now watch this, it's gonna blow your mind, dude. (^_^) #monsterdon

Scientists flirting in the 70s. The peak of romance. Tea?
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Look, movie, I get it. You want to build up some tension. But spider webs in a woodland building are completely normal. No one is shocked or scared of them. And frankly, these don't look like they were made by GIANT spiders. #monsterdon

spider or old handbag? #Monsterdon

LMAOOOOO

#monsterdon

Before the Bechdel-Wallace test, all we had was the “is there an extended sequence of assuming a competent woman must actually be a man?” test. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Right now there’s a lady spider saying “guys let’s turn around” but she’s being ignored

@Infoseepage I don't like that image #StartsDrinkingSterno #Monsterdon

The Scientists Make Coffee/Tea with lab equipment joke is mandatory.

Even if the scientists in question are astronomers.

#monsterdon

Okay but actually it makes me really sad that by the time they were homaging old alien monster invasion movies, those misogyny jokes were still entirely valid.

#monsterdon #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Anyone else want the giant slide rule?

#monsterdon

Ah, they have a machine that goes Ding. Very much like the machines that go Ping, but the American version instead.

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Evacuate areas of high radiation? Nah. Let's have tea. #monsterdon

That's a CVS receipt. You're not fooling me.

#Monsterdon

Man, I can't get over how much better UI was before they decided everything needed to be touch screens

#Monsterdon

That guy is about to get so much salt in his tea #monsterdon

It's the Olivetti calculatron brainiac the size of a toaster oven

#monsterdon

@yatsu The computers are FAR more relatable and personable than the actors. #Monsterdon

Spoiler alert: it will turn out to be a strike by a foreign power, but way more foreign that these folks things

#monsterdon

Not that it matters but I don't believe a meteorite would have created a tremendous explosion.

#Monsterdon

my food delivery is gonna show up any minute. We've waited long enough for the spiders, tell 'em to filibuster a bit more #monsterdon

Dr Langer: As you can see, I cannot possibly do my research without more oscilloscopes.

#monsterdon

OH NO! I forgot My tea! 😭

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

Dr. Langer's looking really sharp in her very 70s pantsuit #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 @himbovoorhees YES!!!!!!! #Monsterdon

Ahhh, I see her bulk order from OscilloscopeMart is here.

#monsterdon

It looks like they rented my high school science classroom for this scene.

#Monsterdon

anybody get a look at that brand name? Actually wondering what piece of equipment it was.

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

oohhh the chunky keyboard on that printing thing

#monsterdon

The high tech in this, it hurts #monsterdon

Olivetti Logos 270.

#monsterdon

oh right there's supposed to be spiders not just drunk midwesterners #monsterdon

#monsterdon Spider webs are a nice touch. Not as meth-addled as some of the other movies where the spiders just do the same web over and over until it becomes a crocheted blanket of spider silk, so that's a nice touch.

#monsterdon no my brother is an interior decorator
GWORL what is with all the beautiful gay tropes I love this I am so here for it

@LingLass a threee hour tooourrrr #Monsterdon

Walking! Down hallways. Out on a sidewalk! Down wooden stairs!
Exciting! Spiders webs! Beakers and bunsen burners!
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

The original CVS receipt machine.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@himbovoorhees Perry Mason #monsterdon

Now these webs weren't as organized as the orb weavers' but it was still a nice check in with the silky activities. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 *gasp* a lady scientist??????????

Q: How anyone pine wood decor look like shit?

A: This is the 70s

#monsterdon

@lytta I say "kway-zar" (second syllable rhymes with "are") if I'm being precise, but in normal speech it wouldn't be kway-zee to use either way

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

mary this is mr vance from NASA, just to warn you. #monsterdon

I'm imagining the end of this movie ends up with the spider choking on oxygen, with the Sherriff looking at the camera and smirking, "Spiders, huh? Who knew?" #Monsterdon

I don't hate this building. It's kinda nice. But it might also be in contrast to Agent Fuckhead.

Excellent folio work on the walking up those stairs to the telescope room

Where do I know this actress from I recognize that husky vocal fry

#monsterdon

it's "kayzar" right. RIGHT?

#monsterdon

some of these camera angles are pretty interesting

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 hallway: the movie

My brother is also an interior decorator in OshKosh.

#Monsterdon

That powder blue blazer-bell bottoms combo is DYNAMITE #monsterdon

The sexist dude is named *Mr. Vance* :blobcheeky: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This fucking guy: okay not your brother? Do you have a nephew twice removed who might be a doctor? How about that guy I saw with the physical-plant workshirt on I saw on the way in?

You'd thing that gamma and xray readings in line with a nuclear explosion would warrent more reaction

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

Nah-Saw #Monsterdon

I think Vance is gonna wanna hear more about that interior decorator brother in Oshkosh #monsterdon

@Vanalope it wouldn't be #monsterdon without it!

Oh. Now misogyny schtick. On joy.
#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

"Oh no, my brother is gay. But keep digging yourself a deeper hole."

#monsterdon

Oh yes, this was right after Congress passed that law that allowed the wimminfolk to learn about kwazars

#monsterdon

@yatsu once you go plaid you never go ... ? #iLLgetBackToYou #Monsterdon

Your husband? Your brother? Your uncle? Your nephew? The guy that lives next-door? #Monsterdon

Government official is flummoxed by a female doctor.

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#Monsterdon

A lady doctor??!! What next? Alien spiders?

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to talk to you, and I'm afraid you're going to have to acknowledge the existence of a woman."

#monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion #ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

don't you disrespect Barbara fucking Hale like that. #monsterdon

A woman scientist! What a world!

#monsterdon
#TheGiantSpiderInvasion

Ugh. #monsterdon

"...you see, I'm a lady scientist"

Thanks to all you all who created/shared the giant spider hashtag!

#ᄽºὁȍ ‿ őὀºᄿ

Ahhhhh there's the classic misogyny.

#monsterdon

@diazona 😆#Monsterdon

Exposition science class #Monsterdon

This guy. Ol longjohns. He was a famous Hollywood vocal coach! Strange world

#Monsterdon

Pro tip movie writers: the title is "The Giant Spider Invasion". It literally tells you exactly what to put in the movie in the title. We did not come here for neutron stars. We came for GIANT SPIDERS INVADING

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

You know if you go to most planeterium shows nowadays, they just play a pre-recorded film. It's too bad, I really miss the retiree docents. #monsterdon

this guy can absolutely GET WRECKED. #monsterdon

Probably the first space monster movie where something falls on someone’s backyard and people don’t go check it immediately #monsterdon

To be clear, the bearded hillbilly is married to straight-haired Ev, and Ev's younger sister is the one with the curly hair. As loathsome as this guy is, he is NOT hitting on his daughter.
#monsterdon

Oh man. I've had dreams like this -- wandering an endless series of hallways that feel like someone's high school D: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon She teaches astronomy like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off... anyone anyone, Black Holes!

@msh The kids looked riveted! #Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

#monsterdon yas abnormal baddies stay winning

i feel like it's not actually pronounced "kwayzer"... is it actually pronounced "kwayzer"?

#monsterdon

The director felt it was very important to capture the climbing of many flights of stairs. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion1975 they're color coordinated at breakfast! green robe on her, green flannel on him <3

Okay, nevermind. That lecture went off the rails.

#Monsterdon #GiantSpiderInvasion

Sure, she has the theory of everything all worked out but she chose to roll with that sweater dress. #monsterdon

Was that a laser pointer? GEEZ, That thing was huge!

#monsterdon

Black holes weren't enough technobabble apparently, they have to get into the creation of the universe and galaxies and neutron stars....

#Monsterdon #TheGiantSpiderInvasion

@socketwench I currently live in Minnesota, and have lived in southern Wisconsin; I wholeheartedly agree with you. #Monsterdon

@amyfou Cool! So you get to celebrate Metamas and Astrokah, then?

#Monsterdon

"Let me show you my conception of the formation of the universe."

*turns on Star Wars* #Monsterdon

this planetarium sequence better go "there are also a kind of stars that are completely made of spiders" or else what is the point of this at all #monsterdon

Accurate quick overview of stellar stuff, but I'm bothered by them showing the Pleiades instead of an H-R diagram.
