In case you haven't seen the abundant prior warnings, this thread will be thick with mentions of spiders and descriptions of spider things

Theme song striking a baffling mix of we must rebuild society and also remember the old west. relevance to spiders unclear

jonny,

suspicious cow is protagonist

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

lassooing the woman suggests we will not have a bechdel pass this week, unless all the spiders are women

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

is the main cowboy william shatner? i never know who these guys are until you all tell me

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

too early to tell if we're supposed to be rooting for the spiders or the cows

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

ah yes another 70's movie whose soundtrack can't tell what genre it's supposed to be

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

@jonny A little Psycho, a little Dukes of Hazzard, a little Kojak...musically this movie has EVERYTHING!

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

spiders resilient to chaw spit confirmed

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

clear spider bait colorado couple will be first casualties

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

noooo never look into a mirror that is when you are most vulnerable to plot developing spider attacks!!!!

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

they are sitting there pretending like they don't know about spider kingdom when it's just a big dirt pile in the backyard

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

why is there sort of a dead brother cuckoldry subplot going on in the spider movie

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

i guess shatner was technically "46" in this movie

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

so this woman is crying because she wanted to marry her brother in law shatner is that correct is that what the secondary conflict in this movie is supposed to be

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

not 👏​ enough 👏​ spiders 👏​ too 👏​ much 👏​ shatner

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

I have a bingo except for "an act of bravery" and so therefore i will never get a bingo because there is no being brave around spiders you either love them or are scared of them

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

quick, write some western dialogue

"I've been tryin' like a hoot to get ahold of ya"

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

please oh please oh please oh please let the spiders be in the duster tank and they all get dusted around the place with little parachutes oh please oh please

you do not want to be running into the flaming ball of aerosolized DDT

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

conventional weapons are not effective against nature how many times do we gotta tell you this

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

so are the spiders eating the people, assimilating them into spider kingdom, or are they just killing them out of revenge. the spiders havent been given enough characterization to judge their motivation

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

the most effective spider countermeasure is to just sorta brush them off

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar
jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

the spiders are at once an insurmountable enemy that kills you by mere proximity but also easily defeated by a drafty cabin, brushing them off, and walking sorta weird over them

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

get some gloves on yall what are you doing

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

don't just spray the kid with a fire extinguisher give her some pants or something

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

are we going to get some big spiders or are there just going to be lots of little spiders because i think we deserve at least one big spider

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

17 minutes left in film and county fair is looking less and less likely and for that i will never forgive them

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

what part of the spiders are everywhere haven't you gotten yet old man

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

10 minutes remaining and the spiders are nothing but ascendant and there is no counter strategy in sight. are we going to get toho'd on this one in the last 30 seconds

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

for the record: SPIDER RIDING RAT

plaidtron3000,
@plaidtron3000@jorts.horse avatar

@jonny english is so bad, I can't tell if you mean a spider riding a rat, or a rat riding a spider.

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

william shatner is immune to the spiders because of his clever strategy of lightly shooing them away from where he is putting his body

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

this extended shot of shatner dying shows us how the spiders are doing nothing wrong and just hitching a lil ride

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

5 minutes remaining in film and one can only conclude that the spiders win and humanity is lost

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

we barely even tried, we could have walked away and regrouped but we chose to stay and die. the spiders flanked us while we were standing still

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

last shot of one giant spider PLEASE

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

zoom out on spider web drawing of the town is BAD ENDING there should have been a BIG ONE

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

spiders don't just coat everything in webs they make them for reasons

diazona,
@diazona@techhub.social avatar

@jonny What would become of with that kind of logic though

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

@diazona i want to see spider GOVERNANCE and the dawn of the new spider CIVILIZATION

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

Kingdom of the Spiders (1977): 3/5

"the spiders were just sort of hanging out and it was fine"

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

ok the basic problem of swarms in horror movies is that the growing evil is just having more of something, but past like 50 people can't tell the difference between orders of magnitude of things and so you need to show the swarm doing different stuff as it grows in size like showing emergent behavior by congealing into a superintelligent swarm or spawning a big version of the swarming entity.

they needed a BIG SPIDER or a BALL OF SPIDERS THAT BEHAVED AS A BIG SPIDER

In a trench coat!!

jonny,

@JoeWynne THE SPIDER BALL CAN WEAR CLOTHES SEE IF I CARE

@peter_mcmahan@mas.to avatar

@jonny

It was more than once in this movie that I hoped for the spiders to Voltron into a mega spider, Hundreds-of-Beavers style.

Zerofactorial,
@Zerofactorial@noc.social avatar

@peter_mcmahan @jonny I think the production crew that had to set them out in whatever array the producer wanted would have quit

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

@Zerofactorial @peter_mcmahan I would be honored to take the role of the spider arranger, no matter the costs

peter_mcmahan,
@peter_mcmahan@mas.to avatar

@jonny @Zerofactorial

hero shot of @jonny nobly, selflessly trying to stack tarantulas

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

@peter_mcmahan @Zerofactorial @jonny you have to make the spiders understand what the purpose of being stacked is, to get them to feel the power of the spider ball

Zerofactorial,
@Zerofactorial@noc.social avatar

@jonny @peter_mcmahan @jonny Seems like you're just trying to force them to be into orgies tho

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

@Zerofactorial @peter_mcmahan @jonny the means by which the spiders realize the spider ball is none of my business, that's up to them, for they know spider society's rules better than I ever could

diazona,
@diazona@techhub.social avatar

@jonny Good point in general, but I do think the continuing erosion of the amount of spider-safe space the main characters had to deal with was also a pretty effective way of building tension

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

@diazona there was never a spider safe space just a bunch of people who kept getting pwned relentlessly with 0 wins on the scoreboard but they kept up the ritual of self preservation instead of just running away.

@jonny They're making up for it in total volume?

@jonny I choose to believe it’s now vengeance.

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

@jonny cuz thousands of big furry spiders aren't creepy enough so we gotta have have that subplot too

@jonny He's being way less of a ham than usual so far, he's practically unrecognizable!
