@skatem #Monsterdon

If only the abrupt ending had come 45 minutes ago....

Maybe it's a failed pilot for a TV show, not just a failed movie.
Anyway, thanks @Taweret for hosting :D #monsterdon

And the movie fucks off into the beginning with gunfire that feels cut off

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

I do not believe we should have watched that

#Monsterdon

ugh

#monsterdon

Yes yes, the Impure can't exist alongside The Chosen Pure Ones blah blah don't mix genes, d- HEY WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE END??? #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe what a world

#monsterdon

Oh grandpa, better put the safety on before you tuck the gun in down there :x #Monsterdon

The, uh, monster. He's like if a butler was a rubber mask. #Monsterdon

There's probably an Internet Libertarian out there who has a blog that puts "In the Year 2889" on an online list of movies with important political themes.

@jivens It's more coherent than some things we've watched, but the bar's down around the mohorovic discontinuity

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

He's CROUCHING IN PLAIN SIGHT #Monsterdon

"Let's go take a moonlight swim" and get EATEN BY CREATURES

PLEASE

#Monsterdon

Not any more 😳

And there goes the jug, the precious jug

#Monsterdon

The mutant in the bushes is Larry, isn't it

#Monsterdon

There’s something in the fog

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

@bstacey the best mixing that no money can buy

#Monsterdon

OK movie, did you leave the audio in your other pants?

#Monsterdon

@Configures Everybody cut FOOTLOOSE!

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

He is most definitely NOT hot

#Monsterdon

"I had no idea he was an alcoholic"

you're a terrible judge of character

#Monsterdon

"This is where I start to peel!"

If her skin came off, and she started eating people, that would be great.

#Monsterdon

I think I'm only picking up on 75% of the eugenics subtext of this movie, and am possibly missing some side story where the low-born poor people lack virtue and so will doom their social betters or something.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

I'm starting to peel, too. Like a sunburn. #Monsterdon

Gettin' sauced and procreatin' is in the bible too...ask Lot.

As a non-drinker, this is how irritating drunks are...

I've got stage 4 monsterosis, Doc.

#Monsterdon

The re-recording is terrible and apparently they couldn't afford a foley artist. The scenes are strangely silent except for background music and the re-recorded voices.

#Monsterdon

okay I guess the implication here is that he's *fabricating* a key by whittling

despite the key he held up clearly being metallic

whatever.

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ

At least it's not Communion-long

#Monsterdon

Not if you were the last Steve on Earth

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

the score being mixed so low this entire time is cracking me up

budget on this thing was probably like $15 and free sandwiches.

#Monsterdon

"You've given me care about mankind. That is: RACISM" #Monsterdon

"Steve....you're like the son I never had, ...do you want to see my drawings of mutant rats?"

#Monsterdon

Wait, how much whisky did the rancher bring? Is he traveling back and forth from his place?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

let Mickey be the first to be eaten by mutant fiancée

#Monsterdon

"Steve, do you believe in mental telepathy?"

Steve rolls his eyes at where this date is going

#Monsterdon

Steve sits like he's posing for a catalogue

#Monsterdon

lol *gratuitous bikini scene

#Monsterdon

Baths are keeping them alive? Huh?
#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Chekhov's biblical flood

#Monsterdon

I wonder what the moist bones are doing right now

#Monsterdon

Yeah, the Bible never turned no one into a monster. Not once

#Monsterdon

"He's a mutation, a freak of the new atomic world!" That's quite a leap from "not observed eating" and "spending nights outdoors"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon For all their preparedness, they sure aren't worried about not breathing any fallout.

Jeez it's days after the nukes and they're already into full on mutant mode.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Steve, have you noticed your brother has become a monster?

YIKES!!

Not squorl

#Monsterdon

Quick, Drunkman! Use your alcoholic bolos to defeat the monster!

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow SAME #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

RUN, KING ARTHUR SHAPESHIFTED INTO A SQUIRREL, THEY'RE SHOOTING DAY FOR NIGHT! #Monsterdon

MONSTER!

#monsterdon

we're still in the "atomic radiation is magic" era of movie science

#Monsterdon

Oh no I have a premonition that this is going to be one of those #monsterdon movies where there are a whole bunch of characters and all of them suck and we're supposed to care about the hyper-specific drama between them, oh no.

#InTheYear2889

I… I don't like any of these people.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

"She's a SLUT, I'm a WASTREL, we were BUILT IN A LAB TO ANNOY YOU"

#Monsterdon

I’m sure it’s fine that the heavily irradiated guy wants raw meat and hates water. #Monsterdon

@LingLass #Monsterdon

ikr too bad they couldn't get Ray Milland...

Oh, you built a model.

So you're insane

#Monsterdon

Grandpa's got two lines. #Monsterdon

Then a guy with radiation burns crashes in the doors and the old guy is like "don't touch him he has the radiation" but they're amazed that he's still alive and then an Elvis impersonator shows up and says the burn guy is his brother.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

This man's optimism is admirable.

Night of the Living Houseguests

Offensive pantsuit patterns of the post apocalypse!

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

The whole movie is just people coming in that he doesn't have provisions for.
#monsterdon

So is this like the ONLY house up here or...? #Monsterdon

Waiting For Goo-dot

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

I think the Dad wanted this apocalypse...

#Monsterdon

the radiation is measured in wrenchin's

#Monsterdon

There’s a curtain, did you consider looking through the door before opening it? #Monsterdon

GHOUL, CALLED IT

#monsterdon

Oh, months. Yeah, that'll be enough to wait out the nuclear apocalypse. #Monsterdon

I can face the apocalypse as long as I’ve got my shawl-collared cardigan.#Monsterdon

I would say this movie is fuzzy AF, but then again this was made for NTSC TV.
#monsterdon

Nuclear war is "a thief in the night", is it, voiceover? You do you, I guess.

#Monsterdon

I guess I'll play #MonsterdonBingo. How bad can it be?

#Monsterdon

"Will you find me a new Mom? How about you marry the help, like on The Nanny?"

Secret monster door! Mom & Dad monster!

Is that the moral of this, that a baby (girl or monster) needs parents?

UGH, now it's doing day-for-night, too. I hate this. Just make everything be in day.

Toy submarine sighted! Water doesn't behave right at that scale.

#monsterdon #gappa

"Maybe it's a mistake to take the baby away from the island"

It would be a lot shorter movie if they listened to you

anyway, time for bed

#Monsterdon

"Gappa Angry"

I hear ya Gappa, plenty to be angry about...

#Monsterdon

lol, earthquakes, volcanoes, creatures from the age of the Dinosaurs and there are already people here....but sure, build your resort on this island, the banks will love to give you the money for it.

#Monsterdon

@trixter @lalah
The alleged answer is on the movie's Wikipedia page, but the real answer is, "Who cares?"

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

this is a less threatening romance than the previous movie...

#Monsterdon

@diazona I figured with the Paciffic, if the Europeans hadn't done something horrible to them then the Japanese would. You can see why Islands need Monsters to protect them!

#Monsterdon

@diazona @TerryHancock #Monsterdon #WrongYear

idk... democracy has this way of being perpetually disappointing...

@diazona #Monsterdon #WrongYear

I wish ALL of the previous movie had been silent.

the main advantage of tonight's #monsterdon has been that now the next movie everyone sees is bound to be better.

#InTheYear2889

there is a tragic subplot of the rancher guy that finally got everything he wanted in the love of the beautiful woman, but his crippling alcoholism sent him back into the fog. completely un-commented on in the text of the movie though, the movie would have otherwise been exactly the same if he was not in it. #monsterdon

The best character was... um... I dunno... the rabbit that one of the mutants ate I guess.

The worst character was John, who was supposed to be the hero/mentor figure I guess but his main hobby was urging the Elvis impersonator to murder. The other characters were also bad.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

I blame Joanna for this whole fiasco. Prepper Dad had it all worked out. But that wasn't good enough for Joanna.

#Monsterdon

RE: https://retro.pizza/@xerozohar/116751729771946759

Better still!

FROGS WAS BETTER THAN THIS, which is a sentence I never wanted to say
