#JohnWyndham was a British SciFi author probably best known for #DayOfTheTriffids (empirically difficult to film) but I think #TheChrysalids is rather good.
Post-apocalyptic and a #bildunsroman

Just one more (approx 0.001% of my haul). #Aurora filling the sky whilst looking east over #Hobart, #Tasmania.
So many people out tonight looking at at the sky! Have they not read Day of the Triffids? #DayOfTheTriffids -

Last night we discussed the roaming bands of Triffids, but we did not discuss possible band names.
I produce for @Taweret, so my band would probably have to be The Squelchers.
What is the name of your Triffid band?

#Monsterdon list of better possible resolutions to #DayOfTheTriffids :
* the horse they took along just eats the triffids
* the triffids discover a phonograph player and are seduced by earth culture and then decide to just hang out and chill and not eat people
* a team of plucky misfits from a previously unseen high school in brazil become the main characters and start fighting the triffids with improvised scythes
* humanity abandons the land and becomes a boat faring species -

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids anyway in conclusion I give this movie a rating of "shrug".
Some of the ideas were neat but the execution seemed a little off. Oh well.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids also I kind of hope the evil space plants were intelligent so we can put them in the same bucket as the aliens from Signs, who invaded a planet covered with liquid that could kill them as a touch, probably as a result of some cursed extraterrestrial reality show challenge.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids what that was it? we mostly just fart around for most of the movie then solve all the problems off screen, via narration?
I mean at least they figured out how to fight the things within the movie, but then it just... ends?

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids maybe the evil lizard aliens from V were just stealing earth's ocean water to fight their own secret war against the triffids from space.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids I was gonna chide the grumpy biologist for not knowing that grass types were strong against water damage, but then his plan worked because it was salt water and this movie ignores pokemon logic.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids some of the crawling murder plants break into the grumpy biology guy's lighthouse house, leading to a Thrilling Spiral Staircase Chase, another thing I wouldn't have put on a bingo card.
