Post-apoc planning, including the girl here, did not apparently account for giving her some damn pants and proper shoes.

#monsterdon A funny feeling in my lady parts. I'll go fetch the coffee.

"Logically he should have been dead"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I feel like if I turned into a monster, it would take me a while to realize that I was craving raw meat.

I mean, I don't normally eat raw meat, so I'd probably misinterpret the cravings as cravings for a pizza or something.

I'm super baked but I want to hear the true account of those tests from gramps. #monsterdon

@jsadow normally depends on the key and if you have synesthesia or not.

In this #monsterdon though, it's a red flag because everyone in this movie is sus.

#InTheYear2889

oho so maybe the dad *did* cause the nuclear apocalypse! that was part of his 10 years of planning!

#monsterdon

Not since gif vs jif have I been so sure something was supposed to be pronounced with a hard G. #Monsterdon

the subtitles on the youtube copy i'm watching don't appear to be auto-generated, but they're also not word-for-word accurate. it's like they were translated from subtitles from another language

#monsterdon

mutant fioncee is on his way....

#Monsterdon

Yeah, you look like you're sorry. #Monsterdon

80 mins of this... #monsterdon

hue hue hue misogyny

Aren’t you a little *clumsy* for a dancer?

#InTheYear2889

all the men here are creeps...

#Monsterdon

I'm sorry he wants steak tartar? #Monsterdon #InTheYear2889 🎥🧻

Movie is certainly following the tropes at least.

#monsterdon

dad is (cooked)
#Monsterdon

Kill the old dude and establish a collective

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in the radiation and sunsoaked woods, a Chunky Country Boy appears, and like all Chunky Country Boys he wears a giant hat and carries a ceramic jug of moonshine around. He spies on the plantation bunker house where a lady is showering or something and then gets tackled by one of the random young male characters. He explains he's a ranger and just wanted to see if the house was occupied and wasn't peeping honest.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

i was not prepared for PREPPER DIORAMA. this is even better than an informative slideshow or filmstrip #monsterdon

Sure, nothing says safe long-term like geological activity.

#Monsterdon

actual lols as he brings out the model he prepared for guests...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Guy tried to break in with a gun, dad shoots the floor as a warning

"FATHER STOP"

drunk donkey-man wanders in from the mountains, dad goes to tell him to fuck off

"FATHER STOP" /sprays dad with a squirt bottle

nukular zombies start eating the inhabitants, dad goes out with a 30.06

"FATHER" /goes running after with a rolled up newspaper

NOBODY MAY STAY!! 😠

#Monsterdon

Uninvited guests are now inviting additional uninvited guests

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

Kind of seems like everyone survived, maybe

#Monsterdon

We learn the young girl is engaged to someone named "Larry" and I guess the old guy is her dad or something and a doomsday prepper who has stockpiled supplies in his house, and the girl is sad that Larry didn't come to hang out in their doomsday prepper plantation house

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Day posing as night

#Monsterdon

"This is not how i planned it"

told you he was a prepper

#Monsterdon

This gun is loaded and I'll waste ammunition to prove it.

It's Steve Marlin everyone!

That's not what radiation does, I've seen Chernobyl, where's the sloughing!

#Monsterdon

yes, yes, you were right. You are very smart. Now please shut up about it.

I recognise each one of those atomic exploisions....

#Monsterdon

burn burn burn!!!

#monsterdon

Pfft. This noise ain't THAT great. #Monsterdon

Ok, I'm a little nervous and regretful that I didn't watch a trailer for this before voting, but here we are.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Reading #Monsterdon posts in my feed without watching the movie feels like chugging LLM output straight from the fire hose. Absolute madness!

Yes, torture the baby monster, that'll make it love you.

LOL "English" almost managed.

Attention giant monsters, please file a flight plan and install proper tail lights.

#monsterdon #gappa

What is the tariff charge on importing a kaiju like these days?
#Monsterdon #Gappa #TheTriphibianMonster

"Hey, Kool-Aid Gappa!"

"OH YEAH!!!"

#Monsterdon #WrongYear

"It looks like a monster, but is really cute"

#Monsterdon

Gappa's parents should not have gone out to a dinner party, leaving the egg unattended

#Monsterdon

Oh my, is that guy in the rubber suit, 'Gappa?'

#Monsterdon

@RachelThornSub

@Taweret maintains a list

#Monsterdon

NOT A MOAI! That is just some off brand ancestoral god.

@ottaross “It’s probably Larry!”

“Wait! Don’t open the door! We don’t know who it is!”

You’re standing right next to the doors, and they’re french doors with glass panes and lightweight curtains. If the person on the other side wants to get in, they will.

#Monsterdon

..and it wasn't even set in the 29th century, how dare you .....

#Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag

I'm trying to read it (as charitably as I can) as a biblical allegory (or is it a parable...I can never keep them straight ✌️🤣

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📅 ⏩ ⚛️ 💣 💥 🧟 🧟‍♀️ 🧌 😱 viewing of 'In the Year 2889' (1969)

Thanks, @Taweret and company. I now know that I can survive apocalyptic movies that involve rain and a complete lack of budget, direction, sound, lighting, acting, decent dialog, plot, etc.

@SocialCommentaryBot 7 breeding pairs... #Monsterdon

Ooh, the secret sauce is SEXISM. That's a new one! #monsterdon

already a better model than the previous movie

#Monsterdon

@diazona LOL!! Ok. #Monsterdon

ugh... I'm SO sleepy from the previous movie.... I'm not sure I can make it....

#Monsterdon #WrongYear

So he wants Steve to shoot his daughter, to save her from "a fate worse than death"? Did he ever ask if that's what she wants? All the men in this movie are the worst

#Monsterdon

In the Year 2889! Mankind learns to scamper off before I can say something scathing. Thanks as always to @Taweret for renting grandma's house for an apocalyptic showing, and special thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for all the canned beef.

...I'm gonna go get higher than a silk hat on Sunday. 🫩

@combatwombat @Taweret Nah, that's Planet Earth. Which was only bad because Gene Roddenberry couldn't stop being weird about gender

#Monsterdon

Anyway that movie fucked right off into the pure rainwater sea or some shit.

thanks @Taweret for hosting, the mirucast for saving me some effort, and everyone else for being cool cats who don't afraid of anything. Cheers! #monsterdon

For reasons that are stupid, the mutant who kidnapped the daughter was her fiance, Larry. And he died because the water killed him because he was a witch now.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

In the beginning, God watched this movie and got so bored He decided to create the heavens and earth as a respite

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now onward to some desperately needed "old-school kaiju healing" with the double feature....

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

wait the old guy just went back to sleep after his daughter, his only family, disappeared and was heard screaming in the woods?

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Well... I suppose the real bomb was the film they made along the way?

I did have fun riffing along with everyone. Thank you for hosting, as always, @Taweret. Have a great week everyone!

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Again: Z for Zachariah.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

It's not often that I think "I be the Roger Corman version is better."

#monsterdon
#intheyear2889

Thannks for the reason to watch #monsterdon pals. I'm not sure what #mondayactionmovie has tomorrow but it can't be worse than that. Take care. See ya soon.

#monsterdon Thing is, it could have been good. You could make a really good low budget film about people in country home, surviving after the nukes fall.

Probably someone has made a good version of this story, but it wasn't this one.

@CactuarJoe was it even and ending?! #Monsterdon

Back in the plantation, John asks the creepy guy threatening him with a gun to measure the rain water outside to see how radioactive it is, and he obeys for some reason. We learn that the rain water has no radioactivity and I guess that's why the mutant is afraid of water, and then it rains and I guess the mutant dies.

Then Mr Creeper announces that he will then kill Elvis and claim the one surviving girl for himself.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

#monsterdon The best thing I cam give this movie, is that it has an end.

Um my copy just stopped after the gunshots.

Was that the end of the movie..?
#Monsterdon

that was very poor, on every level

#Monsterdon

that was one of the most compressed wrap ups we have ever seen in #monsterdon. that was maybe a 10 minute conclusion done in 30 seconds #monsterdon

She would look cute with a pixie cut

#Monsterdon

holy CRAP that was an adventure folks.

Thank you for helping me keep my sanity during this OUTRAGE to 16mm film. :blobheartcat:

Please thank @Taweret on your way out for running our weekly event!

Also special thanks to @JoeWynne for the trivia, @cherizilla for the bingo, and @ryan for the stream!

Catch y'all next week - and remember, it can only get better from here!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, that was absolutely terrible.

Wait ... what ... that's it?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Hope they don't get trench foot.

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889 🎥🧻

@otheorange_tag I know who this is by the GIF. Don't need to see the name #monsterdon

hey gramps we figured that out an hour ago

#monsterdon

Raining again tonight. Raining a lot lately. Like Heaven is trying hard to wash away all of New York's sins. Waste of time. Steel wool couldn't scour clean this city's soul.

#monsterdon #InTheYear2889

@CactuarJoe look igor fell on hard times

#monsterdon

so much for the fancy nazi gun

#Monsterdon

My wife hates female characters who faint at the sight of peril and she is right to do that

#Monsterdon

FALLOUT: NIGHT FILTER

#monsterdon

Is Larry the monkey?

#monsterdon
#InTheYear2889

And we're going into the final bloodbath, hurrah!

Hopefully, everybody kills everybody. #monsterdon #intheyear2889

#monsterdon So why the weird gun?

Did the director just have one and thought it was really cool?

Yup, just taking my girl for a walk in the night air. Limp as a biscuit. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe nuclear vampires, man

#monsterdon

"Use that Luger on Joanna!"

Dude, what the fucking fuckity fuck?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

A high capacity magazine?

Sure, what part of "shall not be infringed" did you not get?

#Monsterdon

...why does he have a luger as opposed to eg: an M1 or M3?

Are my wehraboo vibes tingling?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889

Wait! 30 rounds!?

#Monsterdon #InTheYear2889 🎥🧻

"no other way, use the luger on Joanna"
what?
what?!
huh?!!

#monsterdon

@surdfish Are we watching the same movie?! #Monsterdon
