That's a long news break for a movie.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

And now, a little about sports in your #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

what does she even see in this guy?

#monsterdon

was that DJ saying something about a hotheaded Romanian...?

#monsterdon

They have both lamps on because the British are droppping by later, traveling by sea. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Star Trek TOS sound effects engage!

I don't understand either. #monsterdon

In the 70's they were called: Das Blinken Buttons

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

That's it? The warden let him walk on that chamber and no one else is helping?
#Monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

@srol I posted a possible answer for you in my trivia thread

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon conspiracy????

I hope they keep putting in long static bed shots.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Ah, 36 billion for military procurement. Such peaceful times. Such affordable times. #Monsterdon

I wish my computer had more flashing lights
#monsterdon

This is like when they dub ferrets making squeaky sounds in movies, except with computers.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon What modern computers are missing are giant panels of unlabeled blinking lights.

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Continue Job Stream?

(computer beeping)
(computer whirring)
(dramatic music)

Subtitles are on point.

#monsterdon

Ah, those were the days. When you could have computer displays that didn't do anything except boop and blink. I hope to eventually be rich enough to afford one!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Do these aliens speak German? #Monsterdon

No way, something else predicted The Simpsons!
#Monsterdon

What's the tricorder reading already?? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

@peterries @paco @forestine WTF mates?

#Monsterdon

Well at least he told his inner feelings to the security guard and not as an obnoxious voice-over.
#monsterdon

Now they're just straight up pandering to me w/ this computer room. Thank you, movie! #Monsterdon

Time to put on the silver fire suit to look at the Colour Out Of Space roack

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Half-life resonance chamber mishap in three... two... one...

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Is this where the Homer nuclear plant scenes originated?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Are we sure this was intended as a movie and not an experimental electronica album?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

We're looking at the Star Trek bridge prototype phase, before the enterprise #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

ZAIRE AFFRO?

c'mon man

#monsterdon

y'know it takes some pretty good technology to get a wheedlie-dee machine that far down in pitch without distortion

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Star Trek console noises!

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

I bet if you run your hands up and down that safety suit it'll make vwwrrreeeet-vwwwrrreeeet-vwwwrrreeet sounds.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Full Moon, a film company so cheap they could only rent the ooze for 3 seconds, and definitely could not afford the secret thereof.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Me at work next year: "Somehow I've got the feeling that we've gone as far as we can with this experiment."

#monsterdon

What's with the holy glow stick? #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

I went to the wikipedia page to see if it had info on where that tracking shot through the NASA construction bay was filmed. It didn't, and I accidentally saw a pretty ridiculous spoiler for how the film ends. All I'm gonna say is brace yourselves.

#monsterdon

They just wholesale lifted Trek sound effects.

#Monsterdon

I wonder where the filmed that shot of the huge facility. Do you think NASA actually let them film on one of their sites? #Monsterdon

"Standard" minutes? Not metric?
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

amdrew is about to crack this case wide open how can he leave his post at the air and space museum where he does banquets

#Monsterdon

This helmet looks like molded trash bags

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Why is he going into the reactor core?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Oh, it's dark in there so you can see the radioactive glow.


#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@peterries But I am le tired...

#monsterdon

@forestine

i assume this guy works at the Science Plant

#Monsterdon

Seriously, total Star Trek sounds. I hope they work in the transporter.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Man, suddenly it's shot like a porno but then smashcuts to... vending machines? #monsterdon

I don't like an experimental protocol which involves me being locked inside of a place that I can't leave. #Monsterdon

@socketwench I guess it's not tomorrow so I can also look forward to it

even though it's in the past

(I am becoming increasingly tempted to watch one of those afterwards, I love corny disaster movies)

(and high on vaccines is a good way to go)

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"Sometimes I feel we've gone about as far as we can with this experiment."
"Everyone feels that way sometimes, baby.
Take a sniff of these poppers and see if that loosens you up."

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

"I know because you won't shut UP about it"

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

mmmm asbestos

#monsterdon

Claymation hair

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Among us?
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

@forestine !!!

#monsterdon

"LARGE EARTH DISRUPTION"

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Could they not have spared us a pan across the Space Shuttle? #Monsterdon

That security guard is 45 hard years old.

#Monsterdon

no way this security guard survives the movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Tracking camera becomes unstable near the Shuttle.. hhh,mmm

talk about those wonderful flying saucers, don't be a baby

#monsterdon

If I had hair like our hero, I'd never need to wear a bike helmet.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

How dare students want to study something useless like ECOLOGY of all things????
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

but what airplane is that

Thankfully I decided to turn on closed captions, although Ray's lines just say
[[ indecipherable old white mumbling ]]

#Monsterdon

Oh, wow! A shuttle mock-up in 1977!

#Monsterdon

Damn kids and their earthly subjects...
#Monsterdon

Queue the Sprint hold music… oh good grief… “I won’t make it”… yeah you might wanna see your doctor about that. #monsterdon

Cool camera shot.

#Monsterdon

I mean, at least we know dialogue wasn't dubbed in later…?

#Monsterdon

I toonhang out in my wood-paneled den in my ruffled-shirt tux #monsterdon

the actor just wandered into a factory and found this old guy and they ran with it #Monsterdon

Security is by Sheriff Lobo? #monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

"Ecology or one of the other earthly subjects"

#Monsterdon

Then Ray starts dancing to advertise an amusement-park.

#monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

warshington

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon The audio mix in this movie is terrible.

It must have been a very formative movie for a young Christopher Nolan.

Hey night for night shot. #Monsterdon

Begging the question, why is North American Rockwell doing SETI? #Monsterdon

I feel like getting any signal from outer space would be a big deal
#monsterdon

Movie. Have you ever head the term "ADR"? No. Well that's a shame.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Is the sound muddy, or is it just my copy?

#Monsterdon
#EndOfTheWorld1977

People not interested in space exploration? The mind boggles!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

with this ambient noise, no wonder this old dude needs a hearing aid. I can barely parse his talkings over the tinny ambience

This guy is Temu Robert Culp. #Monsterdon

Resting grump face.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Here is ze earth. It is a pretty sweet earth you say. WRONG

That was waiting in my head somewhere for more than 20 years

#monsterdon

Now if you make yourself popular in the street... ;)

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I've been looking for a concept and title for a new C64 game. "Large Earth Disruption" has a nice ring to it!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

The pentagon said no more computer time for this jackass, put him on the road. #Monsterdon

"Have you heard anything from the Pentagon?"
"Well, yes, but it was muffled because it wasn't filmed on a sound-stage or ADR'd."

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon like not a lot, just a tiny bit

Large Earth Disruption, my name for my 70s retro-doom progressive jazz band. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the signal monitor guy looks just enough like Topher Grace that I keep crossing this with That 70s Show in my head

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Negative Velocity Sector is my band name now.

Meanwhile at the Orbiter factory... #Monsterdon

Would you like to super-size your Earth Disruption today

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I admit I was wrong about not seeing the computer room, though. I did see that. #Monsterdon
