#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Zookeepers are pissed!

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

booooo fakeout

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe No sound track, no dialog, no plot, and not even anything on the screen for much of the time!

#monsterdon

They're doing some quality real night scenes here. No messing around with filters.

#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

@CactuarJoe FINE IT'S NUNYA BUSINESS ANYWAY

#monsterdon

Convent: The Final Frontier

#monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon

Considering closed captions weren't invented until long after this movie came out, I feel sorry for the poor bastard who had to watch this and actually pay attention in order to write them.
#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.

"just like a second honeymoon"

but the husband was too busy thinking about the Fall of Rome

#Monsterdon

It's the End of the World as we know it
and these sound effects are copywrited

#monsterdon

More #StarTrek sound effects.

@_L1vY_ Miru stream? (https://miru.miyaku.media)

I was having a bit of poor performance with it but it may work for you

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@CactuarJoe 1976 NASA would probably let you

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

When you find out you can film somewhere mildly interesting, well just go on and make a whole movie. Get yourself a Christopher Lee! Get TWO Christopher Lees

#Monsterdon

behold, all the movie budget for NASA on-location footage.

#monsterdon

ooooo footage of a rocket factory!

that camera shot was way out of league for this movie!

#Monsterdon

Interestingly, the laboratory scenes in this movie are filmed in the Santa Susana Lab, California, where there was an early nuclear reactor, and the first ever meltdown of a nuclear reactor core occurred in 1959.

Man, remember when movies made smoking look sexy?

"The Commute Scene"

breath-taking ...art in cinema...

#Monsterdon

show his whole commute journey, why not?

For 1977 this is fairly 1981. #monsterdon

Ooo, look at the chunky computers :D #Monsterdon

Irwin Yablans sounds like a Scottish insult

#Monsterdon

Hey, Threed music! Get the Zombie Paper, you're gonna need it. #Monsterdon

It's not coming up on my Tubi! "We couldn't find any results for end of the world"

I'll have to use some tiny screen backup method 😖

Supervillains these days don't even bother with that pretence, so lazy....

#TheEndOfTheWorld1977

Okay. I'm not saying that was a great classic movie. But I think some of y'all have maligned it more than it deserved. It was slow, creepy horror, with an alien conspiracy mystery, and had that underlit noir quality, typical of the genre.

I think it was a decent movie-of-the-week, honestly.

Or maybe I was just so traumatized by last weeks..?

He's got an art room as well, lucky bastard....

#Monsterdon

thinking the Doctor will be feeding off these characters later....

#Monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe it was a bold ending and I respect them for that, if nothing else

#Monsterdon

How much those 'Adam and Eve' endings ignore the whole '7 breeding pairs' rule...

#Monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe @bunnyhero @pngwen @TerryHancock Director working on director's cut: "There is so much more stock footage I can use."

#monsterdon

gotta say, this movie ad is giving the whole plot away......

#Monsterdon #Miru

I need to drink like a pint of "liquid that cheats death" to get over that last movie....

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

Thanks @Taweret & the gang. I'll now step through the portal & leave you to the fate you all so richly deserve!!!!

#Monsterdon

luckily now it's time for the #monsterdon after-party on...

#monsterdon

I must have made a lot of bad decisions in my life, to be brought to this movie.

I'm probably missing a major plot point, but I'm not sure how nuns with radios cause earthquakes, volcanoes, broken dams and exploding planets.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon That's all she wrote! Some say it was extraneous and pedantic. Little did anyone know, it was also shabby. LOL

It’s only a flesh wound. Earth will be fine.

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

#Monsterdon

Not sure why the Earth is being destroyed, but our protagonists are bailing out anyway.

#Monsterdon

does all this stock footage of disasters count as something happening?

#monsterdon

"On Earth, your talents are used for destruction."

Says the alien who is literally destroying an entire planet.

#monsterdon

lol @ alien head Christopher Lee

#Monsterdon

they're destroying Earth before we had a chance to, the bastards!

#Monsterdon

lol, he actually killed John!

knew they developed his character for a reason

they give you a surname in these movies and you're dead

#Monsterdon

Oh NO! The sitar alarm!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Ohhhhhh! It's the holy glow stick they're after!! Aliens want to get their rave on. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

@jonny something tells me this table read ajourned for lunch and they just never returned.

#Monsterdon #EndofTheWorld1977

I like how there's just one guard for the whole giant rocket factory

#Monsterdon

Easy money for the composer.
1. Get synth
2. Let cat walk on keyboard

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The synth jazz is far too interpretive for my tastes. LOL. Kill them all, let god sort out the ADR and score :)

So what do you aliens do for exercise? Nunchucks?

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@jivens They’re all married to Jesus, right?

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

We don't have any wars, that's why we're so prone to violence.
#monsterdon

Now Mr. Lee, I need to you walk more slowly, really pad out the film.
#Monsterdon

"What you're about to do is impossible to do without getting someone killed. What about John and the other guards?"

"Yeah, let's get them killed."

#monsterdon

"Hello we are evil aliens from space. We cannot go back to our home planet but we possess the power to make coffee pots, phones and cars explode at will. Please join us for coffee and orange juice."

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

"OK, I'll help you"

*Car explodes

FAFO

#Monsterdon

"we have to find someone they had no contact with"

what even are words and logic

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe They're on a Mission from Xenu

#monsterdon

"What if what he says is true?"
"We're fucked. Royally."
#monsterdon

So this dude has to help the Sex Tourists get home before the Earth explodes or they kill his wife?

And all in the dark, of course.

#Monsterdon

Lets DO THE TIME WAAARP AGAAAAAAAAAIN.
#monsterdon

Prepare Earth for Ludicrous Speed

#Monsterdon

"Velocity-time relationships"? So, distance, then?

#Monsterdon

The pacing is a bit slow. Is this movie available in a brochure?

#Monsterdon

@rebeld "conclave" means "curved inward", so "convent" is "outward" 😜

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe they seem rather nun-plussed

#monsterdon

I appreciate they're getting their money's worth from the location they rented out for this movie but do we have to see......oh wow, the Nuns have technology!

#Monsterdon

"Fuck you, lungs. And fuck you too, liver."

#Monsterdon

Here we compute new shades of brown, that not even the Tech Connection's guy has heard of yet!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Gay-dar readings are low… damn

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

@me I think a "power impulse meter" is a tricorder that goes "beep beep beep" at all times.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

I can't remember does convent mean curved outward or inward?

#monsterdon

They've got a nun tailing them! Quick, peel rubber! #Monsterdon

Holy shit, Christopher Lee is in this

#Monsterdon

oh thank fuck, it's Christopher Lee!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

"I know what you are thinking"

"Bazongas?"
