@ryan I just edited all my posts to remove the mention, but I'm so sorry for dinging you on each of my posts. That happened because I kept responding to the same thread, and I happened to mention you in an early post, and my client (Mona) wasn't showing very well that I was mentioning you in responses.
imagine the cia getting ahold of this thing tho'
you got tiny khrushchev running around in a bottle city with tiny castro shaking tiny missiles before the soviets catch up and unleash Giant Brezhnev on American forces in South Vietnam
Looking at your profile now, I see them. Can't say if I noticed them during the full-on firehose of #Monsterdon
Oh, shit. Did I really mention @ryan in all my posts?! So sorry!
Huh. Did none of my posts from tonight's #Monsterdon federate?
@diazona@techhub.social @paco@infosec.exchange Right, she was shown as a full size person, but I don't think she was shown as a doll. There were three women shown as dolls and named.

@jonny if you consider the fact that a sufficiently large doll society will have a fucking crazy dude who builds a miniaturization machine and starts dollifying people, then it is likely that we don't actually live in the 1:1 scale universe ourselves. I call this the Dollification Hypothesis, may I have 100 book deals and a Joe Rogan episode please #monsterdon
I imagine Franz in jail, still with his cat-in-a-matchbox as his only companion.
At least that's *some* kind of ending.
@paco I think all the characters had names that were mentioned at least once, although I wasn't really paying close attention
@paco She was also the daughter of the director?
@paco oh wait *that* little girl. Yeah you might be right.
@devilgirlbot it is better if we all meet death together #monsterdon
That car nearly hitting them scared the crap out of me, and then I startled @Mallow
Even though I know these are backdrops and green screens!
@Lazarou yes, not enough attack!!! Or they could have had the guy get even smaller, like a doll-size for the dolls. #monsterdon
Go Big and Go Home
Cause the Boss deserves to be Alone.
And that's a Wrap.
IKR? He was supposed to be gonna off himself. Why shouldn't we think he's not gonna burn down the whole lab with the shrink/un-shrink machine, leaving the rest of the little people stuck that way as revenge?
Or they could've shrunk him and then set up for a sequel as, like, revenge of the doll people.
That was a very cute, clean, tame little rattie.
@wohali@timeloop.cafe most emotion, very expressive. good boy ๐พ #Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople
Oh no, pizza Rat!
@diazona Yeah that was some bullshit
i suppose according to "fuck off into the something" theory they fucked off into the outside of the doll prison #monsterdon
I wish they'd had the decency to at least shrink Franz
OK, good energy, Bob, but if you piss off Franz too much, he may not drink the roofied coffee!
MIRU!!! MIYAKU!!! MEDIA!!!
@nazokiyoubinbou I used to watch that show. Iโm old. #Monsterdon
Thank you @Taweret for hosting another wonderful #Monsterdon. Thank you everyone for all the fun riffing. Catch you next week!
So, whoever named that movie "ATTACK of the Puppet People," did that person actually watch the movie, or did they just run it through the ol' 1950s movie name generator?
my favorite part was when he did the exploding wine glass trick on a shelf like a foot from his head and didn't sustain any injuries #monsterdon
Well, that was a surprisingly well paced movie. Not a good one, mind you, but it moved along at a steady clip.
I had a lot fun, fam. We should do this again next week!
Take care of each other. Be kind, drink water, and play indie games! Goodnight!
(Why didn't they at least punch the guy?)

@jonny@neuromatch.social The first step in dollification is to convert the person's matter into energy. Stop there and you have a disintegration ray. But does anyone ever think of that? Nooooo.

Attack of the Puppet People (1958) - 3/5
honestly pretty good movie (derogatory)
#Monsterdon ๐๐๐๐จโ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ
#PuppetPeople1958
that was unsatisfying but thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia and all you delightful #Monsterdonians for making it fun!
#Monsterdon If you want to see tonight's movie, except good, I recommend the movie that this movie was ripping off.
"Dr. Cyclops" (1940)
Thank you @Taweret for hosting another #Monsterdon .
@arrjay counterpoint: it was bad. #monsterdon
Now, that's another suddend end #monsterdon style!
Thanks for everyone posts. You know, I get some anxiety attack right before tonights movie. Real bad one. You all made me feel better again. Thanks A LOT!
What? That's it?
#Monsterdon
And all the rest of the puppet people died. The end. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!
What this one really needed was a bangin' theme song:
https://youtu.be/Biicfplhygo?si=HwJZE_VTmnmSjVvu
Have a great week Beautiful Mutants!
Heโs just a lonely boy who thought he could make people like him.
Gosh that sounds SO familiar.
What a bad ending. And leaving him alone with the rest of the smols is really irresponsible.
#Monsterdon The moral: keep to the puppets. Stay out of ray guns.
What happened to all the other Bobs?
Lmao that was fabulous, thanks friends and @Taweret, join us for the double feature next at @miru's stream #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople
yeah there was pretty much no attack. thanks a lot, movie! #monsterdon
so the sequel is basically "the cops come back to the dollshop and he is ready there with the doll gun on full auto and dollifies the entire police department" #monsterdon
I'd have had to beat his ass after that. Fun film tho, y'all! :D
Won't anyone think of the lonely men.
The important lesson is that dolls are actually small human taxidermy, another important lesson learned because of #monsterdon
they coulda at least shown the mad doctor deciding to shrink himself out of existence.
So I guess we'll never know what happened to the others then?
#Monsterdon
The rest of this proof is left as a exercise for the viewer.
Wait, how the kid new about the machine?
#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople
#Monsterdon Huh. Well, not the worst film we've seen. Not by a long shot.
But it was rather dull considering how fun the subject matter is.
So the doll people attacked the puppet person? #Monsterdon
What would they charge him with? Felony enshrinkification? #monsterdon
Oh ffs
honestly, I wanted him to open the door and get slugged RIGHT in the face by full-size John Agar
I was okay until he didn't sock Mr. Puppetmaker in the snout on the way out
and they fucked off into the side room to call the police #monsterdon
really makes you think, or whatever
So ends another #Monsterdon with the masterpiece, #AttackofthePuppetPeople. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Ah, I've heard about enough.
NO QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED! ONLY THE VAGUEST CLOSURE WILL BE GIVEN!
thank god that worked perfectly first try and the doll guy didn't have like a gun or anything #monsterdon
This Dr Jeckel scene is seriously messed up.
C'mon Bob, not even a sock to the jaw? I am disappointed in you #monsterdon
"I'll be alone!" -what the lone audience member said when this played first-run.
Wow, Emil earuser uh?
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon ๐๐๐๐จโ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ
#PuppetPeople1958
and this isn't an attack either
Are you TRYING to get ant-sized people?!
#monsterdon would it actually be quicker to wait for mail dropoff than it would be to run (the equivalent of) 6 miles? They could've written the theater to be further away
ONE MINUTE REMAINING AND THEY ARE STILL DOLLS #monsterdon
(electrons whirring)
#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958
Trustworthy Brownie!
She snitched, now the cop is going to give her stitches.
Ok, Brownie, for this service I will definitely buy at least two boxes of cookies
just kill the man, foo!

good old brownie troop 214
That poor rat! #monsterdon
Why is a kid alone at an office building at 6am?
#monsterdon
Why has nobody noticed his shadow on the door?
he skipped town

#PuppetPeople1958
this scene would be funner if packing popcorn had been invented yet
Oh I thought they did that unintentionally lmao #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople
I'm thinking we're not really going to get an attack of the puppet people with only three minutes left to go #monsterdon
[tosses in the package] [tiny bones all break again]
Lmao pwnt #monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople
Excelsior!
ugh the animal noises in this have been, extreme
#monsterdon
When is the attack going to happen?
