well. thanks for hosting @Taweret . i vote for whatever the immediate next chronological movie is, what the fuck was up with the mummy cockroaches #monsterdon
@Taweret Oh well. Can't say I'm super surprised #monsterdon
Nah, I guess he was "the scientist" https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0622416/?ref_=nm_mv_close #monsterdon
I guess this is the identity of mystery derelict guy #monsterdon
I really wish they'd just had the courage to have Raymond Burr say "history shows again and again, how nature points out the folly of man." #monsterdon
Thanks for hosting #Monsterdon once again @Taweret !
I will not sleep right not knowing what the deal was with the big cockroaches but it was still fun to see a good ol' Perry Mason special again
@Taweret Did anything at all seem familiar? #monsterdon
Part of it is that the first appearance was right after the establishing shot of the Pentagon, and I am almost positive that you could not get Dr Pepper in DC at that time. I visited for a week as a teenager in the 90s, and you know how teenagers can fixate on a particular junk food? At that time I was fixated on Dr Pepper, I tried to find it for every single meal that week, and it was nowhere to be found. #monsterdon
#monsterdon So what has he taught us?
Play us off, Raymond Burr #monsterdon
ty for joining, everyone! 🐲
Something makes me think this little hot tub experience isn't going to hurt Godzilla #monsterdon
#monsterdon I like to imagine that the VHS artifacting indicates parts of the tape that the original owner rewound and watched over and over.
they tampered in god's domain
That sound that's attracting him sounds like a bug zapper #monsterdon
I'm starting to think the real monster... is man
I don't know why but the Dr Pepper product placement in the American scenes really amuses me #monsterdon
#monsterdon, So, does Tokyo have a lot of massive parabolic-dish speakers? Or just the one?
i am enjoying the vhs artifacts
Yeah this guy has to be some kind of popular comedian of the time #monsterdon
aren't there guys who can make bird sounds with their mouths? i don't understand why they didn't just put a bunch of amps up there, give a hunter the mic #monsterdon
how is ducking going to help if Godzilla steps on you?
#monsterdon This shtick with the hobo really feels like we're supposed to recognize the comedian and smile because we remember when he was in some other thing.
#monsterdon maybe let her get a few feet down the rope so you aren't in danger of kicking her in the face?
#monsterdon Let's both climb it at the same time. Makes sense.
Godzilla knows how to use tools confirmed #monsterdon
#monsterdon Ah good. The new server is here. Now we can preserve our "five nines" uptime.
Why did they try the door? They're trying to get to street level.
Street level is not behind that door.
God this suit is a huge step back from the 70s ones we've been seeing. Absolutely terrible eyes #monsterdon
there are 15 minutes left in this movie wtf was up with those cockaroaches? #monsterdon
Did not expect pro-SDI propaganda in this but mid-80s Hollywood just cannot be stopped apparently #monsterdon
#monsterdon Remember when that American guy said they should tranquilize Godzilla and everyone scoffed at him?
I'll bet they'll wish they'd done that.
Love how they just stood there placidly as a soldier aimed and fired a rifle-like thing at the window they were behind and had to be waved behind cover after it attached #monsterdon
i would've strapped that briefcase through my belt or something, but i guess I'm built different #monsterdon
(also i wasn't paying enough attention to know what's in it)
What's missing in this movie is the motorcycle chase scene #monsterdon
i don't think you need a special sci-fi bullet to break a window lol #monsterdon
#monsterdon There's no gunplay in this movie, but one of the heroes still managed to get grazed in the upper arm.
i feel like they could've spared more than 1 missile #monsterdon
@Taweret "maybe the Americans can shoot down the missile" yep this was made in the mid 80s #monsterdon
Godzilla just has a bad case of acid reflux and needs to rest a bit. I'm sure when he gets up again and snacks on a little nuke or two he'll be right as rain again #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I love how their Orsen Welles cosplayer is still just hanging out in the pentagon war room.
you think the American military can help AVERT a bad thing? interesting theory
oh lol, that's what's happening. ofc. #monsterdon
does Godzilla seem a little smaller in this one?
Godzilla 1985 is set in the RoboCop universe #monsterdon
@Taweret "if youda called me two days ago this woulda been no problem, but now?" #monsterdon
@Taweret just imagine though, godzilla stops to itch himself against a skyscraper like a cow at a fence post, and those things come raining down and start chasing civilians #monsterdon
i want a Godzilla movie told from the POV of a maser truck operator
are those bird call rays???? #monsterdon
@Taweret if they are skin parasites, it would have been a neat way to have some street level action. I think Cloverfield did something like that? They might have been larvae, I don't remember that movie all that well #monsterdon
was that a maser?? did i miss something? #monsterdon
the bird call is also gonna summon the cockroach swarm right? #monsterdon
#monsterdon is this some well known comic actor we're supposed to know?
Seeing Perry Mason in a Godzilla movie sparks joy in me #Monsterdon
Is he searching for Baby Godzilla in this one? #monsterdon
we're really doing this dumbass bird plan huh
#monsterdon There's not many scenes of Godzilla just going to town on the skyline.
The destruction is mostly in carefully planned close-ups.
That makes a weird change.
you can't prove that was Godzilla's fault, helicopters do that on their own all the time #monsterdon
@SeanAloysiusOBrien also if we don't use our cool shit we won't get to keep our government funding #Military #SunkCostFallacy #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Woo! Flame suit stunt!
that was a fun moment for vcr artifacts to pop in, i liked that #monsterdon
#monsterdon I love how godzilla just gets up like that.
where are your maser trucks, you noobs??
#monsterdon Nitpick : They forgot to wind this clock.
Pretty weak plan...bird tweets really? Everyone knows that you need to find the island where the smol ladies live and get a couple of them to sing their Kaiju Lullaby #Monsterdon
are the giant roaches gonna come up again or???
#monsterdon I wonder where all those infantry are going. What's the plan for them?
The professor definitely went to the barber with a glamor shot of Charles Bronson #monsterdon
@apLundell He's Ironsides #monsterdon
#monsterdon Luckily off-brand Orson Welles is here. He once saw Godzilla. That makes him an expert.
what do you mean they didn't find a corpse? they used the bones to make mechagodzilla!!
@Taweret well they just watched Meaning of Life see so the "Mr. Creosote stratagem" is front of mind
thank god you're here. some guy
@robotcarsley Maybe he followed the birds because they smelled delicious, did they consider that? #monsterdon
#monsterdon This is a silly plan.
This birdsong theory is *extremely* stupid and I hope the movie realizes that and it fails #monsterdon
Godzilla: Hey, my brain is down HERE #monsterdon
if they don't have masers I'm gonna be so mad
#monsterdon Does that plane have masers on it?
nope, super x defense planes. can't catch a fuckin break #monsterdon
Sweet, sweet gamma rays #monsterdon
masers? #monsterdon
"He's gotten into the reactor!"
I want the other guy to say "Uh, actually, sir, that's the cooling tower."
so they KNOW he eats radiation and their plan is to nuke him??
@robotcarsley Also valid: Yakkety Sax #monsterdon
I appreciate the leisurely pan up godzilla's body but couldn't we have a nice sultry saxophone solo instead of booming orchestral music #monsterdon
As a compromise, let the superpowers use your telepathic schoolgirls at least #monsterdon
this reminds me of d*. wh*, always coming up with reasons their dead empire is the center of the universe #monsterdon
come on, let us nuke your country
"GODZILLA WINS THE PENNANT!" #monsterdon
"Before anyone else dies, Godzilla must be destroyed! Then we can get back to killing each other" #monsterdon
Ah yes the UN Kaiju Summit #Monsterdon
"Call a press conference. Tell them it's Godzilla."
What's all this English? That's not what we paid for! #monsterdon
it actually makes good thematic sense to bring the threat of wwiii into a Godzilla movie
