Wait. How long since the nuclear bombs fell? Theyβre still dealing with all that fallout now, right?
This garden patio is super pretty considering they're living in a nuclear fallout #Monsterdon
Larry wasnβt THAT great
#monsterdon Larry the Lounge Lizard.
thank God the birds are ok
#monsterdon
Also, only 1000 bombs? Sounds low.
the way our timeline works a nuclear war wouldnt even end our civilization it would just raise unemployment and inflation or whatever
These post-apocalyptic people are having a nice little garden party..?
they're dead, jim joanna
Larry didn't come
#Monsterdon
I don't want to hear about Larry's personal issues.
#monsterdon
#intheyear2889
There's pills for that now you know. #Monsterdon #InTheYear2889ow
Formosa...that's a name I've not heard in some time...
"Z for Zachariah, but worse".
Should have been Jonny Fever with WKRP in Cincinnati.
"Larry didn't come."
"Isn't Larry the director of this film?! What are we supposed to do NOW??"
their backyard looks pretty good for having been allegedly destroyed by nuclear fire
The whole world has been silencedβ¦ except for Ted. Heβs still doing the morning zoo show.
Also, does this imply that the war was started by China?
632 Roentgen per hour?
@CactuarJoe ok that got me good
Itβs time for Monsterdon, letβs let our keyboards fly. Letβs gear our jokes up, for Monsterdon time!
If you can't find an actual Bible passage to use, try a different narrative device
Biblical quote over mushroom cloud footage is some good opening vibes.
"and a FURIOUS ANGER on those who would poison and destroy my brothers..."
Bible jump scare. Thanks, #Monsterdon
Wait is this live action Akira?
#monsterdon
Well that was a short film. I hope no one was too attached to the people on the ground.
In case you don't have the subtitles on, this is God talking.
Representing Lemmy/Piefed, Mastodon's fediverse sibling! on #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π β© βοΈ π£ π₯ π§ π§ββοΈ π§ π±
we go hard from the beginning i guess
Fastest time to mushroom cloud
War. War never changes.
Government test footage. Check.
#monsterdon
So apparently this is a remake of a Roger Corman film. Hm...
I've always liked how the Gappa are just bipedal griffins with lizard tails.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
They brought giant squid lunch for their baby.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
that has got to be one of the worst movies we've ever seen for so many different reasons #Monsterdon
Fighting over Land and Sea and Aaaaiiiir! GI GAPPA!
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
One of the gaijin actors speakin english has a thick french (?) accent
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
WHy are you torturing the baby?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
ENGLISH SPEAKING SUBMARINE CREW!
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
Gappas sound like frogs with gas.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
The cave and this mountainside set both feel really big for the adult Gappa. Maybe it's just the filming but it's neat to have what feels like bigger than normal kaiju sets.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
I got distracted from #monsterdon :p Been reworking my codebase for this app in Xcode to make things more streamlined using new things I've learned. And had to catch the latest about #trump redneck #ufc thing.
Cool cave lake set. With glowing eyes! Mama and Papa are angy.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
"Go back to the office, marry a coworker, have babies!" is a common refrain in these movies, but at least here it's meant sarcastically.
YES, giant eggs are always good, take it and make omarisu!
"Omg you stupid colonizers don't touch the fresh hatched baby! Haven't you seen Gorgo? It came out 8 years ago."
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@AnarchoNeighbor @LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne oh right, that explains everything.
@klu9 Okay the racism they're doing and specifically the kid being like no the statue's gonna fuck you brought it back, this was one of the late-night movies I watched early in the pandemic before discovering #monsterdon!
@CactuarJoe
1 person finally caved.
That person needs to be cast out of the survival mansion! π
Oh hey they made a life sized ruined statue. Neat. That statue already has more budget put into it and art than In The Year 2889.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
Oh right. We do a little island racism like every King Kong or Mothra movie.
That'd be why I remember this as a good bad movie. Good kaiju, bad brown face.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
Sometimes the #Monsterdon films are so bad, theyβre not even heckle-able.
@AnarchoNeighbor @LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne U.S. politics really is a dull plot.
Ahhhhnd I'm out
Wait, is this a level from a Tomb Raider game?
@strangefour@retro.pizza But it makes it clear from five kilometers that they're doing a colonialism!
#Monsterdon #Gappa
That doesn't look like a Moai. Head is far too tiny.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
My kid did a better volcano project for science class
I will say this, the utter stupidity of #InTheYear2889 is exactly the kind of mental reset I needed today
@davesdogmaggie A little rain will fix you right up! #monsterdon
#InTheYear2889
The volcanic bombs make this an even more thrilling vacation spot!
#Monsterdon #Gappa
Ahhm, the shitass incandescent flashlights
Oooh. Giant set of glowing eyes under the water looks great.
Man I haven't seen Gappa in so long maybe it is better than I thought?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
This was reallyβ¦ something. Iβm noticing a trend lately with #monsterdon that every week seems to outdo the last in terms of βyep, worst. movie. ever.β but hey, we signed up for this π€£
Have a fantastic week everyone! Do well. Do good.
@dogwelder @Louisa they fumbled that reveal so bad. "yeah, it was larry. oh well" #monsterdon
#monsterdon did we watch Gappa before? This is incredibly familiar- I think the plot might also be the plot of a Gamera? I know we had pretty lady ukelele boat cold open in Mantango already.
The main attraction is sexism!
Two movies in a row where an old man has a model made over a possible volcano.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@jonny exactly my thought
@lalah This is an excellent question.
@apLundell They could've called it "Three Weeks Later."
The tedious old man, the menacing rapist, and dull plot sunk what could have been an interesting telepathic zombie film. Ah well. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for the chance to share a partially irradiated future #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Most importantly, what did any of that have to do with the year 2889?!?
The wildlife on that island is Gigantic!
It's like this guy's never even seen Jurassic Park...
Playmate, Inc? Is this safe for work?
#Monsterdon #Gappa
After that last one the color on this looks *amazing*
Playmate land? The magazine or the toy manufacturer?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@kcarr2015 But we did get to see the Horta's love interest, tho?!... Matthew tells me there's a 1 Danny Devito limit! #MonsterDon
Well, that's another #Monsterdon in the can. Many thanks as always to @Taweret for organizing this every week, and @miru for the stream.
Have fun all y'all that are staying on for Gappa!
#monsterdon I had my previous post about the monster being fiance-Larry all cued up so I could gloat, but they never really did a reveal did they
I think they said it was Larry? But barely, in the rush to end the movie
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Ugh, the real monsters were the movie-makers! But thanks to all of you in the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad for saving this 90 minutes!
β€οΈ And thank you so much @Taweret for hosting tonight's strange-sounding slog. We do this to ourselves. But your weekly hosting efforts are always appreciated!
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Dancing" because that was a real weird scene.
I wish we'd watched this version instead. https://tubitv.com/movies/493011/the-day-the-world-ended
watching Kaz Rowe's history videos on YT and doing the crossword for the rest of the night to create a protective updraft in my brain
I forgot Gappa had a jaunty little theme song.
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
@Configures
Oh, I think I just looked away while typing. That was maybe the most sudden ending of all of #Monsterdon
I'm gonna call the ongoing discussion on what was happening to the mutated humans Scientific Curiosity, and that's a win I guess, except that I had to watch this movie.
@davesdogmaggie Godmonster was goddamn cinema next to this
RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/116751737528073774
15 votes and we're still at 100% Awful. How long will it hold? :D #Monsterdon
I was a bit behind the rest of you but I made it to the beginning. Wow that was bad.
Move over Godmonster of Indian Flats, thereβs a new sheriff in town. And by sheriff I mean worst movie.
#monsterdon And what was the point of the weird gun?
So it had an awkward extra-large magazine.
But why? Either in-universe or from a film-making perspective, why? How many shots did he fire? Three?
I'll bet the direction just owned that gun and thought it was really bad-ass.
G A P P A ! !
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster
I didnβt like that movie. It was boring, and none of the characters were redeemable. Maybe Joanna and Steve, but only just barely. Tim and Jada should have hooked up. Still, it was fun watching with you all!
As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!
@blue clean water kills monsters so use clean water.
@jonny "strokelike dialogue choices" xD
If any of yall can stay up, we are about to have a good movie over on @miru with Gappa the Triphibian Monster
