wow there's actually a reason they don't talk????
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 weβd all died out because the offices are empty and you donβt 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?
they killed him with an interocitor :(
yooo that beard!
#Monsterdon thatβs quite the contrasting backdrop artβ¦
Sauron wants to know if this guy has the ring or not. #Monsterdon
His flight suit looks kind of like a mocap suit. :blobfox3c:
SOMEBODY TURN THE LIGHTHOUSES DOWN IT'S DAYTIME
"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
Unclear if this man is experiencing echoes of the past, or just remembering something. It probably doesn't matter.
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
Heβs got his stillsuit, so whatever happened here, heβs good for water at least. #Monsterdon
NOW it's getting interesting
#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
the colorization is so good, it's giving flesh tones to everything but the people #monsterdon
X-80? That's whatβ¦5.3 times better than the X-15?
@Louisa convair? corvair? #monsterdon
whether clear or rain or snow or dark of night
this plane will deliver this man to the future
So it's a mixed power F-102 (called X-80) for suborbital silliness?
THE SATELLOID
oh man, the fake Airforce technobabble is going HARD on this one.
#monsterdon
Now which air force is this footage from?
scrolling like it's Star Wars taken over by Memeflip's overly shadowed IMPACT font
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
A long time ago, in an Edwards Air Force Base far, far away.
π‘ TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS π‘
(where applicable)
#Monsterdon Well it didnβt pass the Bechdel test and there was no coffee. I really liked the lighting in this shot though. Another fantastic Sunday night!

@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
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
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
Man, imagine knowing about the coming environmental disaster and being powerless to do anything about it. Heh. Imagine.
@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
@YsengrinWolf thatβs how it works #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
I guess we learned what happens when you fuck off into space instead of the sea #monsterdon
@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 "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

@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!
Thanks to @Taweret for giving us all something to think about tonight!
a lot to think about?
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 theβ¦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 weβve all got a lot to think about, thanks all for an unintentionally hilarious #monsterdon and to @Taweret for hosting!
@rwg too late
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!
"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.
"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.
@Taweret I thought Trirene would have been more of a nose-ring girl #monsterdon
@strangefour It's two more
Triangle Man, Triangle Man
Triangle Man hates Particle Man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Man
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?
and an elevator noise to THE END.
what the hell was that? #monsterdon
