Checking in for #Monsterdon, The Stuff (1985)! 🧵
Lmao he almost got isekai'd
"What about Ralph Nader or someone like that?"
Obi-wan: "Now that's a name I've not heard for a long time…"
Never get in a stranger's car, unless they yell that they saw the food move too.
"My male secretary, Roger" Oh, the 80's
Honestly the Stuff colour palette and branding are FIRE for the mid-80's.
you know, I was going to have ice cream while watching this but I think I'll skip.
(Kaya toast flavour from a local ice creamery)
first: "hold still while I set fire to your face," great strategy
second: great special effects in these scenes just now!
Also, how did they not hear "the company has arranged a hotel room for you" and not realize it was a trap
saw the striped Stuff logo block on the truck doors and was like "what sexuality is that"
DON'T KISS HIM YOU'LL GET CONTAMINATED
"They're all Stuffies!" does sound ridiculous, but the alternative is "They're Stuffed" which is even worse
Honestly, if the corporations, media, and government have all been infiltrated and you need to be totally off the grid, might as well resort to the airsoft larpers far-right militia, right
"What about 'Nam, sir?" "We lost that war at home, sonny."
Okay that was genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.
"Well what if what you don't like is insaaaaahd you?"
Look I've been reading Moby Dick and Toni Morrison's commentary on it so it's real hard not to see The Stuff as a metaphor for the insidiousness and all-devouring yet blank rapaciousness of whiteness
As we've learned from fedi, guys what know radio are essential in a survival situation where normal comms are down
