Hang on...is this entire film just an elaborate Jack Chick tract?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon The nuns take turns praying to the aliens for the best roses.

Will no one help the widow's son #Monsterdon

sub-warp speed huh

while you're in an underground bunker

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

So this convent has a band?

Daft Nuns

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Everyone just sit here while we make the most of all these expensive props.
#monsterdon

Now I'm getting Catholic Church is behind a world wide conspiracy vibes crossed with "And they're aliens!"

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

They sure are lucky. Every time they stumble on some place super secret, they get taken on a guided tour.

#monsterdon

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

wooooeeeeeoooo wooooeeeeeeoooo

woaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooowwww

🎵

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Did this movie just become a classic Doctor Who episode?
#monsterdon

also WHAT A TWEEST

#monsterdon

Neow neow neow!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

OH no! The cat alarm won't stop!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Perhaps he should have asked his friend in that underground NSA facility about the convent?

Wouldn't that make sense? In case it was another spy facility?

Name one other movie where the nuns are aliens. #monsterdon

space nuns?

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

She calls it "The Stranger"

#Monsterdon

nundroids hauling them down into the nunderground

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@xerozohar Pope's gonna sue me for telling their competitors about their cash flow problems D: #Monsterdon

So evil alien convent.

If a guy pops out of blue police box I'm going to bed.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Wow St. Catherine’s is REALLY high tech!

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

Oops all Christopher Lees

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Lazarou admire their commitment to doing dumb things together #Monsterdon

Sister Mary Catherine is a bit of a brute.

#Monsterdon

The only thing we can do Pinky. Try to take over the Convent.

NARF!

#Monsterdon

"What are we gonna do?"
"The only thing we can do."
"Report it to your connections in the government and military?"
"No, go it alone. What could go wrong?"
#Monsterdon

This is the music that plays every time I open Claude Code.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

We should definitely not tell anyone else on Earth about this alien threat. #Monsterdon

@mxchara I think that character was mostly Stanley Tucci realizing what movie he was in and rolling with it to enjoy himself.

#Monsterdon

"The only thing we can do. Smoke like chimneys."

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"What are we going to do?"

"The only thing we can do... fuck."

#monsterdon

oh hooray, night has fallen again

#monsterdon

Jesus is a Russian spy!

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

See this looks more like you're just intercepting spy satellite messages, with the world's worst encryption

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The source of these messages is really unclear. These are supposed to be aliens, not secret government communications he's intercepting?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That suit jacket was banned by the Moire Convention.
#monsterdon

I don't actually see a computer in this room. I see 2 line printers, 3 terminals, a 9-track tape drive.... behind him more printing terminals / teletypes....

#monsterdon

He is likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Should've brought a torch.

(Are any of these old text/ASCII based game jokes landing, or am I only amusing myself? Don't get me wrong, imma jeep making them either way…)

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

@Louisa bore-or movie

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon does it count as a horror movie if nothing happens?

Boop meter failure

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

(demolishing the Sweet and Spicy cones, there's not much else happening after all)

#Monsterdon

They left their proton packs in the car. What happens when that PKE meter goes to eleven?

#Monsterdon

I think he'd be better off if he had a machine that went "ping"

#monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld

I always knew nuns were pod people

#monsterdon

Coming up: one solid hour of the beeping machine and no monster

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

And now the Ghost Hunters portion of the movie. What will show up on the EVP this time?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

This is the most dramatic soundtrack ever for people slowly walking around a residential building

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The convent is a motor lodge?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

@amyfou@lingo.lol I am forcefully escorted around the convent

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Oh. Christopher Lee is a priest?

#Monsterdon

Well. It's. An attempt at blocking & panning. So. Good for you. Good for you. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Father Dracula, have you noticed anything evil going on?

The set designer put 6 random people at a table with one mug each. Not one of them is moving, nor drinking.

#monsterdon

That’s right. Blame the opera-loving nun. She just wanted to hear Suor Angelica

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou

How could it detect anything else!

#Monsterdon

Tricorder readings are off the scale, Captain

#monsterdon

"Do you ever hear strange noises here in the convent?.."
"Occasionally animal noises."

'Sister, fetch the unicorn."

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

sure is nice the nuns get coffee every day at a table

#monsterdon

Christopher Lee is smiling like he can't believe how good it feels to not have fangs jammed in his teeth.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Nunneries are creepy af.

#Monsterdon

please give christopher a microphone

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Good gawd (pun intended)

#monsterdon

I'm Christopher Lee, you might remember me from the first scene.
#monsterdon

my wife and i saw your convent from across the bar, and... #monsterdon

It's the End of the World as we know it

and where's chris lee dammit

oh there he is

#monsterdon

“He always welcomes strangers.”

Doesn’t sound creepy at all.

#Monsterdon

Shittiest parking job ever.

#monsterdon

Father Pagoda?
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

@klu9 I think his contract might have stipulated billing by the minute on this one.

#monsterdon

What's with all the wholesome marital sex? Don't they know it's 1977? #Monsterdon

creepy nun just standing there....

#Monsterdon

Andrew turn the light back on, if I can't see you I feel like I'm making love to a Furby

#Monsterdon

@culturednyc This came out in August 1977, Close Encounters in December 1977. So John Williams probably stole it very quickly ಠ_ಠ #monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 the opening scene was promising. i want that movie back #monsterdon

This amount of nudity and sexuality is really low for a late 70s movie.
#monsterdon

Gratuitous towel action!

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

"we need to get a longer car"
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

Neither can we, Andy. Neither can we.

Presumably Salyut 5 or 6 for the soviet stations?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Grandfatherly cardigan.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Circular graphs!

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

Ah 1977, when you could just wander into a secret military outpost and get a guided tour

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

is this where they run the numbers stations from

#monsterdon

Never trust a man wearing a string tie

#Monsterdon

Joeseph Beckerman?? Of the southampton Beckermans??
#monsterdon

(Sweet and Spicy Cones are activated!)

#Monsterdon

Thank you for speaking up for the audience, ma'am. #Monsterdon

I keep on expecting his name to be "Buran", not "Boran"

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Big smiles all around. "Oh you're still not going to leave here alive."

#monsterdon

Any relation to Schlermy Beckerman?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

"What's the matter?"

"We talk to each other once a month on the telephone."

In 2026, that would indeed be unusual!

#monsterdon

They pinned us against the wall with a shotgun! It's a gag! #Monsterdon

glasses guy might as well be Christopher Lee for all that this movie wants me to see what's going on

#Monsterdon

oh no L Ron Hubbard #Monsterdon

❌ Aliens
✅ Muggers

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

It's a zoo for commandos!

#monsterdon

haunted saloon piano running amok offscreen #monsterdon

#monsterdon They don't, though.

They don't do that.
