i am so lost here. did victor smash the cactus to give his hand the power to drain life #monsterdon
the detective saying the thing that the wife was horrified was how his hand was gray and cactuslike does nothing to disprove my theory that he smashed the cactus to give his hand life draining powers #monsterdon
the guy surviving the alien invasion was actually just a coincidence and unrelated to the real plot, which is how people who to go space can come back and gain cactus power #monsterdon
what the fuck is even going on with this lore scene, the alien power is using a union of cactus and animal as its vessel and it's hungry now!?!?!?!?! #monsterdon
haven't you ever seen a man with cactus arm!?!?!? why are all the doctors in this town such amateurs #monsterdon
soon he'll be more cactus than man! we have to find victor and administer the anti-cactal serum! #monsterdon
WHY did he punch the cactus? could he have punched any plant and merged with its powers? what is the affinity between the aliens and cacti!!?!?! #monsterdon
if he punches a blackberry vine with the other hand he would become the most badass villain of all time #monsterdon
i am choosing to believe that everything he punches has its power added to his arm, so now the arm has the power of cactus, grifter guy, pharmacist, and dolly #monsterdon
@jonny He can gab like a grifter, but he has the diaphragm of a cactus. It's torture, that's why his face is always agonized.
what's happening why are we introducing like a dozen new characters 2/3 through the movie when we haven't even figured out what the hell is the deal with the space cactus man #monsterdon
does the zookeeper really need 5 minutes of screen time to establish that he is biking home through the zoo #mosnterdon
if he absorbs the entire zoo's worth of powers into his arm it's basically game over for humanity #monsterdon
how would you have managed to let hundreds of people into your zoo before realizing that all the animals have been absorbed into some guys arm and their corpses are lying empty all over the ground #monsterdon
i was sittin ineedoway i woz, ennisaw eshamblin blob creepin up th wall. looked likee cactus et a zoo it did #monsterdon
if you keep saying the goo reaching the mice will kill all humanity then maybe stop leaving the goo unattended in a room with mice in it! #monsterdon
"yes men, your orders are to scour through the sewers looking for a huge cactus bag of zoo creatures" #monsterdon
if a hideous agglomeration of alien cactoid zoo creatures absorbs the royal family, does it become the rightful ruler of the british empire #monsterdon
even though the cactoid has absorbed many life forms after which it could choose any body form, it has chosen "cactus octopus" which i think reveals the best that earthly body plans have to offer #monsterdon
from the cactoid's point of view, it is just an ARG player in a game that is baslcally pokemon except you invade non-galactic planets and try and absorb all their different species before they can kill you #monsterdon
@jonny I would play that game.
it would actually be the most fun katamari game of all time, if instead of just growing a bigger ball, you just became a more and more badass blob that could take hybrid forms picked from all the different creatures you had absorbed #monsterdon
i have sort of zoned out from the movie thinking about what the blob is up to, and why are they in like a mausoleum or palace or whatever this is #monsterdon
wait what happened? #monsterdon
having to rewind to see how they killed the alien because i totally missed it zoning out thinking about the alien. they just like zapped it and problem solved? the goo can absorb all terrestrial life but is vulnerable to electricity? #monsterdon
"in my simple bible way i did a lot of praying" who in the FUCK IS THIS GUY #monsterdon
@jonny he is... Bible Cop. Simple Bible Cop. #monsterdon
who the hell is quatermass and why does he have his own space program!?!?!? #monsterdon
did the wife just die from seeing the cactus arm??? where did she go!?!!? #monsterdon
@jonny
I thought she just sorta freaked out and screamed herself into a delirium, as women in 50s horror movies are want to do. 🤷♂️
this movie being two of 6 episodes of a tv show explains EVERYTHING #monsterdon
edit: wait no this was a remake of a tv show that was never recorded lol... so it's just based on someone's memory of watching a tv show???

not this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quatermass_Experiment
The Quatermaxx Xperiment (1955) - 3/5
They had cactoid alien that eats a zoo and becomes a library of biological form in the palm of their hands and they fumbled it.
@jonny They probably still had the scripts.
@apLundell @jonny And the screenwriter.
@bk1e
@apLundell
3 hours sounds about right for developing the lore around the pan-biological life form
@jonny she died of starvation bc she mis-heard cactopus as cocktopus and was waiting in the bedroom ass up
@jonny She got shocked right out of the movie!
@jonny She got Cotton-Eye Joed.
@jonny same boat here lmao
@jonny they're relaunching the space travel experiment that turned that dude into a fucked up octopus
@jonny definitely yes, that's in the Succession Act of 1548
Are you sure this hasn't happened?
@jonny having absorbed the power of tea parties he shall be unstoppable #monsterdon
@jonny imagine what will happen when he absorbs a baboon
@jonny it was his "pleasure hand" that's why he is suffering so much
