just occurred to me, the Daleks are #techbros

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#monsterdon

WE. HAVE. THE. MOST. ADVANCED. FORM. OF. LAMP.

IT. IS. GROOVY.

#monsterdon There were many mutations, but this form was most suited to glam rock.

As a big fan of #MST3K, #Svengoolie, #Monstervision, and just hanging out on the couch with pals watching a random (sometimes .. ish ... bad) movie ..

This whole #monsterdon this is up my alley. New reason to love this place.

Exterminate? In our moment of triumph?

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

Who wore it better?

#monsterdon

So I did the whole #monsterdon from an airplane... on the ground. My 6:20 flight took off at 10:30, right after the film ended.

#monsterdon DALEK. FONTS. ARE. SUPERIOR.

Now this is REAL Doctor Who -- running down narrow corridors from a monster constructed from precisely 72 pence worth of components :D #Monsterdon

Blue Daleks are from the Science division, red from Engineering. #Monsterdon

and the movie ends with no comment on anything that happened in the movie and no development in the plot, characters, or setting being acknowledged #monsterdon

This movie could have been a Christmas special. #Monsterdon

quick, everyone, to the top of this matte painting! #monsterdon

you know theres a reason why on modern Dr who the daleks get very little dialogue. like they'll start to explain their plan and the Dr will jump in and explain it for them

there's a reason why

#monsterdon

Who wore it better?

#monsterdon

this is already 100 times better than most #Monsterdon movies. we got the Daleks about 20 minutes in.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#monsterdon Well, I enjoyed that. It was good fun.

I am a little disappointed though. I've heard many times that this film was "Completely different" than Doctor Who. ... but really, this was a remake of the second episode of the TV show.

So, not completely different at all, almost shot-for-shot identical.

so a godlike grandpa scientist blunder into a random time and space, militarize its inhabitants and precipitate a stable truce into open warfare, there are no characters, not even the doctor is a character, and the most peril actually experienced is how one of the guys got stuck in like a one meter wide ravine #monsterdon

you can tell this was created in a time white people never ever dreamed of being under surveillance by the state. it could only be done by aliens.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

#monsterdon Personally, I would not fill my canteen in the deadly mutant swamp.

#monsterdon R.O.U.S? I don't think they exist.

Y’all, I just have to note that this is our first movie in ages and ages to NOT feature rampant misogyny in the first five minutes

We don’t have a Bechdel pass yet, but I have hope?

#Monsterdon

i went to war against the daleks and all i got was this fabulous Ziggy Gaydust cape

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

These are the least combat ready Daleks in the history of Daleks. This city must be where they send Daleks that wash out of basic Dalek training.

#monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

I’m calling that “homeopathic Doctor Who.” It was a movie made from the memories of great Doctor Who episodes, but they didn’t remember them very well.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink and #MonsterdonTrivia, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, @paco for #MonsterdonData at https://gallery.don.monster, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

the reason why the "goodbye" scene is so hollow is that not only did they not characterize any of the twink colony, they didn't even characterize any of the leads to give a hint as to why they would give a shit about any of this #monsterdon

Daleks got their number font from a Greek restaurant. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon STAND. ON. THE. HEXAGON.

Dalek: Yeah, but have you ever tried to exterminate ON DRUGS!

#monsterdon #DrWhoandTheDaleks

dog you are getting inside someone else's wall-e pod where they live their entire life, you can just smell the fuckin film of life paste over every button and joystick #monsterdon

if only the daleks had equipped their protective personal tanks with weapons instead of a whisk

#monsterdon

the city of cute twinks that are also floating glowing rocks has let their diplomatic knowledge lapse in their pastoral forest existence, so now they are totally credulous to the most basic machinations of the mutant robot mech race that they used to live alongside in a state of constant conflict #monsterdon

it is me or is the boyfried cosplaying Dick Van Dyke ―who, btw, is still with us at the tender age of 100.

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

Didn’t post a whole lot but it was my first #Monsterdon and I had a good time

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

hey that was a silly one never count down from 100 it gives everyone way too much time to stop you

Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, and @JoeWynne for trivia, and @cherizilla for bingo

and most of all, to all you great #Monsterdonians for the fun!

This was my first exposure to Dr Who, fwiw....

#monsterdon

Holy shit, Ian went full Stooge there at the end. #Monsterdon

And the movie fucks off into… a new canon for Doctor Who where The Doctor is named Dr. Who, I guess?

It was uneven, but it had its moments. Most of them were in the first 70% of the movie, the last act *really* drags its feet and doesn't stick the landing on much of anything.

But it *does* have Peter Cushing, so there's that

#Monsterdon

OH. NO. LOST COUNT. STARTING. OVER. 100 ....

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

i wondered how there could be 30 minutes left in the movie and it turns out the answer is "climbing this fucking mountain" #monsterdon

"We do not wish to fight."

You guys could at least 3D print some whistles or something. #Monsterdon

Hadn't marked "Reinforcements Arrive" on my bingo card but with that, I have #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I like that the scientist DALEKS are painted white.

#monsterdon Oh, he's playing portal.

He just needs to find a cube dispenser.

"Can you see any people?"

No, matte painting's not that detailed. #Monsterdon

Doctor Who used as a direct form of address? “This is TARDIS” with no article? I’m already experiencing near-fatal levels of pedantry! #Monsterdon

this is a decent example of the difference between a bad bad movie and a good bad movie for me - they made so many nice little opportunities in the world for weird and cool stuff to happen and took absolutely none of them. every moment of heightened tension where they could have leaned into the whole thing they had set up is just resolved by sort of fumbling around and eventually finding the magical next scene button. show me daleks doing jumps off ramps and trying to go offroad in their home planet and failing miserably. show me anything about the pacificist society at all. make the godlike magical family do anything godlike and magical. good bad movies are good because they try so much and fail so spectacularly, bad bad movies don't try anything #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this who's Who of hooey!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Physical comedy"

🎞️ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays.

Enjoy! To all those attending the double feature: https://miru.miyaku.media/

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Hope. this. week. is. a. great. ad. ven. ture.

Really I think the creative decision I'm most annoyed with is making Ian into the comic relief character. Man, what a disservice :/ #Monsterdon

Huh. So that's how you wanna end your movie, is it? Okay fine, screw you too. I'm outta here. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I do really like this control room.

12 minutes remaining and we are spending two of them convincing this guy to jump over a ravine #monsterdon

#monsterdon Ooo. I like the rotating control panels.

Hey dipshit, you forgot the fluid link. #Monsterdon

*sigh*

my computer crashed. anyway, am catching up with Ziggy Gaydust and their makeup is totally on point.

Mostly I'm impressed Susan's perm is still mostly in one piece. #Monsterdon

the rose gold, copper, steel gray palette in the Dalek world is very Live Love Laugh

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

You can tell it's a Doctor Who thing because nobody listens when told to stay put. #Monsterdon

The deadly swamp is full of Rodents of Unusual Size. #Monsterdon

who sticks their face in a murky puddle next to a mutant city and opens their eyes

#monsterdon

elevators make sense in a society where people of all different shapes and sizes and modes of movement and carrying different things and moving in groups and so on. if your society was based around mechs where everyone was exactly the same size and shape and inside a mech suit you would just do like... hooks. or a forklift. and you would build your mechs so that there was a way for them to easily dock in a container for rapid movement.

anyway the conception of the dalek society is lazy and underdeveloped #monsterdon

weekends at bernie's but with a dalek

#monsterdon

"If we could find a weakness in the Daleks..."

Anybody got a paint ball gun? :D #Monsterdon

If only there had been a sign to warn them that this was not a place of honor. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

Barbara had the foresight to wear salmon pants to match the salmon accents in the alien city that's amazing!

Computer, arch.

#Monsterdon

BBC: Hey, it's a big screen Doctor Who! IN COLOR!

Designers: Awesome! Let's make his costume brown.

BBC: Brilliant!

#monsterdon

Is Austin Powers in this? #Monsterdon

Anyway this concludes my #monsterdon thread for Doctor Who and the Daleks.

Until next time... um... uh... um... try to not break your time machine if you have one I guess. I think that's the moral.

@CactuarJoe This was for lack of a better description bad in a way that I'd compare with Godzilla 1998. It seemed better made at a technical level than a lot of what we watch, but just... why?

That typed, dishonorable mention to Planet Earth and it's "Roddenberry, why?"

#Monsterdon #DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks

Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye! Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye #Monsterdon

I gotta say this movie's doing a really great job of making the Daleks look completely incompetent and powerless. #Monsterdon

Who knew the daleks only weakness was bullying

#monsterdon

they make the daleks these totally impotent comical enemies and then do nothing with that. like it's funny how much they suck and the humans have absolutely no problem handling them, but they still run and hide and pretend like they're about to die #monsterdon

WE. WILL. HAVE. AN. EXCESSIVELY. LONG. COUNTDOWN. TO PAD. THE FILM. #Monsterdon

Uh oh. Rock climbing, Joel. :/ #Monsterdon

Peter Cushing was a hottie faking being an old guy in this movie 😏

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

there's a lot less blood and shit with this sort of radiation poisoning , they should be thankful...

#Monsterdon

HOW DO YOU GET SNUCK UP ON BY A FUCKING DALEK #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
They've got lava lamps! Groovy!

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

YOU GUYS @cherizilla made a tardis stamp for our bingo cards!!

💞 💞 💞 🏆 💞 💞 💞

So in the normal Doctor Who continuity, the Tardis is like an ancient invention of space people called time lords and the Doctor is a time lord. Or maybe a human. Or maybe a cosmic being. Whatever it doesn't matter.

But anyway, Peter Cushing in this seems like just a normal human and not a space dude or a cosmic being, and the Tardis is just a thing he made. As it looks like a Police Box I wonder if he is breaking any laws doing this.

#monsterdon

@apLundell _Doctor Who_, the person, is completely different. Backstory, etc. Not so much the story. Which is made dumber! But it does follow the general lines.

#monsterdon #WeHaveDrWhoAtHome

Thanks as always to Dr. @Taweret for hosting and the #Monsterdon crew for carrying us all through space and time!

...Let's get out of here before the stock footage shows up. 📽️ ⚔️🛡️

I give Doctor Who and the Daleks 3 out of 5. It made no sense, but it was also very weird, and those two things seem to cancel each other out. I liked the exploration bits more than the actual plot bits.

This was kind of the "1998 Godzilla movie" of "Doctor Who" in that it's a self-contained spinoff that is mostly worse than the original.

#monsterdon

Ian would be right at home in that Futurama episode where they time traveled to the end of the universe

and looped around

and missed

and looped around again

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

oh great so we could have just run over and grabbed them and pointed them at each other the whole time cool nice #monsterdon

PLEASE throwing the rope at the robot is so good #monsterdon
