Yep. The buddy guard got killed.

I called it.

#Monsterdon

Every time I look away in this movie, SOMEBODY EXPLODES!
#Monsterdon

I wish I could see his expression as he walked up to this confrontation. #Monsterdon

Lee: Do it
Or you will lose your wife!

I'm expecting

Ha! We're not married.
#monsterdon

Are those sound effects supposed to be alarms?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon the BAH-DOING, BAH-DOING alarm is going off, you know what that means

What's going on here!?

Nun of your business.

#monsterdon

"...yes, we've had some security guard positions suddenly come available."

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

I think I know where the budget went (for sick explosions)
#monsterdon  

Went up like a Russian oil refinery!! #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

@paco I have achieved...

Peak #Monsterdon

Yup, that globe turning the wrong way all right.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

[guards explode]

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Psychic-Lee

#monsterdon

No one's gonna say anything about the baby Shuttle External Tank? #Monsterdon

They shot at him so the aliens exploded them. Tit for Tattttttttttt. #Monsterdon

Hopefully they don’t shoot up the shuttle mock up.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

YEAH! WOO! Blow up more s**t movie! #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

welp

#monsterdon

Professor Boran...is a gas! [EXPLOSION]
#monsterdon

Is... is that supposed to be the warning siren?
#Monsterdon

DOnt Shoot! It's the professor! ANd tons of rocket fuel! ​:aneobot_explode:​

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Them aliens used extra pyrokinetics to blow up the car - they ain't screwing around. 😬

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld

More like Professor Moron, amirite

#monsterdon

Ah yes, good ol' Father "Kill 'Em All And Let God Sort 'Em Out" Pedro. #Monsterdon

and now, NEVERENDING NUNSENSE! #monsterdon

oh that was an alarm. I thought we were hearing the soundtrack. #Monsterdon

Damn son, you expecting a flood with those high waters?

#Monsterdon

Now we’re getting the Glowy Green Sciency thing. Everyone knows science doesn’t work right if it’s not green & glowy

#Monsterdon

Where are they going so fast? Did they forget to load backup tapes?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

why is someone now snapping a rubber band into a trash can lid for the soundtrack?

Sound the klax-nun!

#monsterdon

@Crazypedia

You could always get one from the bathroom dispenser back then.

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

Turns out time crystals are just glowsticks and the aliens could have gotten a bock of twenty at the party store

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"don't shoot, it's professor moran! also, things might explode, but mostly I'm worried about the professor!"
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

"Ah, I can't stay mad at you, Andy!" #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The same glowing green nuclear rod that gets stuck to Homer Simpson during the opening credits LOL

Doctor, does this crystal look like it's pulsing to you?

#monsterdon

This is just too boring a movie to even riff on as usual.

Filming: Fine. Night shots even look OK, tho the field "chase" was pretty bad. Some shots even look good! Charles Band's crew.

Synth: Eh. Too much, not very good, but not *bad*.

Sets: It's a convent. They rented it for a week?

Nuns: They don't do anything, not even flying. I want flying nuns!

Lee: Keeps a straight face reading any dialog, what a trooper. Never phones it in like David Carradine or whoever.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Oh good more wum wum

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

the cinematographer, again, is working so hard. so much harder than this movie deserves.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Lazarou they spent all the budget on Lee and the main couple, so...
#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

It's John Davis! #Monsterdon

"The only thing we can do: go it alone." *shrug* #monsterdon

#Monsterdon damn 1970s cars always exploding

shoulda listened to Ralph Nader

Green so hot you can hear it.

#Monsterdon

So @steggy wandered off to go to the bathroom and get a little more wine.

She has not missed a single word of dialog, yet.

Theramin? Yes. Dialog? No. Plot? No.

#monsterdon

Nice to know that NASA's… thingywhatever, I don't know, is so well guarded. It's harder to break into the local C-store than this place.

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

I'm a bit concerned that if I slip out to have a pee and refresh my drink, the entire movie will happen and I'll come back none-the-wiser for the "wife and husband just hang out in a nunnery space-basement" conclusion.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

@kamikat I dunno I took a break to have a snack and answer an email and they are still just wandering around.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

why is there light that's green, blue and magenta - but the dude is just dark?

Time to steal the dubstep-lithium crystal

#monsterdon

He just has access to the variance crystal?

#Monsterdon

This why there should be a "Always Two People" rule for the Acceleration Overthruster Vault.

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

Sure would be nice to be able to see what was going on in this scene >_> #Monsterdon

anyone else thinking the current scene has a very video-gamey sound-effects/track?

#monsterdon

Safety gear, schmafety gear, just use a glove. #Monsterdon

So apparently something is happening? But I can't read it on the computer? Nor on the print out? Apparently this movie is an eye test, too. #monsterdon

@diazona Or, like, I had any chloroform.

#monsterdon

That's the ether use musical sting.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

there sure seemed to be a lot of chloroform rags back in the 70s

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net Hrmph! Looks like one of us has to change!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

the thing is they clearly have access to some kind of synthesizer. i JUST HEARD a decent filter sweep. but they've been giving us drunken ragtime piano #monsterdon

@skatem

Maybe too embarrassed to film this in broad daylight?

#Monsterdon

Fun fact: he didn't have any chloroform on that rag, so he just used Windex. #monsterdon

@jonny damn it, you made me realize there are still twenty minutes left.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

It's the End of the World as we know it

and BWEEEEARRRRREEEEE (music)

#monsterdon

@rallias jinx you owe me a coke xD

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The time warp doesn't work any more. I jump to the left, but just can't manage to step to the right.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

this guard's job is important that's why he only has the red phone

Does this smell like chloroform to you?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

why is the music wacky

#Monsterdon

I'm going to have to rewarch Godzilla: Final Wars after this to make up for all the nothing happening here.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That's not John Davis! #Monsterdon

He's being strangled to the sounds of the Electric Fart Orchestra. #Monsterdon

And this is an alien suppository that we recovered from their spaceship...

#monsterdon

That is one really big "personal massager" #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Amazing that the night scenes are shot at night. None of that Day-night footage for this film!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Meanwhile, at NASA

#monsterdon

I do not hate this overhead plant establishing shot but I would have liked to see it in the first third of the feature. #Monsterdon

@bstacey Christopher Lee wasn’t very picky.

#Monsterdon

Look I know I'm not into this gender expression combo in general but you two are especially uncompelling.
#monsterdon

we stiill have 20 minutes to turn this around. all the pieces are there. a squad of evil alien nuns, hacking the mainframe, and so on. the only thing the movie has to do is to use the pieces it has already established to create a nun v. protagonist battle royale #monsterdon

"Sorry, Homer Simpson was handling the Variance Crystal with tongs and it got stuck on his back." #Monsterdon

Weirdly enough this movie might have passed the Bechtel test early on with Sylvia talking to the nun about the roses I think? Was the nun a named female character?

#Monsterdon

the great variance crystal heist

#monsterdon

I wonder what Christopher Lee and the six nuns are doing.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I'M DOCTOR TED NELSON #Monsterdon

DEATH BY FART NOISE
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Can't wait for the Hive Queen of the aliens to appear:
Mother Superior

#Monsterdon

put him in the background so we can't be sure who it is.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Didn't they just have breakfast and now it's pitch black already? No way did he need to drive all day to get there.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That was a really short day. Are they near the arctic circle ?

#monsterdon

When Christopher Lee was promised top-billing in the sequel to The Magic Christian, this is not what he had in mind.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

This could be 8x cooler if they had finer control of his shadow. #Monsterdon

@moira They wrestle with temptation. #Monsterdon

What's the opposite of Prog Rock?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

But did they drink their juice before leaving? #monsterdon

@amyfou@lingo.lol perfect union of fashion and function
