@xerozohar :O :O :O :D #Monsterdon

Tying our weird plots together, we learned one of the signals was coming from what I guess is Saint Catherine's, which I guess is a hacienda looking convent on top of a mountain.

Sylvia disembarks and greets a gardening nun, who gives her a flower.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

@CactuarJoe listen here you little

#monsterdon

"Nuns made me horny, let's do it in the car!"

"SECOND HONEYMOON!"

#Monsterdon

I'm so glad we are being told about everything that is happening, instead of being shown. Pretty sure that's how the saying goes. #monsterdon

What this movie really needs about now is some real estate negotiations. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

Is Christopher Lee done? That would be hilarious! Just like Grizzly 2: Revenge!

#monsterdon #endoftheworld1977

The end of the world, wholly via ADR

#Monsterdon

Andrew goes home and the news is talking about President Carter trying to get Congress to buy an aircraft carrier. It seems strange to me that they used a real president for the news.

Sylvia (the wife) says that we're going on a tour and she's annoyed he's obsessed with the space messages instead of about making out.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

all these locations which they failed to illuminate properly for film...

#Monsterdon

oh no, he's discovered the Wub-232!

#monsterdon

The Andromeda Stain. #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow it's a crash helmet #Monsterdon

Yeah, explain it all to the security guard, I'm sure he cares.

#Monsterdon

Space Shuttle cameo.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

That was actually a pretty cool shot, but it owes a lot to the fact that for some reason NASA let them film in one of their buildings.

#monsterdon

...is that a literal shuttle test article?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Look at that smooth crane shot. #monsterdon

They need to take the mic off whatever that power tool is and put it on the actors. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld

#monsterdon that’s a mighty nice space shuttle you got there. Would be a shame if the world ended.

On the way to the banquet, the news radio tells us that there's an earthquake in China. Andrew thinks this is related to his space message. Wife seems skeptical. Andrew wants to find where the messages came from.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

is that the framework for the Space Shuttle behind that gigantic bouffant?

#MOnsterdon

Sex, computers, and banquets. The life of a true scientist.

#monsterdon

President Carter? The solar panels guy?
#monsterdon

After presumably shagging on the carpet, Andrew goes back to work so he can study the space signals. He takes his wife too so she can enjoy the Nasa vending machine snacks. Then the space computer sends the repeat message "Large Earth Disruption" and Andrew is like "woah this is in English and it came from space!", which is a refreshingly logical response for getting space messages in English. Then the wife character convinces him to go to the banquet.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

the announcer seems to be gloated at the Chinese dead...

#Monsterdon

Wow, they have a whole clubhouse for Gorf? I had no ide

oh

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

@Lazarou "Large Earth Disruption" is a grave digger's euphemism for burying a fatty.

#Monsterdon #TheEndOfTheWorld1977

LARGE EARTH DISTRUPTION is my cover band

#monsterdon

LOL, I'm having flashbacks to my Dad's workplace in the 1970's. He worked at the IMF. He used to take me to see the mainframe room.

#MOnsterdon

#Monsterdon

70s tux is 70s.

SO many ruffles!

@CactuarJoe oh gawd you're right

#monsterdon

Earth too big

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Meanwhile, at Fort Boring.

No radios, cameras, recording devices or firearms? What do you people do for fun?

#monsterdon

So far the vintage computers are the best thing about this movie.

#monsterdon

That's definitely Star Trek TOS background noise

#Monsterdon

His computer makes Star Trek noises.
#monsterdon
#endoftheworld1977

Because this movie likes to beguile us with random scene changes, when then see some cars driving on the highway, followed by a suburb with backyard pools, and we see Andrew apparently at home in his very carpeted house, meeting a blonde lady who I guess is his wife so they can go to some banquet... maybe a party for computer touchers who decipher outer space messages.

She brings him alcohol and he responds by trying to tempt her into sex instead.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

#Monsterdon

I wonder what Christopher Lee is doing.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

"Here you go, dearest, bourbon and vodka, just the way you like it"

A bit early in the evening for that leer, isn't it? #Monsterdon

Dodge the sprinklers terror!

Thank god the aliens use ASCII or this would be hopeless.

🦖 MONSTERDON 🎞️

⏳ 30 MINUTE POLL 🏃🏆

Of these actors in tonight's feature, which won an Academy Award?
(For another movie)

#Monsterdon

Love that IMDb headshot on the desk

#Monsterdon

The priest then walks outside and sees another priest in the dark who says "Welcome to St Catherines"... or maybe it was a different Saint, I'm not sure.

#monsterdon #endOfTheWorld1977

@_L1vY_ I had to type'1977' for it to come up. Looks like we're watching the 'remastered' one. 87 mins. #monsterdon

Nice font

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Caution. Contents may be hot and explosive.
#monsterdon

Sorry pal, the last guy took our telephones. And our boom mics

#Monsterdon

Please let this movie not be told in one enormous flashback.
#monsterdon

@paco noooo 😭

can you get to the stream at least?

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

heh heh heh, the machine said "ball in play"

#Monsterdon

There's 2 on tubi. Are we doing the 87 min one or the 110 min one? #monsterdon

all you had to do was promise not to do a Bride of Frankenstein thing, pendejo.

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

Devil Hands From Mars #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

If this operation is a success maybe they can advance to removing Christopher Lee's failed mustache transplant #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

"I came here for one single reason! To chew gum and to.... No, wait, that's two."

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

I bet I could do the operation!

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

to those who watched the director's cut of "End of the World"

We salute you 🫡 #monsterdon

mebbe you should... write down how to do the operation?

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

Ludwig: "I haven't been too well and it's affected my memory" if only there were some way I could cheat death #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

yeah dude I'd totally rather hang with Ludvig than with naked Nancy Reagan upstairs....

#monsterdon #WrongEnd

"It could not be" I'm married to Death and I'd hate to cheat #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

Oh Shit is that guy Blight? #Monsterdon2 #monsterdon

Hey, the director's cut is over now! I'm not sure what they cut out, but the version I watched certainly makes you yearn for the planetary explosion.

Thank you for hosting @Taweret, and sorry I opened the wrong version. Have a great week everyone!

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

This is going to be one of those times when the second feature is much better than the first, isn't it? #Monsterdon2 #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

Uh-oh, George looked into the Ark of The Covenant #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

@kshernandez that's usually how that deal goes 😬

#Monsterdon

Man Who Cheated Death appears to be a radio drama? It's all black screen, some Monty Python "AAAaaugh" and "(metal clinking)".

Is the camera on? Do they plan on having pictures in their moving picture?

OH Rue Morgue that seems familiar.

… lot of nothing happening. Smoke a bit more.

#monsterdon #ManWhoCouldCheatDeath

@holly Or, as is the case with Hitchhikers Guide, the beginning of the book/movie.

#Monsterdon

You know, going to his planet doesn't sound so bad. Then again, the fact that he's destroying ours sort of belies the whole non-destructive angle.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Movie night on the Hail Mary:

Rocky: "Bad. Bad. Bad. No wonder creepy man blow up Earth."

Grace: "..."

#Monsterdon

i liked the old computers, anyway.

thanks @Taweret for hosting! and thanks to everyone participating for making that somewhat bearable, lots of great snark!

#monsterdon

I don't like the mustache. But it's not bad. His haircut feels more off. It's too stern and slick. But that fit is killer. Really shows off his figure.
#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

P. S. thanks @Taweret for hosting, @JoeWynne for trivia, @ryan for the @miru stream, and all of YOU for the absolutely terrible nun puns.

#Monsterdon

"I left the sketches in my other continent" #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

@floatybirb @pineheap That would've been a wild ride. LOL

#monsterdon

@brooke I did the miru steam this turn. I usually do Tubi but the commercials out me so far behind everyone else that my toots were out of sync #Monsterdon

From the trailer this one is nothing but Wilhelm screams

#Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath

Anyway now that there's nunthing left of earth we may as well join this movie in being launched into space

Good job as always team, and thanks again to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Death: "Only that one time, and only because it was my first time playing Monopoly" #Monsterdon #TheManWhoCouldCheatDeath1959

@ottaross ah, I missed that! At least that solves the mystery of why I was so badly out of sync. And I needed that mystery because the movie just was not holding my attention.

#Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

Man, they must have spent the entire budget on this one car explosion. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon well i guess that's the large earth disruption

@huronbikes They got a deal on "night film" #justguessing #monsterdon

I think I figured it out: this is a cautionary tale about dealing with people addicted to crystal. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ok so they got the emergency speed thing anyway

i have no idea why anything that's happened has happened in this movie

Man, they must have saved so much money shooting most of this movie at night #monsterdon

"Hey boss: who'd ya get to do sound for dis movie?"

"Some dude I met at a bar last night. Says his name is 'Sam' or some shit."

"We can't put that in the credits."

"Fine, call him Sam Shaw Enterprises. Whatever."
