That's a ferris wheel to those ants. This must be their amusement park.
Crow: Wow, ants really know how to make mitered corners.
Joel: They light the place pretty well too.
Tom: They're carpenter ants.
Oh golly! Oh geez! Do humans squirt like that when they get something thrown on them, Joel?
"Kendra, wanna see what we're doing? Come on, I'll show you. It's interesting." She loves interesting things.
You know this ant thing seems kind of minor in the midst of the flying turtle problems the people of Japan experienced. I think we're being insensitive.
"I think this yellow one should hold its potency for three or four days" That should be enough time to find new actors to play these parts.
Guy's feeling really cocky. He's gonna face off in a mental chess game with a bunch of ants.
Joel: Maybe they'll get shot into space.
Tom: No one's that stupid. Wup! Sorry Joel.
You know, even if you did chain her up, I don't think a lot of people would complain about it.
"Ordinary ants from different species were doing things ordinary ants don't do."

"Phase IV."
"Oh, good, we're halfway through."
Crow:"That ant is pretty skinny. Must be a Carpenter ant."
Servo:"Ant-orexic?"

Actually not a bad movie. Kind of slow and thoughtful. The ending was kind of abrupt, though.
The first non-Gamera MST that has been "recovered" by fans... The original pilot and episodes k01-03 has some footage available, buy only k04 (the first of five Gamera films watched in a row) and onward have full tapes floating around.

Watching this movie is a lot like watching paint dry!
It's so cute, all the sort of preproduction bots and whatnot.

So strange seeing the early incarnation of MST3K. Really glad they hung in there and stayed with it.
