@CactuarJoe RIP, Larry.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889 🎥🧻

"you're telling me all the piano tuners are DEAD?!"

#monsterdon

Has anyone ever really began a sentence "come"? Like he did just there: "Come, lets' go inside."

#monsterdon

Sorry, your (I assume) boyfriend didn't make it. Lets go inside an play piano!
#Monsterdon

That was a creepy ass shoulder rub.

#Monsterdon

The non-YA version of "Z for Zachariah."

#Monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

I wonder what the mutants are doing right now.

#Monsterdon

And now, the Ink Spots

#monsterdon

@Taweret Radiation medicine now cost $5k a dose and not covered by insurance
#monsterdon   

That's a pic of Larry? I don't think you're missing much....

#Monsterdon

Wait. How long since the nuclear bombs fell? They’re still dealing with all that fallout now, right?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

This garden patio is super pretty considering they're living in a nuclear fallout #Monsterdon

Larry wasn’t THAT great

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

#monsterdon Larry the Lounge Lizard.

thank God the birds are ok
#monsterdon

Also, only 1000 bombs? Sounds low.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

the way our timeline works a nuclear war wouldnt even end our civilization it would just raise unemployment and inflation or whatever

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

These post-apocalyptic people are having a nice little garden party..?

they're dead, jim joanna

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

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...

#Monsterdon

"Z for Zachariah, but worse".

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Should have been Jonny Fever with WKRP in Cincinnati.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

"Larry didn't come."

"Isn't Larry the director of this film?! What are we supposed to do NOW??"

#monsterdon

their backyard looks pretty good for having been allegedly destroyed by nuclear fire

#monsterdon

The whole world has been silenced… except for Ted. He’s still doing the morning zoo show.

#Monsterdon

Also, does this imply that the war was started by China?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

632 Roentgen per hour?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

@CactuarJoe ok that got me good

#monsterdon

It’s time for Monsterdon, let’s let our keyboards fly. Let’s gear our jokes up, for Monsterdon time!

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

If you can't find an actual Bible passage to use, try a different narrative device

#monsterdon

Biblical quote over mushroom cloud footage is some good opening vibes.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

"and a FURIOUS ANGER on those who would poison and destroy my brothers..."

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Bible jump scare. Thanks, #Monsterdon

Wait is this live action Akira?
#monsterdon

In case you don't have the subtitles on, this is God talking.

#monsterdon

Well that was a short film. I hope no one was too attached to the people on the ground.

#Monsterdon 📅 ⏩ ⚛️ 💣 💥 🧟 🧟‍♀️ 🧌 😱

we go hard from the beginning i guess

Fastest time to mushroom cloud

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

War. War never changes.

#monsterdon

(hits cloud)

(thwack)

that was a hard cloud, Ed

#Monsterdon

Government test footage. Check.
#monsterdon

So apparently this is a remake of a Roger Corman film. Hm...

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

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!

#monsterdon #gappa

"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.

#monsterdon

@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! 🙏

#Monsterdon

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, they’re not even heckle-able.

@AnarchoNeighbor @LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne U.S. politics really is a dull plot.

#monsterdon

Ahhhhnd I'm out

#Monsterdon

Wait, is this a level from a Tomb Raider game?

#Monsterdon

@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

#Monsterdon

I will say this, the utter stupidity of #InTheYear2889 is exactly the kind of mental reset I needed today

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie A little rain will fix you right up! #monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

The volcanic bombs make this an even more thrilling vacation spot!

#Monsterdon #Gappa

@AnarchoNeighbor @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne 😆 #Monsterdon

Ahhm, the shitass incandescent flashlights

#Monsterdon

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 really… something. I’m noticing a trend lately with #monsterdon that every week seems to outdo the last in terms of “yep, worst. movie. ever.” but hey, we signed up for this 🤣

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

#monsterdon

@apLundell They could've called it "Three Weeks Later."

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

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!

#Monsterdon

It's like this guy's never even seen Jurassic Park...

#Monsterdon

After that last one the color on this looks *amazing*

#Monsterdon

Playmate, Inc? Is this safe for work?

#Monsterdon #Gappa

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

🦖#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!

❤️ 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!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Dancing" because that was a real weird scene.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

I wish we'd watched this version instead. https://tubitv.com/movies/493011/the-day-the-world-ended

#monsterdon
#intheyear2889

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

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889 #MonsterdonBingo

@davesdogmaggie Godmonster was goddamn cinema next to this
