@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 π€·
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.
@apLundell weird! My Tubi version says 1:48 minutes. There's two versions on Tubi?!
Yup, never install a natural gas furnace in your Tahiti beachside hut, that's just an explosion waiting to happen.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
I played on hard mode, and Iβm surprised I got this many squares.
#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. :(
I'm calling the way they kept pulling out new ways for making whatever they needed to happen happen, Alien Repeatedly Reveals New Powers.
#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.
Pam eddy, the script supervisor ever did get another supervisory job after this hit theatres.
still photographer? were there moving pictures in this motion picture?
Jerry Wolfe is still a photographer. Even after this nightmare. #Monsterdon
So like thus far they've ended a convent. At this rate, ending the world will take a very long time.
Harry Woolman, thank you for trying. #Monsterdon
Everyone keeps comparing this movie to last weekβs movie, and I genuinely cannot remember a single thing about last weekβs movie
@Binder all I know is, if Id observed the aliens using it individually, I would've followed that pattern π
more movies should end with "and then the earth exploded the end"
Harry Arends is when I go get a shave. #Monsterdon
@cd0 OMG! Not Tuvix!
#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)
Nun shall pass.
@Taweret Wait I had commercials and it isn't over yet π
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!
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
Cool idea poorly implemented.
John Hayes, thank you for trying. #Monsterdon
well i liked the last five minutes or so and the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Christopher Lee Alien Head reveal
stacks of tvs like a Nam June Paik piece
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?
π€
#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 Iβll never know what happened.
Awww yisssss! Earth asplode!
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
Explosion effects brought to you by the neighborhood kids with fireworks.
And again, Boom! Abrupt and weird ending!
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
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.
"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.
well, I'll give it this much: it delivered on the title
π¦ 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.
β€οΈ Thank you @Taweret for hosting tonight's cataclysmic catastrophe. Hope this theme is out of our system now. Thank you for all you do!
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for getting us two Bingo cards while you are away!
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 so he.... blew up the plant? Is that going to prevent the large earth disruption? Christopher Lee looks not mad, but disappointed.
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
π΅ We'll meet again
π΅ Don't know where
π΅ Don't know when!
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
And now we get a music score with the odd sound effects? How odd! #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977
Christopher's least greatest role. ZINDAR the Zarbarian.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld
#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.
I... uh.... hmm.
@cptbutton @randy_s Well, technically....
"On Earth, your talents are used for destruction. On ours, we use them to build."
Says a guy who just xenocided Earth with disasters!
Fucking always hypocrite aliens.
But are they really gonna take some diseased Humans? That doesn't make any sense.
Pyrotechnics team level up: Car, methane tank, EARTH.
Well, that's it. No more movies, no more Earth. Maybe Arthur & Ford got away, too?
Sue Lyon? That'd explain her lush mane. #Monsterdon
That's the highest happening-to-end-result ratio we had in a while. Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting. #monsterdon
That's no time warp, that's a garden archway #monsterdon
ZINDAR, Cow from Hell #Monsterdon
@trixter We'll there's your problem.
Did I just hear slide whistle?
I think I just heard slide whistle.
This movie has EVERYTHING!
Thatβs a lot of glitter, maybe a metric crap ton #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977
So... there's glitter inside the earth!!
Who knew the earth was so full of glitter?
Just fkn glitter everywhere in that sound stage now. #Monsterdon
I liked the way the Earth was full of glitter, that was nice. Very gay :D #Monsterdon
OH MY GOD THE GLITTERπ€£
#Monsterdon
oh well!
oh. okay
LMFAO π€£π€£β:aneobot_explode:βπ
