I just got to the part where the swamp monsters are revealed to be children and I'm cackling like a jackal right now #Monsterdon

trashbag monster mutant...children?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

Damn CREEPY children, if you ask me. #monsterdon

Feral Children okaaaay #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ man was the real monster all along

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Kids standing around like, "Director promise you back-end, too? Yeah, I don't buy it either." #Monsterdon

"The actor in the robot suit can barely walk. He keeps falling over. How the hell are we gonna make a movie like this?"
"Hang on I have a idea."
"It's a stupid idea isn't it."
And that's why the little chatty robot teleports.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

@Taweret just the cast's kids. #monsterdon

#monsterdon when you want to be Luke and R2 in the X-Wing but all you have is $49 and a Jeep on loan from the Army/Navy store

#Monsterdon "We represent the Ghillie Suit Guild, the Ghillie Suit Guild"

They don't need another hero, or the way home either.

They'll probably take them to Thunderdome.

#monsterdon

Well, I guess Dead Charlie doesn't smell.

#Monsterdon

no muppets?

:(

#monsterdon

What a twist 😑

#Monsterdon

Ladies and gentlemen the cast of "Village of the Damned" #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"...oh, you're not a truffle at all. You're just a kid."
<sad music>

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Jack Palance doesn't even need a low-rent lightsaber to see.

#monsterdon

She just so happens also to be there

#monsterdon

Maybe I'm just hallucinating because this part of the movie is so slow

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Wait, how long ago was the Great Robot war? Those kids are like, seven. #Monsterdon

music to get surrounded my muppets to

#monsterdon

HELL YEA THE MAIN CHARACTER IS BACK, THAT SICK SNARE AND CYMBAL BEAT

#Monsterdon

Well the music woke up from its nap. #monsterdon

Truffleoids, attack!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

The studio pitch document for this film contained the phrase "Leggy R2-D2." #Monsterdon

Why can't this robot detect the life signs right next to them? #monsterdon

This remake of Stalker sucks #monsterdon

Good idea to look for Charlie Montgomery inside one of the cupboards, Jason #monsterdon

@jonny Yes, I think you've got it

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

no one will be seated during the thrilling "walking in a field" sequence

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

oh, it's true love with a trash-bag-swamp-thing-mutant. oh kim. i didn't want to know.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

Also learn some breath control, Nikki.

#monsterdon

i think these People In The Woods are just a Friendly Tribe of Those Who Discovered The Army Surplus Store, i'm sure they're fine. #monsterdon

Bingo! We are a little bit ahead as my hubby has to be to bed early. #Monsterdon

im starting to think this doesn't have much to do with hg wells

#monsterdon don

space flute is back ✨🪈🕺🏾 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Kim and Jason, what a stretch.

the robot being able to teleport like 5 feet away so they wouldn't have to shoot loading and unloading him from stuff is the most boring teleportation ability you could do #monsterdon

Clonking in heels and slamming doors while hiding seems counterproductive. Maybe the robots are deaf?

#monsterdon

Did that barn-doors shot transition just make an audible "thunk"?!

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@Louisa@mastodon.xyz That they were sponsored by Jeep™?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

tbh probably just robots covered in mud #monsterdon

Can't he just hug the robot and teleport with him?

#monsterdon

Smart ass robot sees steam just BILLOWING out of the engine. Says "I detect an error in the H2O containment." No shit, Sherlock 1.0. #monsterdon

@blogdiva I've lost track of even where they're going and why

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@jonny You know, I would agree with you but then I think of every other #Monsterdon movie where something happened and...

Well yeah that's probably right

...Remember that one scene in MASH where Hawkeye is driving the jeep crazy and Radar's in the passenger seat going "WHEEEEEEE! WOOOOO!"

I was hearing Radar the whole time he was driving that jeep. #Monsterdon

What was the sped-up jeep driving sequence supposed to mean?

#Monsterdon

so in the fallout of the robot wars, muppets arose?

#monsterdon

no, she's not alone, she met someone. it's LOVE!
#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

@SnoopJ

A similar way we can communicate urgency and danger:

"We suggest intervention is appropriate. We suggest intervention is APPROPRIATE!

#Monsterdon

ARE THOSE MONSTERS? #monsterdon

That Jeep must have NOS!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Yeah, just knock and barge into some hermit/smuggler's shack with hostiles around. That's a good way to get shot.

#Monsterdon

Is the static in the sky on purpose? Is that supposed to be radioactivity? #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

this teleportation, it's because they couldn't actually get the robot to walk more than three feet before it tipped over, right? like, right? #monsterdon

@berniethewordsmith It is the Shape of Things to Come #monsterdon

tbh Sparks' teleportation is more plausible than R2D2 getting ... anywhere in Star Wars

#monsterdon

an entire world of cousin ITs

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

This jeep scene needs some Benny Hill music.

#Monsterdon

The robot is the character with the most personality, by far.

#Monsterdon

3km in just a minute or two? Kim is speedy. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Bait Jeep has broken down.
#Monsterdon

"Don't you worry about me, sparks" -me trying to impress my nephews with fireworks I bought in Pennsylvania #Monsterdon

@ricci is #monsterdon federated MST3K?

They're so unimpressed by the robot's built-in teleporter. #monsterdon

@jonny I would be up for more Jack Palance scene chewing at least #monsterdon

oh nope just a corpse #monsterdon

also i guess this older irradiated guy must have been already dying or something

That Jeep runs on one of those water engines that the government is keeping from us. #Monsterdon

@Taweret But there's a dead body, so... you know, must be ... I got nothing

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

The more they say “StarStreak”, the closer i get to writing the Starscream/Bluestreak fic the world needs. #monsterdon

Was that a furry tumbleweed?
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

this new fallout show is a little slow #monsterdon

"I'm going to send sparks to help you."

[keyboardist lands first]

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

The chemistry between Kim and Jason is that of two noble gases #monsterdon

@apLundell she heard a strange noise so she has to follow it into the woods as one does

#monsterdon

@Taweret In one of these options you get drugs

#Monsterdon

"Charlie is that you?" Yes, Charlie decided to dress as a leafy crab on a lark and hide behind a log. This is exactly the kind of thing he would do.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

No kicky flip on the communicators, lame. #Monsterdon

Turns out it wasn't Charlie in the forest It was Robo Charlie the assassin. Pew Pew Pew.

The End.

Roll credits.

#monsterdon

Sure, the wind is making some ominous noises, and the local fauna are giving it a creepy vibe, but -

ah there we go.

#monsterdon

@amyfou
This bugs me too. They try to make it look cool, but it should be the sign of a major malfunction.

#Monsterdon

So much for that chess rematch.

#Monsterdon

Well, charlie hasnt' been dead for long. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Is she just going to randomly wander around the entire nation of Canada until she finds Charlie? Is that her plan? #monsterdon

Sorry, Charlie.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

this is just what weekend road trips to Western Massachusetts are like. #Monsterdon

Dude, your cell doesn't have a roaming plan.
#Monsterdon

@Taweret I wish all we had in 2024 was this total devastation after the Great Robot War too #monsterdon

Great idea, ma'am, just walk out into the woods full of Slowly Pulsing Trashbag People, I'm sure nothing bad'll happen. On a completely unrelated note, I'm gonna turn the volume on my headphones way down. #Monsterdon

If the earth all sounds like these weird ass synthesized windchimes or whatever, I see why everyone fled. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

@smallsees "I will find a way to flip someone off if it takes me all night!"

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

potential monster time???? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I say we just nuke Jack Palance from orbit. It's the only way to be... oh nevermind.

They wanted a wasteland but Canada was too pretty in the fall. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Anyone going to start the generator or just keep uselessly flicking switches?

#monsterdon

earth seems perfectly fine

#monsterdon

"Estimated arrival, 600 hours."

Somehow I think the rest of the movie would be resolved one way or the other by then.

#Monsterdon

I feel like they could have done something more interesting with the contrast they have between the desaturated Earth colors and those super clean bright white Moon Uniforms.

But that'd be too interesting for this film, I think. After all, we've got more technobabble to get through :P #Monsterdon

Geez how do people live on Earth anymore with this wind?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome
