@ricci@discuss.systems are we thinking it's an effect added in post; or are they actually filming the reflection of spotlights shining directly into the actors' eyes from 3 feet away? #monsterdon

ugggh, ·I· want to go to sleep… 🤮 #monsterdon

@cherizilla@retro.pizza I was wondering about that too, so I looked up infrared on wikipeida (and double-checked "micron") micron is a micrometer (10^-6), and that's within the wavelength-range of IR. So I ·think· somebody lookd somethign up inthe encyclopedia, way back in '80. #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow@mastodon.murkworks.net Carol could definitely have upgraded from Mike 😜 #monsterdon

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net I've been suspicious for most of the film that the kaiju footage was indeed recycled from some other movie…🤔 #monsterdon

ok quick poll: if Giant Spiders were actually real, would they qualify as "charismatic megafauna" (I think the answer is an obvious "yes"; but OTOH, spiders do freak some folks right the fuck out…) #monsterdon

ah, the 80's… (where's the nosecandy emoji?) #monsterdon

@PaGn@chaos.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run "god ·damn· it, why won't ·somebody· grab hold of this bag‽😭 "

@bascule@mas.to @filippo@abyssdomain.expert @matthew_d_green@ioc.exchange that's the outcome I'm expecting 😁

@haverholm@radikal.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run speaking of LLMs (but going in the opposite direction), I often find myself trying to predict the content of the original post that led to the response I've just seen first; I begrudgingly concede that the statistical accuracy of the LLMs predicting subsequent text is much higher than my accuracy at predicting what started a thread 😝

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org so, I'm not saying this is a good thing, just a potentially interesting one (better you than I 😜), but: hundreds to thousands of years from now, assuming we haven't bombed ourselves back to the stone age, I imagine future anthropologists/historians will find the continuity and abundance of your posts to be quite valuable. Of course, if current trends continue (though I'm still optimistic they won't), said posts will just be used to build an LLM of you 😛

ok, I'm upgrading "worst guy to have along" from Mike to the sheriff; and btw, wtf did that bat ever do to you, asshole 😛 #monsterdon

@mattblaze@federate.social I'm unfamiliar with him/his work; could you maybe provide a tiny summary or pointer to his confrontations with unreliability? That sounds like an interesting topic

@Binder@petrous.vislae.town I've only ever heard "top of"/"topping out" the bell-curve as an ·insult·…🤔 #monsterdon

@benroyce@mastodon.social @gbargoud@masto.nyc @stux@mstdn.social I wonder if point 2 is why the NYT has the it of printing such trollish opinion pieces (I'm pretty sure it's been doing this since long before the Internet came along)

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @LoganFive@beige.party I feel like @pzmyers@freethought.online would appreciate this

somebody was ·rockin· that theramin… #monsterdon

@SesameSquirrel@mastodon.social I believe the climax (of the wolves crashing in through the ·penthouse· windows) confirms my "flight" theory 😜 #monsterdon

ok, not to mock tragedy, but: yes, young lady, your father just died horribly; and you're feeling guilty; "but remember you have homework!" 😁 thanks mom #monsterdon

is it "foreshadowing" or "irony" when the character is emphatically shown not believing in what the story has shown to be true? #monsterdon

@paco@infosec.exchange they clearly had to fly to spy on the [utterly inexplicable] sex scene, so…🤷 #monsterdon

why are the lights flickering #monsterdon

@bstacey@icosahedron.website hah, that's the same thought I had when I saw his name in the credits… 😛 #monsterdon

@robinhouston@mathstodon.xyz @christianp@mathstodon.xyz I'm gonna respond explicitly here in case anybody wants to refer back to this in the future: The point is not simply to dispose of them: the point is to reduce them to their constituent particles through nuclear incineration; the only reason to care about the transport energy costs is if one finds oneself in the unfortunate position of having only enough budget for the cheaper of the two options 😜.

@klu9@ohai.social maybe the 12-pack in the cardboard box? #monsterdon

I don't think that's how call-signs work… #monsterdon

@PuppyFromLosAndes@kolektiva.social @feff@comicscamp.club @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk "try" nothing: succeeded; and Poettering won't revert/merge a reversion 🤬

@YsengrinWolf@meow.social I don't watch #monsterdon all that frequently; but I think this is the fastest I've ever said to myself, "this movie is fucking terrible" 😝

this is more of Admiral Adama than I became accustomed to seeing on Battlestar Galactica… #monsterdon

@lhp@mastodon.social ugh, thanks for letting me know

look, Carol: I want to support you, because god knows nobody else is; but you've ·got· to stop ·shrieking· 😝 #monsterdon

@lhp@mastodon.social @joshsutphin@wandering.shop @xgranade@wandering.shop wait, is emacs in particular danger? I haven't heard anything, but now I'm worried I missed something

@diazona@techhub.social ½ of it is ·already· a radio-play…🤷 #monsterdon

is anyone gonna mention that the wolfen appears capable of flight, if it can voyeuristically peep in the upper floor windows? #monsterdon

…if not…we're making sandwiches? #monsterdon

@troublewithwords@wandering.shop that's my current working theory, yeah #monsterdon

wait, did they dynamite the entrance already knowing the kids were in there‽ #monsterdon

"You 2 jokers are going to Miramar!" "You're a bum, McFly!" #monsterdon

why did the car explode 😝 #monsterdon

@misty@digipres.club what really blows my mind is, they've already ·had· that wakeup call via e.g. Microsoft Office 365 Online; and yet… 🤷

that ·cannot· be good for the sword… #monsterdon

I love how, in the 80s, the sound effect would be for a ·printer· when computer text rendered on a ·screen·… 😛 #monsterdon

@Mjack@petrous.vislae.town and she's got moxie! #monsterdon

@paco@infosec.exchange I'm watching on a laptop w/ bluetooth headphones, but I think it might be your sound-setup #monsterdon

oh my ·god·, Mike is climbing The Worst rankings ·again·! #monsterdon

why the hell is he using both plurals "foci" & "focuses" in his dialog 😛 #monsterdon

@rebeld@cosocial.ca "conclave" means "curved inward", so "convent" is "outward" 😜 #monsterdon

I TOLD you they could fly! they came in through the exterior ·penthouse· windows! #monsterdon

I wonder if their wedding vows included something like, "in law-abidance and in crime…" (maybe the standard vows should be updated 😜) #monsterdon
