#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@diazona We can only hope! #monsterdon

Ah, that explains first MEN in the moon #Monsterdon

Uhoh their space ball rolled away how will they get home now? #Monsterdon

@Taweret The underground set is the best yet #monsterdon

the 3rd act bedknobs and broomsticks animation in this is going to be lit

#Monsterdon

And Arnold shows us his more violent side ...

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

@Taweret they're so cute!

#monsterdon

@strangefour As is their way.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Are those moon alligators?

Please let there be moon alligators

#Monsterdon

so they're gonna fuck off back to earth and end the movie now right? 🥺
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Human sides with aliens: this gives me a diagonal bingo.

More like the first Jerk in the moon. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

@Louisa The movie needs to get their helmets off as fast as possible so we can see the actors emote.

#Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

Oh no, they've run into Moon Homeland Security! #monsterdon

GAAAAAHHH!!!! #monsterdon

Is that the march from the Wizard of Oz? When the minions are marching into the witch’s castle? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon so normally the british explorers would have like 20 guys with guns and a ship with plenty of cannon on it they can aim at the port town, so you can understand why they're having so much trouble without an elephant gun

❗ 30 Minute Poll ❗

Selenites were played by

@apLundell ah yeah, I guess selene was the greek personification of the Moon. I forgot that.

#monsterdon

MOON BUGS!

MOON BUGS!

MOON BUGS!

:ameowbongo: :ablobspin: :ablobcatrave: #Monsterdon

Yeah, never trust the English in a First Contact situation. :/ #Monsterdon

Welp. So much for peaceful negotiation. I know who the monster is now.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Bedford just ruined all chances of dipolomatic relations.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

typical colonists #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Moon Crotch Crickets. Big ones. Hard to hide from the wifey. They’re armed!

C'mon man, it's time for Man of Action to take charge

#Monsterdon

So the title is accurate, these two are the first men *in* the moon, and the one who isn't in the moon is the woman #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

He should have laced up his boots!

Damn it man, stop the slaughter! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon Selenites don't actually look big guys

They didn't even do Pomp and Circumstance planting that flag!

#Monsterdon

My god, it's a broad-nosed weevil

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/262109618

#Monsterdon

We have weird pretty crystals on the moon too

Seems nice

#Monsterdon

Is that a slow extending bridge or are you just happy to see me? #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

THEY'RE KOBOLDS ... insect kobolds

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

#Monsterdon ok, Selenite is a good name for a moon creature (until we learn what they call themselves). #Monsterdon

Why do the Selenites sound like a Space Invader's cabinet?
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

it's fine, there's a knight and the holy grail on the other side

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Journey to the First Men In The Center Of The Moon

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Bingo!!! #monsterdon

You can tell they're evil because they sound like the dastardly radio scanner instead of the good and pure Bluetooth receiver. #Monsterdon

Let's escape the moon creatures by walking across this convenient bridge that magically appeared.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

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

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
