THANKS for a great time!
@Taweret for all you do for hosting
@cheribaker for the Bingo card (my favorite was "pajamas" as soon as I saw it)
...and the Real Time Film Analysis Squad - There was some unnecessarily good analysis, connections, references, and, the icing, snark. That' will get me through the week with my brain that has one atom left.
@clayknight Not every movie needs a love interest separate from a happily married couple #monsterdon
Maybe the worst job I've ever done at keeping all my #Monsterdon posts in a single thread.
@CactuarJoe While everyone else was watching #Monsterdon, I was thinking of an old video game so much i had to find someone who clipped the funniest part.

#monsterdon we can’t have explosions but our smart detective is going to blow things up!
I'm a bit surprised they didn't name this movie "Creature with the Computer Brain".
@forestine Wait... New Tax May Be Needed!? Wait, NOW I understand the plot of this film! :O #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I knew this had to end with all the zombies being used at once. So we get all the awkward flailing fight!
Uncle Dave sadly isn't coming back but Detective Slack saved the day!
Thanks for hosting this weeks Radioactive Emanation @Taweret !
Thanks @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon
Why is there a pile of baby doll parts #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
Penny wants to name her doll Dave and let it be a tomboy!
Has this movie become a #Monsterdon Pride event?
(and now to keep my window open while every one catches up (^_^) ) #monsterdon
@Taweret @RobynGoodfellow Was legitimately not expecting that, I thought for sure it'd end mid-scene. #Monsterdon
I love that with all the cops and infantry, it takes a scientist to be all “they’re slow, so maybe bobbing and weaving will help”. #monsterdon
EMANATIONS
What a classic #Monsterdon experience, that was a fun one! Shockingly I kind of wish it were longer.
Thanks @Taweret and everybody for the snark as always, I needed this this weekend 😀
@SarraceniaWilds It was the lunch orders going to the diner next door. :) #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 event. See the post at the top of this thread for more info:
@msh She is at very least an ally #monsterdon #pridemonth
Tonight's theme song ...
A plot, a climax, a denouement this movie had EVERYTHING! Thanks for watching y'all and thanks again to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
the mads have turned on each other #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza Totally dead, and you can tell from their tones that they aren't all that upset about it.
#Monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
#monsterdon And this fucking family, just go all in "You've never had an uncle Dave, I wish you'd stop imagining these things" (a'la the poodle in Manos/MST)
CREATURES WITH ATOM BRAINS DESTROYED gives in my opinion a misleading impression of just what it was they killed #monsterdon
so, wife/husband/uncle throuple, "girl" dollie named dave, actual affection shown between main couple, wow, this movie was a lot for the 50s! #monsterdon
What a delightful movie for an hour of runtime, a very impressive #Monsterdon experience!
Penny is awesome for not making her dolly conform to gender stereotypes! #Monsterdon
That's all, folks!
So ends another #Monsterdon. As always, our thanks to @Taweret and to all the posters and lurkers. And remember #Monsterdoners: Try my special mixture.
Wow! Limited farm bill favored! #monsterdon
🦖Halloween Idea
I think we can get clear tape and put on stitches with black markers, just like they did in this movie.
what subtle environmental storytelling #monsterdon
Penny being quite progressive with her parenting attitude, I like it
Uncle Dave isn’t coming. He’s in dayudee’s workshop. #Monsterdon
"No , I'm going to call her Dave."
"That's a boy's name!"
"I don't care! I'm going to call her Dave!"
Woke little kid! ✊
...So is Dave recovering or are they just not telling their kid Uncle Dave is dead? #Monsterdon
See, you can't count on how a doll wants to be identified #monsterdon
Yeah if he hadn't smashed the equipment those eight guys would have bludgeoned the entire US army with glacial speed #monsterdon
Wow. This movie is woke! Girl doll named "Dave".
That's... not how tomboys work, is it?
![[Emmett] the guy](/media/avatars/e882d600e64e5fd72a98375fd65ee0a7e2cdd9812ef94817b9bbf1c862122335.jpg){kind=small}
The risk of explosion is too dangerous!
Let me throw grenades at them!
#monsterdon
@jonny YOU MANIANC! YOU BLEW IT ALL UP!
Partner: Robot starts crying and says "what about the cake, Joel? What about the cake?"
@plaidtron3000 I guess in the 1950s people didn't give unsolicited comments on other people's appearance? #monsterdon
#monsterdon impressive x-ray machine. impressive radio noise management on a helicopter.
wait wait wait i thought it was bad to blow up everything in the radioactive room and that was the whole problem what are you doing chet you maniac #monsterdon
#monsterdon Roger Stone as the police commissioner? Also Ed O'Neil, Conan, it looks like Bill Murray or that dude who played Q in the zombie army.
This scene looks like it was actually very dangerous to make. I think that's real glass breaking above the actor. #monsterdon
A lot of camera operators got hugged in the filming of this movie. #Monsterdon
Zombies can throw another human. I never knew that.
#Monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
That's right. Breathe deep all that radioactive smoke. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
This fight scene rules, just imagine how shitty it would be if shot today

#monsterdon smash the equpment
How hard can it be to contain these atom brains? They shuffle around like me 2 days after Leg Day workout #Monsterdon
@jonny Says you. #Monsterdon
grenades and bullets can't hold a candle to the power of our protagonist's light shoves
"you brute you brute" #monsterdon
🚨 Morgue Zombie Attack 🚨
Squibfest! Unnecessary gunfire! (Bingo hint) Body throwing!
That guy's bald spot would be perfect for a lil bird nest #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
So do all these dudes have luminous fingerprints and footprints right now? I want to be shown #monsterdon
Careful Chet. You won't want to know where that tube's been. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
Yea! Get his ass, Dave!
fetch! #monsterdon
OH THE IRONY
This suddenly turned into a dream ballet #Monsterdon
Everyone was slow-move fighting.
#Monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
#Monsterdon Walker, shoot Dave in the head!
The car chase was a bit draggy, but this fight is just impeccable. Goofy choreography and soldiers unable to hit targets 5m away with a grenade because the effects budget doesn't cover that.
#Monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
Instead of bullets - try baton to the head - that'll break some neurons
Part melee, part interpretive dance scene #monsterdon
The zombies had strangled like three camera men so far. #monsterdon #CreatureWithTheAtomBrain
Ooh, or maybe Dave will kill Buchanan.
@davesdogmaggie can't blend in with a bunch of naked radioactive guys #monsterdon
Wow, that one guy was buried in a tan suit? #Monsterdon
Cops are just natural narrators, I guess. #Monsterdon
no film camera is safe! #monsterdon
@funkula are you sure about that? #monsterdon
Maybe I spoke too soon #monsterdon
Why are bodies stolen from the morgue, that were going to be cremated, wearing really nice suits? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon now it's hand-to-hand
#Monsterdon A girl named Dave!
cops v. radioactive zombies
cops v. radioactive zombies
goddammit movie
Conventional weapons are no good! #monsterdon
The Creature With The Selenium Eyes
Have you guys thought about, idk, putting magnets on their heads?
Oh it's a mass Kirk Chop event! #Monsterdon
conventional weapons ineffective! #monsterdon
#monsterdon Fire in the hole!
@srol 👍 definitely the right call
Bro, the army is here. Eight shambling guys ain't gonna do shit #monsterdon
Are they still called squibs if there's no blood? Great effect, anyway.
I just wanted someone to help me haul buckets of water from the wizard's well, but things got a little out of hand #monsterdon
♫ Here we coooome... Walkin' down the streeet ♪ #Monsterdon

Shivambu infusion #monsterdon #creaturewiththeatombrain
now do we get some masers?
@diazona i'll follow the movie's lead and just have a lengthy, one-sided conversation with them. #Monsterdon
The morgue bodies are heading to Abbey Road! #monsterdon
