This movie needs an oversized dog to be involved.

@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

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 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

🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🔊

they really couldn't make a genuinely dark movie in the 50s could they, like the ending that they were setting up was actually that the doll guy just kills himself in the theater and all the dolls have to reckon with their lives after imprisonment. him surviving and presumably facing justice in the courts is a huge cop-out #monsterdon

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

@jonny "fuck off to the police station" is probably not a good idea

#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

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

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

And boom, it's over. Sudden Ending.

Screw all the other mini people wherever they are.

#Monsterdon

That’s the end? Really?

#Monsterdon

Good grief... 🙄

#Monsterdon

lol, make yourselves 50% bigger and tear him apart

#MOnsterdon

what what what happened to the others? and Franz? gnaah #monsterdon

"policeman abducts girl guide"

#Monsterdon

Wait, did the girl know the whole time??
#Monsterdon

looks like someone earned her snitch badge

#monsterdon

unexpected scouting uniform is unexpected

#Monsterdon

Trojan Horse Attack of the Puppet People? #monsterdon

Why is the girl outside the doll shop at like 6am?

#monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

I'm really curious why they bothered to hang on and show the guy loading three or four more boxes on his dolly before cutting to the next scene.

#monsterdon

gotta appreciate their skills in getting back to the doll factory

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne The Cowering of the Puppet People didn't have the same ring.

#monsterdon

true dumbass move sneaking back INTO the doll prison #monsterdon

#monsterdon the dramatic music while normal animals do their normal activities is pretty good

#Monsterdon What is it, boy? Tiny people?

Egads, more giant rats! Flashbacks to The Food of the Gods (1976)

#monsterdon

YES! ATTACK!

#monsterdon

@ohiofi #monsterdon

Ain't no lie, I was just looking up that image too!

A full sized man dressed up as a string puppet is a horror movie staple

#Monsterdon

@xerozohar

What's the opposite of "kaiju"?

#Monsterdon

@paco #monsterdon

Now you're thinking outside of the box!

lord, AND they have to sit through his horrible puppet show too? is nothing too far for this guy?

#monsterdon

They could just run away now

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

@trixter WE HAVE A THEME! #Monsterdon

Coffee is... not served

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

yikes that suitcase needs some serious seatbelts.

#Monsterdon

RIGHT into the trash. Rocket surgeons they ain't. #Monsterdon

what's the biggest paper aeroplane that you made as a child?

#MOnsterdon

"If I was just my old size for 5 minutes!"

Me, putting on pants that aren't pajama-based

#Monsterdon

Wonder what happened to these novelty oversized props? You think Bert kept them? #Monsterdon

Kill ‘em all and let Bob sort it out

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

OK, so the guys are shaving... which implies that hair grows during this state of suspended animation they enter when they're bottled..?

I have a great many questions

#monsterdon

Miniature Chocolates

@blogdiva

Unfortunately the tiny bazooka will only bounce off him

#Monsterdon

Hurrryyy!!

This movie is too suspenseful and stressful for me. 😓

#Monsterdon

ahhh, so this about Loneliness?

#Monsterdon

dude! you should put them all in balls instead of tubes! Then you can throw them out and have them battle each other like Pokemon!!!

#monsterdon

so is dr doll a former Nazi #monsterdon

lol, going on the run with his doll collection....

#Monsterdon

Almost let the cat out of the bag, there.

#Monsterdon

So who gets Dollified first, Emile or the sergeant? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Also eerily like The Incredible Shrinking Woman... Galaxy Glue!

That high pitched sound you hear is just my squeeing.

Apologies.

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople #pocketcats

Susie got run over, but was it by a reindeer?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

This jazz is *super* square for 1958!

#Monsterdon

I feel like you need to stop using the doll-making machine to try to solve your problems

#Monsterdon #PuppetPeople1958

If their hopes are on that cop.....oh dear....

#Monsterdon

I guess this was before the era of dialing 911

#Monsterdon

"aww well, back in the tubes we go"

#Monsterdon

I gotta admit, the pacing in this movie is pretty good.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

#Monsterdon 🎎🎎🎎👨‍🔬💑👮😱
#PuppetPeople1958

honestly sad that it looks like I got a bingo without 'someone gets punched in the face'

#monsterdon Obviously, this is in the same cinematic universe as Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman!

PREPARE THE APPARATUS

#monsterdon

The ray is just going to shoot over him

#monsterdon #attackofthepuppetpeople

@davesdogmaggie and they were all POWERED BY THE ATOM #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Scale and proportion had not been invented yet.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfThePuppetPeople

#Monsterdon “Nobody can hear little people like us.” So they’ve veered into US politics then?

"you ladies stay behind"

jfc Bob

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait until he puts you in his pants. When you hear the zipper, then RUN!!!

yeah, the Marine could kill him in hand-to-hand combat?!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Hey, what happened to the cat? WHO is watching the cat!?!

#monsterdon

[audio clipping]

#Monsterdon

So uh there's the theme song, I guess. It's. A song. I guess.
