#monsterdon You know, seeing our two future protagonists flee a society based on a worship of youth, powered by hedonism and ignorance, and perpetuated by careless violence built atop that same cultivated ignorance... and having their eyes opened to a larger world when they stumble into the political relics of _the united states_..? That reads differently now than in the 70s, I think.

#monsterdon I appreciate the change in style of the score: we're now on traditional Hollywood flute and orchestra work rather than pure dissonant and arrhythmic synths. Honestly the music has a bit of a tone problem, but the contrast of it from the first 75 minutes is very effective.

#monsterdon With this many cats in the scene the only logical way for it to proceed is for Michelle Pfeiffer to suddenly appear with a sewing machine and a bullwhip

This makes twice now that The #Monsterdon Collective™ has picked films I already own and to be honest it feels a bit judgey

edit: proof

@Gargron @k8eb I don't knooooow

But I think that in about *checks calendar, runs some numbers* five months I'll get back to you with an evaluation of that question

So @k8eb wants us to watch Spongebob

And, like

Ma'am. We are not going back and watching eleven seasons of this show.

...

...are we..?

Haven't made a meal like this for dinner for a few months. Calorie target missed, protein target met! Plus it was mighty tasty.

The phrase "rent-seeking kubernetes cluster" deserves to start being deployed as an aggressive dismissal in the same way as the rejoinder "I don't care about pokemon" in response to hype-inflated cloud services named drizl or badgerhoney or claps or whatever

#monsterdon OH MY GOD IS THAT THE GUY FROM QUANTUM LEAP

#monsterdon HERE WE GO

Now is an appropriate time to throw your hands in the air, overflowing popcorn bucket be damned, and scream at the top of your lungs until the neighbours bang their ceiling with a broom handle, as if your femur is being gnawed on by a werewolf

...

...

...OF WASHINGTON

Get your timed mute buttons ready, folks, we're about to do a #monsterdon.

#monsterdon "This country is crawling with bureaucrats - why aren't they here questioning us?" Hoo boy buddy

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

#monsterdon monster howl!

#monsterdon "I think your father is a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ." _leans in for a kiss_ "I'm engaged to be married, Jack."

Yeah, that is about the correct response to a line like that.

#monsterdon I one hundred percent expected the president to get a bowling ball in the face just then. To be honest, the way this scene is going, it might still happen. Are these supposed to be high *squints at a sheaf of papers* jinks?

#monsterdon "Don't wait for me here, wait for me in your room. Go away, now-awoooooo!"

NO AWOO
$350 FINE

#monsterdon MONSTER PAWS

#monsterdon MONSTER CHOMP
