Was... was this whole movie about defunding school lunch programs
i think that there is still the little problem of like the source of that spring of giant-making goo and the fact that you apparently never told anyone about it #monsterdon
Viking funeral for rats
has there ever been a less effective "boss enemy" than the white mouse #monsterdon
Iβm not sure why I expected better of this movie. I saw the poster beforehand. I had fair warning.
why are they football players again? why did they come back to this island? i am missing some basics on "what is going on" #monsterdon
Goo that makes animals bigβ¦ Iβve seen this somewhereβ¦
setting up a miniature house with all the little hidden spots where you can put peanut butter so you can make a whole railing of mice hanging and eating would be so fun #monsterdon
God these people are annoying. #Monsterdon
"I want you to make love to me."
She's been staring at rats with giant testicles all day, it's starting to get to her. #Monsterdon
wait
We're all on the same page about pregnant Rita about to give birth to Yeti, the Giant of the 20th Century, right?
Is this the only giant creature movie that takes into account the square-cubed law? #monsterdon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%E2%80%93cube_law
Capitalism degrades a man so he's scooping up buckets of cum in the Canadian forest...
"We could plow right through them"
Yeah, it's not like ramming a midcentury sedan into a thousand-pound animal ever hurt anybody. #Monsterdon
The miniatures are so cute, I hope someone still has them somewhere
Why isn't anyone using their giant lapels to defend themselves
Yeah when you're trying to get one person out of a hole, definitely start by adding a second person to the hole
XD XD XD
Oh my god, the wasps were storing firecrackers in the attic! XD #Monsterdon
Make sure to put all 46 shells in that shotgun
#monsterdon The ferry again. This movie loves that ferry. Perhaps because so many navigation apps all come with a default to "Avoid Ferries" and it makes the spirit of the Ferry sad. So this movie is here to make up for that.
Oh god, the romance subplot is starting -_-
I think I preferred the wasps -_-; #Monsterdon
I feel like a bad lord is behind this one
We PAID for this ferry footage, bro, we are going to USE it. #monsterdon
"When we figured out it wasn't oil, we fed it to our chickens"
OH GOD IT *IS* THE STUFF #Monsterdon
Mr Skinner: βTurns out that the food of the gods is just steamed hams.β
He got a flat tire in the rain. Maybe there is a castle nearby that will let him use their phone.
#monsterdon I spotted a JJ Abrams Lens Flare. This movie is in the Kelvin-verse.
this movie rules
The amount of plaid fleece in this movie is _off_ the _charts_.
...So our protagonists just left the film? Is the jesus lady with the giant rats our protagonist now? #Monsterdon
THE COLONEL HAS HIS REVENGE #Monsterdon
Did he just choke his chicken
XD XD XD XD
so how much you think a stagehand got paid to peck Marjoe Gortner with a three-foot plastic chicken head? #Monsterdon
Oh good this guys sweater looks pre-bloodied
I think the captions just said βMen chirrupingβ #Monsterdon
"My dad said, kid, I'm gonna send you out into the wilds and hope you die." #Monsterdon
Itβs a real βtell donβt showβ opening to this one. #Monsterdon
βBen the two of us need look no more.β Gah! Sang this in chorus back in 76. Thanks, FOTG. Now this tune is stuck in my head. #Monsterdon
the least realistic part of this encounter is that the professor would actually be interacting with the research animals #monsterdon
Well that was classic monsterdon fare, though I do feel slightly dirty from all those jars of....'substance'
Marjoe on form as ever!
Yes, thanks, voiceover, we understand the looming peril
I'm still somewhat concerned that we had a rock that was oozing the "food of the gods" and its still there. Like where did the stuff come from in the first place?
Oh wait, and the movie echoed my concerns by showing some jars of the rock cum floating down a stream so we can get more giant animals that eat people.
I hope they're burning all the puppets so they can't make a sequel to this movie, he says, knowing that there is a sequel to this movie
This is REAL #Monsterdon: *enforced* fucking off into the sea. #Monsterdon
I've seen better water effects from the SNES. >_> #Monsterdon
the shots of rats hanging on the cabin are extremely silly lol
once again, threat level ZERO
Y'know, for rats, every house is a gingerbread house. #Monsterdon
I hope I don't die in a turtleneck
This is Maximum Overdrive
I'm marking "appropriate horniness" on my bingo card ironically
We are now in a siege situation, but the rats, wise in the ways of siege warfare, decided to cut the puny humans water supply by nibbling on it.
The humans are storing their remaining water and making bombs or something.
Ladies and Gentlepeople...I present the Rat Pack
The rats have a LEADER???????
that football team is gonna have to retire _so many numbers_
The effects are the most special
but you could be right
i may be crazy
but you just might be the lunatic we're looking for
Food of the Gods causes animals to become killer megafauna and sprouted from the ground and kind of looks like hair conditioner
The Stuff is a highly addictive ooze that is also turns you evil, also comes out of the ground and sold as an ice cream/frozen yogurt dessert, iirc people also kind of explode/implode eventually
The goop from Swamp Thing is green and was made by science somehow and turns people into monsters based on their personalities including Swamp Thing and Truffle Pig man, but you can't pick
missed #monsterdon so I'm off to find something else to watch this evening before bed, it's a school night after all*.
* - Aside: I mean, I work for a school (OK, university). I just don't do anything related to academia.
you could fit like 10 wasps inside that thing, the wasps are like 100x their original size #monsterdon
So I donβt know if youβre familiar with the phrase βDonβt poke the hornets nestββ¦ #Monsterdon
This was actually a stealth training film about Canadian tort law. #monsterdon
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
They could at least have hired an evil guy who didn't slur his words
#monsterdon
"If we're still here when you come back, can you pick us up?"
"I think you'd better come with us now."
"We'll be OK, we'll stay inside the bus."
The bus: _lists at about a 20Β° angle off horizontal_
yep good plan
if we didn't feed weird shit to farm animals we could have avoided that whole 'mad cow disease' thing....we mock this film, but...
@CactuarJoe We rented the whole ferry, we're gonna use the whole ferry!
I hope they go on the ferry another twelve times, it's literally the best cinematography in the whole damn film. #Monsterdon
Are these going to be Checkov's peaches?
So far in this movie we have only seen one effective defense against the giant animals, which is "pitchfork". If you don't got a pitchfork when animals attack, you die.
@floatybirb @klu9 It is slightly different, actually (nothing to do with snow) & unfortunately I am a dual citizen who currently lives in the US so I have to apologize to myself.
Honey, I Shrunk The Canada! π π¨π¦
Did the ROUS eat the FOTG?
I wonder if we could really mega-size a rat if it ate the FOTG and got struck by lightning at the same time. #Monsterdon
Directed by Big Insect Gordon #Monsterdon
@ricci fighting a giant pecker like that is most certainly someone's kink
@moira Are you sure that chicken wasn't just flirting with the protagonist
THRILL! To the stimulating FERRY CROSSING SCENE!
I like how this movie wasted no time with explaining what's going on. The main bro knows its the cursed food instantly. Also, the hat gal wants to export the food to her contact at a department store, which will presumably lead to more giant animals.
Lord-based science. Thank God it works!
We are two giant animals and one discussion about chicken feed into this movie
"This is the way it comes to us from the Lord"
Okay, Jesus wants you to get eaten by giant chickens, nice. #Monsterdon
Bad prop? Don't worry! Here at Out of Focus, we have you covered!
Ask about our shaky cam discount!
I dunno, man. Those orange gloves are super suspicious. Did they show us the murderer in the first 5 minutes?
Whoa monster in the first frame (since this is a movie about giant animals the MGM lion is canonically one of them, right?)
dude if you were really a grad student, you'd realize that RAMEN is the food of the gods...
@ryan I canβt. The first serving of βThe Food of the Godsβ ruined my appetite.
@floatybirb Or the sequel that they did make for this movie.
Give me some 200-foot-tall cows and a flood scene with a million gallons of fresh milk!
I award The Food of the Gods 2 out of 5 giant growling rats, because I'm rounding down from 2.49.
Capitalism tried to be the real monster in this movie, but it was neutralized by Jock powers and then overshadowed by the giant angry rats.
See you next week, nerds
#monsterdon
thanks #Monsterdon 'nother Marjoe flick crossed off, peace y'all, till the next one βοΈ
Well, that was a movie! Having known nothing about this movie before going into it, I assumed the food would be something more sinister, like soylent green.
Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for the theme drink, @ryan for the stream, and to all of you for making it awesome!
@brooke yeah they actually went over that and everything
it's bullshit but they did cover it
