skipping the first 5m, scrubbed through it and it looks like another case where the entire plot is told in those 5m, but fuck it we'll do it live #monsterdon
alright aliens you've won me over, any species that might make it possible for me to melt my ass down to wax like that is one i want to curry favor with #monsterdon
secondary aspiration is to be the kind of adult that is just hanging around slingshotting shit with a kid #monsterdon
lets go aliens let's go. let's go aliens let's go. bodysnatch this whole damn family!!!! #monsterdon
come on movie! you could have done this kind of setup in 5 minutes!!!!! i don't care about any of the things that have happened so far the movie might as well have started right now #monsterdon
@jonny we needed to know how long the kid was grounded
i can't exactly tell if they are going for a conspiracist "the aliens bodysnatched the cops and all the popular culture figures" or if they are just opportunists bodysnatching whoever looks cool. i guess if they were bodysnatching on who looks cool they would have snatched that cow instead of mangling it, because cows are pretty cool #monsterdon
is the dad's bowling team the anti-baby brigade? what the hell is that logo on the shirt #monsterdon
@jonny Everyone else is saying Ghostbusters
@diazona but it's definitely a baby not a ghost!!!? #monsterdon
@jonny It's an anthropomorphic bowling pin with a big ol' No around it.
@adamthomlison i would have thought bowlers would be pro-pins!
the most unrealistic thing is that the dad was ready so early for the bowling championship that they had time to have like an entire movie in between when he was ready to go and when the tournament was. i've never been that early for anything in my life #monsterdon
why even have disguises if you are just going to also have laser guns!?!?! #monsterdon
ok so it is a bowling pin and not a baby, but why did they make the bowling pin so pink and baby looking #monsterdon
@jonny Something is Extremely Unique about the color grading on this #monsterdon
know when to back down jeb, his eyes are glowing blue and his entire body is bulging out of his shirt #monsterdon
oh whoops one of the characters is actually named jeb, my stereotype names were too generic #monsterdon
25m left, it feels like we are in the first 15 minutes. they just don't have enough going here to make a movie happen #monsterdon
@jonny I definitely wouldn't have minded some more critter attacks
Preferably even on people who deserve it, but, y'know, whatever
ok but if you just give me an endless drip of those little guys rolling around like little tumbleweeds i can forgive any lack of movie #monsterdon
i could really go with a good "make the house defensible" montage right about now. have these people even seen lost boys #monsterdon
THE ONLY THING I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED in place of make the house defensible montage is CRITTER MISCHIEF MONTAGE #monsterdon
the crites seem fine just hungry, give them some cows and call it a day #monsterdon
imagining doing multiple takes with the cat where you need to keep them calm and then actually scare them with a big monster thing. you would only get one per day and three tops lol #monsterdon
@jonny probably they would get more shooting time out of having multiple cat actors to spread out that stress, but… yea, must be tricky!
that cat would be under anything in the studio and inaccessible for a full 48 hours after seeing a monster guy like that #Monsterdon
before the temperance movement, everyone was basically drunk all the time, and it was very common for people in the US to go around with a bottle moonshine or cider strapped to their belt. imagining the spontaneous molotov cocktail hazard of a bunch of drunk guys with bottles of liquor in that era #monsterdon
@jonny Extreme levels of Dad
@jonny I thought they were running from their jailors so I am confused about why they mangled a cow anyway.
@jsadow i have no idea about any of that part, that must have been in the first 5 minutes. i just thought they were aliens doing alien stuff #monsterdon
@jonny The first few minutes is all about tho the prisoners have escaped and they have enough fuel to cross the galaxy ten times and like a gang of ICE agents go after them...then it is all like random thingies eat people.
Gotta quickly refill my tea for #Monsterdon
@nev Going to mooch over here if you don't mind? (I'll untag you after this thank you post)
Really helps if I remember to split out the screen so it's not just audio, huh?
There is a helicopter at the start, is this going to be like a James Bond film where they blow most of the budget in the first couple of minutes?
I think the cooking instructional thing in the Star Wars Christmas Special was better.
Oww, what was that weird boing noise on the aoundtrack?
Wait, Yeti, Sasquatch, & Bog Foot are all the same creature? That's certainly a theory...
(well we could goon a digression about how mythological being from pre-history are actually things early humans just didn't understand and that things like this are representative of early neaderthatal and/or homo erectus interactions? but I'm not an anthropologist...)
Bought back to life when it wasn't even frozen correctly in the first place?
I have a lot of biologist friends who would kill to know their techniques...because sometimes people freeze down a master stock of a say a stable cell line the wrong way. For example. Not pointing any fingers.
How on earth would you speed up blood thawing "chemically"? Add ethanol?
I realize the Himalayas are tall and yes there is more UV at that altitude, but they aren't exactly in the ozone layer science guy.
The oscilloscope shows the heart beat? Uh, that's not the same as an EKG you know? Does the Yeti have some sort of prong output?
@SRLevine you don't know the ways of the yeti heart~
@OliviaVespera True, I've never had the pleasure of dissecting one myself. Real lack in my education, I blame my high school biology teachers.
The Yeti clearly has more than one sound, so presumably we just aren't understanding him correctly. Where are decent subtitles when you need them?
Let's get out of here. drops gun and then rolls away Well at least that might be correct firearm safety? Maybe?
Floooofy!!!
Did I miss some big sexually charged scene while finding that gif? The feed says yes. But the audio bit I caught was about cannibals being nice to their victims, which is making me think you all are a bunch of weirdos.
@SRLevine There was... a nipple... coming into its own as it were. #Monsterdon #Yeti1977
@SRLevine We are certainly not claiming *not* to be a bunch of weirdos
Their jackets are furry and that means the Yeti thinks they are part of his(?) family? Because wearing a fur coat when you don't have fur yourself says family and not "killer of my family"? Like you don't wear a rabbit fur coat and expect your pet bunny to love you, right?
(I might be getting a little distracted)
Oh no, she's going to spray disinfectant on him? He's going to scar!!!
(I'm assuming that's disinfectant and not lidocaine or something actually helpful)
Wait, they seriously named her Jane? Tarzan references much?
@SRLevine It didn't occur to me until seeing this post but I think you might be onto something. Drunk Yeti would have made a much better film I think.
Is this Carmina Burana?? #Monsterdon
