okay props to the location scout for finding proper and trashed versions of the tower and hangers, that's actually good scouting
@phoutz Used to be called Twitter-80 #monsterdon
Woowoowooweeweeewoowoo! :blobrainbow: #Monsterdon
@jonny I decided to rock the colorized version with the saturation turned all the way down in VLC. It ain't half bad!
And the theremin swells ... something spacy/timey must be happening!
#Monsterdon I used to live in Nevada. Wrong airstrip. That's area 51
@bunnyhero the faces are patchy half caucasian-skin-color and half grey, and it sort of wobbles around 😵💫 #monsterdon
Multi-verse!
Oh no, did he break the Time Barrier‽‽
#Monsterdon
Warbling electronic science-noises. Clearly this flight is going *brilliantly*. And now, to land at an ominously quiet airfield... #monsterdon
Also I adore 60s Sci fi sounf effects #monsterdon
the pilot’s one cool cookie #monsterdon
The early tests of the Farscape project were strange and primative.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime
We’re going the distance. We’re going for speed. #Monsterdon
In space, no one can hear you theremin. #monsterdon
Oh oh. We have Theremins!
The manly rocket has just gone non-binary #monsterdon
The Colonel is giving me Gomer Pyle vibes (the Kubrick one, that is) #Monsterdon
@phoutz It's probably just 5.3 X-15s in a trenchcoat
@strangefour Back then if you didn’t mention Jesus in your movie McCarthy came after you. #Monsterdon
This is totally what I came for. #Monsterdon
TWO planes? what a bargain!
"I'm not sure." What a wooden delivery.
Whoops, he hit a theremin in space. #Monsterdon
The "Lord" in question of course is Brimulax, patron demon of the air force, granter of wings to the earthbound. #monsterdon
oh great now the plane has a transporter clone
You need to deploy those stabilizers before you fire the rocket engines, or it won't look enough like a space-ship.
#Monsterdon "No pain, no strain"??? What kind of saying is that? Is this some Air Force thing about bowels under G-Forces?
Once again, unironically love the flying in space effects #monsterdon
*What is it, Major?"
"A plot device, sir. It should clear in a moment."
#Monsterdon
@bunnyhero W sez that's what you get when you ride your horse too much. #Monsterdon
Theres a concerned aerospace vibe.
Serious faces watching a line wiggle on a monitor.
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon He's going all the way? I didn't think there would be so much sexy talk.
Airplane effects are not good. 😂 #Monsterdon
Just getting roaring rockets in the vacuum of space. #Monsterdon
oo, those are some fancy, space-y stabilizers. 👍 #monsterdon
"And the lord be with you, over."
Is this a secret Jesus movie?
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime
... with extra unfolding space-wings! Which ... surely won't do anything in vacuum. #monsterdon
Space planes are cool though. Kerbal-approved.
#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon
"Proceeding with phase #2a"
"When you're ready kid"
Potty training videos are weird in the 60s. #monsterdon
@bunnyhero it's genuinely kind of painful... I don't think a human took the time to try and smooth out whatever the AI thought it was doing frame by frame. and like. it does feel like it's been differently colorized frame by frame 😵💫 #Monsterdon
In space nobody can hear you scream, but they can hear you whoosh.
Love the stabilizers
#monsterdon
fake rocket that's just compressed air yeaaaaah love this shit
o/~ Here's to the guys and gals who like to fly
Flying so high with some guy in the sky

angle of flight 85 degrees, but the clouds are also angled at 85 degreees, so maybe check your instruments. #monsterdon
Airplane cutout reaching 8000 feet! #Monsterdon
"...now cutting in the Flash Gordon engine"
we have monotonous number reading!!! that's scifi babey!!!!!
Aiming for an altitude of 100 miles! At 5000 miles per hour! Such wondrous (and suborbital) technologies! #monsterdon
@rwg Yeah, he saw it and said, "Don't do it that way" :P #Monsterdon
Atomic batteries to power... Turbines to speed... #Monsterdon
Major, could we turn the rest of the lights on this room? #monsterdon

🎞️ Avoid setting a scene with two people in front of a mirror. Your camera tech will likely be seen in the mirror, like in
#BeyondTheTimeBarrier.
HEY that's a lawn dart!
Wait. I've seen this. He's going to end up with a robot buddie named Tweekie.
Chalkboard to takeoff five minutes. Another well thought out mission. #Monsterdon
Fun fact: this film had a major influence on Nolan's vision for Oppenheimer #Monsterdon
Im seeing graphs. Im seeing uniforms. Some flavour of academic rizz.
#Monsterdon
Colorizing looks... okay. But lavender keeps popping in out of nowhere. Which does kinda look cool since it's next to all the blues.
Is this gonna be all about jet pilots?
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime
@brooke Kind of impressive it goes that high
This shot is the filmmakers gratefully acknowledging the cooperation of the US Air Force... With tongue :P #Monsterdon
Flight suit goes "squeak squeak squeak squeak" as he walks. FREE THE FLIGHT SUIT SQUIRRELS #monsterdon
#monsterdon did he say "Sataloid"?
The way he emphasized “a MAN in orbit”? Also extremely gay. #Monsterdon
Sci babble tiiiime! (With bonus Sci babble doodles!) #monsterdon
They made him wear his g suit during the meeting? Harsh. #Monsterdon
ask your doctor about satelloids #monsterdon
They're going to Satelloids in 2024!
god can you imagine humans in space
this time im on time for #Monsterdon but my robot ent done cleaning the floor yet so i cant hear anything until hes done

"Who Knows?" is not reassuring.
I'm dropping the contrast and brightness on the archive.org torrent colorized version #monsterdon

The Sattleoid?
"We know the X80 is capable of speeds of 500,000 miles per hour."
Great! How fast do I have to go to escape the movie?
drawing monsters and watching #monsterdon
This concludes the demonstration of the new blackboard. #monsterdon
i'm watching in black and white, i'm missing out on colourization weirdness #monsterdon
Time to fly... IN SPACE! #Monsterdon
"One hundred miles above the earth, gentlemen."
That's international waters, so that's when you take out the magic mushrooms. #Monsterdon
Yes, I will attend this briefing in a G-suit. Not a fetish thing at all.
ALLISON IN SPAAAACE!
#monsterdon really enjoying the lavender fighter jet and the starwars crawl. Going by the trailer we can expect to see some Lucasfilm inspirational wipes as well
#Monsterdon What kind of desk set up is that? There's no COFFEE CUP! Not a fantastic start. #CoffeeWatch
i don't think he's only after your job sir, be careful that you don't both get a dishonorable discharge, this is the 60s ya know. #monsterdon
air force gimp suits are the best gimp suits
Let me check my watch for the barrier...
Going out for lunch together at the club? This movie is already extremely gay. #Monsterdon
love that 60s b-movie understated dialogue
Oh hey he ACTUALLY DOES have the Poopy Suit! #Monsterdon
@forestine That's just the time barrier, it messes with colors you know
these men are flirting #Monsterdon
Back in the day, when bolts were properly installed on all the airplane doors.
That's Air Force living! As they say, the first thing they build is the officers club
#monsterdon
Get your poopy suit. #Monsterdon
Nothing like some rousing obo music to get ya pumped. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Tonight @k8eb and I are watching the black-and-white version from Archive.org. I checked at the local video store: to my surprise they didn't have a copy on hand! (This is very unusual, their catalog is immense.) They had access to a DVD copy they could order, but... I don't think we'll watch this one twice.
(Interesting Star Wars slanted vertical scroll for the intro credits there!)
acid operations are across the street
@CactuarJoe I wasn’t sure if the plane was slowly taxiing or if it was an optical illusion. #Monsterdon
