oh I see, they were Plot Rocks to bury the evidence and create dramatic irony #monsterdon

"...some kind of a ship"
"a what?"
"a ship, like a huge ball"
"this is no time for telescope jokes!"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

a LOT of shots with 3-D in mind #monsterdon

I seriously want her coat.
#Monsterdon

Approaches the door. Door closes. Please do not the spaceship.

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

And he was crushed to death in the rockslide caused by the alien spaceship taking off and leaving Earth forever, the end. #monsterdon

NOOO I DO NOT CRAVE THIS MINERALLLLLLLLLLLL

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

the 1950s Americans are confused and frightened because they've never seen a soccer ball before #monsterdon

🎬 CULTURAL INFLUENCE 🎬

Lyrics from Rocky Horror Picture Show's song "Science Fiction Double Feature":

Then at a deadly pace / It came from Outer Space / And this is how the message ran.

#ItCameFromOuterSpace
#Monsterdon 🦖

He's being watched by a softboiled egg. #Monsterdon

So that's where I left my beach ball and glitter bomb. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Hey, it's Mothra's egg! Hi Mothra! :D #Monsterdon

Pete knows the rules, the first person to find the monster always dies
#monsterdon

#monsterdon I like Pete, flys a helipcopter probably named "Shitty Shitty BangBang" and is going to stay _right__here_

giant smoking hole in the ground: smokes

Ellen: IT'S BEAUTIFUL

They thought differently in the 50s I guess

#monsterdon

It was 1953. Everybody had a friend with a helicopter. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Sir, the proper expression is "holy cats!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon do they have a convertible helicopter?

*hums the MASH theme* #Monsterdon

the rule for #monsterdon movies is the monster either shows up in the first ten minutes or not until the last fifteen

there's nothing in between

ALIEN POOPS GLITTER! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Wait, what happened to that rabbit?
Did it suddenly get all like the Predator?

#monsterdon

Night day crop dusting
#monsterdon

That coyote is scarred of bunnies

#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace

Arakkis. Desert planet.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Looks like someone's been hanging out at the stripper bar lately. #Monsterdon

and we got us a monster

six minutes in

#monsterdon

The theremin indicates we're in fish-o-vision.

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

👀 Monster sighting in first minutes of movie!!!!!

#ItCameFromOuterSpace
#Monsterdon 🦖

He's got one big eye and entire orchestra behind him. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

now that's a fine-looking IT! #monsterdon

Our monster this evening is... a glowing orb?

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I spy with my hexagonal eye

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I think he might have had to refocus the telescope a bit, to go from looking at stars to looking at the spaceship that crashed across a canyon or whatever

#Monsterdon

I was wondering what she saw in him, but then I saw the size of his telescope. #Monsterdon

behold…space hexagon! #monsterdon

y'know actuall ynice forced perspective, the inside of that thing looks fucken HUGE

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@allanb that makes three! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

It's thinking "I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque"#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

oh nice, it's a scope with terrestrial optics…

…why does it have terrestrial optics :blobfoxdeadinside:

#Monsterdon

"i don't know" would have sufficed

#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai do not leave a telescope pointed at the day for night #Monsterdon

Okay, that explosion was pretty damn good actually.

#Monsterdon

Well, that's gonna leave a mark!

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I'm pretty sure that the telescope is a prop based off of an actual Cave or Dynamax or something.
#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

WAAAAAIT..... IS THIS A KISSING MOVIE?

#monsterdon

Midnight coffee #monsterdon

oh i see, she likes him for his big telescope #monsterdon

"I can't wait until we get married and I can hate you out loud"
#monsterdon

every woman in the 50s wore the exact same dress

#monsterdon

So when do these two start bitching about The Beav? #Monsterdon

why the fuck is the opening helicopter shot of the town out of focus? You guys know how cameras work, right? You spent all this money to put a camera on a plane right? #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

I have money! Don't you see this pipe and my picture window?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Colorized? #monsterdon

Oooh very strong start with the title card

#Monsterdon

if this had been in 3D i would have ducked #monsterdon

"...this is Sand Rock, Arizona. We can tell because there are so many rocks."

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Loving the 3d Sphere to the face!

#monsterdon

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO #Monsterdon

Put on your 3D glasses now: We got movie sign!!! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@Taweret@octodon.social #monsterdon. Yeah. In his conversation with the alien leader it sounded like the repairs would take longer than they did so maybe he didn’t realize that

@SnoopJ it could have been lobbed over from Atlantis! #Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@RobynGoodfellow @CactuarJoe @Zerofactorial Alien 1: HOW DID YOU GET THIS WRONG?

Alien 2: WHAT KIND OF FUCKING HOME DEPOT IN THE US CARRIES METRIC?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@RobynGoodfellow @CactuarJoe @Zerofactorial and exactly how did they get metric in a desert home depot in the US in 1953. i mean. that takes some work. they must be _so_ mad.

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

i had to look up the company that did the colourization on the tubi version. their website is confusing but i found this brochure (PDF). the brochure is also a mess but at least it's all in one file: https://thelastpicture.show/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/RINNUVA-STILIZA_Movie-TV_Project-Static-Images-10-27-2022.pdf

#monsterdon

This is the perfect synopsis. Humans basically didn’t do anything but argue. #monsterdon

@kcarr2015 @allanb Was that the high point of the film? I'm asking, not proposing #monsterdon

I feel the aliens could have been really menacing if only they'd put in a bit more practice with the hand-held deathray #monsterdon

@apLundell They intended to do that. Honest #monsterdon

🎬 Great movie! Suspense! Horror! Giant alien eyeball!

Again, thank you @Taweret for hosting this event! As we have hoped, your acceptance of our behavior defies boundaries of good taste and decorum.

And to the Real Time Film Analysts, you clearly kept an eye out for every detail, in our little bubble of reality. Great job!

#ItCameFromOuterSpace 🌌
#Monsterdon 🦖

always pleased when i get to check off a movie that was mentioned in Science Fiction/Double Feature. looks like i have four left.

night everyone! wow what a difference a tiny bit of budget can make #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Wait was he? I was in and out a lot so if he was I missed it

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Wait—that was Russell Johnson, the professor from Gilligan's Island! I knew he looked familiar.
#Monsterdon

Even if he didn't get credit, this one really did benefit from Ray Bradbury's dialogue. It's not necessarily super naturalistic but it is enjoyable.

(EDIT: apparently he did and I missed that because of being in the kitchen.)

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Huh.

The aliens' actions were completely stupid.

But maybe we shouldn't expect better from a people who spent a thousand years building a space-ship and then immediately crashed it.

#monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting :)

#monsterdon

"It wasn't the right time for us to meet" as the strings swell.. the sequel was gonna be a romcom.

#monsterdon

These aliens crashed into the Earth with enormous speed, and a little mine collapse is going to stop them? I don't think that works #monsterdon

@TrishEM Casey Kasum? #monsterdon

@gnomon @k8eb @Taweret

"nothing fucked off into the sea"

well, they *did* kind of fuck off into the sky.

#monsterdon

This movies working title was "Fahrenheit 92".

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

good job team, sad I was in the bloody kitchen for most of it

bagels are pretty good tho but still

thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

They came and they went to outer space #monsterdon

@TrishEM So the aliens FOIT Sky ... for now ... and last line, "THEY'LL BE BACK" like Ahnuld in T2! #Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Oh it's over.
And all the rest~~
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Well that was refreshingly competently put together even if in the end nothing really happened. Thanks again everyone for a fun watch and thanks to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"The professor and, mary ann, here on Gilligan's isle!" #monsterdon

Did this mining device inspire Elon Musk's Boring Company? #monsterdon

@Taweret Right? I was just saying if they crashed like, 60 or 70 miles further away there would be no movie. They've have fixed their shit and f**ked off. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

If you're reading this, you're at the tail end of a long stream of posts on the feed about #Monsterdon, a fediverse community movie event. See the post at the top of this thread for more info.

Lol #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Kathleen Hughes got like 30 seconds of screen time and 3 lines and she gets a featured fucking credit? WTF.

#monsterdon

Thanks again to @Taweret and all the great viewers like you who make this event come alive! What an actually decent film and a fun time.

Fuck monetisation, let's just keep having fun.

#monsterdon

@moira Always is TBH

#Monsterdon

So strangers come in, do nothing, get argued with, and then leave with nothing resolved. This wasn't a movie, it was a zoning meeting. #Monsterdon

"How can I trust you?"

"You can always destroy us with that." [Points at unstoppable super-weapon]

Oh yeah! We did build an unstoppable super-weapon. I completely forgot.

#monsterdon

That was actually pretty okay for a bad classic.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

Whoa such elaborate credits

#Monsterdon

"We gotta keep that pussy away from them!"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

That whirly pointy thing belongs on a spaceship in Mechagodzilla #monsterdon
