Where I will live
fake ass beard on a fake ass old man is an excellent start #monsterdon

Access to the center of the earth is in a giant bank of lime sherbet? o.O
Again: NOT THE EARTH
I like that we got a little setup like "no see this is a good story, everyone says so, and there have been lots of adaptations so we're not weird for turning it into a movie, we're not in trial here"
"I wuv u Daddy Millies" okay nerd whatever just show me the lizard costumes #monsterdon
Oh. It’s in color. #Monsterdon
a movie this fabulous had better be some goddamn _fabulous_ and i do not think we're going to get that
... and there's a "history of" newsreel stuck on the front of the film.
@blue yeah that's what i'm watching #monsterdon
@srol yep that's the one... At least that's what I'm watching
Joining in for #monsterdon

@blue got it too #Monsterdon
seeing all y'all get punked by the 1 minute intro scene while meanwhile i am over here in the technicolor tinted ocean intro montage #monsterdon
No one said the journey was going to be _FABULOUS_!
Looooove the little intro bit! #monsterdon
The FABULOUS!!! journey!
If we don't see feather boas and tiaras, I call bullshit on the fabulous part.
Did they have to put this intro in to explain why the movie is going to be so fucking corny
"The movie you are about to see is a tribute to these pioneers of science fiction"
That was an opening. #Monsterdon
Augh jeez, I'm bein' beaten up by a timpani! #Monsterdon
Sun's got a pretty rockin' beat. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth #WhereTimeBegan

Never show clips of a better movie before your crappy movie. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth #WhereTimeBegan
Since the earliest days of cinema, Jules Verne's works have been butchered-- I mean adapted... #Monsterdon
aaand we have ye olde timey Jules Verne intro. guess i could've started 60 seconds ago. #monsterdon
ok the movie is starting but if this is boring i am leaving to go talk to my #mom some more #monsterdon
Whoops accidentally went back to the dawn of cinema. Instead of 1977 the year half of the bad sci-fi movies of all time came out.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan
Going WAAAAY back for the stock footage this time. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth #WhereTimeBegan
#Monsterdon Go.
This has the feeling of a documentary already!
#monsterdon
#monsterdon NOW
WE GOT MUTTON-CHOP SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN
It's time to follow in the footsteps of Arne Saknussemm! Well, maybe ... I don't know if this version mentions him or not, having never seen it.
Onward, explorers! Press play now!
(I'll be posting as replies to that root post I just boosted)
And the race to the center of the Earth begins... Now. #Monsterdon

Not shown in this movie: the scientists with the alternate theory about how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of <strike>a Tootsie Pop</strike> the earth.
Okay, let's get started. Will just have to take a quick break when my dumplings get here. #Monsterdon
