@bunnyhero Oh this is good. If a mere leopard can be a #monsterdon monster, why not a house cat.
@That_Damn_Frank Well I do NOW! #earworm #monsterdon
Tonightβs #monsterdon as a board game.
Does anyone else hear "The Purina Song"?
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
β« Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! Maul...! β«
@Terencio @diazona @Taweret we'll have to keep an eye out to see if it shows up anywhere. it's been released on blu-ray in the past few years, so you never know #monsterdon
Actually, when I wrote the song "Cop Killer", I was basing it on the Sex Pistols' cover of the Modern Lovers' "Road Runner". Johnny Rotten apparently didn't know the words. So the lyric I tooted earlier was the whole thing.
If SA! did actual songs, I'd have to insist we record it, but we don't.
What a way to go. Cat Chow...
@bunnyhero Wow, that is, uh, that is something!
I think I have the perfect antidote to queue up afterward: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1825683/
(I swear I just happened to be at this point in my watch-through of the Marvel movies anyway)
@resl woohoo! Mission accomplished, #Monsterdon is great at that. Looking forward to seeing you in the future!
@srol
MORE hornier?
#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957
@apLundell They cast extra roles in the film as a way to make work for struggling actors in 1957 Britain #monsterdon
If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie-watching event. This week we watched THE CAT GIRL (1957). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:
@amyfou thanks for sharing this, i love learning these fun trivia bits at the end of #monsterdon <3
@apLundell I think it was the cage with the leopard that she wasn't allowed to see. #Monsterdon
@ramsey I am afraid that that is accurate #monsterdon
(I somehow missed #Monsterdon today. I am crushed π’)
@amyfou No need. The article you linked to says "He featured in such films as Cat Girl with the Hollywood superstar actor Barbara Shelley."
Neat find!
@amyfou "Chiefy the Leopard waits outside the Savoy Hotel in London after he was denied entry"
That photo has a "rock legend perp photo" vibe to it. Poor Chiefy.
@moira Turns out the only thing more powerful than the Great Unknowable Beyond is a goddamn Ford Focus >_> #Monsterdon
@kshernandez or so AI says #Monsterdon
@ramsey @moira Maybe they liked that part where she sits up in bed sans PJs #monsterdon
@moira and it wasn't even a jaguar! #monsterdon
@strangefour May? Try tomorrow
@amyfou The essential thing established in the first 16 minutes was that everyone was married, everyone hated their spouse, and with the exception of Uncle Creepy and Aunt Igor, everyone wanted to shag someone else.
#Monsterdon
I wish somebody had stuck a pistol in their pants, so there would've been a chance of something interesting happening.
@moira They were all men.
@Zerofactorial @Taweret Oh, to be fair, I think I tuned that bit out.
"This cat was banned from both MACYs And Harrods. They say she took a chunk out of Kim Cattrall too."
@rebeld @Taweret I feel worse about the poor canary #monsterdon
@ramsey @gnomon oh. Maybe you need to find the directors cut #Monsterdon
@lytta She was saved by Catholicism #monsterdon
@apLundell Great questions. Alas, they will never be answered.
Muy bella Barbara Shelley. Y quΓ© capacidad para expresar cosas a travΓ©s de su mirada
@strangefour i'll remember Barbara Shelley but that's about it #monsterdon
My #letterboxd review for this said it was pretty meh, two and a half stars mainly for Leonora's wardrobe https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/cat-girl/ #monsterdon
So, what we learned on tonight's #monsterdon kids? That Leonora has a bad taste for men.
actually did expect better out of this one which is why i'm a little surly
some of the contemporary reviews were pretty good
and those reviewers were LIARS
"But uncle! I'm really not into 'hot wax play'..."
@gnomon It wasn't exactly a hard call π I think you also had the right idea with cutting off when they ran out of money
Always a shame to see that little traffic cone on a Sunday night but all good things come to an end. Thank you to the entirety of the #monsterdon community for being by far one of the highlights of my week.
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Thank you @Taweret for hosting this psychological scratching post for us!
and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite was Man Gets Flirty π¬
And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: You really had your claws out in tonight's tootstream! Wipe those feathers off your chin!
π¨ Reminder: There is Monsterdon Gear here!:
https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/monsterdon-doodles-color
I'm calling it, that was the biggest letdown of a cat video on the internet
The food - I mean feed - was great as always though! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everybody for post(scratch)ing. Feline excited for next week!
i guess the good news is that old lady Anna survived
Kitty knows dinnertime is next up now that we are no longer cackling at ridiculous movies, but this was a short one so he's still got 40 min πΏπΏπΏ #monsterdon #thecatgirl
I know it makes me a cad, but I honestly suspect that psychiatrist had ulterior motives in sending his wife on a date with Cat Girl
@Newpa_Hasai @blogdiva My kind of place!
Yay it's over!
Well, gotta say, that was droll and misogynistic, and I cared about no one except the big kitty, and then it got hit by a car (unfair!)
Regardless, it was fun to be subjected to it in the company of fellow #monsterdon peeps.
Thank you all, and special thanks to @Taweret for organizing.
@gnomon I'm sure you'll change your tune when it has a very strong ending, as #Monsterdon movies always do
@blogdiva But with lots of pubs!
@Lazarou Thatβs it in a nutshell #Monsterdon
I stamped more squares than usual, but didn't get a bingo!
the only nice part of this was being 69 minutes
@s20 This one's gonna itch when it dries.
#monsterdon Well, no part of that made any sense at all.
@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret I'm skeptical this was anywhere in the same universe as "interesting" π
#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957
Excellent selection!
Not kidding, I really enjoyed that. π
They wonβt even arrest the guy for potentially killing her? #monsterdon
I'm gonna try that line if I ever get pulled over for speeding.
#Monsterdon
That really was a movie! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting :) <3
Well that wasn't horrible. Just a bit disappointing. Please remake it with more polyamory, more kills, and a half decent wereleopard woman fursuit nightmare scene.
#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957
@CoachJZ to be fair have you tried being cursed and waiting 700 years
...it probably wouldn't make a difference TBH
Cat girl can have a little canary, as a treat
so dorothy and the psych live... both of them were cheating emotionally, one of them was cheating physically, and the other gaslit a woman
so i guess they deserve each other???
There wasn't a lot bad with that, but there wasn't a lot good with that, either.
Barbara Shelley did some great acting, I thought. Dorothy was a good character, but she wasn't very fleshed out. Everyone else was wooden.
Brian should have been eaten, and Dorothy and Leonora should have driven off into the night, like feline Thelma and Louise!
That hour felt like 3 hours. How did they do it?!? #Monsterdon #catgirl1957
@socketwench abandon the patriarchy become cat girl
#monsterdon
I did get a bingo out of it at least
#monsterdon When does Batman make an appearance?
Jeeze. Just when the movie was getting interesting they freaking hit it with a car. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! I'm heading to the pub. #Monsterdon #CatGirl
getting away with vehicular homocide by being like "if i told you why it looks like i hit that person you'd have to lock me up," incredible 1957 maneuver #monsterdon
#monsterdon Apologies, _this_ is about as risquΓ© as any British film from the era got :giggity:?
If I try to explain it now, you'd probably detain me for observation
Sounds like somebody who needs to be detained for observation tbh, maybe slapped around a bit, since that's how patients are treated
@SnoopJ π’
"It's something to do with the conquest of mind over matter." #Monsterdon #catgirl1957
@lytta Does, doesn't it? I get the feeling the doctor's gonna be making out a few custom confinement orders for London's finest over there >_> #Monsterdon
I guess technically that's bingo? It feels wrong though
So, it ended huh?
#monsterdon
And that's why some #monsterdon movies just end
If the movie can't explain why her raincoat is in his car's grill, I don't think he should be expected to. #monsterdon
Near.
Far.
Near.
Far.
Thatβs one chonky leopard #monsterdon
I'm barely sure that qualifies as a movie
@CactuarJoe i think the cops are cleaning his car (also returning it) because he's an affluent and potentially influential guy... it has a distinct 'exchange of favors' feel to it
I kinda hate that ending. #monsterdon I wanted her to live happily ever after with her emotional support cat.
OMG, the cops are worthless. #Monsterdon
i personally would be a little more upset that my psychiatrist husband knew there was someone that wanted to kill me and was a cat girl but he didn't do anything about it #monsterdon
βA leopard got looseβ - the movie. Not quite peak #monsterdon :neocat__w_:
I don't get it. If the leopard body is separate from her human body, then why does she ALSO have to turn into a leopard? Is she TWO leopards? π€
@diazona Oh, very well sir, that answers all our questions! We'll have your car detailed for your troubles.
