Ope, there goes the framerate again.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@TerryHancock @diazona @hollie @moira @ricci

Just feel dutiful compassion for those of us who saw the SW Holiday Special unwarned, and with happy anticipation as children and adolescents, in its first broadcast run.

#Monsterdon

Oh no Claymation-FPS is back

#Monsterdon

DIRK

DIRK ... HARDSHANK?

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

excuse me "grass widow"? #monsterdon

@ricci @SnoopJ Don't ask those kinds of questions, that way lies madness

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat @jonny I kind of like the idea of pretending the whole thing is Claymation

#Monsterdon

so we have a light made of Ms, a light made out of a moon pie, and...

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

@SnoopJ oh no how have you convinced me to do this

#monsterdon

@diazona @jonny The Tubi version runs prety well. https://tubitv.com/movies/624905/missile-to-the-moon #monsterdon

@TerryHancock @hollie @moira @ricci wooooooo

OK I will try to organize something (unless someone else wants to) if it works out in the schedule

#Monsterdon

I am so relieved that the low framerate of that first scene is not persisting into the second scene. I would have to tap out, I think.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@jonny OMG for real

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

...gas generator? Are those actual (rough) diagrams of liquid fuel rocket engiens?

#monsterdon

tele-metering

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

oh my god the archive.org copy has a framerate that makes the whole thing look like claymation and it is in fact making me feel like i am hallucinating #monsterdon

I fear it could. It’s still the 50’s, right? #Monsterdon

Is this Them all over again??

#Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

Missile space has a better soundtrack than Cat-Women space, I gotta say

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

"2100 isn't a place, over."

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

I'm a little behind and usually i'll skip through shit but that title music bangs #monsterdon

spaaaaace

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON: In Colour!

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

@TerryHancock @hollie @moira @ricci Me neither. I think I have to though, since I reference that comic so often.

I wonder if we should organize a special-edition #Monsterdon (outside the usual schedule) for interested parties to watch it, sometime next month

If you ask me, Ralph brook this whole movie.

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

Screw it, we're doing another one.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

The soundtrack is definitely popping off more in this one so far.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

And again: beauty contest winners

But no Tufts?!

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

Okay, Missile to the Moon.

Starting with an Atlas I think?

#monsterdon

I'm in.

#Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon
#MissileToTheMoon

oh so ALL the letters are flying in this one

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

Deep breaths, here we go again.

#Monsterdon

@diazona @hollie @moira @ricci

In fact, I have never watched the "Star Wars Holiday Special".

I think I downloaded it, but it has this cosmic horror quality by reputation, so I just haven't worked myself up to it.

#Monsterdon

10 SECONDS GET YOUR SECOND MONSTERDON COURSE TOGETHER

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

is this actually happening?

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@bunnyhero @jonny Well... this isn't the same, but it would be an accomplishment for it to be worse than Cat-Women

#Monsterdon

@jonny Fair enough!

(BRB importing into Plex now)

#Monsterdon

I feel sorry for #monsterdon watching Cat Women of the Moon without MST3K or Elvira to help.

It's a great concept for the time, filmed & set decorated & scripted so badly, and then just ends. Ha ha no complete movie for you.

@diazona nah but i am here right now and don't want to go fold my laundry so it's happening #monsterdon

@jonny Ooh OK I'm in, although it's probably not going to be the same without the whole crowd tooting along

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonAlert

@TerryHancock @apLundell oh yeah, best part of the film

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@strangefour I suppose that could easily have happened off screen

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage omg jinx i am in #monsterdon

@jonny Another possibility is that the Space Gumby is a relative of Pizza the Hutt from Spaceballs and just got really dirty from all that moon dust.

#monsterdon

@apLundell So they could say they made a monster movie? #monsterdon

@Infoseepage SPACE GUMBIES i am in #monsterdon

@apLundell

The spider was actually one of the high points in this movie, for me.

I can see why they wanted to use it.

Much of this movie seems to rely on what was in the props closet.

#Monsterdon

I'm gonna go for a double feature #monsterdon, apparently there is a sequel "missile to the moon" that is also just 77m long. maybe start at 7:30 pacific if anyone else wants to join

@Configures @SRLevine thank you! (I'd have gone back & found the link, but I didn't want to lose my place in the #monsterdon feed/firehose...

(edit to add H/T to @JoeWynne for the trivia!)

@TerryHancock yeh it changes back and forth a few times xD

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@moira @apLundell 👍 I'll take that!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
I'm really only half watching this. But does the rocket ship model actually change between shots..?

Rocket at 01:47 is a quite different shape from rocket at 07:35.

@diazona @apLundell CANDY COMING OUT IS ALWAYS A LEGITIMATE ANSWER

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@diazona @hollie @moira @ricci if you want to feel the chaos that was the #Monsterdon feed on the night of GODMONSTER (or any other movie we've watched), there's always the possibility of replaying the feed here: https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/godmonster-of-indian-flats

@Infoseepage what theee fuck ok i am going to watch missile to the moon right now #monsterdon

@hollie @moira @ricci You should, just be aware that it's pushing pretty far over to the right of https://xkcd.com/653/

(so best to be prepared with some snarky friends, and probably copious amounts of alcohol if you're in to that)

#Monsterdon

Not enough cat women on the Moon.

#Monsterdon

@Infoseepage And they focused on the SPIDERS!? #monsterdon

@strangefour We came, we saw, we killed all of it. Time to fly home, I guess. #monsterdon

Hmm okay, the rocket said 63 previously when it was shaped like that and not like the other rocket. #Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon

@hollie Yup! Ya just never know! #monsterdon

The moral of the story is that Cat-Women be trippin, but not as much as Earth-Men #monsterdon

anyway they all deserved to die for killing spooder frien

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@hollie I swear, we've used Ishiro Honda movies as palate cleansers before

#monsterdon

@cs they had his b/r/a/i/n/m/e/a/t/s/ knowledge so he could be eliminated

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@YsengrinWolf I don't think it made sense anyway

Any of it

This was just so much "wut"

#Monsterdon

Ha, I didn't realize that today's #Monsterdon was "Cat Women of the Moon." We were introduced to this magnificent piece of film at Disney World's "Sci-Fi Dine In" restaurant. 😸

I’m probably overthinking it, but I don’t know why Walt had to die. #Monsterdon Definitely overthinking

@hollie 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

OMG so true though

#Monsterdon

@paco That's why all their men-folk died, at their own hands #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Watching the 10 minutes at the beginning that I mostly missed.

I like that narrator voice. Sounds familiar.

There is a standard 16-mm film spool on the wall -- exactly like the ones we used to get for classroom movies back when they still used film for that.

Just stuck there -- no tape or film on it.

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 CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON (1953). See the post at the top of this thread for more info:

https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111004128276431553

No coffee, did have moon wine.

Kept waving cigarettes and matches around, but I don't think anybody ever actually smoked.

Felt unfinished because apparently it *was* unfinished.

#Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon

@apLundell And they were controlling her before she got to the moon, but only added the glowing spot in the cave, so they added the weakness?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is it wrong that I feel kinda sorry for the Moon?
#CatWomenOfTheMoon

#Monsterdon It’s more of a mind controlled love rhombus.

@Zerofactorial @ottaross Discussing the plan to conquer the Earth doesn't count?

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

@ottaross I thought Alpha and Beta might have had some non-male oriented conversation at some point #monsterdon

Helen right back in the office chair with no explanation. 🤷‍♂️ #Monsterdon

where's captain video when you need him? even those made more sense.

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

What? They just shot them? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon lambda loves the radio operator. He knows his way around knobs and buttons. Walt knows how to twist knobs. Ohh he twists so good. Makes me shout!

@ricci GIGO #monsterdon

Wait--that was it???

#Monsterdon

Well, I guess that's an ending! Gonna see if I can find a nice puffy soft space suit to curl up in like a cat woman. Goodnight #monsterdon, and thanks @Taweret !

Premature something or other #monsterdon

Well they shot all the lunar lady cats and effed off back to earth...narrowly averting a feminist takeover

THE END

...an ending nobody but JD Vance would like. Oh well at least there were a lot of green-cheezy space-B-Movie moments to feast upon!

Thanks for the short and mostly sweet #Monsterdon @Taweret

@apLundell then can i have some pizza?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Somebody should tell the Moon Feminists this is the right time for an invasion

@yatsu I think it was a high school production #monsterdon

Sponsored by Purina cat chow…cuz when you’re out of Purina, you’re out of chow.
#monsterdon

Lesson here: catwomen don’t need men, ever, shouldn’t trust men, don’t deal with men, just stay away from men in general. Let men fight and kill each other #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
I know that older movies weren't as fussy about runtime, of course. But this one is pretty short.

GOOOOOOLD! There's gold in them thar lunar dunes!
#Monsterdon #CatwomenoftheMoon

Ha! That was terrible. I loved the sets and the interpretive dance. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting this fine cheesefest! Goodnight, Monster people.

#Monsterdon

@moira Not even a HINT of ment! #Monsterdon

That movie was so terrible, it left me speechless at multiple points. You can't put a price on that kind of sensory confusion, I'm truly grateful for the experience. #Monsterdon

WHERE do you have to go to get some ment around here? The goddamn MOO... oh yeah.

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

Lambda, you ignorant slut! #monsterdon

another #monsterdon feature that ends how it started! Like the most funny ones. Thanks everyone!
