Starfleet beams its sound effects back into the past. #Monsterdon

“I’m not talking about anything on earth”

So the aliens are communicating in three-word English phrases? #Monsterdon

Was this a banquet in the suburbs? Was that an unrelated cook out? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION

Compare with ELE, I guess

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

okay is that a disruption of large earth, or a large disruption _of_

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Large Earth Disruption was really good before they changed their name to Nine Inch Nails.
#monsterdon

maybe the earth needs to eat more fiber

#monsterdon

Something sciencey is going on. You can tell because of the spacey sounds.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@brews #monsterdon

oh, I don't know, the pinball machine was pretty cool too.

"What's so important?" asked the audience surrogate.
#monsterdon

That's odd, why's the VAX making noises like the Enterprise's sensors? #Monsterdon

i did not expect "star trek noises intensify" in this movie but

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Star Trek noises have appeared!

A cigarette vending machine! At NASA!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon are these background sound effects from the Star Trek TOS bridge set?

Now I’m fixated on the computers. I don’t think they are TRS-80 but boy to they resemble. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Horny radio astronomer. My favorite Hollywood stereotype. #Monsterdon

Oh that's what NASA headquarters looked like, good to know.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

He'll never make it?
Buddy there are exercises that can help with that.
#monsterdon

heterosexual monsterdonians, if there are any of you, you can confirm that this is as sexless and off-putting for you as it is for us, right?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Is he taking her to the prom? They seem a little old.

#Monsterdon

I am very uncomfortable with this.

#Monsterdon

This was filmed at a barbituate trial.... #monsterdon

@Lazarou Well it is important because it leads to the crane shot.

Few sane conversations begin with "I was deciphering signals from outer space."

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon enjoy the zoom lens, cinematographer. they're still exciting in the 70s

Whatever device you are using to rip on this movie is more powerful than that entire room of computers was.

Just saying.

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

Here comes a scientist! You can tell by the lab coat.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The celestial sphere model is how you know this is a space computer cluster

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Gritty Peanuts reboot

#Monsterdon

He's wearing a lab coat in case one of the computers pees on him.

#monsterdon

I have a sad feeling we'll never seen that computer room again. #Monsterdon

It has an intriguing plot so far. I just hope they get around to letting us in on it.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@bstacey That's true, more has happened in the first two minutes of this movie than all of last week's

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

⁉️ CATACLYSMIC TRIVIA 🌏🔥

Sir Christopher Lee on End of the World:

Part 2 of 2

"Some years ago, I got a call from my producers saying that they were sending me a script and that five very distinguished American actors were also going to be in the film. Actors like José Ferrer, Dean Jagger, and John Carradine. So I thought "Well, that's all right by me". But it turned out it was a complete lie.

Appropriately, the film was called End of the World."

#Monsterdon

Can someone get the sound guy on the horn and tell him to take the microphone out of that stale jar of mulberry jam, please?
