Old dude poked the meteorite with a stick, as opposed to putting the thing right in his mouth, indicating that he was leagues ahead of the guy at the beginning of The Stuff.
Unfortunately, this still does not save him!
Also, I think we just got Scream, and Flee in Terror.
PROTECT THE PUPPER! #Monsterdon
Is that the cabin from Evil Dead?
every monster movie should have a theme song
BEHOLD #Monsterdon
Vanilla bean panna cotta with strawberry jam
GO! GO! GO! #Monsterdon
when i played The Blob theme for @somethingeloquent he said "Wait, it leaps?" i didn't really see it leap, did anybody see it leap? it kinda just slowly oozed. #Monsterdon
The Stuff had too many ideas for its own good. it was full of social commentary it wanted to make and scifi ideas is wanted to play with and things it wanted to parody and it didn't have time to develop them all properly
It would have been nice if the Blob had some ideas to explore tho
@Zander
Now that wasn't so hard was it?
Listen this Schroedingers dog stuff isn't funny! ... oh you know?! well, then, OKAY!! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon #TheBlob It's a shame they didn't do stingers back then, I'm imagining that one old guy finally dressed, bursting out of the front door at the end with a stack of hats like the one from TF2.
@bk1e Or if you go "Moopsy!" every time it blobbed something #monsterdon
@Taweret Humanity survives by tricking The Blob and The Stuff into trying to eat each other. They reach a sustainable rate of mutual consumption, the world's most disgusting Oroboros. #Monsterdon
Also, I think this was a Bechdel fail. Jane and her worried mom didn't have a moment at the end and I felt cheated #monsterdon
Sorry, but the dog didn't die. The 'kids' saw it down the street. Also, can I say this was my very first #monsterdon ?
@misc I don't think there were enough scenes with the blob in it to train an object tracker lmao #monsterdon
the Stuff is better
like the Stuff is a mess of a film but its way more fun
also things happen in it
"But at least we've got it stopped!"
"Yeah, as long as the Arctic stays cold"
[Again, folks, that's what they call "foreshadowing"]
Bummer, I was hoping for a reprise of the opening theme. That was the best part of the whole film. #Monsterdon
Well it we ship it to the Antarctic it can have a stand off with The Thing.
Jello vs Carrot!
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon βAs long as the Arctic stays cold.β Last line scarier then the entire rest of the movie combined.
well it fucked off into a matte painting of the frozen ocean, so i think that's close enough. #monsterdon
"As long as the arctic stays cold" They're gonna need a bigger ? there. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
"As long as the arctic stays cold" Oh no...
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
is that it? is that the movie? fire extinguishers? that's it?
@SnoopJ I wanted to see an entire cave filled with Blob, the way they did it in The Stuff #monsterdon
"Take it up to the Arctic, where it will never thaw out!" Yeah, about that...
#Monsterdon #TheBlob1958
It killed HOW MANY people while we were watching Steve fuck around uselessly!? #monsterdon #TheBlob
wait no there seems to be a miscommunication about "cold" vs "CO2" we might have a whole additional movie on our hands #monsterdon
#Monsterdon OK, βKill it with coldβ is indeed a new one.
Dave's not here man. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
we are officially in "how on earth are they going to end this movie in 6 minutes" territory #Monsterdon #AbruptWhatTheFuck
Monstrous Trivia:
The actual Blob prop *still exists* in its original 5 gallon pail - and has not dried out. It has been displayed at the Phoenixville, PA Blobfest.
"Don't worry guys, the asbestos will protect us from the fire." #monsterdon
[speaking italian frustratedly]
Ooh that mat painting being filled with angry red jello shot is short but great.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
Is that why the blob has been politely turning off the lights as it goes? Electricity? #Monsterdon
"...have you tried dropping a power line on it?"
"a what?"
"The most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life!" Look, my grandmother's cranberry casserole isn't THAT bad. #monsterdon #theblob
This movie has been jammed.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
"It's the most horrible thing I've seen in my life." C'mon, the movie isn't that bad. #Monsterdon
the internationalists, globalist looking projector man just got blobbed too.
the Red blob will gobble up anything and anybody in sight
They're watching The Tingler! #Monsterdon
if they remake this movie again they should have tom hanks play the doubting sergeant
#Monsterdon βWhere is my Civil Defense Helmet? - What am I gonna wear?β I chuckled. Slightly.
"that's an air raid!" You don't have tornadoes?
"Where is my Civil Defense helmet?" #Monsterdon
pesky kids trying to wake up the town to their collective #MeToo trauma
@blogdiva well, sorta? we narrowed it down to not this? #JustGuessing #Monsterdon
hey! he's smoking! #monsterdon
I HAVE BINGO! #Monsterdon
Yes lure the cops into a blob trap, good plan #monsterdon #TheBlob
"tell it to them straight!"
"but we've already established that the situation is queer!"
this movie gets SO quiet at times for NO reason and then they kinda remember they have to play music or something lmfao
I can't believe the blob prioritized eating a small dog over the cops. Unforgivable sin
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
@joewynne And neither does this movie! #monsterdon
@Taweret No smoking? No Coffee! We're in uncharted territory here. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
You people complaining about bloblessness of this movie don't know nuthin about suspense!
#monsterdon "oh, I know I'm terrified for my life right now, but I can't help getting lost in your eyes"
THE DOG???? DONT DO THIS TO ME THE BLOB
#monsterdon the blob is really jamming them up
THE DOG IS FINE! Take back everything negative I've said about the movie
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
imagine if a godzilla movie was just 80% a guy running around explaining to people that godzilla existed
These cops could really use some coffee.
Wait, so there's all this blobbing going on and WE'RE NOT SEEING IT!? #monsterdon #TheBlob
"queerest thing i've ever seen"
Nice Forbidden Planet poster. Stop teasing better movies in your B movie guys.
Also damn those pointy 50s bras. Such a weird fashion trend.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
"We're gonna Scooby Doo this shit!" #Monsterdon
They got the Scooby Gang together now. #Monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon Wow, theyβve managed to gather an anti-Blob mob.
Eighty cents?! Hot dog! #Monsterdon
Ooo, Forbidden Planet poster! #monsterdon #TheBlob
Oh hey! The folks in the movie are doing Monsterdon too!
This is not great material, screenwriting wise, but gee, Steve McQueen is...also not elevating it in any way whatsoever... #Monsterdon
βhow do you get people to protect themselves from something they donβt believe inβ hits a little different in the COVID era #monsterdon
Guys we don't need a recap, we've only had like two or three actual plot points so far. #Monsterdon
Waiting for the blob to blob someone in the blob #Monsterdon
@randy_s And they're wearing suits at 1:00 am! #monsterdon
The kid needed to be wiggling his finger and saying "REDRUM!"
Did somebody dub a grownup pretending to be a kid onto Little Brother here? Because that did _not_ sound like a normal child's voice. o.O #Monsterdon
(Oh NOW there's an actual kid. Who is also acting way younger than his age.) #monsterdon #TheBlob
#Monsterdon FUCK I forgot about the dog!!!!
NYT Review of The Blob (1958):
"The acting is pretty terrible itself, there is not a single becomingly familiar face in the cast, headed by young Steven McQueen and Aneta Corseaut."
if that sweet little pup gets blobbed, this terrible child needs to go too #monsterdon
How old is the actor playing that child? I'm betting he's in college.
#Monsterdon #TheBlob
"I'm not going to throw them into a cell like a couple of vagrants!"
blinks
blinks some more
SEVENTEEN! he's supposed to be seventeen! it's easier to believe there's a blob monster than that. #Monsterdon
No one knows what the kids are up to because they aren't in this movie. #monsterdon #TheBlob
snitches get stitches, kid #monsterdon
@blogdiva
I'm staying out of your way tonight, Liza. You are loaded for bear.π
Cop doesn't need foundation, he needs filling spackle. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon βWhy didnβt you book the kids?β What, because thereβs so much lack of evidence of anything happening at all?
i srsly can't get over how old mcqueen looks. like. damn
By the morning, this could be all over town!
[Folk - this is what they call "foreshadowing"]
there IS a deadly space monster on the loose but i DONβT want you to alarm our parents #monsterdon
I do not like this housekeeper #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon βCanβt I just dust around the fingerprints?β Ok, actually funny.
"Can't I just dust *around* the fingerprints?" #Monsterdon
