#monsterdon hahahahahaha you can't blow up the dam to save the world from the Ice-9 stony triffid bois, that thing is _private property_

Would putting the rocks on rice work too?! 😆

#monsterdon

snore

#monsterdon

"You can't save everyone's lives, that would involve violating property rights!"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon "we could use your help, Miss!"
*Proceeds to give her zero relevant task*

Kids these days are already ready to #unionise

#monsterdon #themonolithmonsters

"Then we'll dynamite the dam." "Blow it up!?"

No, dynamite it! I was very specific! #Monsterdon

Oh hell yea are we gonna blow up a dam to end this movie?!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "our one chance is that maybe it's a combination of all the ingredients" that's... what ingredients means

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Kids, we've gotta take out this dam.

#Monsterdon why would the treatment to save the kid work to hurt the "monster"?

Humanity really is just a kind of salty potato chip filled with coffee when you think about it...

#monsterdon

@yatsu Easier to scale up a single ingredient? #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@ryan "salt water sloshing" Love those subtitles catching the *very subtle* difference in sound effects of unsalted water v. salt water! #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

The human bloodstream has the same salt level as the ocean. I think.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Surely there's no salt in that water it's pulling up out of the sand that once served as the ocean floor of an inland sea. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Ah ha! We just need more of this say-line, and we can stop these monoliths for good.

She's also an orphan so maybe that has something to do with it.

#monsterdon

So I guess none of the writers reazlied how much salt is in soil? #monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Wait did they just spend a whole night to recreate seawater? This plot has hit rock bottom

#Monsterdon

WHAT DID I SAY IN THE BEGINNING ABOUT SALT #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

#monsterdon holy shit was the throwaway comment about the salt flats and the ocean leaving the desert because it was silly- foreshadowing? I didn't think this movie had a foreshadowing budget...

#monsterdon

We love black rocks yes we do
We love black rocks what about you

Mmm, salty jello

#monsterdon

that doesnt look like it works the rock looks fine #Monsterdon

Or if it's just that rocks that grow in water are allergic to salt water I will scream.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

Like slugs! I'm melting! Melting!
#Monsterdon

rocks hate salt? but salt am rocks

#Monsterdon so… did he say it’s going to look like a petrified fart?

I would say that alien rocks that grow by drinking water is slightly more ridiculous than the wheel

#Monsterdon

When my dog is as hard as a piece of granite he actually needs some cold water.

#Monsterdon

Yeah wheels are useful but pretty ridiculous just like saline solution TBH #Monsterdon

I'm pretty sure they just grunted when the wheel was thought of.

#Monsterdon

All right! Kaiju rocks! Let's call out the military #monsterdon

Okay these giant crystals demolishing barns and houses, that's pretty cool.

#Monsterdon
#TheMonolithMonsters

dog if you had a rock hand you could totally just carve out joints and rig up your muscles to some exoskeletal wires and have the dopest mad max hands of all time #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Perhaps the missing ingredient is ... little girl juice?

Hey Ice9 would stop the rocks! Put ice9 everywhere!

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

"...we better get that lung in here."
"On it!"
"No! The iron lung!"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon Some very good models and practical effects for the monolith approach!

Reproduce the original effect first to be sure it works before you try and break it down to see if it was only part of the formula that was the key part of it working. Do better science sciencemen!
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

The rocks aren't gonna kill this kid... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “We could use some help!” Yeah, they were about to mix all the chemicals together.

Typical chemist:

Oh no. I've tried every one of these ingredients by itself, and not one of them works!

Perhaps it's a ... combination of them?

[anyone who's ever followed a recipe 👀 🙄 ]

Also I like the casual child labor #Monsterdon

You look tired.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon They need blood, you fools.

Maybe ya all shouldn't breathe in the dust from moisture multiplying rocks too, ya know...masks?

#monsterdon

where's marty mcfly when you nee... nah, honestly, we don't need him.

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

There'd be a lot more panic if everyone's internet went out

#monsterdon #themonolithmonsters

Man, I bet that ONE GUY who actually bought Giant Rock Tower Disaster insurance in this town is *REALLY* fucking smug right now. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Finally, someone is taking the dangers of Blackrock seriously!

She has nice teeth.

Wait, is he smoking the rocks?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Well, I guess the scope of the problem is now crystal clear.

#Monsterdon "Cyclogenesis" guys!

Are they in the desert, or are they not? That guy’s farm has a water table that rivals Florida. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I like that this menace doesn't seem to be intelligent.

Just your basic ecological catastrophe.

These rock VFX are so good

#Monsterdon

Wow, they really found a kid actor and gave them no lines.

#Monsterdon Little did they know that Superman’s Fortress of Solitude was to gentrify their small town.

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Hooray for miniatures work!

"Come down from your crystal fortress, oh Strong Bad." #Monsterdon

20 minutes to go and the third act is a bit light on motion still. What are they gonna do about these rocks?

I'm predicting some kind of Clever Geology fix that comes at the last moment.

#Monsterdon

cool rock effects 10/10 #monsterdon
