wow there's actually a reason they don't talk????

#Monsterdon

Uh-oh, doesn't look good for the Bechdel test then #monsterdon

Clearly the librarians won, and have forced everyone into permanent silence.

OK finished transcoding - #monsterdon now with none fo the startlingly bad colorization and blocky encoding artifacts https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/aty9YiKXMTXCY6cLG9Movn

Imagine landing in 2024 and thinking we’d all died out because the offices are empty and you don’t know about WFH.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Ha, I recognize that tube prop from This Island Earth :D :D

He's gonna come out of the tube with magnetic hands :D #Monsterdon

Is it a punk band or an execution?

#monsterdon

they killed him with an interocitor :(

#Monsterdon

yooo that beard!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon that’s quite the contrasting backdrop art…

Sauron wants to know if this guy has the ring or not. #Monsterdon

His flight suit looks kind of like a mocap suit. :blobfox3c:

#Monsterdon

SOMEBODY TURN THE LIGHTHOUSES DOWN IT'S DAYTIME

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"look at the price of a gallon of gas!" #monsterdon

Homeboy had the misfortune of flying while the govt went off a fiscal cliff.
#monsterdon

...Wait, did they rip off the first Twilight Zone episode for this part of the movie? #Monsterdon

Why was there a piano in the military office?
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

Diegetic ominous piano noise! #monsterdon

Ah hell, he landed in somewhere between one and twelve episodes of The Twilight Zone

#Monsterdon

Unclear if this man is experiencing echoes of the past, or just remembering something. It probably doesn't matter.

#Monsterdon

Looks like the gimli airfield.
local jokes dont fly on fedi do they
#Monsterdon #Manitoba

Wow, conversation from just a few scenes ago!!
#Monsterdon

Suddenly a Last Man of Earth story? Or shoot there's a weird Australian movie where only three people are left cause of some device thing... And an old French film where everyone buy a handful are alseep. Curse you faulty memory.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

He’s got his stillsuit, so whatever happened here, he’s good for water at least. #Monsterdon

NOW it's getting interesting

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Damn, I bet I'm not getting any coffee here."

yup that's rural abandoned midwest US in 2024 #monsterdon

So in order to time travel you have to split from your astral projection apparently

#Monsterdon

the colorization is so good, it's giving flesh tones to everything but the people #monsterdon

X-80? That's what…5.3 times better than the X-15?

#monsterdon #beyondthetimebarrier

@Louisa convair? corvair? #monsterdon

whether clear or rain or snow or dark of night

this plane will deliver this man to the future

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

So it's a mixed power F-102 (called X-80) for suborbital silliness?

#monsterdon

THE SATELLOID

#Monsterdon

oh man, the fake Airforce technobabble is going HARD on this one.
#monsterdon

Now which air force is this footage from?

#monsterdon

scrolling like it's Star Wars taken over by Memeflip's overly shadowed IMPACT font

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

the real star of this movie is this airplane

i mean have you ever seen stock footage go this hard? so hard it goes into the FUTURE?

i didn't think so

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

A long time ago, in an Edwards Air Force Base far, far away.

@DancinJules #monsterdon Not sure it has a name other than "Star wars opening crawl" but apparently all the way back from 1939, Cecille B DeMille's "Union Pacific".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_opening_crawl

#Monsterdon make ARM CPU go brrrrrrrrr!

@Zerofactorial @DinosaurRobo I thought at first people were typo-ing and looked up "Trireme" and then the Wikipedia article for the spelling (people were right, Trireme is something else). #Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

#monsterdon oh his space plane ghost caught him, thats gonna have consequences

So I guess there are two ladies in the US and one in Italy going around with the name Trirene https://www.nameslook.com/trirene #monsterdon

@moira @diazona @paco Perhaps the real monster

was MAN #Monsterdon

@diazona @paco EXACTLY

we have no monster friend this time

#monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@paco @moira it's true we do generally make friends with the monster (or at least want to)

#Monsterdon

alright the movie was pretty standard but they really could have ended it when he got back in his ship, and instead to have him go back to 1960 and also become old and everything with only a few minutes left... i kinda respect it. idk if i would watch it again though #Monsterdon

@moira My conspiracy theory is that it went off to get the plague

#Monsterdon

I think Beyond the Time Barrier should actually be a company making Time Barriers that taste like meat but which aren't #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @DinosaurRobo I thought it was a _very_ gay Star Trek villain from the original series

#monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Man, imagine knowing about the coming environmental disaster and being powerless to do anything about it. Heh. Imagine.

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@DinosaurRobo Isn't Trirene a brand of fishing line? #monsterdon

OK neuromatchstodon and other fedi friends, it's sunday night, so you know what that means - you're about to hit #monsterdon, so if you want to remove it from your TLs you should add a filter for the hashtag, or else join us next week! https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon

The moral of this film is that in 2024 Earth has reached peak Dorkin's Circus #monsterdon

@jonny
I do genuinely love the rising electronic warble behind the orchestral drama... #monsterdon

can someone gif The Supreme facepalming? #monsterdon

american international was the monster all along

#monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@YsengrinWolf that’s how it works #monsterdon

@trixter @Taweret There may have been some fucking off into space though. I mean, we really don't know what happened to that second copy of the X-80 that dissociated during the time warp

#Monsterdon

a vision of a perilous future where there are triangles and people are kinda weird and off-putting #2024 #monsterdon

This affection I'm expressing is actually gratitude because the first 10 minutes of the movie had me convinced it was going to be 2/3 aviation stock footage by volume. But no, they actually made an entire movie! #monsterdon

@trixter

I guess we learned what happens when you fuck off into space instead of the sea #monsterdon

@trixter ugh

[fart noises]

#monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@socketwench Maybe the monsters were supposed to be the Morlocks? But yeah, that's what I guessed to my sister before the show, the monsters are us! #Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"gentlemen, we've got a lot to think about."
wooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
#monsterdon

ah, so the sets were all from an art exhibit left over from a world's fair

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "and these walls, are they not solid ehh... drywall?"

@moira The producers thought that a bald cap counted as monster costuming I GUESS #monsterdon

That was definitely a movie plot that felt like an episode of the 90s Outer Limits. And NO ONE fucked off into the sea at any point??? But lots of fun to talk about! Goodnight #monsterdon and thanks to @Taweret !

what if… this movie made the difference back then, pentacon thought about it and prevented triangle 2024? #monsterdon

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of #Monsterdon posts, a fediverse community movie event. See the post at the top of this thread for more info. Be prepared, the feed prior to this contains many posts about it!

Follow #MonsterdonAlert for event announcements if you want in, or mute the tag if you want out.

@Taweret Now I'm in suspense whether the next poll for #monsterdon film will result in a tie. Why is our community so FRACTURED?

Choose a side!

#monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for giving us all something to think about tonight!

#Monsterdon

a lot to think about?

#monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Cigarettes do a body good in the 60s.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

...okay wait was he supposed to look old at the end? In the colorized version it looked like he just got hecked up somehow and had weird growths around his face #Monsterdon

That was great. Thanks friends #monsterdon #beyondthetimebarrier

@blogdiva I'm thinking about that runoff vote we had to pick this film #monsterdon

One of the endings of all time. That's a wrap on #Monsterdon!

Just shy of a blackout in #MonsterdonBingo, I must have missed a few things with all the…well, there were things happening at some point in this movie. I've got a lot to think about.

#monsterdon hahaha oh WOW that was an unfortunate place for a theremin hit

edit: added CW

alright i guess we’ve all got a lot to think about, thanks all for an unintentionally hilarious #monsterdon and to @Taweret for hosting!

@rwg too late

#Monsterdon

Remember watch the skies. Beware the triangle shaped UFOS!!! #Monsterdon

@brooke and the doctor has a light! #Monsterdon

yeah, you *better* think about that ring..it proves..it's a ring...they have JEWELRY IN THE FUTURE!

#Monsterdon
#BeyondthetimeBarrier

"Hey, you said he was MUCH BETTER but he still looks terrible!" #Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

And, it's over. Not any sign of a sea, and the fleshy-headed mutants were pretty weak.

#Monsterdon

"I time traveled! Beware the cosmic plague!"

"Uh ...."

"Look, here's a ring I happen to be wearing."

That's convinced us. Now we've got a lot to think about.

#monsterdon

@Taweret I thought Trirene would have been more of a nose-ring girl #monsterdon

@strangefour It's two more

#Monsterdon

Triangle Man, Triangle Man
Triangle Man hates Particle Man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Man

#Monsterdon

In the fanfiction I'm writing in my head, Trirene and Markova grow up in a better world, pass the bechdel test together, and become girlfriends #Monsterdon

I think we all have a lot to think about, don't you?

#monsterdon
#BeyondTheTimeBarrier

and an elevator noise to THE END.

what the hell was that? #monsterdon
