$200,000 in 1954 would be almost $2.5 million in 2025 money. #BlackSunday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

When you need a brain, you do what needs to be done to get a brain. Apparently. #TCMParty #TheCurseofFrankenstein

I don't understand words (including the title of the movie), can't be bothered to watch a trailer, and refuse to read anything that's readily available on the Internet, but I hope this movie doesn't have spiders in it. I hate spiders. #Arachnophobia #Svengoolie

The usual 50s sci-fi closing benediction: "We trespassed in God's domain, and Good has released the hounds." Or in this case, the ants. #svengoolie

In 2025, the most far-fetched part of this movie is that the government/military is telling the public what is factually happening. #svengoolie #them

Davy Crockett AND Matt Dillon in the same movie, and they're both fighting giant ants. Wait, that actually sounds like a better movie. #Svengoolie #Them

I'm not expert, but I think putting that against your eye is not the best idea because recoil is real. #Them #Svengoolie

You'd think they'd at least give the deputies short sleeves in that desert heat. #Them #Svengoolie

The Golden Rule of #metvthreestooges should always be: "Never wrap up the night on a Joe Besser short." #Svengoolie

I'd be more impressed if they showed this guy cleaning the Chopzilla by hand. Sorry, not all of us have a dishwasher. #svengoolie

No damn way I'd eat there if the seating situation is like that. #svengoolie

I didn't consider how my words could have been interpreted.

Well, now I'm going to start calling it "banana meat" just to make people question my sanity. #Svengoolie

*SIGH* Looking like my watch-buddy won't make it to the second movie. Such a lightweight. #thelastdrivein #mutantfam

This director MUST'VE told that story of getting Guinness in his movie forever. I know I would. Damn...that is "the drive-in way." #thelastdrivein #mutantfam

Well damn. I was sorta hoping for a Die Hard-style cat and mouse chase for the entire runtime that eventually ends with her killing both of the men brutally.

drgr3g0r.bsky.social @drgr3g0r.bsky.social · 15d

Wait. This is a first time watch for me. Is this "chase" going to be the whole movie? If so, I *like* it. #mutantfam #thelastdrivein
