@xerozohar So did any song that wasn't on the first four R.E.M. records.

@401matthall @overholt Technically it's not too late... (https://miru.miyaku.media is a good option if you actually would like to join in partway through)

OK, yes, I know you just had a traumatic encounter but hold up, I wanna follow this will o wisp. #Monsterdon

Well, shit, something almost happened. That was a close one.

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

Also, if my bingo board has alcohol in a square, is that alcohol in the movie or my hand? Asking for a friend #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon No exit strategy, no situational awareness, and a high pitched thrumming noise. Good, go berzerk. Berzerk beeotches don't fetch no coffee! WENCH!

I’ve lost the plot, I need to know what model 82 is from April 1977 or older. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Interesting that a mock-up shuttle shows up in a bad movie 4 years before STS-1 #monsterdon

Andrew?
I remembered something is supposed to happen eventually?
#Monsterdon

I think the world ended, that's why nothing is happening

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Andrew? Andrew? Will you turn off the Moog now, Andrew?

#monsterdon

She just walked in a circle for 2 minutes of film time. That was an amazing use of media. #Monsterdon

my threshold for "things happening" in real life: animals or inanimate objects are performing some action that i find interesting or relates to me.

my threshold for "things happening" in movies: explosions, sinister space dames, horrible monsters fucking everything up

#monsterdon

Maybe the world deserves to end if this is the best team we have
#monsterdon

Attempting to watch this installment of Monsterdon outside on a sunny day was clearly a mistake in hindsight #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"We could get in trouble."
"If it's the end of the world nobody will care."
"Maybe. What makes you say that?"
#monsterdon

wait for it .... wait for it ... aaannnnd .... never mind. Nothing jumped out from the shadows.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Despite all my rage, I am still just a wife in a cage.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

@CactuarJoe can't see shit, capn!

#monsterdon

Can someone restart the movie, please? I think it froze.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon

"We'll get in trouble"

"Yeah, we might."

Time-stamping the possible famous last words

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

can sneaking through a hole in the fence count as a 'secret passage' for bingo purposes?

A zoo for ANTS?!?!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"Andrew, we might get in trouble!"
"That's what makes it sexy, baby."
[More terrible synth music]
#MONSTERDON

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

it's already nighttime?

@neia As noted in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather, of all places

#Monsterdon

Thank god they lit this so we wouldn't be disturbed by "scenery" or "objects"
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

@CactuarJoe Ba-dum-tis!

#monsterdon

I can just imagine St. Catherine getting sick of listening to everyone's prayers and tending this one random church garden to decompress

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon US vs imperial standard minutes

#monsterdon Thrill as our hero strolls around a convent!

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

and here's some nuns

#monsterdon

So... The nuns' praying is accidentally communing with aliens and sending them code to geologically attack Kinshasa?

... those missionaries will stop at nothing.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

There were two nuns gardening and one nun said to the other

#monsterdon

Hot nun-sploitation action!
Hot & heavy flower gardening!
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

the Nun is guilty of the sin of Pride

#Monsterdon

THEIR MINUTES ARE MEASURED ON A DIFFERENT SCALE THAN OURS????

Maybe you have a severe head injury or a dangerously high fever or are taking hallucinogens to say something so stupid.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon You can drive to the origin of a signal from space?

What did I misunderstant?

That's a lot of off screen devastation happening.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Taweret Right? If we don't get a connection to first scene, that also means the filmmakers gratuitously blinded a man for no reason.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The theremin is essential when trying to contact God

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I wonder what Christopher Lee is up to. I hope this movie has more Christopher Lee than Death Line did.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Bluedepth look, those big light bulbs are expensive

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

And now, on As The World Turns...

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

#monsterdon So why did that guy set up that work light?

Just to make the scene dramatic?

if you've never worked on the stage before, that is known as a "ghost light" and is turned on and left out all the time the stage lights aren't on - so you don't trip over set pieces or fall into a trap door hole!

#monsterdon

Ghost light! Spooky! 👻

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

Careful movie, you don't want to give your audience ideas on how to leave when things get boring

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

As common as Ma Bell. We all know how that turned out.

#Monsterdon

MF 23 minutes into a less-than-stellar 70s movie on #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Surprise interlude where Lord Buckethead appears and does unclear antics.

We get more star trek noises in the computer room as Andrew goes back to listen to the space computers and gets more messages that I can't read but I guess said "10 standard minutes".

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

They'll need a second honeymoon since he didn't make it to the bedroom during the first one.
#monsterdon

Motherfuckers just smoked all the time, in all the places, and didn’t give a fuck back then.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Everyone is remarkably unconcerned about mysterious messages from space.

#Monsterdon i wonder what the large earth disruption is up to

LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION #monsterdon

VOLCANO VOLCANO VOLCANO

#MONsterdon

Remember radios?

#Monsterdon

Say volcano three times and he appear

#monsterdon

VOLCANO, VOLCANO, VOLCANO

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@saucerlost @_L1vY_ Yeah, though given that I have a good quality local copy on Plex I decided to just use that instead and make it easy

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

VANCOUVER VANCOUVER THIS IS IT, THIS IS IT

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

ten standard mints

#monsterdon

This reminds me of a fun statistics assignment I came up with a long time ago. There's a specific window of time when earthquakes correlate very well with space shuttle flights. Does this prove that NASA has an earthquake ray?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That low bloop is, in fact, what radioactivity sounds like

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon

To be fair, real 70s computer rooms generally WERE a lot frumpier than in the movies.

Nice sound fx

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

#monsterdon [deep breath] NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET

He's confiding in the security guard because he's the only person in here allowed to carry a gun. #Monsterdon

I bet you could bounce a penny off that guy's hair. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Filmed on location!
Name that Decepticon hiding in plain sight.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Ray: bork bork bork bork bork bork bork bork

#monsterdon

My theory is that his shirt gets smaller and smaller with each successive scene. By the credits, those buttons will be able to put a dime sized hole in a man's head.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

This has Halflife vibes, and John is Barney...

#Monsterdon

wonder which shuttle assembly plant they filmed this at. i got to tour ne of them as a kid, before the shuttle took off.... might be the same one, it looks really similar! i remember those locked filing cabinets...

#monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ CATACLYSMIC TRIVIA 🌏🔥

NON ANACHRONISTIC

👀Note the appearance of STS-1 (Space Shuttle) that was launched in 1981, five years after production of tonight's feature.

Most likely, footage was obtained of a Rockwell shuttle mock-up that was built in 1972. It was on public display at their facility during the production of End of the World.

#Monsterdon

The most relatable aspect of this film so far is that he might lose his job for not talking to the public about UFOs. #monsterdon

I do like that shiny head Ray here has a hearing assist behind his ear. #Monsterdon

hey, it's John!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Pretty sure that "computer" sound effect was used in the original "Star Trek".

But then, a lot of those were actually stock Hollywood effects. They're on Internet Archive now, BTW.

thank goodness for subtitles, i would not have understood a thing the old guy said

#monsterdon

Are they sending him into Space? I wasn't paying attention....

#Monsterdon

Visiting the launch vehicle assembly facility.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

this is more difficult to understand than the Peanuts teachers

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I feel like children's educational programming was constantly showing me this kind of factory, making cars or cheese or whatever

I am begging this movie to stop having so much background noise while characters are talking

#Monsterdon

They had to film at a real factory right? No way is this all dress setting
#monsterdon

The look and feel is very 70's public service safety videos. #monsterdon

OSHA in action! Helmets on everyone!
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

@paco The only thing worse that day for night is night for night...

#Monsterdon

Okay this is cool. This looks like it might have actually been shot at NASA. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Good thing the aliens speak English!

#monsterdon

Whoa, that’s Sue Lyon… Lolita Sue Lyon.

#Monsterdon

"I'm so proud of you Andrew. You made it all the way to the bedroom before finishing."
#Monsterdon

Sensors show a Klingon invasion fleet.
