#Monsterdon this guy. Am i right?

#monsterdon the voice overs are hilarious

@Taweret Here's the explanation for the archive.org slowness; seems someone scraping their way to an AI training dataset almost derailed #monsterdon https://mastodon.archive.org/@textfiles/110449359781365808

If we don't de-carbonize our economy Dogora will do it for us

Unless the Bees save us all

thanks for bringing us another valuable #Monsterdon lesson @Taweret

#monsterdon so do I understand this, the giant jellyfish eats coal and turns it into diamonds with the help of bees?

#monsterdon guess that's it. Movies over

#monsterdon my bridge bitch

#monsterdon a giant jellyfish that eats coal and diamonds

conventional weapons will surely work against the monster

#monsterdon

#monsterdon real natural conversations

#monsterdon Space Monster Dogora
0:52 I am disturbed that their world map does not include Greenland.

@joewynne @ModusMatt @Taweret haha! you got me curious. I thought I was still on the waiting list but looks like I got access. disappointing responses from ChatGPT

though now I am rooting for #ChatKaijuGPT that's trained solely on #kaiju facts and the #monsterdon feed :D

@fufu @ModusMatt @Taweret

You didn't use ChatGPT did you?

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

@ModusMatt @fufu @Taweret

Look, just rewatch the movie and submit your report before next Sunday.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

@ModusMatt that we've been thinking about plants as the solution to #CarbonCapture when we could've been thinking of #CarbonEjection using space kaiju all along. thanks @Taweret for hosting!! #monsterdon

I will remember Dogora as The Movie With Every Plot. You had the mob plot, the romance plot, the cheeky gaijin heist plot, the science plot, the military plot, AND the monster. Jesus. #Monsterdon

@ModusMatt I want you to know that I learned absolutely nothing. Good day, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY! #monsterdon

Why are you G men so against all these legitimate businessmen going about their fedora filled days?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon so what did we learn from all this?

it's a rock party #monsterdon

NOOOO!
Diamonds are for death...
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon nooo bowler hat guy!

sweet squash-death!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

Oh, bug bombs. They're fumigating the sky today. Better open all the sky's doors and windows and go to the movies for a couple hours. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon was it worth it lady?

Gunfight at the OK Coral #Monsterdon

This kind of makes me want a movie that's like Cloverfield but about some Mafia guys trying to escape it, with their Mafia drama. #Monsterdon

"...hurry up, there's only five feet of fuse left!"

#Monsterdon #Dogora

#monsterdon pretty small explosion

#monsterdon great escape plan

@OldRustBucket no
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I love bowler hat guy

@ModusMatt doesn't make sense _with_ them either but it does add a nice splash of colour #monsterdon

#monsterdon glad they brought bees into the story. It wouldn't make sense without them

DELICIOUS BRIDGES, MMM #Monsterdon

is it a space squid or octopus? we need to know! #monsterdon

@Taweret We're familiar enough with the concept of monsters to have a process in place for naming them but we're still gonna give the conventional weapons a try. #Monsterdon

okay, this is actually an extremely cool monster

#monsterdon

It's not a kaiju movie until someone destroys a bridge. #Monsterdon

I for one welcome our theremin-playing sky-squid overlord #Monsterdon

Artillery has never worked against a kaiju. But we must start with it. It’s tradition.
#Monsterdon

honesty think this space squid looks good, i'm here for it #monsterdon

Just the tentacle parts from the cloud, that's cool stuff. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

hell yeah. squid kaiju in the sky

#monsterdon

Here we go.
The deep horns are playing. Something wicked this way comes.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

#monsterdon I want to know more about bowler hat guy with the goofy voice

#monsterdon it has an upset stomach

how did they make a real bridge shot look that fake? what the hell, movie? #monsterdon

be careful people wearing plain white gloves in public are shifty characters #Monsterdon

@moira @trixter I want there to be a system for naming them like there is with hurricanes. Clearly it’s needed. #monsterdon

Now I have the rap part of Blondie's "Rapture" stuck in my head. #Monsterdon

and now we're just straight into "yep it's a monster" with no middle steps #monsterdon

"Rock salt! We'll never slip on the driveway again!" #Monsterdon

#monsterdon lots of pauses between words. Is this guy having a stroke?

"A diamond G man" Gee! #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

"...you could call me a diamond G-Man"

<everyone falls down laughing>

#Monsterdon #Dogora

Akiko Wakabayashi is a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
#Monsterdon

My #monsterdon was delayed for a few minutes due to an errand, so I'm picking it up at the title.

Amused that one of the satellite techs had a very distinctive idea of what a space firefly *should* sound like.

#monsterdon we only care about diamonds not monsters... unless it's a diamond monster

They actually had a cinematographer putting in their A game on this one. These are some well constructed shots. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

Using his own gag against him. Nice touch. Also: GET A WARRANT. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

#monsterdon the monster is just a big vacuum

Chimneys like "This movie sucks, we're outta here." #Monsterdon

"Is there a monster movie in here?"
Eventually yes. But this is very much a Japanese 60s gangster movie. Even more so than H-man last week.
#Monsterdon

Oh he's got a desktop theremin! That was HIM on the opening soundtrack. #Monsterdon

When the International Judas, Doctor Who invites you to get in a care, you get in a car.
#Monsterdon

Can someone do hand shadows on their wall and stream that? #monsterdon

Oh hey, they're listening to KPLOT. All the news that's fit to script! #Monsterdon

Theremin or wobbly saw? You decide. #Monsterdon

You know, a space firefly! That's a thing, right? #Monsterdon

This dawgora don't hunt #monsterdon

“…hey planet, can you hear me now ... okay, how about now"

#Monsterdon #Dogora

Commencing #monsterdon with Space Monster Dogora!

Kinda wish I found the sub or raw version instead of the dub, but hopefully the dub will be hilarious.

Legitimately the best scene in the entire movie :D #Monsterdon

Dogora isn't the best old Toho monster movie, but it is better on second watch knowing there isn't alot of monster action. The diamond robbing gangster stuff is decent stuff.
#Monsterdon

Mark Johnson went on to become the King of Seatopia.
And now you know the rest of the story.
#Monsterdon

Clear skies now men. All thanks to the junior G men and BEES. My god!
#Monsterdon

HAH! Gangster pâté.
#Monsterdon

Great play-by-play analysis people!

The thread will be archived by the Japanese Film Historical Commission in an industrial incinerator.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

Hmm. This climax is almost a gangland battle happening under a rain of monster corpses. But it doesn't quite live up to that description. Beautiful beach though.
Well mix of beach, sets, and miniatures.
#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret yeah, thanks for running again Numbers! :D #monsterdon

That one is definitely made better (watchable) with a riffing crew. Thanks again #monsterdon and @Taweret! #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

Another great #Monsterdon is in the can!

We had space squids, diamonds, candy, white gloves, bees, wasps, and so many hats. Seriously, everyone seemed to have a different hat.

Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting!

the dude who played Everyone's Favorite Gaijinwas Robert Dunham, apparently once one of the top 5 exporters of shoes in Japan. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242290/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm #monsterdon

I am disquieted by the presence of a denouement. However, good job everybody! #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

Evolution of the director!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

What is this tying up loose ends after the end of the primary action.. I'm.. I'm confused. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

I guess space monsters don't fuck off into the sea. #Monsterdon

Wow, that movie had an actual denoument. Pretty rare. #Monsterdon

i lost my attention for a sec, what just happened? how did it all stop? #monsterdon

this is a really long ending for one of these films #monsterdon

Kiss him ya lug. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

"Would you marry me?" #monsterdon

"We've finished spreading the Agent Orange, men! Good work! Clear skies forever, right?" #Monsterdon

🟨 Stand by for abrupt ending 🟨
#Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterDogora

#Monsterdon Dogora crystals are where we get Pop Rock Candy from.

SPLAT just like a Roadrunner cartoon

Fantastic

#Monsterdon

let the sky fall
when it crumbles
we will stand tall
