@ottaross @CactuarJoe in our modern age it's nice to have something which was exactly what was promised

*world ends

#Monsterdon

Rocketdyne division of Rockwell International shout-out.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Lazarou @CactuarJoe That title was bang on!

#Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 could have been a 50 minute Twilight Zone episode....in Daylight

#Monsterdon

And so the Vogon Destructor fleet came by, and everyone else fucked off in to space using the new hyperspacial bypass.

Well that's was fun, fam. Basically incomprehensible and shot almost entirely in the dark, but fun.

I'll try to watch the second feature tonight, but I'll prolly pass out. I am one tired Owlbear. So in case I forget to say it later:

Everyone take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, beware of nuns.

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

And as our protagonist and his wife fuck off into space, we say aloha to Chris Lee and his obviously way too small paycheck. As always, there's just one last thing to do before you leave the theater.

Was END OF THE WORLD (1977) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

And there's a chunk of the earth flying by. A chunk with the water and the land still together...

#monsterdon

@paco @davesdogmaggie

Take me to you Christopher LEE-der

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

if this ends up with them being 'Adam and Eve'....

#Monsterdon

Ugh, the Owncast stream crashed. Hope nothing happens… wait a minute. That should be low risk.

I love that little wooden desk lost in the middle of this factory floor
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Is this The Simpsons?

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

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

never thought a movie about Christopher Lee and some Alien clone-nuns could be so DULL

Make more appliances explode!

#Monsterdon

I'm not sure that *I* could live with myself if I got Christopher Lee for my movie and gave him a script this bad

#Monsterdon

AZIZ, LIGHT

#monsterdon

"Emergency Speed" Is when you're 30 min from any rest stop and the 3 big gulps kick in. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Yeah guys, I dunno I loathed last week's movie but at least it had, like, things happen. There were Events. #Monsterdon

Did I enjoy last weeks movie more? Or am I regretting not having alcohol for the movie this week? Only the clone of Christopher Lee knows for sure.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

LOL our stupid cat just walked over the keyboard of the laptop we are streaming from and restarted the movie. Nooooooo

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I'm sorry you're gonna have to sign a nun-disclosure agreement

#monsterdon

the bad movie to Lee ratio is so dang low, I'm so sad. T_T

#monsterdon

So, we have both The End of the World (1977) and The Cat from Outer Space (1978) as movies where the scientist protagonist is styled like Carl Sagan

#Monsterdon

The story is kind of like War Games, but nowhere NEAR as entertaining. #monsterdon

(I know it's early for MIR shut up)

#monsterdon

Now that's a MIR-acle

#monsterdon

"So you're Professor Boring."

#Monsterdon

Soundtrack by Squeaky Organs Unlimited #Monsterdon

I'm waiting for them to jump-cut to a brightly lit room. This film loves to flashbang the audience. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I WILL PULL THIS MOVIE OVER

#monsterdon

"man the lighting in here sucks"
*dude just puts a lamp between the actors*
"Ah, thank you Aziz"

#monsterdon

"Ten standard minutes."

That's how long he'll last on the honeymoon. #Monsterdon

The NEW hit single from Large Earth Disruption: Volcano, Volcano, Volcano

#Monsterdon

"confirm job stream" man the work market is pretty bad when you gotta go extra-solar

#monsterdon

I feel legally obligated to point out that radioactive substances don't glow green (usually)

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Ooo, green glowing tubes of stuff, NOW we're cookin' :D #Monsterdon

Do you think the Space Shuttle and Megaweapon ever met? I feel like they'd hit it off. :3 #Monsterdon

See, kids, this is what passed for a "data center" in the 1970s.

#Monsterdon

"I'm so proud of you Andrew."

You didn't piddle on the carpet once!

#Monsterdon

Shout out to my second favorite character in this movie, Nasa Vending Machines.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

But enough sex, now back to the dimly-lit exterior of... I'm gonna say Willy Wonka's chocolate factory? #Monsterdon

Even the music says "I guess we're doing this now." #Monsterdon

what if this actually was the plot to Disclosure Day?

#Monsterdon

This dude is monitoring the 1970s internet

#Monsterdon

well, at least things are happening so far

#Monsterdon

...Well that seems like an overreaction. #Monsterdon

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

@TerryHancock I'm there with you in the 108 minute crowd. I'm not sure more of this movie has served us well.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Christopher's least greatest role. ZINDAR the Zarbarian.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Do what you want, movie. My brain is playing the Hitchhiker's Guide theme 🐬

#Monsterdon

And the end of the world. Really didn't need anywhere near 82 mins to get there. Thanks for the company #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

"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?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

i'm not sure how the opening scene fits into this. who was blowing up the coffee machine etc?

#monsterdon

Invasion Of The Bible Thumpers

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

Pray I do not alter the agreement further.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Wandering into a weird tall lab warehouse with weird doorways. Aliens with hyperspace dimensional travel. is this a secret origin story for the Backrooms?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

this movie is killing the nostalgic appeal of chiptunes

#Monsterdon

We get another weird conversation where the priest explains that their home planet is a utopia with no death so they have to go back; we learn nothing else from this scene.

Nunetheless, Andrew agrees to help the evil space nuns steal the magic crystal so they don't murder his wife.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

@cd0 #monsterdon

The aliens only became violent once they started playing Earth videogames.

#Monsterdon

Okay zombie nuns with high tech equipment communing with aliens.

THIS is the cheese I signed up for!

So they just gave up and went back?

Weak

#Monsterdon

I hope they don't run into the Baseball Furies

#Monsterdon

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

but I wish it was the end of this movie

#monsterdon

There's still half an hour in this film. It's a god damn time warp in and of itself. #Monsterdon

Did I miss all the foreshadowing that revealed that NASA has a crystal powered warp drive in this movie?

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

LOL
The caption said "no, we use international navigation"
No.
No.
#monsterdon

"My apologies."

"For what you just did?!"

"For the pacing."

#Monsterdon

Wait what why? They had a spare Christopher Lee and just melted him for what reason?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

if i told you "Space convent and there are two Christopher Lees" you'd say "wow, that sounds great!" #monsterdon

the latest in Catholic interocitor technology

#Monsterdon

Are they in trouble? I remain nundecided. #Monsterdon

lol, this couple has issues

What is even the plot right now? Are they on a second honeymoon or not?

#Monsterdon

Christ that's a big tie he's wearing. #Monsterdon

"Despite beeping everywhere we didn't find any space signals at your nunnery, father."
"I'm sorry, would you like to stay for lunch?"
"No thanks we've got other places to beep at."
(returns to office)

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

he keeps coming back to the computer room to look at the ASCII porn the lads at Cal-tech are sending him...

#Monsterdon

This is why they don't let you bring Geiger counters into the graveyards anymore

It's out of respect to Christopher Lee and his 6 minutes and 48 seconds of screen time

#Monsterdon

loving the 70s tricorder, does it detect cigarettes and petrol fumes?

#Monsterdon

"Press X to ask the Clergymen why his convent is emitting powerful space signals"

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

"Look, you don't have to say yes to what I'm about to say, but..."

I'm gonna stop you right there, chief, Chris does NOT want to be your third.

#Monsterdon

The director thinks they're being artful with the camera angles but they are wrong.

#Monsterdon

Sister Mary Francis: "You may not leave here alive."

#Monsterdon

Lie back and think of President Carter. #Monsterdon

Oh hey, she's got one of the mummy's stones from that other shitty movie we watched :D #Monsterdon

imagine thousands of fucking starlink satellites up there Commander, owned by the World's Most Irritating Man....

#Monsterdon

lol, they all met on the same gay chat line...I know that laugh among men

#Monsterdon

Welcome to Area 51

#monsterdon

Zookeepers are pissed!

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

@paco Only way you can tell it's a movie is because the film was, in fact, exposed! #Monsterdon

PACING, OF THE END OF THE WORLD!

#Monsterdon

Having not found any secret space transmitters in the nunnery, the couple drive to the next spot that might have a secret space transmitter and andrew snips the lock (over Sylvia's warnings) and they bumble on in.

We can't really see much because this movie uses real night instead of fake night for its night scenes but the dialogue tells us that this looks like a zoo.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

"Horny Couple Breaks Into Zoo"

save us from this Christopher Lee!

#Monsterdon

Great idea, whoever decided to put a 1 kHz low pass filter on this entire sound track.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

While setting up a stage for Andrew's talk, we learn there was some kind of eruption in Zaire / Congo where a pit of lava is threatening a city.

The MC learning about the furtively unfolding apocalypse via radio news broadcast is certainly a choice.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

Ah, working on the nunderground. #Monsterdon

The golden age of radio - you're never far away from a news report.

#Monsterdon

when does Christopher lee come back?

This hair guy is dull, his wife should have an affair

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Who is in charge of the lighting in this movie? Cause, someones lazy.
