#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

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

@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

@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

@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!

@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

@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

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Nun shall pass.

@cd0 OMG! Not Tuvix!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Wait I had commercials and it isn't over yet 😞

#monsterdon

Was the whole Earth a price worth paying for a few scenes with Christopher Lee?

Thank you @Taweret, for blowing up the planet with a variance crystal!

#Monsterdon

Damn, even the ending credits are out of focus on this movie
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

#monsterdon ohhhhh Simmy Bow was the janitor in Beetlejuice, of course!

So the title was a spoiler

#Monsterdon

John Hayes, thank you for trying. #Monsterdon

And the real star of the movie was...the computer room!

Thanks for watching with me #monsterdon !

Very special thanks to our host @Taweret and to trivia master @JoeWynne
EN and bingo card genius @cherizilla (away but still in our hearts!)

See y'all next week for even more bad films...in whcih hopefully SOMETHING happens, yeah?

💤

#Monsterdon jesus how much longer is in this movie. half of y'all are already finished?

Heh heh dick band #Monsterdon

Hmm. My copy of this movie crapped out right before the end and now I’ll never know what happened.

#Monsterdon

Awww yisssss! Earth asplode!

#Monsterdon

Wow. We've seen lots of flicks that didn't live up to their trailer but this one takes the cake. That trailer was literally the 60 seconds where something happened and it was great! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Never judge a book by it's cover or a trailer by its Christopher Lee and have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

There's a lot of people in these credits w/ the same last name. Weird, huh. #Monsterdon

Full Moon No. 4

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon

Explosion effects brought to you by the neighborhood kids with fireworks.

And again, Boom! Abrupt and weird ending!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Okay, #monsterdon: I don't need a GOOD movie, but could we pick one next week that uses lighting and features some sort of active story?

Yes take the transubstantiporter

#monsterdon

Nuns/Aliens, my favorite dual class D&D character #Monsterdon

And NOW we're hearing about a variance crystal? #monsterdon

and thus our protagonists fucked off into an interstellar bypass that will now not need to be built. there were two Christopher Lees (Christophers Lee?) in this movie, and frankly i don't think that was enough to save it.

#monsterdon #EndoftheWorld1977

#monsterdon

"Always look on the bright ... side of life!"

I don't know about you, but I find the best way to establish the planet-endangering stakes of a sci-fi movie is to have inconsequential back-ground chatter of natural disasters in distant corners of the world sprinkled here and there; and then spend the entire movie focussing on a quiet normal parochial part of California where nothing much is happening apart from coffee-machine explosions.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

well, I'll give it this much: it delivered on the title

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

🦖 MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Earth's chunks fuck off into the universe! But you all saved the watch party because you are the true funny Real-Time Film Analysis Squad.

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting tonight's cataclysmic catastrophe. Hope this theme is out of our system now. Thank you for all you do!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for getting us two Bingo cards while you are away!

#Monsterdon

Beneath the Planet of the Apes did it better. Just saying.
#monsterdon

The disaster footage looked like Tsuburaya Toho stuff; is it from "Japan Sinks"?

#monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon so he.... blew up the plant? Is that going to prevent the large earth disruption? Christopher Lee looks not mad, but disappointed.

🎵 We'll meet again
🎵 Don't know where
🎵 Don't know when!

#monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and miru for the cast and everyone for everything but jeez I'm tired after that bore-fest.

CHRIS LEE, OUT

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I don't think they did get a good night's sleep.

Macdonald Carey took this role so he can have a shorter name. #Monsterdon

Fun watching with you, good times again at the old #monsterdon  

End of the World (1977) - 0/5

No events occurred

#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

And now we get a music score with the odd sound effects? How odd! #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon well, congrats on the horniest het-married couple on a disease emitting blighted planet for escaping and spreading the diseases far and wide. In interplanetary warfare terms this means "we won"

THAT'S THE END? Holy hell. What a movie.
Do you like protagonists who save the day? Do you like characters who find a solution?

Yeah, go fuck off. Here is the earth exploding.

#monsterdon
