@TerryHancock @msh @Taweret yeah the knife really didn't make much sense if he wasn't planning on doing some kind of harm to the plant, but then why jump in
here he is girls the leader of the plaque
#Monsterdon
@forestine There is no way I can attend those, it's too early at night on a week night for me π
@SnoopJ Hmm yeah that's a good point... I'm not all that familiar with stage productions in general and I definitely hadn't thought about how it would or wouldn't work from different locations in the theater
hehehee rump chomp
#Monsterdon
The writing, directing, casting, acting, and cinematography for Little Shop (80s theatrical musical) is ridiculously good.
Glad to have been here for #monsterdon after missing last week - thanks @Taweret for putting this on the poll
i'm hanging out for the musical but now that the main event's over good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^
Bucket of Blood is a good companion piece to Little Shop of Horrors, except for the bit with the cat. #Monsterdon
@Lazarou Cozy!!

Anyway in one of the adaptations Audrey II takes over the world at the end, and honestly I think more #Monsterdon movies should end that way.
@Lazarou In some states they would employ it for their prison system as a cost-saving measure #monsterdon
uh oh he makes good money though Mr Mushnik!
#Monsterdon
Fewer flower shop signs in the 80s
i kind of like the idea that baby audrey II is using her hypnosis powers to bring people in
@kb9ens "Mondays..." #Monsterdon
@phaedral Oh it's beat all right. Like a dead horse. #Monsterdon
Rick Moranis is really amazing.
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
What a barrage of trivia for this one π¬!
β€οΈ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this quirky classic.
π ±οΈ and thanks Cherizilla@mastodon.social for the Bingo card! "Gif appears in Monsterdon feed" is absolute genius.
π¦And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: We have to analyze the classics to more deeply appreciate modern themes. Or eat extra gummies. Either is fine. Enjoyed your commentary as always!
So cheesy. But a classic #Monsterdon abrupt ending. And I have a new respect for the musical π. Thanks, @Taweret and co, for the diversion.
@Lazarou It was an inspiration to generations of producers #monsterdon
Classic #Monsterdon shenanigans: bad decisions, very little makes sense, and a sudden ending. Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!
@jonny Do you mean the 80s musical film theatrical release, the unrecut 80s musical film version,, the off-broadway musical, the Broadway revival or the off-broadway revival revival?
Wow it really ends quite abruptly
I liked it! It makes more sense than a lot of movies we watch here. Some good jokes! Thanks @Taweret
As usual and everyone who joined. Happy
#monsterdon ! And remember, donβt feed humans to plants
I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
I'm shocked Audrey or Mom or Mushnick aren't eaten.
And the plant doesn't spread. Yeah, the kaiju ending of the '86 movie is insane, but Audrey Jrs spreading everywhere is funnier.
But as a story, this was a little more coherent than the remake, which goes off on LONG digressions.
Typical #monsterdon ending
Itβs kind of lovely choreography during the chase #Monsterdon
Seymour is all like "you wanna feed feed on THIS"
And promptly gave the Ultimate Meal
THE END
Well life as the Inspector Gadget of serial killing was just too much to handle I guess I dunno. Appropriately abrupt #Monsterdon ending too even though a cop didn't get eaten
Thanks for another wonderfully awful one @Taweret
"I didn't mean it"
Thus ends another #monsterdon
I'm not sure I have a lot to say about this one. Clearly quickly made, with super low budget, felt more like a series of skits than a movie, and I'm not sure how the ending was supposed to land, but it didn't work for me.
Regardless, thank you everyone for tooting along. And as always, thank you @Taweret for hosting.
@miru did you set it up to autoroll into the musical?
@ohiofi Little shop of SKIBIDI. #Monsterdon
@Taweret I thought it had a lot of good moments in it, and i can see how some twisted fucks turned it around into a delightful musical ;)
but without the remake... would we remember this movie? :D
So the protagonist fucked off into the plant for sudden ending. Thanks for the trip down memory lane @Taweret and the #monsterdon gang!
Thanks, @Cherizilla.
The moral of the story is that you can get away with capital murder if you're a plant #monsterdon
in retrospect, I guess it's good I went the veg route for dinner tonight π₯΄
That was a seriously abrupt ending. Epic #monsterdon
Good times at the old #monsterdon
Had to wait until the end to get it #Bingo
I THOUGHT that was Dick Miller!
Climbing into the plant with a knife? What?
but he WAS in a toilet, a toilet of his own design #Monsterdon
@allanb don't throw rocks randomly
unless you need some human flesh for your plant I guess
Ah, the classic "ran out of time" ending
What could possibly go wrong, walking into a man trap? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors1960
Yeah, that was a different ending. Audrey Jr. didn't get knifed after all? Lordy.
THE END.
Not much on the bingo card tonight either but I did eke out a bingo.
#Monsterdon *mind blown* haha nice
ok that was good fun everybody
now
if you *haven't* see the musical version, you should rememdy that RIGHT NOW
"I didn't mean it!"
...Okay. I guess? #Monsterdon
This is how I expect to go out...after the melon plants in my front lawn finally get a hold of me.
@Lazarou Corman just got tired of continuing #monsterdon
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #LittleShopOfHorrors, from 1960, was another Roger Corman film. This time we had a carnivorous plant that was always hangry. This showcase of reverse veganism also provided,

That pile of very large tires looks SO COOL as a kid I'dve LOVED to climb around in there :blobaww: #Monsterdon
Ok, the plant hypnosis was unreasonably funny! π
The famous toilet shot! #Monsterdon
are we allowed to flush this movie?
The Boulevard of Broken Toilets #monsterdon
Signs of Monsterdon: We cut and thread pipe.
π¦#MONSTERDON ποΈ
πΈ Low Budget Film School π·
Save on vehicles!
The hearse and coffin were donated by a funeral home. So was the corpse inside.
"we cut thread and pipe" vs "we cut, thread, and pipe" WHICH IS IT
More films should have junkyard tire chases. #Monsterdon
Eh it's a little weak but I'll declare bingo
Cars had huge wheels back in 1960.
I am supposed to find this chase scene exciting, but I'm not keeping up my end of the bargain #monsterdon
don't you just want to go plant shit?
@CactuarJoe and a plant.
Script: $10
Actors: $25
Extras: $0.05 ea.
Special effects: $5
Set: $30
I don't need anyone to help me budget this, I'm not spending anything on this movie
How do those pigs run so fast on their flat feet?
#ACAB #monsterdon
Digested corpses in your flowers certainly makes a Rose Bowl float stand out
Why? Why all the running urchins?
Feral Subway Children! #Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors

What is the moral of this story?
"NO"
TRESPASSING
Is she the only sex worker in town? #monsterdon
The plant solved the case
#monsterdon
keep expecting some three stooges sound effects in this chase scene π₯΄
#monsterdon
@Lazarou Iβm sure theyβll hold up in court. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon oh nice, that's an interesting twist vs the more familiar to me musical storyline :D
The percussionist returns, refreshed #monsterdon
i love that mom was a flapper and still wears the same shit
In the morning, a horde of botanical fangirls have gathered outside of the shop to give seymour an award and shower him with glory. The mom is there because her son is getting an award, and the cops are here because they think there are murders (they are right but probably also wrong).
Does Audrey II vomit out the bones or digest them as well?
#Monsterdon π₯¬ πͺ π§ π±
is that mom dressed as a flapper? It's really hard to tell who's who
@Taweret Watch out for the abrupt ending⦠#Monsterdon
The short film withing a film of a woman stalking Seymor like Wile E Coyote stalking the roadrunner is so dumb I love it.
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors
Whoβs the young Stockard Channing type? Leonora Clyde? #monsterdon
#monsterdon Flip a coin, I don't have a coin. Flips A ROCK and knocks her out... DRUGS.
Cops being useless, on point
#monsterdon
Cause trophies make you a botanist π #Monsterdon
why is there even this cop narration framing device
And that, boys and girls, is why you never flip a rock!
#monsterdon "wet or dry"? hummunah!
#Monsterdon Why was he allowed to keep making films?
tuboni
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon sorry seymore girls don't like to be treated like a piece of meat (*exceptions apply)
"She better have a dick...."
#monsterdon Wonder what Clyde's real voice is like?
what is even going on right now
