"It had to happen!" No, not really. #monsterdon

Movie in the foreground, episode of Friends in the background #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

"When you talk of this wisdom" and these teeth #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

"a Brave New World" now who could possibly object to that?? #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

I feel like the stakes should have been made clear earlier in the movie but that would require some sort of competency not possessed by anyone involved in producing this movie. #monsterdon

"One is force to look bacon survey, the past" #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

"Half of what makes this reputation belongs to you" awwww it's so sweet when married couples still get along after all that time #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

George: "It means everything to me. You have such beautiful... glands" #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

15 minutes left to destroy the Earth #monsterdon

"It's easy to say" not with your accent George #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

Oh no. The #monsterdon streams are out of sync.

Now everyone delayed will learn that this guy and ludwig drive off the edge of the grand canyon in a convertible while running from the FBI.

(spoilers for 20 minutes in the future, btw)

"I have been taking this fluid every six hours!!" me complaining about having to stay hydrated #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

yeah pal I've been "taking this fluid" every 6 hours too

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

dude had a stroke, don't be blaming him for not coming earlier

#Monsterdon

I like that the globe is rotating, but not on the axis. #monsterdon

@strangefour playa gonna play

#Monsterdon

If you're bisexual, just say so already. #Monsterdon

This guy really likes Beethoven #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

"It doesn't make you happy" no but those do #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

Not sure Hazel Court's character is elevated particularly by wearing a cushion on her head #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

whoa, all the security guys just exploded! what is even happening. #monsterdon

Lady, he's probably got a real bad habit.

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

"I saw the statue last night" is that what the kids are calling it these days? #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

No instrument implies life-or-death tension quite like the glockenspiel #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

#Monsterdon

And the Earth blows up in the explosive conclusion.

Earth go BOOM!
#Monsterdon

And now time for more popcorn.

He looks like me after I finished watching that last movie.

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

one last thing: shoutout to the STS Enterprise (I think?) for the cameo in "End of the World."

Well done, ye old girl. well done. 🖖

#monsterdon

Just carries a bottle of chloroform with him, "for reasons" I guess? #monsterdon

The subtitles on this are horny for the sounds of drawers and locks.
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

"I Need A New Watch" the rejected initial title of I Want A New Drug #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

#Monsterdon

Nicely hypocritical parting words from smug alien jerk.

#Monsterdon

I can't say I approve of these aliens' agenda.

#monsterdon still alternating between having The End of the World (Skeeter Davis) and It's the End of the World as We Know It (REM) stuck in my head

Sculptural nipples. *wink*
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

This is before Dr Bonner established his soap empire #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

So... is the world going to end or what? I don't have all day. #monsterdon

I don't like the mustache. But it's not bad. His haircut feels more off. It's too stern and slick. But that fit is killer. Really shows off his figure.
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

Christopher! That mustache! How gauche!
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@RobynGoodfellow @holly My Dinner with Andre

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon well that was definitely a film.

it *did* have some explosions and christopher lee's head turned briefly into an alien head, so i guess that was cool :D

Oh is this gonna be the sculpture of Dorian Grey?
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@holly Mary Poppins. The Devil Wears Prada. Paddington. Oh! Babe: Pig in the City. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret it's a habit

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Rue Noire aka Rue McLanahan's after dark alias #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

I came back to credit text. Well the lighting is already a great improvement. Is this a period piece?
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@Louisa@mastodon.xyz yeah it takes a team to make movies sound good and no this movie did not have one, and yes most #monsterdon movies are bad but this one was exceptionally noisy

"bright flute music"?

#Monsterdon
#TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

#monsterdon See Hammer Horror figured out this whole shooting at night thing ages ago. Just get 10 minutes of blurred lights in a pitch black soundstage and you can re-foley and re-use them in every fim you make going forward

#Monsterdon no 7 minutes *plus* however much time is left in the credits

#Monsterdon tubi *claims* it's 87 minutes

just got to the credits now at 94 minutes into watching, which i assume means 7 minutes of commercials?

And they fucked off into the sea.

*shit, you don’t know. coulda happened

#Monsterdon

Oh good, another invisible nocturnal movie #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

There was definitely a point early on where it felt like someone in this production was actually trying to make a movie. That NASA tracking shot was legitimately cool! And then ... I don't know. It's like they lost interest and finished up quick so they could go watch Sha Na Na get their hambone boiled or whatever people did in the 70s.

#monsterdon

End of the World was a bit slow, but overall not bad, and I did appreciate the sound design, even if the synth was a bit loud and repetitive at points.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon are all movies naturally like this, and it takes a skilled sound team to make sure most movies don't sound this way? Or was the sound here uniquely bad

Timpani = dramatic music #monsterdon

"car blew up, guess we walk back and face Christopher Lee and his band of Space Nuns." #monsterdon

its so dark, i assume we're in a musical intermision?

#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@bunnyhero @pngwen @apLundell ? steteotubi? #monsterdon

It's a lark

#Monsterdon

@pngwen @apLundell i have definitely seen more than one version of the same movie on tubi before #monsterdon

@brooke I think I was on the remastered version and it finished several minutes ago 🤷

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I've seen WorldCon business meetings with better pacing that that movie. #Monsterdon

I thought Ensure was the liquid that cheats death #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

@brooke I saw an earlier post that suggested that there was indeed a longer cut: maybe thats' the one you got? the one off IA was a couple minutes less than 90.

#monsterdon

@apLundell weird! My Tubi version says 1:48 minutes. There's two versions on Tubi?!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Yup, never install a natural gas furnace in your Tahiti beachside hut, that's just an explosion waiting to happen.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld

Well that was pretty bad, but I think it ranked pretty high on my list of #monsterdon enjoyment, so I'll take it.

Thank you all for your toots!

And thank you @Taweret for hosting.

#Monsterdon ALIEN CHRISTOPHER LEE HEAD OMG

My theory is this was supposed to be one of those "Five movies fighting for supremacy" deals, but only two of them showed up.

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

Finding a total stranger? At this hour? #monsterdon

@brooke Oh I think it was remastered and released on a two-DVD set with director's commentary as a Criterion release.

#monsterdon

I managed to get a #bingo on this one.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977 #monsterdonbingo

@nev It's just gonna be a combination of Flash Gordon; Independence Day; Invasion of the Body Snatchers; and This Island Earth.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

Okie dokie that Was a Big End! #Monsterdon #EndOfWorld
In a really weird way, it was kind of an interesting, low budget movie. Christopher Lee!

I need a drink!
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@Violinknitter It's for the best

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon oh my God, the credits just ended and I feel like the white noise machine of a movie that was blasting at me since 9:00 has finally silenced

Ah, it's over. No post-credits scene.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

THE END

of End Of The World.

#Monsterdon

I sure hope the double feature is less bad than End of the World. Yall ruining my movie curve more than Weekend at Bernies.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

@kshernandez 🎉

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I played on hard mode, and I’m surprised I got this many squares.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon is the "remastered" version longer or am i getting four times the commercials of everybody else?

@pineheap True, I didn't want to take that liberty tho. :(

#Monsterdon #EndofTheWorld1977

I'm calling the way they kept pulling out new ways for making whatever they needed to happen happen, Alien Repeatedly Reveals New Powers.

#monsterdonbingo

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Thank you, @cherizilla for the Invasion of the Star Creatures card!

I don't think this band of brothers is v talented. #Monsterdon

As the credits slowly slide upwards ... I wonder what Christopher Lee and the six nuns are doing.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Pam eddy, the script supervisor ever did get another supervisory job after this hit theatres.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

still photographer? were there moving pictures in this motion picture?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Jerry Wolfe is still a photographer. Even after this nightmare. #Monsterdon

@paco

Duckface, before duckface.

#Monsterdon

So like thus far they've ended a convent. At this rate, ending the world will take a very long time.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Harry Woolman, thank you for trying. #Monsterdon

Everyone keeps comparing this movie to last week’s movie, and I genuinely cannot remember a single thing about last week’s movie

#Monsterdon

@Binder all I know is, if Id observed the aliens using it individually, I would've followed that pattern 😛

#monsterdon

more movies should end with "and then the earth exploded the end"

#monsterdon

Harry Arends is when I go get a shave. #Monsterdon

@cd0 OMG! Not Tuvix!
