#Monsterdon

Love when the writers don't know how to end a movie so they just blow everything up and run credits.

Goodnight #monsterdon, and thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

well, that was a movie I guess

ty for joining, everyone!

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero best I can do while the movie is running... I will return to this though

#Monsterdon

Princess Marcuzan talking to Karen: “There are two named women in this movie”
Karen:
Princess Marcuzan: “I’m talking to you about something other than a man”
Karen:
Princess: “Very well. You refuse to talk.”
#monsterdon

that was like 4 movies glued together and none of them made a god damned bit of sense #monsterdon

A Futurama Entertainment Corporation production!

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

#Monsterdon

wait that's it???

Oh well. I had a genuinely great time watching this with y'all. Lots of fun and laughs, and super weir drandomness. It all worked for me, somehow.

Thank you all for coming to #monsterdon ! Special thanks to @Taweret and to @JoeWynne for the trivia, and @Cherizilla for the bingo!

See you next week, and be sure to be here tomorrow for the next vote!

@rebeld Couldn't resist, and it turned out not to be too hard

#monsterdon

Weird how some of these B movies really have two plots that barely touch.

The story of the air force Frankenstein who gets damaged could have been its own movie.

And so could aliens coming to earth to steal women.

But somehow they used both of those ideas, and still had to use mountains of stock footage to pad the film out to feature length.

Template, if you want it

#Monsterdon

* Are there two women in the movie
* Do they both scream
* Do the scream at each other about something other than a man

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "We have no women."

Really? None at all? I don't want to make any assumptions, but can you double-check real quick?

here

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Oh no! Daft Punk is stealing women!

#monsterdon

It’s nice that Billy Corgan is still getting work

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Welp.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "This is a clear case of failure!"

That's a good line. I'm going to use that.

Head empty, thoughts only of MAXIMUM ENERGY

#Monsterdon

okay, and there's your "THE END" card

this has been a #monsterdon thread for "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965)"

you ever get that feeling where as a kid, you finished writing your essay the next day in a big damn hurry? but you had spent all last night padding it out with filler words?

imagine a movie paced like that.

I ship Nadir and Devil Girl.
Not as a couple, but together they would be the cattiest bitches.
Like Team Rocket From Mars.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

#monsterdon "Use emergency escape equipment!"

And the first thing he does is TAKE OFF his helmet?!?

I'm gonna miss them.
Goodbye Dr Nadir.
Adieu Princess.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

@WhiteCatTamer For the moment I can offer you some choice screen captures

#Monsterdon

Your missile attacks interrupted their tea time chit chat session.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

#Monsterdon well that was silly fun. did what it said on the tin, more or less, and kept us all amused and/or horrified in the right ways

A+ selection, monsterdon voters :D

We haven't had a movie this charmingly bad since Devil Girl from Mars, have we?
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

#monsterdon So far the "Mars needs women" plot and the "lost airforce frankenstein" plot aren't really connected.

It's like we're flipping between two movies.

#monsterdon He's really smug about how horrible it is to die from nuclear war.

@Taweret Dr. Nadir has potential. #monsterdon

Vespa ACTION music!
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

If I were not so lazy I would go photoshop Dr. Nadir (my beloved) into every other #Monsterdon movie

Why do the aliens even have a monster?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "You fucked up a perfectly good cyborg; you've gone and given it anxiety!"

#monsterdon Sure, when I meet an injured man in a flight-suit, my first instinct is to try to set him on fire with a road flare.

Perfectly normal.

(Rod Serling voice) Put your hands together for Colonel Frank Stein. He's part robot brain, part body stitched together from corpses. His rocketship has just been shot down by an alien who is more camp than the full stock of an REI, working for Princess Spacetits. Honestly, this sounded better in the writing room, but sometimes one is on a deadline, even in ... the Twilight Zone.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Using real NASA footage is cheating.

Make a some models, you cowards!

we need disco dancing teens!!!! in the scene!!! it has been literal years since we have had a movie with inlined disco teens! #monsterdon

This meeting could have been an email.

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

the only reason the plots intersected was because karen ran out of actions in her sim action queue and auto-queued "go home" #monsterdon

thanks wikipedia, that really expanded my understanding. #monsterdon

what on earth? the frankenstein did nothing. and neither did the space monster. their fight was totally inconsequential because the earth women had already been evacuated and they were already leaving #monsterdon

#monsterdon As someone who has worked on NASA grants, I can tell you that this movie is one hundred percent accurate..

You know what would make this movie better?

A yeti

#Monsterdon

@L1vY@mstdn.social movies must have been so cheap to make in the 50s and 60s because you could get away with them being up to 20% military stock footage by runtime #monsterdon

#monsterdon Why are they all bunched up over there? Spread out! plenty of room!

#monsterdon Why can't anybody from the 1960s pronounce the word "robot" properly?

#monsterdon

@allanb @judgement_dave

P’shaw. This was great.

#Monsterdon

Oh god. I let it sit too long after #Monsterdon was done and it automatically started playing cat women of the moon.

if you are seeing this and don't know what #monsterdon is, you're about to see several thousand posts about a movie you weren't watching.

And now we know what to post as a distress signal to get help from the #Monsterdon community... #code24

btw our frankenstein killed the last surviving members of that alien race 😬 #monsterdon

Unnecessarily long musical Vespa riiiiide.... THE END

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon F-100 maybe too? they just took a lot of stock footage without caring about consistency lol

#monsterdon Ok, the space men are going to cover you in a bedsheet and put you on a conveyor belt, but don't scream, because then we'd have to pay you royalties.

So on a scale of Godzilla: Final Wars to The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy, how much actual Frankenstein versus The Space Monster fight do you think we're gonna get? #Monsterdon

code 24 == MAXIMUM POWER

#Monsterdon

the aliens recognize the doodad immediately, for it is a very advanced doodad #monsterdon

This movie has everything. Vespas, bikini ladies, palm trees, bondage, aliens, Frankensteins, princesses, spaceships, groovy music, cool leather outfits.

#Monsterdon

karen is robosexual

#monsterdon

maybe by not being a spacefaring creature, our gametes haven't differentiated and created their own incompatibilities with other gametes as a defense mechanism. so we're like the type O blood of the galaxy, and the rest of the spacefaring creatures periodically have to go harvest some missing sex, and usually they are fine on 'male' and 'female' and run out of some other sex and grab it from some other non-human animal, and we only notice it when they're coming for a human sex #monsterdon

ok the driving music sample we got only lasts 20 seconds so you need to periodically interrupt it with dialogue so we can restart it #monsterdon

what an unbelievably promising everything about this #monsterdon

I think the weirdest part of that whole #Monsterdon film, was the scene where the air force Frankenstein, who looks like an injured pilot, stops a motorist, and the driver immediately gets out of his car and tries to use some kind of flare to set him on fire.

Again, he doesn't look like a monster, he just looks like an injured pilot.

DANGIT! just realized today is Sunday… missed #Monsterdon 😩

Nadir noooooooo!
Wait that's it? No pithy last words about gods domain or nothing?
Just a Vespa ride? Nice place for it, but still...
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

I -NEED- a gif of the princess’ sideye. Stole the scene every time it appeared.
#Monsterdon

@strangefour They would be a good pair of podcast hosts too

#Monsterdon

Ah well, that was a movie where the title happened, sort of, so let's call it night

Thanks everyone!

#Monsterdon

An abrupt ending?

♫ that's the way it's got be yea / that's the way it's got be ♫

This one was fun, perfect balance of "huh, pretty good" and "this is atrocious". Have a nice night y'all!

#Monsterdon

I'm just going to assume they drive the vespa into the sea so I can tick that one off the Monsterdon list

#Monsterdon

@Taweret lol it certainly was something we all watched! #Monsterdon

What a lovely way to pay for a vacation in Puerto Rico. Another fantastic #monsterdon ! Thanks all! What a blast. 🧡

Don't worry, some of those jets are over a desert, and some of them are over a forest that dropped its leaves for winter.

You're safe in Puerto Rico.

#monsterdon

Whaaat, this movie is almost over already!!

They must have run out of sources of stock footage.

#Monsterdon

Today's jets are Lockheed F-94 Starfires!

#monsterdon

this man is AN AMERICAN

he overcomes language barriers by SPEAKING LOUDER #monsterdon

#monsterdon They're JUST NOW checking her purse?

She could have had a gun in there!

It's like the Army just gave this stock footage away for some reason. For some reason that starts with a p, ends with opaganda, can't remember what comes in the middle

#Monsterdon

...They received a Twix from Washington? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon puerto rico scooter montage <3

Ah, the lucky ones are dead.

#Monsterdon

I wonder if at some point we'll get medium energy

#Monsterdon

DR. NADIR

I'm in love with Dr. Nadir

#Monsterdon

Oooff, imagine running half of your brain on 1960s transistors...

#Monsterdon

the freezing is diegetic!!! holy fuckin shit!!! what are they even doing! #monsterdon

Every princess needs a panicky, shrill vizier

#Monsterdon

Best Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster character? #Monsterdon

OK, maybe I missed it, but did they ever explain WHY Nadir and the Princess kept loading the captive women on the the conveyer belt and disappearing them into the next room, all while smiling creepily at one another?

#monsterdon

When hairy space monster met Franky.
#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster

Another #monsterdon in the can.

Bad bald cap/bat ears makeup.
A Martian Princess (we could tell because of the hat)
Frank N. Stein
Tubes AND transistors in one space robut
The most tired group of pool partiers ever
A space monster (named Mull for some reason)
The titular fight shoehorned in at the last (literal) minute
And: So. Much. Stock-footage.

I was not expecting anything from this flick, and it delivered!

Thank you all for the laughs, and as always thank you to @Taweret for hosting!

They stole that last shot from Roman Holiday!

#Monsterdon

They really got their money's worth on the Vespa rental in that movie, didn't they?
Still can't get over how the dude just parked it straight in a puddle like that was a competent move

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I want a Vespa as compensation. #Monsterdon

@arrjay It's amazing how a movie that started with the actual monster BEFORE the opening credits lost so much pace

#Monsterdon

Thanks for the martian monster jamboree @Taweret ! #Monsterdon 🤖 #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster
