Okay these two do have some good chemistry :D #Monsterdon

Michael Moriarty with blondish red hair looks weird.

OMG, Danny Aiello has hair in this movie. is it his or hair piece... that's the question 🤔

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I lost internet connection for a little bit. A summary of events:

Viewpoint Kid has a family, including Angry Dad, Commercial Mom and Annoying Older Brother. He hates the Evil Ice Cream because saw it move.
Extremely Southern Awkward Guy appears on the Contrapoints-esque commercial set and seduces Executive Producer Lady via Innuendo.
Viewpoint Kid steals evil ice cream from another child, then does a frozen food rampage.
Awkward Guy interviews an FDA Glasses Guy, who has a dog.

“we’ve GOT to stop letting him watch Supermarket Sweep!” #monsterdon

@whknott It's opium smoothies #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the scene switches to a shirtless kid getting out of bed; for some reason he has a poster of a satyr or satan or something on his wall.

He wanders around, then finds a refrigerator with an upturned ice cream box where the ice cream was moving, then he is admonished by Angry Dad who eats the moving ice cream.

Then for some reason we go to a commercial for the ice cream, which is called "the stuff". If this was made today we would have to hire Contapoints to make the commercial.

Yeah, I always taste mysterious goo I find under an industrial setup. What could go wrong? #monsterdon

Eating a random substance I found on the ground: excellent survival strategy! #Monsterdon

On reflection, I think The Stuff really wanted to be They Live, but the latter was released three years later than the former, so go figure #monsterdon

NEW PALTZ!!!

sweartagawd, i think i actually walked thru one of those houses before 9/11 when my ex wanted us to move out of the city

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial

But yeah, surprisingly good movie this week. I actually wouldn't mind a remake of The Stuff, lord knows the themes of the film are still relevant. #Monsterdon

ALSO IT NEEDED MORE CHARLIE seriously he had great chemistry with our lead and he was GONE for like most of the movie! #Monsterdon

@apLundell the blob #Monsterdon

@floatybirb I actually kind of liked that whole "let's see how much we can sneak in" thing. It's very Billionaire to see people react with horror and refuse to buy something and go, "...but how much of it will they tolerate?" #Monsterdon

I don't believe Nicole spoke to any other female named character in the film - fail #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about The Stuff.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

The moral of the story is that rampant consumerism is killing us #monsterdon

@strangefour Nobody fucked off into the ocean as is traditional, but at least we got THAT tradition accounted for ^^b #Monsterdon

We couldn't figure out exactly how to end the movie, so we broke the fourth wall a bit. Still, look at all of the cool explosions!

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

First "The Thing" then "The Stuff".

This feels like a pattern, but I'm not sure what would come next.

#monsterdon

@blogdiva Oh Car Wash is a movie I have not seen in a long time. Hmm. #Monsterdon making me want to watch non-monster movies.

Also how soon can we get an General Grommitt-less cut of this movie? MAN that guy was gross >_> #Monsterdon

In retrospect: they really, really wasted any suspense they could have built over Charlie being turned. You need him to show up and ask for something suspicious but you trust him, he's good ol Charlie! And then,

And if anyone's making gifs I would love to see Mo and Charlie running to get into that boat, and then a guy they *definitely could see* pops out from behind a billboard for the camera's benefit

#Monsterdon

that one is always a fun group watch

#monsterdon

Review - The Stuff (1985):
What
5/5
#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

Y'know, I think that movie might've been too good. I actually kind of liked that. Definitely needed an editor with a little more patience (or possibly some ADHD medication), but it wasn't bad. #Monsterdon

After credits scene YES #monsterdon

Corporate bastards eating their just desserts! Happy #Monsterdon ending thanks for another fun one @Taweret !

@Taweret thank you!! that was great #monsterdon

okay, that movie was amazing, and Mo + Jason should get their own mini series. i would watch the bejeezuz out of that. #monsterdon

...Ending theme is a little Indiana Jones. #Monsterdon

Superman's going to fly out of the closing credits for some reason. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

i could not have asked for a better ending to this movie please this is the best fan service #monsterdon

#Monsterdon So people got caught up in the mental control of something white that, coupled with corporatism, nearly destroyed everything? You don’t say.

Who wants fluffer nutters?

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

Aaah, menacing and torturing billionaires. All is forgiven, movie, #Monsterdon

Okay this final sequence is amazing lmao #monsterdon #thestuff

"People listened, and they mobilized to destroy it"

Oh, so it's a fantasy movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so far this movie is reminding me of one of the seasons of Man in the High Castle, in that the worst people all have to team up to save the world.

But then I apologize for the liberal remark :D #Monsterdon

Wait. The last best hope against a primordial cosmic horror is a militia group lead by a mad man? Huh.
Also another "Hey! That guy!"
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

A bunch of white guys with guns and they DIDN'T shoot the black cabbie on sight? Unrealistic movie. #Monsterdon

Yeah, ma'am, why not lend your talents to legitimizing a rightwing nutjob? I'm sure nothing'll go wrong with that idea! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon lol at "When I was the boy I was the biggest and toughest and smartest and best looking"

LMAO isn't this the "castle" that's up in the Bronx?

#Monsterdon
#TheStuff

The floor is lav ... ah, Stuff
#monsterdon

Hut! Hut hut! Hut hut hut! #Monsterdon

I've been waiting the better part of an hour for the Garrett Morris to reappear, what's taking so long? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon We drive up to a university castle and are ambushed by people in army uniforms. I guess this is a secret right wing militia base led by a pudgy colonel.

Normally I am firmly against secret right wing militias, but I guess if everyone is being mind controlled by evil space ice cream they *might* be the lesser evil. *Might*.

this guy about to weaponize a conspiracy nut, i have no choice by to stan. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I canNOT keep a straight face when they refer to the stuff-zombies as “Stuffies.”

#Monsterdon Yes, eating anything that has to be mined straight from the earth is horrific. …. What? … I’ve just been informed that there is something called “salt.”

"Your hose is hanging out back there."
"You gonna arrest me for indecent exposure?"
#monsterdon

"I never thought I'd be glad to see the cops" This kid was way ahead of his time. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

<3 Abe Vigoda
"Where';s the Stuff?!" Heh
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

You think he told the marketing lady he was going to blow up the mountain? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon trapped in a tanker truck, viewpoint kid is menaced by an unsettling puddle of toothpaste. Male Secretary rescues him via a Tanker Truck Hijacking that prompts a Geological Uplift. In the back, Viewpoint Kid is having a Psychic Duel with the toothpaste puddle... maybe he's a secret wizard or something.

"Only the most discriminating clientele" in a restaurant full of old rich white people 🤔 #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Meanwhile, the stuff is doing Odo shit and growing arms out of puddles. New hypothesis that the stuff is just a rogue changeling from Deep Space Nine who traveled back in time to subjugate 1980s Earth and force it into the Dominion.

the sort of random structures and shapes appearing in the lake of stuff are giving Solaris #monsterdon

This movie would be a great companion piece with Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Weird guys investigating weird towns producing questionable consumer products. And abducting children?
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

"Work is everybody's freedom. We are very well today, thank you." #Monsterdon #MST3k

#Monsterdon We have officially reached Kill It With Fire for the fourth movie in a row!

"Stay still -- I'll get you a towel."

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah, just use the fuel from your hotel room's kerosene lantern. Normal. #monsterdon

either he's going to drown in The Stuff or he's going to end up in a mysterious settlement full of scientists from across the world headed up by a guy named Exeter #monsterdon

in space, no one can hear ice cream #monsterdon

Hey killing it with fire has had a good run on #Monsterdon lately why not here too?

"...stuff is on my face!"
"here, I'll burn it off"
"Mmmmpppffffff! MMmfffffff!"

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

Excellent wall Stuff FX!

#Monsterdon
#TheStuff

Don't Panic! I'm just gonna BURN YOUR FACE! #Monsterdon #TheStuff

HOLD STILL I'LL LIGHT IT ON FIRE!
#monsterdon

so basically, this movie was made by a bunch of ex-ad people who got so annoyed that THIS is what they were using their art degrees for, that they made this movie? #monsterdon

You know The Stuff looks like Marshmellow Fluff #monsterdon

huh. i never considered that my pillow might be secretly filled with evil ice cream

#monsterdon

Abe Vigoda? #monsterdon

🚨 THERE WAS A "WHERE'S THE BEEF" JOKE 🚨

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Abe vigoda!

#monsterdon was that a where's the beef reference??

Not the kid's smartest moment. #monsterdon

They kill the bad things inside us...

Mwahahaha
#Monsterdon #HashtagGames

#Monsterdon Okay so why exactly did the Extremely Southern Guy and the Advertising Lady think that they needed Viewpoint Kid on their team? Like, I get that he doesn't trust the evil space ice cream... but he doesn't seem to have any special knowledge or abilities?

Truck-kun is coming to kill ya!
Gonna get isekaied by ice cream.
#Monsterdon #TheStuff

A different Pluto ad - for foaming cleanser. Tell me that's coincidence #monsterdon

What flows on the ground

It's STUFF It's Stuff It's Stuff

It's STUFF It's STUFF
It's creamy, it's slimy, it's tasty
It's STUFF, It's STUFF, It's better than bad, it's nasty #Monsterdon

"Everybody has to eat shaving cream once in a while"

Wise words

How is Mo there? We’ll never know #monsterdon

Now we're feeling VERY Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Dad's robot/pod person delivery is on spot. #Monsterdon #TheStuff

this guy in the red room looks like Jeffrey Epstein

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Contrapoints must have stepped back into her time machine, and so the new creative director for the Stuff commercials produces the most 80s sports themed commercial ever.

Disgusted, Viewpoint Kid finds the rest of the family trying to give him drugs... I mean... evil space ice cream. Modern people may not know this, but every anti-drug PSA in the 80s and 90s was there to convince kids that everyone would try to give them free evil space ice cream... I mean... drugs.

They're all just husks filled with goo!

#Monsterdon #TheStuff

@rwhe Stuff is Stuff.
#monsterdon

That commercial kinda slaps. #monsterdon
