#BeyondthetimeBarrier

Almost everyone here is deaf and you think knocking on a door is going to get you an answer?

#BeyondTheTimeBarrier #Monsterdon

those costumes, man, so many zippers. #monsterdon

thank god she’s good looking #monsterdon

Knocking don't work when the person inside is deaf, dude.

#Monsterdon

does that mans facial hair get its own credit for that acting

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon holy crap is that the management team from Plan 9's aliens?

THEY DESIRE YOUR BODILY FLUIDS, MAJOR #monsterdon

It's hard for this guy to tell the truth

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

I am still rooting for Trirene to get the D. #Monsterdon

So whose toupee did you glue to your chin? #Monsterdon

Triangular wipe! The triangles are all-pervasive, from the architecture to the cinematography. #monsterdon

#monsterdon unsettling triangles...

THE FUTURE YEAR 2024!!
Mankind started to work together once we got to the moon. Hmmmmm. Oh hey and they fucked up the Ozone layer.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

If the plague began in 1971, was it ... disco fever? #Monsterdon

According to imdb the general spells his name Kruse, not Cruz #monsterdon

I really like the elevator thingy.

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

those elevators must be PAINFUL to be in while operating #monsterdon

i'm a soldier, not a doctor!

#Monsterdon

a matte so nice they used it twice

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

Got a rare producer/actor combo with Richard Clarke #Monsterdon

Evil captain guy really delivers his lines in monologue. #monsterdon

That Texas drawl is just ... hilariously out of place.

#Monsterdon

schemin' schemin'

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@Taweret Indeed though I can't say I'm surprised to see it here given what I've come to expect from #Monsterdon

I mean this in the best possible way of course 😁

@splott Unfortunately he's military, not science #monsterdon

As a courtesy, we usually don't say or do anything during the 30 second door opening process. #monsterdon

@Taweret It goes seriously wrong in A Boy and His Dog. 😂

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"three turns of the earth,
that is three days"
thanks
#monsterdon

"In 1973, the blah blah blah..."
is this going to be on the test? #Monsterdon

BINGO #monsterdon

@sean Half the population was wiped out in the Great Disco Inferno. 😔 #monsterdon

wait a minute no YOU wait imma tell you about dust now
#Monsterdon

This is an awful lot of exposition. I'm sure it will all be very important.

#Monsterdon

Cosmic rays, really? You're blaming it on cosmic rays?

That must be, like, the neutrinos of the 60's

#Monsterdon

so, we fucked the ozone layer, space gave us the plague, and now nobody can have babies. great time. #monsterdon

This is some *heavy* exposition. -_- #Monsterdon

Goateed Bob Odenkirk gives us exposition #Monsterdon

the "ozone layer" lol?

#Monsterdon

steramute

#monsterdon

The plague of 1971 he's referring to is the Lobo song "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon. Is that a computer? Why aren't the lights blinking?

Same thing happened to Don Johnson when he had a talking dog

#monsterdon
#BeyondTheTimeBarrier

@Taweret OMG seriously

#Monsterdon

Post apocalyptic future, but explicitly not nuclear war, nice.

#monsterdon

Speed suit lady has a nice look too. Commanding and scientific air about her. She's eyeing him up like a piece of meat.
TISH! YOU SPOKE!
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

@splott Maybe he wanted to know whether she was cis or trans? Rude way to ask, though #monsterdon

all nations started to work together when we landed on the moon. wow, sometimes you just have to sit back and think about how optimistic the 50s and 60s were... #monsterdon

yo! you're gonna be the stud they're gonna milk til the cows come home.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"...the plague began in 1971"
"what caused it?"
"the records are unclear, but it appears to have been a side effect of something they called ... disco"

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

...So this movie is just The Time Travellers but with an Air Force pilot. #Monsterdon

No, YOU wait!
#Monsterdon

@Lazarou because it is 2024! #Monsterdon

This Major is really slow on the uptake. He’s a bit of an idiot. #Monsterdon

Ah, filmed at the Texas State Fair in a Centennial exhibit build in the 1930s. Who knew Texas was so futuristic?

#monsterdon #beyondthetimebarrier

no births here for 50 years, yeah the universe is trying to correct its mistakes. #monsterdon

I get it, this is a movie about the effectiveness of masking during a pandemic #monsterdon

Time travelers are always so slow-witted.

Serious Marty McFly syndrome here. #monsterdon

I went to refill my water bottle and I have no idea what happened while I was gone, but I heard a noise that sounded like someone trying to play the pan pipes on a roller coaster coming from my TV room. #monsterdon

BOINKING!

#monsterdon

Film started a long way from passing the Bechdel Test and somehow it's getting *further* away - even with the surprise addition of a speaking (!) female character. #monsterdon

'female'
ugh throw the whole movie out
#Monsterdon

@jonny Though I think they didn't even know he was from 1960 yet

#Monsterdon

what kind of female are you?
ummm. butterscotch ripple??

#Monsterdon
#BeyondthetimeBarrier

wait is that a woman who can speak?! #Monsterdon

I'm not getting blackout on this bingo, since one square is about passing the bechdel test. #monsterdon

Wow, so apparently these big inverted pyramids WERE all constructed for the film!

For the extensive interior shots, there were no large, professional soundstages available so the crew built sets and filmed at the Texas Centennial Fairgrounds in Dallas, where large halls had been erected for the 1936 event. Clarke noted that "the big, barn-like structures looked like warehouses, and somebody had the bright idea that we could use them as soundstages and shoot our underground city scenes there. The only problem was that, when you spoke in those large, empty buildings, your voice sounded as though you were in a giant cave or deep well. The sound man was resourceful, though, and he had the production crew hang a lot of old Air Force surplus parachutes all around to absorb some of the sound."

#monsterdon

RADIO NOISES INTENSIFY #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Me-ROOWWW! (slap)

Their elevator technology has a severe lack of triangles.
#Monsterdon #BeyondTime

showing up in 2024 and you ain’t know about the dang plague… #monsterdon

Called it.
Breeding the hot guy.
#Monsterdon

#ThirstyLady alert! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon was this set an arrested development or was it an actual weapons test site

"What kind of female are you?" wow

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Damn you all to HELL! #Monsterdon

Welp time to get catty i guess. #Monsterdon

I thought these people couldn't speak

#monsterdon

"What is this plague I keep earing about?"
I KEEP TELLING YOU. <points at sign saying "COVID19">
#monsterdon

Well that was a weird...handshake? #monsterdon

"...1960?"
"are you ........ a hippie?"

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

do not excite yourself! you pathetic...ahem, i mean.. >.>
#Monsterdon
#BeyondthetimeBarrier

1960!? He's never heard Oingo Boingo! #monsterdon

their language has evolved to say "three turns of the earth" but still retain the word "days" as an equivalent and know that's what one from 1960 would use. so there is a strong linguistic pressure to be extremely inefficient with your words in the future where many people do not speak #monsterdon

that person with the white jumpsuit in the bg is stealing this scene and they haven't said or done a damn thing. #monsterdon

"Listen, Joe, you built a great elevator. It's fast, clean and efficient. But it's missing something..."

"How 'bout we add a high-pitched scream?"

"Perfect!"

#Monsterdon

what was that wildly swinging projector in the cage
#monsterdon

@brooke written english couldn't possibly have survived 64 years into the future #Monsterdon

"time has very little meaning here" is one of the worst things you can hear during a movie. #monsterdon

"I want to crank you three times." The hand-waving in most amusing.

#Monsterdon

professor boredman

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

#Monsterdon The elevator doesn't have a triangle door? Weird.

Love the elevator.
And the jumpsuits.#monsterdon

If people can't speak, they don't have lines, and if they don't have lines, they don't have to be expensive actors.

#monsterdon

i think she's saying "three orange whips"

#Monsterdon

"...that's sign for _time is a flat circle_"

#Monsterdon #BeyondTheTimeBarrier

I wouldn't mind that elevator noise

#Monsterdon
