Holly's only occasionally British accent is throwing me off

y'all I think everyone who didn't vote for Reptilian owes us all an apology because this is way more fun than a lot of the stuff we've watched this year
@nev I have been voting for this week after week since the beginning.
See, that fun shot couldn't have happened without an elevated highway. Take that, urbanists.
so many people get all worked up about unrealistic military etiquette, lingo, guns and gunfire, etc., in movies and i get to be blissfully ignorant because i am canadian
honestly this computer translation is exactly the same level as John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness so I can't fault it any
The Hellraiser? Don't get my hopes up ⬛
the only reason this movie looks any good at all is because it was made back when it was still easier and cheaper to film some things practically

this script is 100% clichés. still not the worst monsterdon script we've experienced
Wait. Dino is friend? Since when? Is it because they took out his forehead macguffin?
Oh now that's some EXCELLENT miniature destruction!!
Temu John Lithgow is an alien in disguise calling it
Is that…a giant…crab?
It's a…uhhhh…the fuck is that?
Whatever it is, I love it. It's like an ankylosaur crossed with an eurypterid.
Honestly, I wish they'd gone with this design for the main kaiju, it's so much more fun and original than "basically giant dinosaur".
the guy's little whip things are just making me more confident it's got Chelicerata in its ancestry somewhere
#BREAKING: I have had approximately 425 mL of beer and therefore I have uncontrollable hiccups
The final shot…truly reminiscent of Fellini's La Dolce Vita…absolute cinema
So that was #Monsterdon! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting; @cherizilla for the bingo; @JoeWynne for trivia; @ryan for the @miru stream…
and a giant FUCK YOU to everyone who voted for a Critters movie and not this
saluting the Miniature Explosion Team and Breaking Miniature Team as credits roll
