Not the monorail!!! #Monsterdon
What a coincidence, those are all the places I'd hide my horcruxes. #Monsterdon
those are some nice models. would be a shame if some kaiju came along...
I always dream of having models and then smashing them as a monster attack so I'm loving this
OMG, look at that long, scaly baby, he is so cute, just let him do whatever he wants.

Godzilla just doing a little dance in the background πππ #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
my noodley dude over here sounding like an inflating balloon instead of a monster
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
@paco i think about that a lot #monsterdon
#monsterdon Godzilla over here just dancing it up, just absolutely having the time of his life /kicks over building and dabs
thank god we are going back to documentary exposition mode for a minute i was truly lost #monsterdon
I feel what these action heroes need to get motivated is a few gallons of coffee #monsterdon
Suddenly it's post cards from around the world. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
the little rotating antenna on the little handheld detector unit! π₯Ίπ₯° #monsterdon
#Monsterdon please can I have a monster controlling device oh please oh please oh please?
*sad chibi kaiju eyes*
what's found in dover stays in dover
@Newpa_Hasai @chirpbirb That's one option but I feel like there are so many directions you could take it... Bond has to take down the Kaiju before they destroy London, or has to free a captive Kaiju, or hooks up with a Kaiju....
@SnoopJ On the moon!
It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait.. it's a bird. nevermind. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
@Taweret "kids movie"?! π€ π
@diazona @chirpbirb Cold war, but with kaiju instead of nukes? #Monsterdon
What a beautiful cow! Does the cow die .com???
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
weirdly graphic surgery scene for a kids movie too
HOLY SHIT that mannequin falling out of the window!!!!! A+ π― no notes
ALIEN SPY IMPLANT????

#Monsterdon Brown suits vs black suits on the beach. #DestroyAllMonsters
"That's not a hearing aid ... THIS is a hearing aid!" (brandishes giant hearing aid)
My dude just got shot in the forehead and had time to think about what just happened before dying. #Monsterdon
@Taweret rated G for Godzilla
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
I've never seen an invisible barrier before! AND I STILL HAVEN'T. #monsterdon #destroyallmonsters
KYOKO!
TETSUO!
KANEDA!
hand drawn electicity ftw
Invaders from planet Sequin! #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
Monsterdon stans a weird queen. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
"Godzilla is here ... and Rodan is flying." He's reading a kaiju primer.
nobody actually controls the big G, he's just playing along until he figures out their game
David Bowman called ... he wants his hep mod-inspired brightly-colored spacesuit back ...

@springdew what is this "logic" you speak of
Where's the Kaiju Preservation Society when you need them?
Tonight's #Monsterdon movie #DestroyAllMonsters is giving me all the backstory I didn't know I needed for the #GodzillaIsland shorts I've been watching.
Check out the playlist on the official #Toho #YouTube channel later - it's set on #MonsterIsland and is exceptionally low budget.

I've played Kerbal Space Program. You can't trick me, that's not how a space plane works.
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
#Monsterdon I feel like their space helmets are modified welding helmets, but I might be wrong. #DestroyAllMonsters
Those monsters are super dang fast! From their island to Moscow, Beijing, and NYC in minutes.
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
That space station would look really cool on the side of a van ...

Happy to help! #Monsterdon
Ishiro Honda appreciation toot! Hard to imagine the entire modern science fiction genre without this filmmakerβs giant concrete-crushing footprints. Hereβs some original fan art of the Orson Welles of the Kaiju genre!

Is it ironic that they control the monsters with gas, and they themselves are attacked with gas?
They...spared no expense #Monsterdon
AAAAAAAND NOW, your STARTING LINEUP of the 1968 KAIJUUUUUUUUUUU
YEAH CHOMP DOWN ON THE *DOLPHINS* GUYS #Monsterdon
I like that they spent a while on the fish before thinking to mention that all the earth's monsters are on the island #monsterdon
How much are tickets to Monsterland?
#Monsterdon
#DestroyAllMonsters
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS starts off by playing the hits: let's see those monsters!
NO WAY THIS IS A DOCUMENTARY #monsterdon
Fun fact, 1999 was 45 years ago
OK, starting off very optimistic about NASA/JAXA's budget #monsterdon
Please do not artificially evolve the fish. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
in an area known as... Monsterland
#Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
And weβre going to party like itβs 1999 #Monsterdon
you're kidding me i didn't know this was going to be presented in a 50's educational doc style i am so here for this #monsterdon
It is KAIJU O'CLOCK by which I mean #Monsterdon! Got my bingo card at the ready, let's get this party started. :D
It's time to Kaiju like it's 1999! WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!!! #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
by my count, we've watched 19 movies directed by ishiro honda
@CactuarJoe Huh, really? It usually seems to me that the hashtag goes pretty quiet almost immediately after the film is over. (Although it does take me a couple minutes to catch up on notifications)
@arisummerland He'd be a spectacular addition! Definitely fits the mood! πππΌ #Monsterdon
@joewynne @Zerofactorial How many Godzillas to the hectare again? I've forgotten. #Monsterdon
@joewynne @CactuarJoe I must assume that is a callout to @cheribaker #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Well they were monstrous, but they were on our side so they all get free passes #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial Even if that were true, there's still a baker's dozen of monsters left at the end of the film! The movie's not called DESTROY *SOME* MONSTERS! #Monsterdon
@RamenCatholic @arisummerland Yeah, no #monsterdon
@Fanfalla @chirpbirb And they eventually grew to love the magnetic shields and toxic gas barriers hemming them in #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Maybe the Kilaaks were the only actual monsters? Besides King Ghidorah, I mean #monsterdon
The moon dudes are trying to fight fire with fire literally #monsterdon
@RamenCatholic @arisummerland Hoping against hope that Kyoko gets a convo with the Kilaak queen #monsterdon #bechdeltest
@arisummerland I regret to inform the onlookers that I still have seven minutes running time to go, owing to ads on PlutoTV #monsterdon
@moira Plus you're never paying as much attention as you'd need to cuz you're so busy laughing your ass off. Every time.
i missed watching godzilla on godzilla day so i'm watching it now as a cleansing chaser
@yatsu Yeah, after a half hour long cocoon sequence #monsterdon
OK, now that it's over, I can admit this is like the 7th time I've seen Destroy All Monsters,
and I STILL have no idea wtf was going on. Not even joking.
Flaming Hot Cheetos Monster #monsterdon
@jonny yeah this one is going to be especially impenetrable. Not as bad as trying to get your rocket ship into a flaming tunnel, but tough.
Final thoughts: That movie had so much, yet still was missing some key ingredients like a full moth Mothra and toy planes. I really missed the toy planes. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
@cheribaker SO CLOSE! #Monsterdon
@msh Ghidora always sounds like somebody fucking around mashing keys on an organ to me #Monsterdon
Um. So.
Weird movie. Great watch party though. I am pleased π
Thanks as always for hosting @Taweret !
Thank you @Taweret and all the riffers for yet another fine #Monsterdon
@trixter AS ALL RIGHT-THINKING PEOPLE DO.
Also I am counting being on an island as βthe seaβ. #Monsterdon #DestroyAllMonsters
@jonny truly one of the kaiju films of all time, and I think the most avant garde I have seen in the course of #Monsterdon
@jonny PERFECTLY RATIONAL EXPLANATION!
And, that's a wrap (at least for the copy I'm watching here) ... the ending wasn't *quite* as abrupt as one expects from a kaiju flick, but overall quite satisfying.
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Watching #Monsterdon without ads means I can catch tonight's #TreehouseOfHorror before bed. Hooray!
and come to think of it again, mothra stayed a grub the whole time, i much prefer MOTHra. #Monsterdon
Some ending alright. No bingo for me tonight
@yatsu Yeah true, I'm reaching here
Lol I got a glass of water, and the movie ended during it whoops
That one is another one that's WAY more fun to watch in a group. Also a great welcome back for #monsterdon. Thanks again for hosing @Taweret!
