"Three, two, one, mark. Roger. Whoever."

#Monsterdon

This music is groovy as fuck!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

The extremely wooden, military 50s visuals and the proto-groovy 60s music is jarring

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon mission control looked something like this decades ago itsefl!

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Crap. I've already lost the plot.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster1965

Okay, I know "newsreel/stock footage with a backing track" is a cheap and lazy way to do a montage, but I don't actually mind it

#Monsterdon

if you were wondering why the soundtrack was fucked up in the countdown. well. it was also fucked up in the movie #monsterdon

Yeah 🎵 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PM5-zF85LE&list=RD9PM5-zF85LE&start_radio=1 #monsterdon

Every space rocket looks like a male member.

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne it's very lumpy. #monsterdon

I just checked Letterboxd and I've watched this twice? #Monsterdon

They got a neat edition of archive footage
#monsterdon
#frankensteinmeetsspacemonster

I am doing the twist right now, tho #Monsterdon

@Lazarou amazing, we could have had android sex bots by now & the entire manosphere would have been neutralized. #Monsterdon

This is where Musk got the idea for XAI. And Grok. And for NeuraLink. And his own brain woes.

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

The first few minutes of this one made me wonder if I was having a stroke, bravo #Monsterdon

The antenna on that "simple apparatus" was the solder tip from an old school solder gun.

#monsterdon

What’s with this Manson music?

#Monsterdon

TFW you see the crappy ear and head make-up job they gave you in this low budget career ender.

#Monsterdon

do the herky jerky

#monsterdon

we can only
wait and see
if his brain can set us free

#monsterdon

@cs "People can be replaced, but those Aeros are _expensive_."

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Marvy space conspiracy! Outta sight!

#monsterdon

Inside Mitch McConnell's brain. #monsterdon

Go go go! Oh, I’m late.

#Monsterdon

I like how the NASA transfer van is just a horse trailer with NASA TRANSFER VAN written on it

Everything is more official with block letters

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

I want my own NASA Transfer Van

#Monsterdon

Go Go time

#Monsterdon

Pshhh. Peoples be cheaper than that machine. Shoot ‘em on up there! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon sure has a lot of clocks on and televisions that rocket. Ground control to Colonel sanders...

see if they'd just had one of these for spock they wouldn't've had to go to that ice planet at all

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

#monsterdon The frankenstein's computer brain is amazing.

Aw yeah, it's jazz for the man with the hollow head here on K-CORPSE, all zombie cyborg jazz all the time! #Monsterdon

This soundtrack is fucking wild

#monsterdon

Like this will be the grooviest launch ever man. Dig that rocket cat yeah!

#Monsterdon

Why send a single, highly trained, adaptable human when we can send a highly technical patchwork cyborg the crashes mid-interview?

#Monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Wow, they're combining the risk of a crewed mission with the shortcomings of a robotic mission.

On one hand, I do see the upside of "if it goes horribly wrong, no one actually died" but on the other, , ,

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon holy crap this soundtrack!

Wow, the music in this film is all over the place.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

She's looking at him like she wants to take his brain out.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Groovy tunes!

Every time the camera pans, I expect to see Rod Serling about to deliver a monologue. #monsterdon

A normal human being created out of normal human parts… does that make the colonel Frankenstein’s monster? #Monsterdon

i thought col. bluescreen looked familiar but according to letterboxd the only other thing he's done is a small part in a warren beatty movie #Monsterdon

Late for #monsterdon but here!

#Monsterdon so in the remake, we're casting Patton Oswalt as the general, right?

Space Jazz!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

#monsterdon Society was groovier in the sixties..

Or the machine tells you to mix glue with your tomato sauce to make the cheese stick?

#Monsterdon

What if the machine breaks? Or something goes wrong with his brain? AGAIN?

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

So, why not sent robots? Why send some sort of cyborg android?

#Monsterdon

@moira No - that was a brain switch

#monsterdon
#FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

#Monsterdon dude's right that sending robots is safer, faster and cheaper for the vast majority of planetary exploration missions

They need the interior of a human skull to be dry and not humid.

A human body. They need --

They want an ugly bag of mostly water to be dry inside.

These people are not very good at their jobs, are they.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Man froze like Mitch McConnell. #Monsterdon

[clapping hand emojis interspersed] get the politics out of my frankenstein #monsterdon

wait a minute. that's the guy from return of the living dead

#Monsterdon

did they just short him with a screwdriver! I hope someone dunked that tool in alcohol first. #monsterdon

the doc has a point

human spaceflight is wildly overrated by sentimental meatbags

send a robot, do way more science for way longer

#Monsterdon

"a normal human being made out of normal parts" I'm not a fan of how you phrased that. #monsterdon

"Men are cheap! Why not just do that?"

#Monsterdon

Robotman better get on the dancefloor at some point in this movie, or I'm gonna riot.

#monsterdon

"We can control him with this mechanism" he says, less than 5 minutes after it became abundantly clear they could not control him

#monsterdon

This is a high-tech lab, with multiple oscilloscopes and colored liquid in various flasks.

Made from perfectly normal human parts, too.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero OH MY GODS

you win, it's over already xD

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Thank you for explaining to us, the witless audience, why a robot might be useful in space

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

#Monsterdon 🇵🇷 🧟‍♂️☄️ 🌌 👾 😱

GROOVY

Goes well with Inside Job S01 (animated)

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetstheSpaceMonster1965

#monsterdon

so basically every politician is like this right

That simple mechanism was a block of plastic with a soldering gun tip attached to it. 😂

#monsterdon

_that_

was a lightswitch

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Eureka fans will recognize Deputy Andy's creepy grin

#Monsterdon

I don’t think that would’ve happened if they’d used integrated circuits instead of that big old tube. #Monsterdon

It’s only Frankenstein if they said you were mad in Vienna. Otherwise it’s sparkling electric meat monster. #monsterdon

The only bingo square I've hit so far is the Godzilla one. It's going to be a long night.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster1965

@Configures your guess is as good as mine!

#Monsterdon

oooh, parts is parts #monsterdon

Someone whack him on the side of the head, he'll be fine #monsterdon

Half man.

Half machine.

ALL CHARM.

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

#monsterdon I love the explanation of the colonel's control system..

“And now, gentlemen, the world’s smallest press conference.”
#Monsterdon

Ewwwwwww #monsterdon

"yes, you smug fuck, now fuck off we're trying to get shit done."

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

Um, this is more gross than I was expecting from this film #BrainSurgery #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "your dream of a milk-proof robot is a fool's errand!"

A vacuum tube! LOL

#monsterdon

He’s opening up his positronic matrix!

#Monsterdon

OK, *that's* not something I needed to see while eating

#Monsterdon

He's a cylon!

#Monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Gotta reboot the astronaut, I guess?
#Monsterdon

ChatGPT crashed, no rocket launch today!

#Monsterdon

Oh, kernal sanders IS ai. That explains it

#monsterdon

Radio Shack-ass brain

#monsterdon

I somehow completely spaced out on #monsterdon. Jumping in at the nine minute mark to OH WOW going right in for the brain huh #monsterdon

half a brain, a vacuum tube and some awful point to point wiring work.

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpaceMonster

Tube-brains give you much better sound….

#monsterdon

This man's head is full of bumblebee resistors! They'll absorb too much water and he'll never make it to mars!

#monsterdon #FrankensteinMeetsTheSpacemonster

#Monsterdon Oh, so this is why we've only sent robots.
