@brooke
Unclear. It looked really weird.
@paco Shocking #monsterdon
Huh! The kid that played Sean was actually Scottish! I thought his accent was a bit too consistent for somebody to have tried to make him sound Irish.
@diazona
Hey, don't be trying to sneak in philosophy when our minds are already weak from #Monsterdon.
The million volts meter? It was measuring electricity in "Pounds per β’ inch" But at least it was authentically from #London #monsterdon
@trixter I love it, can I borrow that?
@RamenCatholic @arisummerland I can play around with some designs then maybe someone more skilled can make it pretty. #Monsterdon
@davesdogmaggie @arisummerland @RamenCatholic Monster sized, perhaps?
@arisummerland @RamenCatholic Tall order. All that text plus art. Weβre gonna need a bigger shirt. #Monsterdon
I'd offer to design a logo, but I'm shit at that. This is not false modesty. #Monsterdon
That row of ?townhouses? that Gorgo's mom was walking through the middle of was milked for all it was worth - multiple cameras, breaking the footage up into little four or five second chunks (and repeating), and even resetting parts of it and stomping through 'em again (in some shots you can see the destroyed far wall in front of and on the other side of the kaiju).
Gonna start using βDorkinβs Circusβ to mean a messy situation, i.e. βWhat kind of Dorkinβs Circus did i just walk into?β #Monsterdon
@root The AIs are on to us #monsterdon
@YsengrinWolf I guess it's not in every version, but my copy actually had a bit appended at the end that said exactly that. (And that Gorgo's momma was played by a male actor, even)
@Taweret Thank you for convening Dorkin's Circus tonight #monsterdon
yaaay we did it again! :D
Thanks to everyone for riffing the feck out of this, and especially thanks to Taweret! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon is now trending across Mastodon
@YsengrinWolf well, sure, that just goes without saying.
@moira And stock footage. Lots of military stock footage, Repeated, flipped and repeated again.
Gorgone. #Monsterdon
Wow. Family drama here on #Monsterdon !
Good to see Mom and Child F off Into the Sea (FOITS) together. Very wholesome ending. Species-positive!
Tremendous fun tonight!
πΉ Thanks @Taweret for hostage I mean hosting! It was a blast!
πΉAnd to the #Monsterdon Real Time Film Analysis Unit*...On top of every detail as usual! Not even echoes were missed!
πΉ @cheribaker - Thanks for the Bingo card! My favorite = "Tail Smash"
* Yes, "unit"....I'm not editing it
A good time, as always! Thanks #monsterdon crew, especially @Taweret !
it's not like now when you can CGI that shit up in about 20 minutes, they had to explode actual things
Dear instancemates, if you can see this post, below here in the timeline you will come across a mess of #monsterdon posts. See here for an explanation of the phenomenon and mitigation steps: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon
@aburka I almost thought he literally said that
@kcarp @jonny @msh LOL ok everyone, time to go ohm #monsterdon
@jonny Makes Japan seem progressive #monsterdon
Yeah, the best part of Gorgo was *definitely* the mom taking London apart with her bare hands. She deserved ever morsel. #Monsterdon
Momma destroys London and finds her baby #Gorgo and they fuck off back into the sea!
THE END
And that speech...worthy of a Doctor Who special!
I love happy endings!
This #Monsterdon was a total sausage fest but still a blast thanks @Taweret for bringing us along for the ride!
i give #gorgo like a 6/10. worth watching just to see #JusticeForGorgo happening
Nvmnd the internet is back on the TV.
#Monsterdon #Gorgo
They're goin' back now, they are! Feckin' off right into the sea. - What Sean was actually thinking
@paco Momma Gorgo became the best jolly old monster that the jolly old City ever saw!
How were no buses destroyed? We kept pointing out buses to Gorgoβs mum, βRight there! Step on it!!β #Monsterdon
ah see that was great, i had a thing all lined up about "Don't blame me, I voted for GORG... oh. sorry" but I didn't even need it! :D
Many thanks to @Taweret for broadening our horizons and lowering our standards. The bar was already in the gutter, but we must all strive to achieve new depths. #monsterdon #gorgo
That ending was okay until sean made it all cringy. #Monsterdon
As always a good time with #Monsterdon
Another awesome #Monsterdon! Thanks to everyone, posters and lurkers, and of course, to @Taweret!
Quality cheese. Fun chatter. Thanks, @Taweret!
Goodnight, #Monsterdon people.
*mouth full of popcorn* no don't you dare start Reptilicus in 14 seconds.
#monsterdon #gorgo night yall
AWWW look at the baby Gorgo!
Fucking internet crashed with less than 10 minutes to go & it isn't coming back up. Rebooting would require going all the way downstairs.
Guess that's all the streaming for us tonight.
Thank Tashlan that I have the internet on my phone, so you can keep me updated on the ending. Whew.
#Monsterdon #Gorgo
@Taweret thanks again! always a good time #monsterdon
She's like, "come on, so, let's go home." *Sniffles and tears up* I do love a happy ending. :blobfoxhappy: #Monsterdon #Gorgo
Of all the movies we've watched for Monsterdon, this was certainly one of them! #monsterdon #gorgo
_Definitely_ more bracing without Mike and the bots.
And i'll give it this too: no denouement! There's a lot wrong about this movie but they got that right too!
and sam, who's drunken idea to maybe release the baby they'd kidnapped, is rewarded for his one moment of repentance by getting a husband and kid in the package. good for him. #monsterdon
#monsterdon "Leaving the prostate city" you know I've heard London called a lot of things but
AND THEY FUCK RIGHT THE FUCK OFF RIGHT INTO THE FUCKING SEA #monsterdon
Next time make sure you have a signed contract before trying to put a monster on view at your circus #monsterdon
we have to clip the "they're going now, back into the sea" as the anthemic clip of fucking off into the sea #FOITS #monsterdon
"She's fucking off now. Fucking off to the sea". #Monsterdon #Gorgo
@Taweret literally a better story than godzilla because there's no loss with london being destroyed unlike in godzilla's story.
shh, we didn't reuse the same suit for gorgo and his mom in this shot
@diazona The pitch for this script: "what if we remade the Magnetic Monster, but with a monster" #monsterdon
@arisummerland It's traditional. The British love tradition
from before the dawn of this movie, at the very least. #monsterdon
A miracle! Who could have POSSIBLY have figured out that a mother would fight for her baby??? #Monsterdon
Fucks off into the Thames #monsterdon #gorgo
right so just give back the baby you fucking lowlifes #monsterdon
Is shaving cream on the lips a bad sign? #monsterdon
@aburka I noticed a suspicious number of similarities
good for fucking her, take your kid back home
Fuck me they are borrowing the ending of the Magnetic Monster word for word #monsterdon
It's a little bleak that Japan processed bombing trauma with a monster to knock down cities, and England is doing it with a monster that destroys tunnels where people are sheltering, eh
gorGo back to your mom
@jonny Yeah makes sense
@bunnyhero Too bad Youtube didn't exist then #monsterdon
Made it home just in time for the end of #Monsterdon.
It's been fun watching London get torn up, at least.
@msh this joke is forbidden i will not allow it #monsterdon
"Now will you listen to me and not play with that junk in the woods? Let's go home" #Monsterdon
i hope london's power infrastructure is in shambles after this
don't electrocute her, you'll only piss her off. #monsterdon
what if that guy is not really a reporter but just likes to pretend to be one #monsterdon
Navy dork: There's no way of telling where this thing will go next.
Me, outloud to my tv: Yes there is!
We should probably all be glad it's not Gorgo's dad.
Them: Two guys rolling a big wooden wire spool down the fairway
Me, an American: "WHERE ARE YOU FUCKERS TAKING MY COFFEE TABLE"
#monsterdon #gorgo
And thus endeth the Gorgo. #Monsterdon
The only reason they can do this electrical thing is the infrastructure for when everyone puts the kettle on at the end of the footy match #monsterdon
A couple hundred amps? Surely that's not enough to do more than just get him/her annoyed #monsterdon
@aburka I suppose for the characters the end of the movie *is* the end of time
Unless there's a sequel
@apLundell He was having a lockdown party of course!
is that... is that Q? like james bond Q?
That movie gave me whiplash, cult island mystery to Godzilla/King Kong
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon I always love seeing a dude with an "End is near" sign just absolutely getting his entire last decade or however long completely validated.
There's an oil refinery in the middle of London? That we can destroy with friendly fire?
Although that underground electricity palace showing up here would be pretty sweet #monsterdon
I'm just imagining Gorgo's mother siniging "Rose's Turn" in Ethel Merman's voice as she destroy's London #monsterdon
I bet that guy checking the wires knows Q. #Monsterdon
@chirpbirb a playful chuck on the arm is just about all the plot resolution we're going to get there #monsterdon
Nature is healing!
β«βͺ Doooooown with the OOOOOOOOOLD FOOOOLKS aaaaaaat HOOOOOME βͺβ« #Monsterdon
