#Monsterdon Shifting to YET ANOTHER SCENE we are introduced to new characters, Rock Lady and Bellhop Twink. Rock Lady is admiring her rocks, which I think Bellhop Twink knocks on the floor somehow; I'm not sure what happened because I was shitposting while watching. Anyway, Bellhop Twink is a nationalist who thinks war is fun, while Rock Lady thinks war is bad and boys are dumb for liking it.
@BsCreativeLife oh it's THAT sort of spelunking #monsterdon
Welp. They missed Durin's Day. #Monsterdon
Ugh, this guy has a definite young Tucker Carlson vibe. #Monsterdon
Three grown adults not realizing letters are backwards until they accidentally see them in the mirror, great
that one guy with the mutton chops is jinglish, half of the cast isn't. the housekeeper certainly isn't. the girl seems to be but not the young guy. am so not paying attention to this plot, LOL
All the best stories start with mysterious maps.
@diazona it was made in the 70s so most of them are probably dead. "G'night kids!"
#monsterdon This is good so far
Aaaa! mixed metric/imperial units!
Nowadays we know the core of the Earth is composed of fluffy marzipan #monsterdon
Arrogant british man with a conspiracy theory enters the chat
"Now look here, I found a book..."
These bitchy old men are great, more films should just have a bunch of olds tearing into each other. #Monsterdon
Every scifi movie should start by reminding us that Méliès's "Trip to the Moon" was the first sci-fi.
Just in case we forget. #monsterdon
Why's this feel like the false opening of a Monty Python episode? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Love a dramatic drum opener, great way to pep up the audience and make sure we're all awake before...
...did that just say "colaboration" [sic]? Hoooo boy
@ottaross As it was written, so shall it be #monsterdon
@Lazarou Maybe they were just other people cosplaying as Olsen #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Weren't they supposed to travel to the center of the Earth which is 6000 km from the surface?
I doubt they travelled more than 2 km down. π€
OMFG. I miss #Monsterdon ONE TIME and Roger Corman dies.
@blogdiva What is the name of the one dude in the #Monsterdon movie who had time clones of himself and then exploded?
@Taweret maybe the geologist's kids rescue the time travelling jackass? or maybe one of them _is_ the time-travelling jackass
@loren Oh no, it's not over. Those eyes, those eyes, they will never be finished peeling back the layers of layers of illusion you present to the world, seeing the true you, and judging you. It will never end, never
Olsen looks like William Fichtner
So, if I understand the time-paradox in tonight's #monsterdon correctly...
Orsen was the one who originally gave them the coded map to secretly nudge them into going on the expedition.
I like that he made his secret language just mirror writing. He knew that was the most "coded" language they could handle.
wait it's like over?? what?
That was... Half a boring movie half a mess of random stuff happening with minor monster cameos. Not bad bad, but it could have used a plot and like more Kong stuff.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan
@lytta yeah i was thinking they're all little time loop selves, some rick and morty shit without the morty or the humour
They aren't biological clones, they're time clones. He's either doing short loops through time for work efficiency, or he's making some sort of time paradox clones. Or he made them by accident trying to get 'home' to his time. #monsterdon
Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social #monsterdon
Comparing the Wells adaption to the Verne adaption, I have to give the edge to Wells.
But my sample space is 2, so more research is necessary.
@srol One of the great timeless archetypal plots
@blogdiva The mushrooms they feed the pigs gives it piquancy #monsterdon
That movie was extremely terrible, not worth the $2 to rent, BUT definitely worth that to spend it heckling with #monsterdon
oh wow i've actually seen a couple of movies from this director before! PIECES (1982) and THE RIFT (1990) #monsterdon
So it took them ~a week to get to the underground sea, and 15 minutes of running upwards(?) to get back out to surface level?
Glad to see that the underground Olsen clone alien factory played just as much of an important role as the "station's bomb room" did in Project Moonbase.
@Zerofactorial SPAM. As in HAM FROM THE FUTURE.
Well, that wasβ¦ fun? Yeah, Iβm gonna say fun. Time to fuck off into the subterranean sea with some surprisingly territorial dinosaur friends. Goodnight, #monsterdon!
And inside the metal box: a half pound of ham #monsterdon
Hans running with that sheep like it's a rifle.
Well, these eyes will be staring into my soul for the rest of the evening, thanks!
@ottaross At least there is a wrap up this time....
Well, points for the surprise time travel, always a treat.
It was certainly one of the "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" adaptations of all time.
Thanks @Taweret as always for hosting!
that truly was the Journey to the Center of the Earth of all times
that is a new one. Black screen end credits without credits #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π βοΈ π±
The actor who played Hans has also won my heart for being Best At Running Away and Falling Over While Carrying Your Lamb Safely
CINEMA #monsterdon
@JoeWynne The sea fucked them off into sheep land #monsterdon
That box contains Orson's spare head, doesn't it?
Okay well none of that made any goddamn sense at all, but it did look pretty. #Monsterdon
ποΈ π¦Ah, the "final surprise" ending. Better than effing off into the sea, I guess. Maybe he plans to eff off into a cave.
Journey to the Center of the Stock Footage
Where would society allow unattended kids to hang out near erupting volcanoes... we've made it to New Hampshire! #monsterdon
bye cave guy, hope you have a nice life in the cave
It's a teapot TARDIS!
yay! a happy ending for Hans! the only one we actually care about! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon They've spent more time on lava than on the plot.
Hans and the baby sheep is absolutely 100% definitely the one thing that happened in this movie, let's pretend the rest of it just didn't happen okay?
And the pyroclastic flow takes them all out. Good night!
It's windy out by the volcano stock footage today #Monsterdon
Did the plot start yet? I think I missed it. #monsterdon

"AND TO END WITH, SOME NICE VIDEO OF VOLCANOS"
Awe, Hans got a cuddle in. How nice to de-stress a bit.
@floatybirb I told you it was Chekov's Gun Shop, didn't I? #monsterdon
@RamenCatholic big mistake #monsterdon
Lmao he kept 4 other people alive in the underground sea, but Hans sees a lamb and immediately crumbles due to sheep-related trauma
#Monsterdon Having opened the rock wall, the raft floats through it like on one of those theme park water rides you get on in order to be jostled about a bit and splashed with water. I always liked those rides.
Anyway, the water level starts rising, pushing the raft and its four original passengers to another poison gas realm, where they run through a cave full of explosions. Fortunately they still have the gas masks.
SHEEP OF THE UNDERWORLD!
The gas masks survived???? #Monsterdon
Is the little boy Hans? Are we in the past? Are they going to somehow cause the sheep-ending lightning strike?
#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan
Don't you know a native esperanto speaker when you see one? "Kie mi estas?" #Monsterdon
@moira Glaubenβs german was also not very good #Monsterdon
#monsterdon lol as soon as he said he didn't see anything strange a bomb goes off.
Wait the professor has a pocketwatch after all, where was that earlier?!
Awww, Hans cuddling a lamb. #Monsterdon
Hans only cares for Hans.....and that one lamb
they should be dead by now, just from the fumes. but just like in Lord Of The Rings, nadita de nada.
are we in the future now? is that gonna be the thing?
This is just what happens when you confront the Nether Brain without all the Netherstones. #Monsterdon #BG3
#Monsterdon i think my biggest mistake is watching this while sober.
This cast sure spent a lot of time wet. Must have finished the shoot with a rather wrinkly complexion.
Well, at least we held on to the gas masks through all this.
I do not remember any of this time travel discourse being in the book. π§
@ricci I think the script was the real monster in this one
#monsterdon THIS IS MADNESS
Huh, I guess it was an elevator.
"It happens. Some times people just explode." #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth
uh, did he just NUKE the wall? amazing. #monsterdon
wait, Orson is going to blow himself up because the professor picked a random wall he'd like to walk through?
I don't understand.
...Wait is Olsen gonna suicide bomb the WALL? #Monsterdon
Yes, yes, last time you hit rocks with a pick that went well, very good, Uncle Otto
What?
#monsterdon
Has he considered shooting the wall? #monsterdon
didn't you learn your lesson the last time you tried to pickaxe a wall? this surely won't end well #monsterdon
"Look dinosaurs!"
Dimetrodons and unidentifiable lizards... *sigh*
