I love the way this movie looks!
#Monsterdon

@ryan This fulfills a need we didn’t even know we had #Monsterdon

2nd hit for luck #monsterdon

This vehicle for travel on the moon is a steampunk yellow submarine! I want one! #Monsterdon

and that's another #monsterdon in the books- thanks to @Taweret for hosting what has become my favorite thing about Mastodon, and looking forward to next week's movie

and it was suddenly over

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Concerning that they forgot how the moon works #monsterdon

@mtklr Those ill-fitting bathing cap helmets don’t enhance the space teams’ look of competence #Monsterdon

science facts #monsterdon movies have taught us:

>reptiles are a member of the snake family

>if you want something to float up in the air, simple freeze it

It's the future year of...
SPACE 1965
#MONSTERDON

@Taweret and definitely fun with a crowd. thanks again for hosting! #monsterdon

And they all lived happily ever after (except for the guy they left on the Moon) #monsterdon

every talks about how george lucas ripped off hidden fortress and no one talks about how he ripped off battle in outer space but damn if he didn't

#monsterdon

Hmm. That was fun, even with the goofy looking moon mobiles.
Better than just about any other old alien invasion movie. Except War of the Worlds (1953). And Godzilla vs Monster Zero. Cause Godzilla.
#MONSTERDON

Fun movie!
Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social and everyone #Monsterdon See you next week!

Isn't that just like video games. You spend $20 in quarters to defeat the mothership then it's just OVER. #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

thanks everyone again for another great #monsterdon & @Taweret for organizing!

Yaaaaay, humanity has won yet again! Time to go look up local regulations on model rockets... #Monsterdon

That movie delivered everything I hoped for in spades. Thanks again for another fun time watching models explode! #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

well that escalated and deescalated quickly #monsterdon

That was awesome! Great fun, and first #monsterdon

Hope to catch future ones!

"Target destroyed. Ok here's my wife and kid, I'm out."

#monsterdon

Well that deescalated suddenly #monsterdon

♪♫ Thiiis Islaaaand EEAAAAAAAARTH ♫♪ #monsterdon

And like so many of these movies it's suddenly OVER. THE END! #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

loving the model work and these up-plosions #monsterdon

Can't have a #Monsterdon movie without destroying a bridge!

kind of impossible not to think of Star Wars in these sequences, but this is 18 years earlier #monsterdon

this honestly looks so much better than most american scifi films at the time did

#monsterdon

this movie does deliver on the space battles

#monsterdon

LOL I thought the unrealistic part of the movie was wienermobile hovercrafts with ray guns on the moon, but then all the nations of earth set aside their differences and united against a common enemy 😂 😂 😂 #monsterdon

"It's so sad..." and everybody else is just like, "...Eh." #Monsterdon

Wow, they really didn't try to talk him out of it, did they?

#Monsterdon

thinking about how im probably never gonna get to drive the weinermobile on the surface of the moon and now im sad

#monsterdon

Great. Number 2 is scattered all over the moon now. #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

not enough movies are about Oscar Meyer Wienermobiles taking on UFOs with rayguns in space these days #monsterdon

Cool how the rovers are equipped with "air cushions", just in case they found part of the moon with atmosphere.

#monsterdon

They produced these weinermobiles using advanced streetcleaner technology. #monsterdon

what if the moon creatures weren't even related to the aliens. it's quite possible they were just living there #monsterdon

Oh shit. Ths cave is infested with Jawas.
They melt surprisingly easily.
#MONSTERDON

I don't mind the space-suited ewoks, but do they have to make sounds like styrofoam being rubbed together D: #monsterdon

they're gonna have to ride the enemy spaceships home, aren't they #monsterdon

"...well, there goes our ride"

#monsterdon

like there's BARELY a narrative here but everything looks so damn cool

#monsterdon

The aliens are proto-teletubies.

#monsterdon

"There must be some way to destroy it..."

Oh, did they not bring weapons? That was probably a mistake.

You know, for a sabotage mission.

#monsterdon

I'm getting a ton of 500 internal server errors when I try to toot, and I suspect the aliens are behind it #monsterdon

incredible moon sets honestly #monsterdon

i love the classic flying saucers too

#monsterdon

pretty progressive to include women in the mission, and not leave them on the ship #monsterdon

movie good guys are always terrible at tying people up.
#monsterdon

Okay the shot of the Earth does look really cool.
#MONSTERDON

like this movie is really dumb but every frame of it looks like an illustration from a 50s scifi magazine and that's cool as hell

#monsterdon

THEY HAVE TWO WIENER MOBILES!!
#MONSTERDON

@socketwench I think we now know what happened to this thing after it disappeared in 1958 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Snow_Cruiser #monsterdon

the space wagon model was the cutest shit #monsterdon

Great. They brought a submarine to a moon landing #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

They brought a hot dog bus on the other ship!

#monsterdon

Don't say "point of impact" when you mean "landing spot"! Geez.

#monsterdon

@apLundell #monsterdon

we have an image of the aliens' moonbase sir! #monsterdon

so are these the same aliens from the Mysterians?

#monsterdon

Yeah. Yeah. Don't approach the moon, don't look behind the curtain, don't put a fork in the toaster... #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

the alien ship looks weird and cool

#monsterdon

Oh the alien ships are nuclear powered McNuggets! Spooky. #monsterdon

So the good guys have a heat ray and the bad guys have a cold ray gun?

#monsterdon

are the ray guns steam-powered? #monsterdon

Outer space slapfights just hit different. If you know you know. #monsterdon

"...gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the ray gun room!"

#monsterdon

No, you madman! That's too much hops! You'll ruin the entire batch! #monsterdon

If the bad guys can remotely implant electronics in people, it's weird that they have to.

#Monsterdon

"remember there's no gravity on this ship. now, evcuse me, while i walk across the room normally"

#monsterdon

How come that one guy doesn't have to wear his football helmet? #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

Lmao dude smashing his face with his hands trying to emulate high acceleration #monsterdon

nobody told me there’d be zero gravity in space!! #monsterdon

There's no gravity on this ship! Despite that fact, we're all walking around totally normally! #Monsterdon

Nice of them to paint a red stripe on one ship so we can tell them apart.

#monsterdon

Oh no! He's floating! He must be cold!

#monsterdon

"You have to remember, there's no gravity on this ship!" *walks away* #monsterdon

practical effects: just stretch your face back with your hands, we can't afford to put anyone in a centrifuge! #monsterdon

Having a strange urge to build a model rocket now. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Dude, did you just use your hands to pull back your face to simulate G-forces?

they hadn't invented leaf blowers i guess, so you had to do it manually
#monsterdon

Why does the rocket have FFE on its fin? My interpretation is not wholesome #monsterdon

They really REALLY need a better name than "Number 2" ship. #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

Was it actually explained why sending some emergency missions to the moon is a solution for an alien attack on a space station? #monsterdon

Good job having flight suits. Most films from this era don't bother and just put them in street clothes or generic military uniforms.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Hey, if you don't come back. Can I have your Godzilla action figures?

@cheribaker look if we learned anything from rodan it’s that they might have deadly jets you need to duck #monsterdon

"Mankind has lived on the Earth for the past 500,000 years! Prior to that, we lived in Fresno." #monsterdon

ducking prevents flying saucers from getting you

#monsterdon #feditips

@Taweret try hiding under a desk, that'll work #monsterdon

we all have to duck because there's a flying saucer

#monsterdon

If only they had a kaiju to fight the flying saucer #monsterdon

Again: It could be radioactive. Everyone get as close as you can. #monsterdon #battleinouterspace

why do you keep letting this guy get a gun #monsterdon

Good thing they had a machine for dropping a heavy weight in the middle of a walkway.

#monsterdon

I'm rooting for mister plain red cap.

#monsterdon

"...this spaceship was built by .... committee!"

#monsterdon

I'm starting to suspect this guy is not really a scientist.

#monsterdon
