@moira Monocle vibes #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@moira @sean @Louisa I am watching the 1 hour + 1 minute version because I'm tired of being behind all the ad-free viewers all the time #monsterdon

I can’t wait until we get to a plot complication so that someone will offer us coffee.

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

the doctor is not wearing a monocle

he just _looks like_ he's wearing a monocle

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@Taweret she's a Romulan spy!
#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

omg I was gonna make an “I’ll be your guinea pig” joke but the movie beat me to it lmao #monsterdon

"over the next three months, i will turn into a fucking rat"

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Bob Dobbs in an early role. #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

"I cannot test my formula on you! We must find less valuable humans to test it on!"
#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@chirpbirb accurate

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He sure didn't try to talk her out of that.

@sean @Louisa wikipedia says 66 for theactrical, other sources say 61, and the theactrical cut I can find is 61.

we're watching the TV cut for extra wasp queen jelly powers

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

"i'm going to be stupid and you can't stop me, creepy old man!"

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Why does boss lady assume she gets to take the injection in the arm instead of the derriere? #monsterdon

@paco ooh, okay that's definitely not in my version (also from archive.org but not the theatrical cut)

#Monsterdon

"nothing short of a miracle"

WHAT PART OF IT IS A MIRACLE

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Well, if it works on two guinea pigs, then it must be legit and safe.

#monsterdon

@Louisa

Looks like there's a 66 minute version (theatrical), and a 73 minute version (TV). I'm wondering if there are editing differences.

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

"Wtiness, just one injection of the serum and they turn into more fuckable rodents" #monsterdon

Another jelly shot, accompanied by violins.

#Monsterdon

What do you call that transition? A Vaseline fade? #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

business lady has green patches on either side of her mouth

#monsterdon

@blogdiva of all the wtf, this is the biggest so far. wtf.

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

is the Corman orchestra just instructed to live-noodle all over the Final Cut or #monsterdon

TIL rats are just baby guinea pigs. #monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@Louisa i wonder if they're watching the 61-minute version #monsterdon

#monsterdon flight of the bumblewasp montage

The royal jelly transformed a guinea pig into a rat. I don't want this to advance to human trials.

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

IM ACTIVELY CACKLING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW I CANT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY ANYMORE

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

I mean, injecting Wasp jelly might seem strange, but in real life, people inject Botulism toxin into their skin for cosmetic reasons ...

#Monsterdon
#TheWaspWoman

i guess if this lady takes this serum and gets turned into a wasp, she can't say she wasn't warned. #monsterdon

I would not take any injection that turned me into a rat

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@bunnyhero Hey, getting old suc... oh geeze! #Monsterdon

This old guy and his Yoda-speak I am here for! #Monsterdon

…Sir that is a totally different kind of animal. #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

It's a rat, wait, what? #Monsterdon

THIS IS AMAZING AND NOT HOW THIS WORKS AT ALL

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Oh no eerie injection music

#Monsterdon

this guy's hair is orange and his neck is green

#monsterdon

He didn’t even use an alcohol wipe! #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@howler0502 Maybe they're just Catholics? (I really can't let that joke go, and I am sorry!) well not really #Monsterdon

Eeeeh, fill 'er up with what like a dozen CCs, eh, it's not rocket science... #Monsterdon

I was worried for a moment that the dude brought in a wasp colony under that shroud, but it was guinea pigs. Very good piggus!

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@paco What timestamp is that?

#Monsterdon

that poor guinea pig that did not get injected at all

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Ah, this will go well

#Monsterdon
#foreshadowing

@howler0502 They are each only a couple handfuls of insects inside a sheath dress #monsterdon

vintage guinea pigs :3 #monsterdon

DO NOT HURT THOSE PIGGIES. #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Just keep shopping around until you find a doctor willing to recommend magical youth potions made from wasps.

#Monsterdon

HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY DARLIN HELLO MY WASP QUEEN GAL

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

okay i'm wrong it's a guinea pig (?) box?

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

the receptionist's hands changed from blue to orange and then to green when she answered the phone

#monsterdon

We couldn't afford an old cat, just use your imagination.

And now ... your first jelly shot!

#Monsterdon

@yatsu @Taweret
I remember a time when people would light up a cigarette in a restaurant. And airplanes. And INSIDE hospitals!

Smoking. The real monster.
#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Would fans of Janice Starlin's cosmetic products be considered "Starlinists?"

#Monsterdon
#TheWaspWoman

i think i saw that sun-type mirror in the thrift store the other day. #monsterdon

"...today will be your first injection"
"Oh goodie!"

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Oh look! the hamster that was a rat is now a kitten!

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

everything has weird green and patches that shift around and appear and disappear

#monsterdon

glad for my carefully auto-maintained Plex library, this b&w bluray transfer is actually quite good #monsterdon

@Taweret I’m old enough I don’t have to imagine. #Monsterdon

So I guess the two office ladies give us a Bechdel pass in the first reel (though they spend a lot of time talking about dudes) #monsterdon

I want to see an updated version of this movie that revolves around those fancy skin care products that use snail secretions #monsterdon

he's carrying the wasp box in like he would a bird cage it's very amusing

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@lorgonumputz And suddenly this is that FedEx commercial where the charismatic brainless one steals the ideas with his hand motions #Monsterdon

@Louisa wait is this actually something that happens in the movie? I wonder if we're watching the same movie 🤔

#Monsterdon

that is a really swank fake view from her office, gotta give it that

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

forget it about it. you're a woman. and we all hate you. :)

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

paralyze their victims [w/ boredum] and then take their time devouring them. so, not unlike this movie then. #monsterdon

@Taweret I remember when there were ashtrays always on tables.

brb, need to breathe oxygen due to the exertion of typing this toot.

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@plaidtron3000 Who's Fleek? #iAmOLD #Monsterdon

things dramatically change color if they go into shadow or if they move at all and people have weird green halos sometimes

#monsterdon

boy, you got some serious bags under your eyes to be lecturing a woman about how she's not keeping up appearances

#Monsterdon

If we had "nail filing" on the bingo card I'd be close to a bingo already #monsterdon

Dang it I know there is a werebee short story I read once but I can not remember the name of it...
#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

so is this movie just wasp fearmongering

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Not one but TWO sunburst wall hangings #monsterdon #thewaspwoman

I love we go from a white light to orange light and back again randomly
#monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo @trixter @WhiskeySailor are turtles kaiju?

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

The uglier the glasses are, the easier it is for our femme fatale to whip them off so we can realize "OMG SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL ALL ALONG." #monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

everyone relieved the zoom meeting is ending 30 minutes early #monsterdon

Business woman business time! But business man is businessing hard at her business chart. Buzziness.
#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Every piece of gum she's ever chewed. Right there on that wall. #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

@trixter @WhiskeySailor Are bats moths? #Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

this office hierarchy is so fucking weird

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

that guy's moustache is orange

#monsterdon

@Taweret Just think, only 2 hours more to go! #iDontMakeTheRules #MonsterDon

the old man's colourized moustache is the same colour as his skin #monsterdon

The graph makes everything crystal clear. Some labels strategically placed might be nice, but hey it’s almost a perfect aide. #Monsterdon

"That's right, we all think you're a hag! The public is offended by your age! How dare you allow the ravages of time at your moldy old age of, what, twenty nine?" #Monsterdon

“The sales dropped off in April but the real problem started here in February”

This guy understands reinforcing feedback loops!

#Monsterdon

imagine being in an office meeting and someone just lights a cigarette right there in the conference room

#monsterdon

Maybe they should devise a way to put royal jelly into the cigarettes #monsterdon

oh good we get to look at the graph some more #monsterdon

@msh There's no way a human was involved.

Probably somebody took a bunch of public domain movies from Archive, ran them through one of those new AI colorizers (which are both terrible and not designed for movies) and then put them on Amazon.

They'll probably make a few dollars, and it didn't cost them anything, so why not?

We're going to see lots of zero-effort AI "enhancements" of old public domain properties.

#monsterdon

Bob Dobbs was a suckup before he founded the church, wasn't he?

#monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

DARN GOOD JOB OF SEXISM, TOO [clapping with a pipe in mouth]

#Monsterdon #TheWaspWoman

Our mad scientist spent decades researching royal naval jelly before turning his attention to wasps. #Monsterdon
