I... uhh... so...

Giggity?

#Monsterdon

That's a whole lotta Wilhelm there. #Monsterdon #THEM

#Monsterdon can you imagine being the propmaker watching this actor set your prop ant on fire with a flamethrower?

I can!! Id be so fucking jazzed!! Best of my life!!!

Screw you Wilhelm!
#Monsterdon #Them

I think I NEED that Ant buzz as a ringtone stat
#monsterdon

At least in the tunnels there is no shooting night-for-day.

#monsterdon

WILHELM!

#Monsterdon

oops, sorry sir. you didn't crawl quite fast enough. #monsterdon

@diazona Ah. The old Godzilla instincts. Ignore the mass of the monsters mighty meat mountains. #Monsterdon

RIP Wilhelm #Monsterdon

"...where's your fire stick now hooman!"

#Monsterdon #Them

So with the jeeps, formic acid, and flamethrowers in the tunnels, I guess everybody in there is already dead? #monsterdon

I always enjoy monster silhouettes in b movies tho

#monsterdon

Is that #4?

#Monsterdon

@ketmorco i bet it smells like teen spirit

#Monsterdon

I don't think the kids you have not meet or knew about until you have to go rescue them so late in the movie really leaves me not as caring as if it was the scientist in danger.
#Monsterdon

@moira @bunnyhero Look at those kids. Think of all the laundry she has to do now #monsterdon

Wow that stunt ant was on fire for a long time #monsterdon

Everyone took screaming lessons from Wilhelm!

#monsterdon

Sorry not sorry to the 3 people I've temporarily muted because all of your #monsterdon toots flooded through at once :pika:​

Wonder how many giant ant puppets they used. They have to have toasted a good half-dozen or so. #Monsterdon

Kill Them with fire!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon nothin like a good flamethrower in close-quarters

I wonder if all this jeeps on drains pipes are going to kill everyone with CO and CO2 poisoning.
#monsterdon

RIP Ben. At least you hopefully saved those boys.

#Monsterdon

Nobody ever brings up the square-cube law during Kaiju movies, either. Or Pacific Rim. Or giant robot anime.

#monsterdon #them

@Zerofactorial @bunnyhero desperate for the insurance money she will no longer receive

#THEM #monsterdon

we did establish that you can just shoot the ants but we're still going with the Set LA on Fire plan, huh?

#monsterdon

@ramsey #innerMonolog they'll never try fire! #stillBitter #monsterdon

This music gives me the same vibes as Lego Star Wars for the 360.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐜 !🐜 !🐜 ! 🔥 😱

I think this movie has repeated the line "Time is of the utmost importance" more times than any other movie in the world

Ant hostage situation #monsterdon #them1954

Just release some CHUDs down there and the problem takes care of itself #Monsterdon

"Brood odor" by Faberge. #Monsterdon #THEM

we've circled it, so you know it's for real. #monsterdon

Look, just open up with the flamethrower. It's the 1950s, those kids are so packed with asbestos they'll never burn, they'll be fine. #Monsterdon

"Brood odor?" Is this man breedable? Are all of the army men breedable?
#Monsterdon #Them

Peterson the Ant Sniffer will save the kids! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "i got a strong brood odor" put that in your dating profile buddy i don't wanna hear it

Brood. Odor. #Monsterdon

who the hell are these kids lol i have been reading ant wikipedia #monsterdon

About to cross paths with a troupe of mini coup

#Monsterdon #them1954 #italianJob

Oh damn it Hank and Dean are alive. Eh start the fires anyway. Just to be safe and to save the world.
#Monsterdon #Them

@steggy Yeah that is the right trope.

#Monsterdon

Put the Oscar back in the box again

#monsterdon

Aw, poor Mrs. Lodge #Monsterdon

Brother, pass the flamer. The heavy flamer.

#Monsterdon #Them1954

Brood Odor is my new band name.

Also sounds like what my kids room smells like

#Monsterdon #Them

@strangefour I think we all just collectively decided to ignore that

#Monsterdon

They're alive.

...for now

#Monsterdon

Ants tapping

Ant starts singing "When you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits... PUTTIN ON THE RIIIIITZ"

#monsterdon #them

#Monsterdon These ants are Godzilla's next opponent. 👍

I want Mrs. Lodge to talk to scientist Pat #monsterdon

Wait have we never brought up the square cube law yet? Them are too heavy to live. Let alone fly.
#Monsterdon #Them

have we even seen any of the ant UFOs yet or did i miss that i have been waiting to see them #monsterdon

Mom: "Is the ant tap-dancing?" #monsterdon #them1954

there are multiple fires in LA right now. I mean what's one more I guess

#monsterdon

"tell my wife i said hello."

#monsterdon

The movie takes a giant twist when the giant ants ally with the giant LA sewer rats...

Humanity...never had a chance.

#monsterdon

"This is Peterson at 223, I'm gonna go get killed. Over." #Monsterdon

@apLundell Maybe the ants are looking to adopt

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon how does anyone think those kids might still be alive anyway? Like the ants are having a little tea party with them?

Pretty sure the radio bands they used in this period would not work well at all in this environment.

#monsterdon #them

Bwahaha Okay I made that post before I heard him talk about pouring gasoline down the drains that's funny

#Monsterdon #them1954

@Eka_FOOF_A the important questions that have to be asked!

#THEM #monsterdon

they're lucha libre mexicANT queens cuz they have that flying ant body slam moves and that's why the gringos are running scared.

#Monsterdon #THEM

Same root odor. These must be the same giant ants!

#Monsterdon #them1954

"Make me a sergeant, give me the booze" is my new favorite song.

#Monsterdon

I wonder about the logic that has them all reporting in at different distances

#Monsterdon

If you made an announcement like that you'd have people dumping gallons of gasoline down the drains trying to burn out the ants and instead just pissing off the nest

#Monsterdon #them1954

@socketwench Lollicops? #Monsterdon

@jeffron I'm assuming this movie is a futuristic SF story #monsterdon

@futurebird Yeah, where are the hounds? Hmmm.

#monsterdon

Did they build any sets for this driving-around-in-the-drains bit, or just drive around in the LA storm drains?

#monsterdon #them

Everyone relying on Zoom* to work now

* Betty "Zoom" Malone, fastest telephone operator in the southwest #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐜 !🐜 !🐜 ! 🔥 😱

"Suddenly one or more of the ants attack!"

All that urgent suspense-building music... and everyone's just standing around, bored, at base cam. Hmmmm.

#monsterdon

Don't they know about turn around, don't drown?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ like when you hang a bear bag when you camp, it's just being prepared #monsterdon

I bet that water is gross tho

#monsterdon

You'd think the poop smell would suffocate the ants 💩💩💩#monsterdon #them1954

we're gonna deliberately set a large fire in LA. nothing could possibly go wrong

#monsterdon

can't contact that northern contingent, but we're still going ahead? okay, that seems ill advised, but i guess the heroic shots of Brave Soldiers will solve all our problems. #monsterdon

Fill the drains with Malathion.

Problem solved.

#monsterdon #them

if they really wanted people to be safe they would tell them about the SUGAR because if you put the SUGAR outside then you don't have anything the ants are interested in #monsterdon

@strangefour@retro.pizza Giant ants versus NYC rats? I pity the ants!

#Monsterdon #Them1954

"Try not to worry." Your kid has just been taken by giant ants. That's all. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐜 !🐜 !🐜 ! 🔥 😱

So why and when did we stop having white wall tires? They were swanky.

WAIT that's the SAME LADY?

#monsterdon

Department of Agriculture getting billing ahead of the military just feeds into how oddly optimistic this movie is (despite the explicitly apocalyptic stakes)

#monsterdon #Them1954

yeah fires are notoriously easy to control in southern california

#monsterdon

"Wouldn't you rather wait at home?"

No, I'm hoping to get eaten by a giant ant ASAP <3 #Monsterdon

Worrying about whether or not dealing with the ants will cause property damage. Yea, that scans.

#Monsterdon

Half of this movie is just people asking questions.

#Monsterdon

@brooke You've got to think about the economy!

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret the only way people would notice giant ants in LA is if they started blocking up the highways #monsterdon

Good thing the LA river isn't really a river this time of year. #monsterdon #them

“I’m sorry to say, the city of Los Angeles is a giant ant hill. Stay in your homes.” #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Just set the rioters loose on the ants

#Monsterdon
