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

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

@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

@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

@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

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

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

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

@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

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!

Don't spike the camera Helen.
It's time for murder?
#Monsterdon #CatwomenoftheMoon

lack of denouement, lack of nouement, lack of oldment, lack of ment entirely, goddammit

#monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon #SonnyTufts #Thighbiter

Okay so which movie was more misogynist, Cat Women of the Moon or Project Moonbase? #Monsterdon

First #Monsterdon, best #Monsterdon

What? Already? I haven't even finished eating my pizza.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon this was my favorite monsterdon

#monsterdon THE END

And Tubi rolls into The Astounding She Monster. #Monsterdon

@hollie Don't watch the Monolith Monster movie. Repeat: do not watch the Monolith Monster movie! #monsterdon

Ok, that explains at least the ending… Trivia:

„Marie Windsor in a 1992 FILMFAX interview: 'one of the worst pictures I've been involved in. I think we made it in two weeks. In the last few days of production we were told we were over schedule and filming just stopped. Several pages of the script never got shot! I still can't believe we were flying to the moon in a spaceship while sitting in regular desk chairs with wheels.“ #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial certainly the movie was done by the lowest bidder. #monsterdon

and is just ends. Typical.

#Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon

that sure was a movie!

#monsterdon

And we escaped the catsuited women of the moon!

-fin

#Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon

#monsterdon Wait what? I wanted more spider lore!!!!!

Such a well written ending #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Thank you. Amazing again, everyone!

#Monsterdon 🐈 👭 🌜 🚀 😱

dangit only the baddies have survived.

Moonrocket 4 has surprised tf out of White Sands

well that was mercifully short

#Monsterdon

well that certainly was a movie #monsterdon

The rocket changed back just in time for the end!

OK everyone, that was a quickie. Thanks for watching - see you next week for more #monsterdon !

And thanks to @Taweret for coordinating.

#Monsterdon
"That is a long story"

Not really, this movie is barely over an hour -- usually a "feature" is supposed to be > 80 minutes.

Seemed like it ended kind of abruptly, TBH.

#Monsterdon lololol

@SRLevine @jonny "lambda in the sky with diamonds"

#monsterdon

Those big oversized space suit collars seem so nice and snuggly...

#monsterdon

Whoa...that went by fast!

#CatWomenOfTheMoon #Monsterdon

oh okay, and then it just suddenly ends I guess

okay

well, ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Because everybody wants to rule the world #monsterdon

there better be a sequel called Zombie Cat-Women On The Moon #Monsterdon

That is clearly Moon Rocket 63. We've been lied to this entire time.

#Monsterdon

never have i been so glad to see the words The End. #monsterdon

...and that's it?! #monsterdon
