@annathepiper You'd think they'd eventually learn

#Monsterdon

Oh no this is just going to make me want to find a way to work that super-fancy Blu-ray Evangelion set with the original dub track into my budget... That's worse than wanting a Minidisc player. #monsterdon

Well it looks like gamera had a whole ecosystem swimming there with it

#Monsterdon #Gamera

#Monsterdon Helicopter just blowin Raspberries, in that opening scene. I found some subtitles here https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/subtitles/8320447-japanese-1080p-bluray-h264-aac-vxt be warned though that website feels sketchy af despite the word "open" in the url...

#Monsterdon

Hm. I have neither sub nor dub.

"What if the cargo bay had ruptured" Well.. we'd be dead and you'd be fired... and dead. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

That schoolgirl is a government spy #Monsterdon

We are five minutes into this movie, and I think we can all agree that the real monster is the voice actors in this dub. #Monsterdon

non-interference? what do you think this is, star trek?

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

A lot of potential #monsterdon #bingo possibilities are precluded by the lower right corner being impossible to cross out until the end of the movie!

dropping news via schoolgirl chatter is...different! #monsterdon

Okay, the “not subtitling text” thing got really annoying now that we’re spending a minute flashing to shots of newspapers. #monsterdon

omfg i'm late for #monsterdon

#Monsterdon How many speed dial buttons does a guy need? Does he have everyone in Japan programmed on that phone?

Beware of viscous roaming atolls #Monsterdon

I have no idea what I'm looking at.

nope, not here either

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#monsterdon this is shitty intro screen

Hello old ADV anime dub voice actors.
Hello wandering island mystery. 🐢
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

Anybody else get big Titanic vibes from that boat collision lol #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

I'm watching the dubbed version and I gotta say it's super weird seeing these Japanese sailors speaking English with western accents

#Monsterdon

@skatem yup, watching the sub for tonight's #Monsterdon too. That always makes it harder to participate.

@moira It's traditional! :D #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I will push my hat back to show my exasperation.

Oop, misread that as "Plutonium Transporter, Kobayashi Maru"

and now I want Shatner to make a cameo in this movie

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Those dang hit and run atolls!

oh no, they're going to all jam into the smallest business-class jet.

wait, how are they going to land it? #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe god dammit you beat me to it xD

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Love the titles.
#Monsterdon.

Kid info dump
And the scientists daughter.

kaiju hongry for that plutonium #monsterdon

New petition against tax!? Again!? #Monsterdon

Crash course on the dangers of radiation that they're hauling

#Monsterdon #Gamera

ok the techno has started on this uk dub and it's wild #monsterdon

@trixter Me trying to figure out Blender instructions. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Cool. I've got a dubbed version with subtitles that barely match. The audio is slightly shorter than the text which has more story.

#Monsterdon #Gamera

feeshies #monsterdon

“This whole thing is completely impossible” I will be slipping into conversation tomorrow #Monsterdon

Sailors in the Godzilla franchise are either brave or foolhardy, and only accidentally ramming a kaiju distinguishes the two.

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

fucking archive dot org #monsterdon

This naval captain is reacting to this news with a very Airplane-esque "I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue" demeanor. #Monsterdon

Wow, that guy got whiplash!
#Gamera
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Even inhaling 1 millionth of a gram…

Ooo, 90s flaming titles, very nice :D #Monsterdon

Moving atoll!!!
Damn climate change!

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

Mr. Radar! #monsterdon

No radiation leak reported, so no problem.

#monsterdon

AH so the boat is being attacked by opening credits! I SEE.

#Monsterdon

Dave, did you leave your gum on the radar again? #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe well I did... oh I forgot!

let me add a #monsterdong to that

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

And we’re off. My subtitles aren’t handling the on-screen text, but I’m confident this is a Japanese film. Also good to see we’re immediately going into the dangers of nuclear power and weapons. #monsterdon

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU SHUT DOWN YOUR ENGINES?"

Captain, have you considered electrifying the hull?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Let’s hope nothing goes wrong!” 🚨

@moira Man if THAT is what they ran aground on, this is gonna be a very different film than what I was expecting. #Monsterdon

Did he say... oh.. A-Toll. He said Atoll. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

screw it lets do #monsterdon

Oh this movie comes right out the gate with the drama, I love it

#Monsterdon

this is the smoothest running aground I have ever seen #monsterdon

oh shit this version doesn't have subtitles #monsterdon

Christ, what an atoll #monsterdon

Just arbitrary light blue ties. Makes sense. #Monsterdon

I like how they stand around and recite all the Wikipedia page contents for radioactivity.

#monsterdon

ran into something enormous, you and that french pole vaulter

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse #monsterdong

#Monsterdon

Just made it.

Followers, mute (or follow) the #Monsterdon tag for the next couple of hours..

Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is up.

Heisei Era kaiju movies always make me want to dig up niche retro electronics on eBay so thoughts and prayers. #monsterdon

Me at work next year: "SUNY will become the ocean of death."

#monsterdon

I am so ready for this! I am Groot!

Wait... Raccoons don't swim in the ocean...

Did I walk into the wrong Guardian movie?

#Monsterdon

"Let's just hope nothing goes wrong."

BUT AS WE SEE!! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Some opening shots of a boat, boating to ominous music and foreshadowing dialogue! Jumping right in, I see.

Oh, uh, I guess you gotta manually turn on subtitles on tubi #Monsterdon

"Let's hope nothing goes wrong"
You had to say it!

#Monsterdon

"it would be such a shame if..."

#monsterdon

This soundtrack sounds so much older than the movie looks. #Monsterdon

Countdown to one or more of these ships being sunk by a monster in 3... 2...

#Monsterdon

It's always either a ship or a boat in the first scene. #Monsterdon
