#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

How did I do it? I have a presentation prepared.

#Monsterdon

@jonny if it's the latter, they should have been rendered unable to jump like that crummy little frog

#monsterdon

fiance (rehydrated)

#Monsterdon

this is some LAND OF GIANTS bullshit

#monsterdon

Close the door, creep, you've got a tiny lady changing in here :/ #Monsterdon

You know if you shrank people then burned them you would reduce the carbon footprint of cremation dramatically. Depending on how much energy the shrink ray needs. #monsterdon

SMOL!

SMOL!

SMOL!

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

This guy is employing some classic abuser techniques though.....

#Monsterdon

Does she have her scarf run through a buttonhole?

Was that ... a thing?

#monsterdon

Oh great, just what we need, MORE BOBs. #Monsterdon

Only 79 minutes, still rather deliberately paced. #monsterdon

Corporate downsizing strikes again. Welcome to late capitalism!

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

So she's got Bob in her purse? #Monsterdon

Just use a photo cutout in the tube, nobody will notice it's not a real doll. #monsterdon

Just watching the ol’ boob tube… I mean BOB tube!

#attackofthepuppetpeople #monsterdon

I begged him not to take you away, thats why I shrank him into eeensssy wweenssy. #monsterdon

Girl, take this as a 'bullet missed' moment and move on from Bob

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon There are gentlemen in San Francisco that could find a place for you to shove that fist… better than circus... tops... hurr hurr…

Sally, you might not understand this, but Dr. Franz did you a favor.

#Monsterdon

somebody should be smol by now

I was promised people were gonna get smol

#monsterdon

lol, he shrank Bob....for the wrong reasons but the important thing is Bob isn't going to Vegas

#Monsterdon

Bert. Bert I've SEEN this movie before Bert. I've seen MOST of your movies, Bert, and Bert? Bert, it doesn't work.

#Monsterdon

(as the Heroine kisses Bob)

Oh come the fuck on girl!

#Monsterdon

OMG he has a creepy harlequin puppet too? he’s gonna turn his friend into a marionette, isnt he?

#monsterdon

...Shame on you, Bert I. Gordon. :/ #Monsterdon

The puppetmaster would be working in AI today, deffo....

#Monsterdon

Uh. Yeah, that's, uh. That's good. Thank you. #Monsterdon

With special guest Vladimir Lenin!

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

#monsterdon Out of the past and into my doll-making nightmare machine! Muahahahaha!

"How did you ever find me?"
"I looked for the highest concentration of missing persons reports."
#monsterdon

Okay I missed it. Why is the mail bag on a hook in his office?

#Monsterdon

Whe u r the smolest person in the elevator

#monsterdon

lol, he shrank the old mail man....

#Monsterdon

@lorgonumputz I hate bob #Monsterdon

Once again, fuck off bob!

#Monsterdon

the former secretary is the doll behind him, isn't it?

#Monsterdon

Quick - run away while the crazy guy is gone.

#Monsterdon

"Just take care of my accounts and..."

Manage my cuddle-pile... #Monsterdon

Be sure to tell the creepy doll maker that nobody will miss you. I'm sure that will end well. #monsterdon

Haunted doll watch! Bee-bee-be-Dee-Dee! Bee-bee-be-Dee-Dee!

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople #mbmbam

Might wanna stop by ACME Supplies and pick up a giant slingshot

Save yourself a trip

#Monsterdon

that guy was in a lot of twilight zones

#monsterdon

GENERAL OFFICE GIRL WANTED.

Clever re-use of the casting call, there.

#Monsterdon

They're so realistic

#monsterdon

this movie even has a theme song, “You are my living doll”.

yikes.

#monsterdon

...The factory in the high-rise? #Monsterdon

Oh hey, she's guiding a herd of tiny Susan B. Anthonies #Monsterdon

Ah, no theremin. :(

#monsterdon

In the Future we'll all be in tubes, naked and confused....

#MOnsterdon

It's the American International warning logo: The film may be kinda meh. #monsterdon

C'mon in here, Sensei's gonna give ya a SHOT

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Lady's gonna be like: "Doesn't anybody knock any more?"

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

HATCHET!!! whoop whoop!

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Sensei ain't gonna help ya, lass.

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

Lady you can break that glass, even if Igor IS downstairs...

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

She should go to town and find 7 Samurai....

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

@neia It’s not a good movie, but it’s a great *bad movie*. The Devil Girl chews the scenery and steals every scene she’s in. #monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

@nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret Interesting. He really did seem irredeemable, a kind of poison pill that wouldn't quit. And as I vaguely recall, the drama is the stupid family wouldn't just rid themselves of him, a kind of repeating cycle of abuse.

I don't know, the whole series was just playing on that boundary psychologically, not sure how it actually ended.

#monsterdon

(confused Genzo grunting)

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

This movie needs an oversized dog to be involved.

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

@hollie #monsterdon

some people still do that! either they send a clip of their voice, or they do voice-to-text.

@Lazarou @nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret I know, right? We were used to watching Mr. Rogers and falling asleep doing that. Kids see interpersonal family conflict, drama and betrayal in an amplified way probably because their universe centers on their parents?

#monsterdon

On the back of that disappointment, let's roll back to Devil Girl from Mars since I missed it the first time.

#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

They should call Triple-ア

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

I mean, she's probably also grieving....

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

OK, I think all of my replies for tonight's #Monsterdon were marked as unlisted, which doesn't show up in the hashtag feed.

@bk1e "Dollcore"

#Monsterdon

Would love to see a remake of this using the current slang meaning of the word doll. Now that would be fun!

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@jonny @arrjay "We Were Promised Giants"

Played for John Peel in 1989 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #puppetPeople1958 Is it just me, or did this movie manage to pass the Bechdel test?

I imagine Franz in jail, still with his cat-in-a-matchbox as his only companion.

At least that's *some* kind of ending.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

I don't understand how that dark threat of "all meet death" got turned into an amateurish marionette rehearsal. I think they must have realized that 1950's audiences were not prepared for depictions of carnage on Barbie-sized characters #monsterdon

Well, that was certainly a we-ran-out-of-film-please-leave-now ending. Kinda like slamming into a brick wall at 60.

Big thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's film. It was certainly ... small.

We had coffee, I think we had smoking in there but admittedly I was on the phone for part of the film.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

@nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret I think it was the empathy for the safety of family and robot with whatshisface betraying them all the time

#monsterdon

@Lazarou YES #Monsterdon

@paco When people ask her if her role was small, she can honestly say, "It wasn't the smallest role by a long shot."

#Monsterdon
#AttackOfThePuppetPeople

<Hey now, you're a doll star>

Thanks again @Taweret and #Monsterdon for another dose of kink served as b-movie cinema! I'm gonna go take a bath in a coffee can. Or a beer can.

...DON'T LEAVE ME; I'LL BE ALONE

🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🔊

I take it "Genzo" is Japanese for "Igor"

#monsterdon #WrongPuppets

@nazokiyoubinbou I don't care how white the girl is, nobody is believing that story!

#Monsterdon

And the others were never seen again. #monsterdon

That's right, driiiink that coffee 😠

#Monsterdon

@yatsu I know it's a Monstedon trope and all but......wow

#Monsterdon

So they uh...escaped BACK their prison, reversed the polarity on the woowoo machine and effed off to....wherever???

THE END

Huh. Okayyyy.

Perfectly normal ending yeah. The movie may not have climaxed but SIZE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT HONEST.

Thanks for the #Monsterdon @Taweret bad-but-amusing things really do come in smol packages!

just five more minutes to clear up some things, maybe a punch of the Puppet Master, that's what that ending needed

Sloppy

#Monsterdon

He's struggling to pull the puppet strings, but he could easily just pick Bob up 😂

#Monsterdon

IT'S MIRU TIME!!! #monsterdon

I got a BINGO!

#Monsterdon

I think a lot of people here might want to look into a show (70s I believe?) called Land of the Giants.

#Monsterdon

What happened to all the other Bobs?

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MatthewTitus88/115680816608361184

Thanks #monsterdon ers If you're interested/available at the top of the hour....Take care. See ya soon.

Would watch Bob vs Dr. Jekyll again
