#Monsterdon feels like a bechdel pass :D

@gnomon The Lymedel test? #monsterdon

/me taking notes on how normal people make friends

I may live to regret this....

#Monsterdon

Stop having good shot composition movie! I'm supposed to be enjoying a bad movie.
#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

Oh no, Bobbie is adorable, rip #monsterdon

I think that conversation in the field made this a Bechdel pass!!! #monsterdon #thestepfordwives1975

Flying through Bechdel with flying colours now, interview or none.

Starting to feel like an Altman film with the overlapping dialogue!

#monsterdon

Ominous Walter is ominous #monsterdon

I like Bobbie already. She has moxie!

#Monsterdon

"Given the absolute freedom of choice, I don't wanna squeeze the goddamn Charmin."

Oh I love her already :D #Monsterdon

Walter: I really love you!
Ron Howard: He didn't.
#monsterdon

Confession: I made it to #monsterdon time this time last night which was Sunday for me, but it was not Sunday for the organizers, so I watched it last night. I'm still gonna follow the comments though and chime in without spoilers.

The husband has learned things... Things that are making him feel man feelings.
Wait has his dumb ass made a figurative deal with the devil on accident and now has regrets but isn't explaining them to his wife?
That's worse than if he planned this all from the start.
#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

oh wow, is this guy actually NOT a jerk? i'm lowkey surprised. #monsterdon

The glimmer in his eyes as he's looking at her, Now That's What I Call Cinematography

#Monsterdon

This scene hits harder on not your first watch-through.

#monsterdon

I get real abuser vibes from him...

#Monsterdon

Me at work next year: "Did everything go okay at the initiation?"

#Monsterdon

"I wasn't let in on any ominous secrets at the meeting"

#monsterdon

Those are tears in his eyes, right? #monsterdon

walter is just withering in horny prison in front of the fire waiting for it to be time to fuck #monsterdon

@nev I'm seeing ads for private ambulances in the late 60s in CT, e.g. https://clickamericana.com/topics/culture-and-lifestyle/cars-trucks/vintage-ambulance-emergency-medical-services

And here's a post confirming Fairfield, CT had police-run ambulances in 1970. Not sure the cutover date but you're right, it wouldn't have been that out of date!

#monsterdon

@nev It looked like that.

#Monsterdon

Unrealistic suburbs… not a single SUV or Minivan in sight!!! /sarcasm

#monsterdon #thestepfordwives

white people knew what avocadoes were in the 70s?

#monsterdon

He's a Stepford bear, he's in the Homeowner's Association. #Monsterdon

That Teddy bear needs more AI in it.

#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives1975

Teddy bear gaslighting.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤵 👰 💍 😱 🤵 🤖 😬

Teddy is right and he only talks to his little girl don't even try it mom

@allanb

To the Soylent Green factory

#Monsterdon

Mommy, don’t gaslight your daughter #monsterdon

I'm still counting this as two women talking about a man btw #monsterdon #thestepfordwives1975

#Monsterdon they gotta melt her down and re-manufacture her after even minor damage

Wow grocery delivery right to the vehicles and staff directing the land yachts into and out of the parking lot 1970s suburbia in America was wild #Monsterdon

well I hope nothing mysterious happens to the woman who was taken to the not-hospital

#monsterdon

Crack up on aisle Tubi. #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Huh, yeah maybe 🤷 It might depend on what kind of grocery store it is... the place I usually go is a little on the fancier side

#Monsterdon

Apparently when people have short-term memory problems, they do repeat themselves like that. It's either creepy or really funny depending on how serious the problem is.

#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

Just me ogling the Corvette Stingray in the grocery parking lot

#monsterdon #TheStepfordWives1975

"In the paaah-king lot! I can see it in the pah-king lot!"
#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

This is all so silly! #monsterdon

yeah, get an ambulance, her hair has obviously been put out of place. #monsterdon

Back when health insurance wasn't using AI...
#monsterdon

the pahking lot

#Monsterdon

Ah the 70s, when the station wagon was king! #Monsterdon

ambulance lol
#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai That at least is still pretty normal

#Monsterdon

Only sad, beige moms allowed in this grocery store #Monsterdon

Wow, that is a quite a list of big decisions he's not consulting her on. And I wouldn't blame her if she killed him and buried him int he garden at this point. And we're only 20 min into the movie...

#Monsterdon

whiplash!
#monsterdon

Huh, separate cashier and bagger

#monsterdon

Ahhhh yes, writing checks at the grocery store. The "good ol' days".

#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

so she just listed a lot of red flag behavior there

#monsterdon

I think I maybe rooting against the monster this time (unless a yeti shows up which I doubt but I haven't seen this movie)
#monsterdon

We both agreed we should move.

Did we though?

And all the kids in suit and tie.
:blobcateyes:
#Monsterdon

All this gropey feely stuff even in Stepford they cannot escape 1970s Peak Mojo #Monsterdon

I mean…………why *wouldn't* the Men's Association be men only

#Monsterdon

The MENS' association.

#Monsterdon #StepfordWives

The men's association IS an honor to join.

#Monsterdon

Sanka *gag*
#Monsterdon

oh so it's a cult right
#monsterdon

The men’s association 🚩🚩🚩🚩 #monsterdon

Sanka. 😭

#monsterdon #TheStepfordWives1975

Seems like a lot of product placement for the 70s.

#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

Hey, he does the dishes at least. I'm gonna be disappointed if he turns out to be in search of a robowife. #Monsterdon

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight on the lawn?
#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

her dude is a creep lol
#monsterdon
#TheStepfordWives1975

WALTER! #monsterdon #thestepfordwives

I bet the police car is a robot

#Monsterdon

okay, apparently what she's gonna miss about NY is the ability to spy on people's sex lives without having to leave the house. #monsterdon

She wears pants.
And hoop earrings.
The horror.

Carol gives a casserole.
And yes, the patchwork apron...creepy.

#monsterdon

No, to be fair I would also go out of my mind in this setting. #Monsterdon

ok i lied we are also watching for costumes because that pink top for cutting shrubberies in fucks for sure #monsterdon

Yeah, the sirens, the shouting, the distant cries of a drunk throwing up at six am... #Monsterdon

"An ambulance! Thank fuck, some action!"

#monsterdon #TheStepfordWives1975

Her husband just suggested having sex with her in front of the fire, and this is her face. This marriage is not so great. #monsterdon

*Angry Chickadee Noises* #monsterdon #thestepfordwives

Is that a chickadee I hear??? Help

#Monsterdon #birdeing #birding

#Monsterdon

Never wear that t shirt again.

Coffee *and* powdered creamer!

#Monsterdon #StepfordWives

I keep expecting Columbo to show up.

#Monsterdon #TheStepfordWives

Yikes! School bus! Terrifying! #monsterdon #thestepfordwives

School bus or school of pirhanas? #Monsterdon

I know this movie is The Stepford Wives, but not gonna lie, that looks like an entire bus full of Children Of The Corn right there.

#Monsterdon

@sealawyer In movie suburbs yes... in real-life suburbs it's a bit of a lost art

#Monsterdon

the real horror would be finding out exactly how much they paid for that house

#Monsterdon

Lol shit, asking why did we move before you finished unpacking the boxes?

#monsterdon #StepfordWives1975

#Monsterdon Guys bragging about wives like they do their cars. Fun.

"she cooks as good as she looks" is an extremely weird thing to say to another man about his wife. was that normal in the 70s tho? (seems plausible)

#monsterdon

he ends up burning down the house by farting while warming his ass in front of the live fire

#monsterdon #TheStepfordWives1975

Well that was a creepy exchange with your new neighbor. #Monsterdon

doll decoration on the coffee table #monsterdon

(i'm not even kidding, we'd met our neighbors about twice when they older lady came by to give us homemade egg rolls. it's one of (possibly the only) good thing about living here. #monsterdon

@Cherizilla I was thinking something along the lines of "'Real' 😉 Housewives of America" but that's probably better

#Monsterdon

So does the dog live? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon two men talking about a woman in an objectifying way is like the opposite of the bechdel test

That scruffy little JR terrier better not get got #monsterdon

#monsterdon if anything happens to this dog so fucking help me

A town of republicans ... time to move out

#monsterdon
