This is a conservation problem. The natural environment for werewolves is woodsy rural areas. Plenty of space to roam, and the tree canopies can reduce overexposure to moonlight. Thanks to habitat destruction fed by rapid industrialization, werewolves are forced to adapt to increasingly urban environments.

Giselle looks a little like Lambert from Alien in this shot where she's being threatened by that big dog.

was the president supposed to be LBJ with his historic habit of conducting business on the toilet? idk anything about the like stereotypes or jokes about LBJ but maybe that was more current in 1973 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon. Wait. Wait. Wait.

In the opening credits narration, Jack says this whole thing ended his career, right?

But [spoiler alert] he dies.

So. Which character was doing that retrospective voice-over narration at the beginning?

@Lazarou ya right, like that whole subplot was a completely self-contained section from 59:54 - 01:06:28 that introduced us to the fact that a) there is a secret underground lab ??? and b) that the werewolf actually is fine if you just relax and say "wait! wait!" and pet his little cheekies a little bit

and then the rest of the movie kept going as if it never happened #monsterdon

I started like 45 minutes late due to alcohol and hanging out with people, made it about 40 minutes in, and stopped because of alcohol and bedtime and I think I may have made the right choice #monsterdon

@MCDuncanLab @liferstate @Taweret Interesting take... personally I would say that speaks to it being a better experience but not necessarily a better movie.

I kind of relate it to Turkish Star Wars, which has occupied my brain on and off for almost 20 years despite being a clearly terrible movie (at least, I think pretty much anyone who's seen it would agree)

@strangefour That may be true, but personally I feel like Godmonster is beyond the whole concept of "trying to do". Whereas Werewolf did look like it was trying to do something, and I can kind of guess what that was, it just failed horribly.

I think this is the only thing I've seen Dean Stockwell in other than the Battlestar Galactica remake, so he has a history of playing characters that make no goddamn sense. #Monsterdon

@diazona @Taweret Godmonster is outsider art, beyond the normal boundaries of sense, good taste, or reality. Werewolf of Washington grasps at relevance, fails, and doesn't even deliver solid thrills to make up for the utterly flat satire. It's worse.

AWOOOOOO!

Wonderfully awful. Thanks for the politically intriguing #Monsterdon @Taweret

Honestly though we need a whole 'nother movie about the Werewolf President, his Little Scientist and his Secret Basement of Horrors. Like that was so WTF and really presents questions that need answers!

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight we had all kinds of capital canine hijinks, including:
- The strangest editing job ever seen. No scene too good for a dozen jump cuts!
- So many pentagons, I mean pentagrams.
- So much wicker furniture!
- Gutter dancing!
- A mad scientist with a secret monster lab underneath the White House!
- A flowery panic room with a disco ball in a cage!
