they're making that science fictiony creature noise #monsterdon

Gravity is lower OUTSIDE the capsule, because...of the...anti-gravity paste? Which should also be repelling the craft from the moon surface? Except that it... oh, never mind. 😵‍💫

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, a moon creature standing there ominously with a staff of some sort... lets approach it.
#Monsterdon

mmmm blue cheese rivers
#monsterdon

That matte scene wasn’t too bad except the dark border. What is up with that? #Monsterdon

@Taweret of course there is air down there the moon is a big balloon with a little crust on it kinda like this piñatas we made in Art class when we were like 7 years old #Monsterdon

First non-human character! Actor inside is thinking "hurry up and get the shot, I'm dying in here"

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Elbows up!

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I'm starting to hope the old guy gets killed. I guess it was inevitable

#monsterdon

"I don't know, but it has a hockey stick"

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Eat them! #Monsterdon

So the moon if filled with tiny bad dressed ant people
#monsterdon

"Hi, moon creatures. We come... in peace?"

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@steggy It's only a model.
#monsterdon

"It's a moon creature, a Selenite."

...HOW do you know this?!?!?!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I'm starting to get a this isn't a cave we flew up a huge alien ass vibe.

@ranjit You joke, but I'd watch a movie featuring a bunch of alchemists turning lead into gold and somehow also making rockets.

#Monsterdon

Oh noes! Not first?

#Monsterdon

Finally a monster! #Monsterdon

@helianthropy nope. They have bare hands coming out of their "air-tight" space suits. #Monsterdon

Selunites! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

SELENITES EVERYWHERE NOOOO

they dug too greedily and too deep

you know what shades of blue they discovered

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Love it when we get a caption that just says "(SQUELCHING)".

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Dang that helmet rolled a long way.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

I'm mostly concerned about their hands getting frostbite.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@jonny@neuromatch.social She's got chickens to keep her company.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

This was clearly made before people understood how space works XD

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Cat women living under the moon? Preposterous.

why are they trying to be sneaky this dude has zero volume control the whole moon already knows you're both there

#monsterdon

@jadebees It was not

#Monsterdon

look you seem to be fine without gloves, just hold your breath and run, you'll make it back to the capsule no problem

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Oh cool! A big old pegmatite cave!

#Monsterdon

Forbidden Planet vibes

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Moon Crystals! The music tells us this is exotic.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Mother Horta incoming?

#monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon

@ricci It appears to be inflamed #monsterdon

For it's day, these are pretty sophisticated special effects. Shame they were wasted on such a silly plot. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

the crackpot isn't la la laing anymore, I guess things got serious

For the time, the effects don't suck.

I'm shocked. This is Monsterdon, isn't it?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

It sure is lucky that every movie about the moon finds out there's actually an atmosphere/subterranean air/ cave oxygen, isn't it

#Monsterdon

This is unrealistic. No graffiti.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

ooooooooh dear

that's not horta

that's that thing from Dragon's Domain

WE HAVE OUR MONSTER

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@Zerofactorial and it is gaseous

#Monsterdon

ROCKCLIMBING!!
Why must we always bee cursed with long scenes of rockclimbing?
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Remeber that Indiana farmboy who was fingered by fate? Whatever happened to him?

#monsterdon

oooo is that the cheddar cheese core of the moon?

#monsterdon

They forgot they only weigh 1/6th their normal weight

#monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon

If only it was, like, 1/6th gravity on the moon while they climb down, eh? eh?

#monsterdon

they have discovered the rectum of the moon #monsterdon

Why not just use the stairs to your left instead of rappelling down?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

#Monsterdon "subterranean atmosphere" how convenient it's not all venting out through the hole you punched in the ceiling

ooooh it's not mysterons, it's horta

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

atmosphere even though they've punched a hole in the ceiling.

Okay, then.

#Monsterdon

@jonny I guess now why know why it's just the first men

Well, we already knew (patriarchy), but now we Know

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

I guess the moon is basically room temp so that's nice

This is the first Monsterdon movie where I've actually been happy to see we have 43 minutes left

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe Gloves weren't invented until the Edwardian period.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

At long long last, we're IN the moon. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

Oooh. A subterranean atmosphere. That's a thing.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Our hero meets the Moon Men and tries to sell the cottage to THEM, too. #Monsterdon

@Taweret One hour in THIS A HAPPENING!
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

@Taweret I'm sure it's fine, hands don't need to breathe.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@amyfou they have to touch helmets. Giggity. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

ruh roh

We can has monsters now?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

That's not how you unstick a man, I've read the literature #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Bare hands on the moon.
Sure, why not?

~43 minutes left of the movie, and I'm rooting for death of everyone but the chickens. #Monsterdon

here we go. now we're in the moon. and i can go ahead and forget 100% of the entire first hour of the movie because it is now completely irrelevant #monsterdon

HELLO MOON

#Monsterdon

the moon is made of bubble wrap!

#monsterdon

"Take a letter like a good girl, Kate."

#monsterdon

He's gone, just let him go. Just let him go, it's better this way. #Monsterdon

They just fell through some poor lunarian's sun roof... I hope they are insured.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Reminds me of that Bond movie with the hollow volcano....

#Monsterdon

Moon's haunted.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

do they not have gloves?

#Monsterdon

They're going to cram her in there with the chickens?

#Monsterdon

We're in the mooooooooooonnnnnn!

#Monsterdon

Uhoh they fell into the Lunar Sphincter #Monsterdon

We have a hatch!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Katy Perry was more dignified after her space flight than this guy #Monsterdon

I rewound because I didn't catch how Cavor corrected course, and now the video is looping with the ship heading towards the Sun.

#Monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@amyfou Similar to the way I can hear their footsteps. #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Kate: #monsterdon

"Cavor! Cavor! They have bestagons here!"

#monsterdon

what
#monsterdon

I think I heard a Moonquake!
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

I like how the new moon capsule from 196x landed feet away from where the 1899 capsule did.

The Moon of Incredible Coincidence

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

now

turn down the oxygen ratio BEFORE freeing him from the rock

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I guess "First Stooges in the Moon" would have given away too much of the plot in the title. #monsterdon

Sure hop the moon people follow Hawai'i example with Cap Cook
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

how do they hear each other talk from diving suit to diving suit tho

Flight time for 250k miles was how long?

#monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon

So shouldn't we be touching helmets to hear all this?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I can't decide if this movie thinks sound travels through space or not

#Monsterdon

i mean it may look like people are joking about the colonialism part but they literally claimed the moon for queen victoria #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🎵 i claim the moon and the moon claims me 🎵
