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".
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 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
Remember radios?
Say volcano three times and he appear
VOLCANO, VOLCANO, VOLCANO
@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
VANCOUVER VANCOUVER THIS IS IT, THIS IS IT
ten standard mints
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?
That low bloop is, in fact, what radioactivity sounds like
To be fair, real 70s computer rooms generally WERE a lot frumpier than in the movies.
Nice sound fx
#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
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.
This has Halflife vibes, and John is Barney...
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...

⁉️ 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.
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!
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
Are they sending him into Space? I wasn't paying attention....
Visiting the launch vehicle assembly facility.
this is more difficult to understand than the Peanuts teachers
#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
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...
Good thing the aliens speak English!
Whoa, that’s Sue Lyon… Lolita Sue Lyon.
"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.
This music is fantastic, as are the late 70's boats-of-cars #monsterdon
"Large Earth Disruption" 🤘
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
@CactuarJoe and once more we share the aquarius brain cell
LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION i'M SURE IT'S NOTHING. #MONSTERDON
@moira and is it the writer's secretly disguised etc etc
#monsterdon An ominous message from aliens?
Who cares? We've got a 1970s party to go to!
@Lazarou
And she didn't misplace a single hair in her coif.
lol, they fucked but had time to nip over to Work and THEN go to the banquet...
That was also the music cue for the spinning border marker in "The Corbomite Maneuver"
okay is that a disruption of large earth, or a large disruption _of_
Large Earth Disruption was really good before they changed their name to Nine Inch Nails.
#monsterdon
maybe the earth needs to eat more fiber
Something sciencey is going on. You can tell because of the spacey sounds.
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 #endoftheworld (as we know it)
Star Trek noises have appeared!
A cigarette vending machine! At NASA!
#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.
The blond has a danish (bun) on the back of her head. Stylish!
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?
I am very uncomfortable with this.
Is he taking her to the prom? They seem a little old.
This was filmed at a barbituate trial.... #monsterdon
MEANWHILE AT THE STRATEGIC PLOT RESERVE!
I wonder what the end of the world is doing right now...
Both my parents smoked my whole childhood, so I know exactly how this room smells.
She made him a drink so he could relax enough to drive. #Monsterdon

⏳ 30 MINUTE POLL
Of these actors in tonight's feature, which won an academy award?
(For another movie)
Her fondant like hair is disturbing.
Remember when living rooms had a copy of an encyclopaedia in them?! dang, lost memories.
Wait. Is this a kissing movie? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld
Here, let's have some scotch for the road, it'll help us stay calm while we drive.
Guy hasn't said a word to his wife since the Eisenhower administration
look ngl i love this soundtrack so far.
CARPETS! OF THE END OF THE WORLD!
in the late 70s every family was issued a swimming pool. I know because I was born in a swimming pool in the late 70s
SHAG CARPET!
Dig that CARPET!
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977
go go primitive synth jazz
Was there an editor strike going on when this was made? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld
@ohiofi just like that episode of Futurama
Well timed completely useless pan to the car
