The good old days when CRTs sounded like teletype machines

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

He's using the red phone!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Compooters! Cigarettes! #Monsterdon

Those crt displays do not look simulated.

We're guessing a PDP-11 is doing the computing.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

He looks too much like Tucker Carlson and it is freaking me out.

#monsterdon

Smoking and more coffee? This might be the most 50s scifi movie outside of the 50s.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Profound thinking. #Monsterdon

Why does that picture of a lady's face seem so fake and out of place?
#Monsterdon

Doing a little light deciphering. #Monsterdon

That's an awfully large headshot of your wife (girlfriend?) on your desk. Kind of creepy...

#Monsterdon

He's using a room-sized supercomputer to print some Lore Ipsum.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon This episode of Happy Days featuring Christopher Lee as Arturo Fonzerelli Signor, and RFKJ as Al "Try the fish" Molinara oops nevermind he went through the window

From one Apple TV show to another, we’re now on the set of Severance The Throwback

#Monsterdon

That's enough (machines rattling) (machines humming) for one film

#monsterdon

Chunky computer noise to study and relax to

#Monsterdon

"Yes, get me the president. Sorry sir, we have to invent the internet before you can download porn, sir."

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon nothing says love like having an 8x10 extreme closeup of your wife's face on your work desk

(jesus, i'm so sorry for writing "50 years." please pick up your tombstones and cryptkeeper outfits on your way out.)

#monsterdon #EndoftheWorld1977

Sweet sport coat on the coat rack.

#endoftheworld1977

Did everyone have that photo of Cheryl Ladd on their desks in the 1970s? #monsterdon

I know some of you are typing along on one of these things
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Smoking next to an old hard drive is a recipe for a disk crash.

No smoking in the computer room! What, where you raised in a barn!?

#monsterdon

I don't like the way that woman was staring at us. #Monsterdon

Alright chat, what does that code actually do?
Who is that lady in the over sized headshot?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Well, now we know who to blame for the forthcoming poor writing: Frank Pirelli.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Yeah, I run a three-monitor setup too.

Just sayin'.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

ok fine you can dispose of one maniac pizza guy or whatever he was, but only if you have more equally good kinds of guys coming up #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

that 8x10 photo of the lady's face makes her face bigger than life sized i think it's not ideal

So he's playing Zork, right?

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

Kiddo: Christopher Lee, I know that name
Mom/me: Yes, now to figure out why you know that name.
(5 minutes later)
Kiddo: Mom! I know, he’s from LotR
Me: Among other things, you should know him from a few other films.
(Kiddo is now down a rabbit hole with IMDb)
#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

MFW watching less-than-stellar 70s films in #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Here at Digital Equipment Corporation, every mini computer cluster comes with free ashtrays!

(Oh, 1970s.)

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

smokin' in the computer lab

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That is one enormous closeup of a woman. Is that his wife or just something that camer with the frame?
#monsterdon

Lmao keysmash

#Monsterdon

ah the sounds of my people: 70's computers <3

#monsterdon

mmmm monochrome rot13 #Monsterdon

Charles Band, huh. so maybe this won't be completely boring.

After last week the bar is pretty low.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I keep waiting for the earth to explode
#Monsterdon

That does not look like either Pascal or machine language.

#monsterdon

That dude is all of us.

#Monsterdon

Exhibit A: The World

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@moira many yablans died to bring us this information #monsterdon

@Louisa you can never have too many Christopher Lees.

#EndOfTheWorld1977 #Monsterdon

do not, under any circumstances, get this band back together

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Electronic music programmer

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I was 3 minutes late. What happened before the credits started to roll?

#Monsterdon

"Gentle Mystical Music," badly distorted on this copy.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Electric Music Programmer. So you're saying they can hold a job in C. #Monsterdon

I believe you have my stapler.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

I always mix up Charles Band and Charles Dance.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Electronic music programmer?
There's a title you don't see every day.
#monsterdon

CHARLES FUCKING BAND!? Omg. Our second Charles Band film. So soon after Seedpeople.
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

Kirk and Scott? In this economy?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Oh wait, my bingo card! This music has got to be on there!

#Monsterdon #EndofTheWorld1977

i forgot this was produced by charles band

and that SUE LYON is in it

#monsterdon

These aren't real names.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Gee father, you sure do look like trouble
#monsterdon

I'm not a catholic, but don't convents only really have nuns? Why is there a guy answering the door for the priest?

#Monsterdon

It's like the Buck Rogers theme played on an underwater theremin. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Christopher Lee?! #Monsterdon

They're ... suspending the credits from thread?! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon now there's two of them!!!

Dean Jagger, the academic of the Jagger family.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Dean Jagger? Aw, come on, jag off.

#monsterdon

Well. The action is off to a good start.

#Monsterdon

Oh shit a Charles Band production

#monsterdon

Ok, this is gonna be a "what the hell is happening?" film experience I take it?

#monsterdon

"Welcome back to St Catherine's, father."

Irrespective of whether that priest is inviting his actual dad around to a convent late at night, or it's another member of the clergy, it's still kinky AF.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

@Louisa Truly the first and probably greatest tragedy
#monsterdon

the yablans were cut from Return of the Jedi

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Irwin Yablans?

#Monsterdon

irwin yablans? l hardly know her...???

#monsterdon #EndoftheWorld1977

Christopher Lee selfcest scene next right? Right?
#Monsterdon #EndoftheWorld

If you are a priest is your doppelgänger a demon.

#monsterdon

My copy has a most annoying film scratch just left of center.

Saint Catherine?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon MYSTERIOUS

This going to be one of those films where we run up to the edge of coffee, but mugs remain dry, isn't it?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

TWO Christopher Lees?! How much budget did they have?? #Monsterdon

Twins?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

This is like King Midas, but if instead of a king it was a priest, and instead of gold it was burned-out electrical equipment

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

I hate that this has what is honestly a pretty effective opening given the ratings on RottenTomatoes and IMDB

just means it's all downhill from here

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Oh, so NOW calling the police isn't super urgent? When there's a dead guy hanging in the window?
#Monsterdon

Woah! This is an opening scene worthy of an AC/DC soundtrack!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheOverdrive

#monsterdon #endoftheworld (as we know it)

Must have been Black Rifle Coffee.. AMIRITE?

What in the defenestration??? #Monsterdon

That seemed a tad dramatic for some steam

#Monsterdon

What's a pride month without four bears #Monsterdon

Coffee is NOT served.

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

explain that one, Mr. OSHA inspector #Monsterdon

Count Dooku's early years in the seminary

⁉️ CATACLYSMIC TRIVIA 🌏🔥

Sir Christopher Lee on End of the World:

Part 1 of 2
"Some of the films I've been in I regret making. I got conned into making these pictures in almost every case by people who lied to me.

#Monsterdon

I did enjoy that bit of the phone blowing up, that should have been all over alt dot 2600 #Monsterdon

Oh wow, they're actually using night-for-night?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Band getting his money's worth in the first 3 minutes!

#Monsterdon

Well that escalated quickly. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

#Monsterdon 🙏⛪️👰‍♀️🌍️🚀 👽️🌋 😱

I too am sad about the coffee. It was so close.
