not enough #TheDollop fans on #monsterdon

No nuns, no nuns, none.

#monsterdon

I guess that if I could understand what they are saying, I would get this movie, but this is hard
#Monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

ah yes, good old 70s trespassing. never hurt anyone.

#monsterdon #EndoftheWorld1977

"Why does a convent need a powerful transmitter?"

"Because they haven't invented T1 lines to the BVM yet."

36 billion asked by President Carter?? Oh my such an amazing amount of money asked by a president and get this—for SCIENCE! Well, at least sorta—military procurement. 1977 movie

alright i sorta lost focus and started doing something else but has anything happened there haven't been any like explosions or any sound really above people talking in a low murmur #monsterdon

I must admit, I like when a cheesy horror movie has nuns, hopefully at least one runs amok at some point

#monsterdon

He thought that Woolworth's line was so fucking funny.

#monsterdon

Holy cow! Are they shooting at night? Is that legal?? Can that be done!?? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Oooo spooky underlit night tiiiime #Monsterdon

Yes, those long-stemmed red roses definitely came from the rose bushes she’s tending right there

#Monsterdon

Can I count gardening nuns as "Religious Ceremony" on bingo?

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

Gotta be careful about weather conditions when you're watering your plants. Water droplets can act as lenses and hurt leaves, so full sun isn't the best time for it!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Maybe the aliens are the friends we make along the way?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Nuns love to garden. They grow carrots, courgettes, cucumbers...

(I almost said "marrows" but I thought that would be a bit of a stretch.)

#Monsterdon

That rose bush remark was some filthy flirting for 1977 #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The timeless humor of referencing a bankrupt mercantile. #Monsterdon

Isn't that the sin of Pride, sister?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon

They took the credit for your second symphony

Rewritten by machine on new technology

And now I understand the problems you could see

Convent of Saint Catherine is the winner of "Worst Topiary - Los Angeles Archdiocese" three years running.

#monsterdon

Ah yes, the Convent of J-Town.

Yanno, J-Town was getting into surfing right around this time. Radical hanging ten for all the kids!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh yes, you can hear that sound effect much more clearly, though it does sound remixed.

WHERE DID THESE WORDS COME FROM. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

"Saint Catherine loves me best nya nya nya" <-- a nun

Sin of pride, Sister. #Monsterdon

Of course! You know how nuns are, always sending their signals
#Monsterdon

This rose garden and mission architecture are so, so, So-Cal.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Alien signals from the Lard Jebus!
#Monsterdon

Ah! We're about to cross paths with Christopher Lee, hopefully

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

How much money did movies in the late 70s and early 80s save on scores done entirely with synthesizers? Dozens of dollars? Hundreds? Enough to have an extra special Craft service? #monsterdon

@Cosmosis The pre-show is over and we're about 27 minutes into the movie now. You can always jump in on https://miru.miyaku.media, or use Tubi, or find your own source.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Yeah what’s up with that somewhat imprecise message from space, loser?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Oh that sly Second Christopher Lee, he's running a pirate radio station!

#monsterdon

The Nuns are the aliens aren't they.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Love the cursor motion. Reminds me of dialing in to BBSes back in the day.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Wait, nuns don't work on Sunday...
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977
#magnumpi

We're just going to drive around and see if we can find an alien transmitter.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon

Equity Stage Light!

Keeps the aliens and theatre ghosts away.

nun music left beef

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

NUNS, NUNS! REVERSE, REVERSE! #monsterdon

Okay, finally some evil nuns!
#monsterdon

Good morning, sister. You look lovely today.

"Thanks, it's a habit."

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

SPACE NUNS

@jivens I definitely don't feel fine, though. #monsterdon

There are TWO SIGNALS

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Party at the golf clubhouse? In this economy? #monsterdon

I bet Spock could make these computers behave. #Monsterdon

Why do the Chinchillas get their own water district? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Aahhhh the distorted music in this copy is painful

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Chekhov's Strange Lamp?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Meanwhile, at the San Fernando Mission... #monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

This movie would make a better radio play.
If the on set mic quality was a heck of alot better.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

@Taweret

Cashing his cheque before the production company folds?

#Monsterdon

At least this movie acknowledges that other parts of the world exists besides the US and the UK

#Monsterdon

He is haunted like he has ennui and has read too much Sartre

#monsterdon

It's great when all the drama is happening off camera over the radio.
#monsterdon

Someone was trying (and failing) to make a statement with that lingering shot on the ghost light. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

🎵 woooo wooooooo 🎵

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Doesn't need Andrew's laxatives to cause a Large Earth Disruption in Kinshasa.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

Everyone, services for the Church of the Incandescent Lightbulb are on Wednesdays. You need to leave.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The exact date is Wednesday

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I wonder what Christopher Lee is up to

#monsterdon

This janitor is also the grip for the film, so he's allowed to move the lighting like that. #Monsterdon

Is it me or are those bedside lamps extremely tall?
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon clickbaited by Priest Christopher Lee battling demonic activity, into watching a guy with a perfect life who mopes around and seems exactly as depressed that he discovered an alien message as he was when he didn't hear any

"A city-wide evacuation is being planned should the threat continue to grow."

Yeah, I'd shit myself too given the circumstances.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

Minnits... the FRESHMAKER #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

This pacing is great. I can make a post. Catch up on what other people are posting. Get back to the movie and nothing important has happened. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Okay, movie, I'll bite: what *was* the point of that scene?

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

"... as common as Ma Bell." That aged like warm milk.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I kinda like this movie's restrained style and that it's showing, not telling. But nothing has happened since Christopher Lee killed a restaurant before the credits.

#monsterdon

for once i desperately _want_ looped dialogue, and yet

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Bit player Bob exit stage right.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I'd sure like to have you and your wife.

Oh I'm sure you would, wink.

#monsterdon

Occasionally you see why they use sound stage to make movies.
#monsterdon

...it turned out that they would just be monopolies again

#Monsterdon

Bob, there's a time and a place for that.

#monsterdon

Now they're remaking the end credits of the Carol Burnett Show. #monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Ok, I need more mysterious priests and surprise defenestrations

#Monsterdon

I think Bob is banging his wife. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Okay noone told me this was a Carter era Dr. Manhattan origin story movie

Great. Now the cameraman is drunk. Keep it steady there Chet. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

I love old tech, but this generic computer sounds and blinks are getting irritating.
#Monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

"As common as Ma Bell"

Aged like milk huh

#Monsterdon

Relax, spend a pleasant evening, put to rest any concerns of o-rings in cold weather.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

once I watched a movie and Christopher Lee was in it #Monsterdon

@apLundell And low woo-woo-woo sounds.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Is computer...
... scientist?..
Andrew going to have to surreptitiously meet up with former architect David Vincent?

The End Of The World, a Quinn Martin production.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

One of the few clothing choices I appreciate in old movies: people wore real pajamas. I feel like such a slob in my ratty t shirt and linen pants that have zero elastic left by comparison.

#Monsterdon

Took him this long the aliens were using EBCDIC #monsterdon

I wish this print was darkler and muddier. And if they could make the sound muddy too, that would be great.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

23 minutes in and .... no monster. :(

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Go to sleep. Damn, dude.

Ten standard minutes. Ten ... standard ... minutes. Okay that makes no sense on so many levels. Is this like A Brilliant Mind & he's imagining all this?#Monsterdon

wearing a full face of makeup and freshly styled hair to bed

she's too good for him

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"Ten standard minutes"...her response is "Oh, I know. That's normal. Don't feel bad." #monsterdon

"Ten standard minutes."

"I can't remember when you lasted that long, honey."

"Go to sleep."

Commissioner Unruh. When there's a permanent drought, digging new wells is not gonna be a good solution. You gotta work on water conservation rather than draining your groundwater dry.
