If your movie is too short you can always have a character walk slowly around a small space without any dialogue for as long as you need. #Monsterdon
Dude stole his tux from John Pertwee. #Monsterdon
"You can't go around murdering nuns, and replacing them with clones!"
"We can, but we don't plan to make a habit of it."
On the one hand, it's nice to finally see someone not shooting day for night.
On the other hand, WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT
Sure, ma'am. Those roses are second to nun. #Monsterdon
@xerozohar NUN JOKES WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES #Monsterdon
Somehow I knew that when the world ended, Nuns would be involved.
(Why yes, I did go to Catholic school. Why do you ask?)
I like that moment on the Fediverse when #Monsterdon and #HashtagGames overlap.
I choose to believe that these computers are in the basement of St Catherine’s. Obviously, they’re beaming prayers into space and scanning for a response
#monsterdon Well, the plot was completely stupid. And large parts of it were boring, but this was still better than last week's film.
I'm disappointed that a film with such an amazing poster would be so dull, though.
Christopher Lee appeared in a lot of cheesy films, but even he must have been hugely disappointed in this one. At least in other films he was allowed to chew the scenery. Here he was only allowed to act in the first five minutes of the film. After that he was just reading lines out loud like a cold fish. There was a kernel of an interesting story here, but neither the writer nor the director had the skill to nurture it. #Monsterdon
The lady actress has aged visibly over the movie. and I don't blame her. So have i.
Get the to a nunnery
There's way too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.
Okay so they fucked, now they're checking the internet. Are we SURE mastodonians didn't exist in the 1970s? #Monsterdon
Why does this movie feel like it's B-roll for the modern world sequences of The Gods Must Be Crazy? #Monsterdon
"The sheriff's a good friend of mine"
Helped me with that little health board issue no problem! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon You know what these credits could use?
Some music.
Wind noise and someone occasionally hitting one key on a keyboard are not music.
My god, they did the Time Warp again! #Monsterdon
Wait, so one of the nuns has a zombie hand!? Wait go back! I wanna hear more about the zombie-hand nun! #Monsterdon
This movie's getting warmer... Warmer... Nope, cold. Ice cold. #Monsterdon
“Who’s in charge of the convent?”
“Well, God, technically.”
#Monsterdon
SPACE SHUTTLE MY BELOVED I MISS YOU SO MUCH
"What's the purpose of this tour?"
We've gotta get you to meet Chris Lee somehow. #Monsterdon
Hey, I played bass for Large Earth Disruption in college :D #Monsterdon
Man, that NASA logo next to candy and cigarette vending machines might be the most 70s shot in film history. #Monsterdon
Here, I brought you several more ashtrays. #Monsterdon
lol, well you can't say that wasn't what was promised by the title, not like last week!
"They've taken the car"
NUN JOYRIDE, WOOOOO FUCK YEAH!!! LET'S GO SPIN DONUTS ON THE VATICAN'S LAWN WOOOOO #Monsterdon
I'd look mildly confused too if someone threatened to kill me. Oh wait, no I wouldn't
Yeah, the nuns are working for the federal government. You're being nundermined. #Monsterdon
Imagine if this movie actually had anything happen. #Monsterdon
The world's not gonna end, it's just getting bored to death. #Monsterdon
DO SOMETHING, GOD
Hey, he's being emotionally distant and cold! See, this IS a monster movie from the 1970s! #Monsterdon
Ugh, that 70's decor. The carpet squelches with tobacco tar as you walk across. #Monsterdon
@diazona Macbook running Debian plugged into the TV by HDMI, so that I can use my normal laptop for posting. I managed, and only 2 minutes late.
It was as if a 100000 programmers all simultaneously cried out, and were suddenly silenced.
The coffee machine exploded.
This is ACTION PACKED compared to last week!
The Lady has put her tits away and is leaving...
Once again I'm reassured that I'm not missing anything by being in the wrong time zone to watch the #Monsterdon selection. Great work, everyone, keep it up.
@CactuarJoe it was poorly shot, acted, scripted and edited...but it did deliver on the title!
#monsterdon Haha!
Well, that was dumb, but I'll give them credit for not having a sappy ending.
OMG – the Earth was full of glitter all along. I KNEW it. That's what made it so fabulous.
#monsterdon This is all footage stolen from better monster/disaster films right?
“You are an intelligent man, Professor.” I’ve seen no evidence of that, #Monsterdon
Y'know, if you were a half-conscious writer or director, you could draw some fun comparisons between abductees and the Christian concept of the Rapture.
That's not what they're DOING here, but I mean you COULD. #Monsterdon
The aliens are trying to tell him who the Zodiac is
"You didn't get canceled did you?"
can't even aliens because woke
Y'know, there's an almost 2 hour version of this film, too. I'm not sure I could survive that. Like getting drowned in styrofoam. #Monsterdon
Time for some gross, greasy 70s heterosexuality #Monsterdon
They didn't meet Chris! That was nunexpected. #Monsterdon
So we're about 25 minutes in and we still haven't hit an actual plot point yet. #Monsterdon
Please stop trying to be sexy :/ #Monsterdon
If crystal throbbing noises persist stop taking green glowing crystal and call your crystallographer.
#monsterdon
...Wait, did they actually get permission to film in NASA facilities?
...You think NASA would let me film some home movies in there, I've got *roughly* the same level of clout.
It was in this office that John Mastodon invented the toot
ewww, I don't want 70s porn, put Christopher Lee back on...
It’s Christopher Lee *and* Christopher Lee in The Pontiff Trap. #Monsterdon
Bring on the Vogon constructor fleet. #Monsterdon
Basic health and safety guidlines say that if you've been scalded by your exploding coffee machine, leaping through your neon signage is not an effective remedy.
In the category of "Christopher Lee gets a paycheck and star billing for a few days work," I give #EndOfTheWorld1977 3 out of 5 stars. He's there for a terrific opening sequence, and roughly the final third. Boy, were we glad to see him. Our heroes needed emoting lessons to sell the disasters happening off screen. At least Lee took the material seriously, no matter how confusing and dull it got.
The real star was Sue Lyon's hairdresser. Her hair was sleek and perfect, whether done up in a shiny sphere, or hanging like a frozen waterfall. Never a strand out of place. Except for that one scene where they wanted you to know that shit was getting real because she had schmutz on her face and her hair was a bit windblown.
That was a #Monsterdon all right. Thanks @Taweret for hosting. Thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card archive. Thanks @miru for the stream.
HAH! Here's that pinball table the guy was playing at the beginning of the flick. https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=19560
Aliens: We're gonna blow up the world 'cause y'all have cooties.
Protagonist and wife: They seem nice.
@CactuarJoe It wasn't that bad.
Like this was far from a good movie, but I could mostly see the movie that it wanted to be and the aesthetic was neat.
And so the Vogon Destructor fleet came by, and everyone else fucked off in to space using the new hyperspacial bypass.
Well that's was fun, fam. Basically incomprehensible and shot almost entirely in the dark, but fun.
I'll try to watch the second feature tonight, but I'll prolly pass out. I am one tired Owlbear. So in case I forget to say it later:
Everyone take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, beware of nuns.
Ugh, the Owncast stream crashed. Hope nothing happens… wait a minute. That should be low risk.
I hear a buzzing too! Let's try decoding the signal! Maybe it's an actual plot!
"I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain!"
AZIZ, LIGHT
Yeah guys, I dunno I loathed last week's movie but at least it had, like, things happen. There were Events. #Monsterdon
LOL our stupid cat just walked over the keyboard of the laptop we are streaming from and restarted the movie. Nooooooo
I had always suspected this about Nuns...
...they're heavy into ambient electronica
#Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe I'm sorry you're gonna have to sign a nun-disclosure agreement
the bad movie to Lee ratio is so dang low, I'm so sad. T_T
(I know it's early for MIR shut up)
Now that's a MIR-acle
Soundtrack by Squeaky Organs Unlimited #Monsterdon
I'm waiting for them to jump-cut to a brightly lit room. This film loves to flashbang the audience. #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe I WILL PULL THIS MOVIE OVER
"man the lighting in here sucks"
*dude just puts a lamp between the actors*
"Ah, thank you Aziz"
"Ten standard minutes."
That's how long he'll last on the honeymoon. #Monsterdon
"confirm job stream" man the work market is pretty bad when you gotta go extra-solar
Ooo, green glowing tubes of stuff, NOW we're cookin' :D #Monsterdon
Do you think the Space Shuttle and Megaweapon ever met? I feel like they'd hit it off. :3 #Monsterdon
See, kids, this is what passed for a "data center" in the 1970s.
But enough sex, now back to the dimly-lit exterior of... I'm gonna say Willy Wonka's chocolate factory? #Monsterdon
You don't get quality shag carpet like that anymore.
Even the music says "I guess we're doing this now." #Monsterdon
...Well that seems like an overreaction. #Monsterdon
@TerryHancock I'm there with you in the 108 minute crowd. I'm not sure more of this movie has served us well.
I give End of the World 3 out of 5 exploding appliances. Its best aspect was that it was weird and made no sense. Its worst aspect was that it was weird and made no sense.
The investigation sequences entertained me more than the reveal with the evil space nuns.
The best character was the synth-laden soundtrack and the second best character was the NASA vending machines.
