thank you again @Taweret , #monsterdon is always the best way to end the weekend!

The most impressive thing about this film was the number of props they sourced, not just the tortoise shells and mushrooms but all those bones on the ape island too, clearly not matte paintings #monsterdon

#Monsterdon That actually wasn't half bad. Loved the whole clone/time traveller side plot.

#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth #WhereTimeBegan

@kcarr2015 we know they made it over 1.6km because that fake-sky underground ocean had a ceiling > 1 mile up so

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

@Taweret He saw Otto as his best chance at unloading his ratty old books in the past/future so he had to help the dude #monsterdon

@flowerpot @moira

#monsterdon

Was that her voice? I thought that was one of the dubbed actors. I didn't look too carefully though.

Side note, it was pretty nice to have a laptop available during #Monsterdon so I didn't have to post from my phone

Compared to the 1959 (or something around) US version this movie was really ……
🤔
abysmal

yeah

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Underground reply guy gotta have somebody to reply to

"Well actually time ..."

#Monsterdon

Here's the note that dropped out of the book ...

#Monsterdon

@moira Where Spam Began #monsterdon

@loren That just means you have #Monsterdon 'd correctly

#Monsterdon Good Night

🎞️ 🦖Thank you
@Taweret for hosting this journey.

and

@cheribaker for the Bingo card. My favorite tonight was "Stating the Obvious"

and
The Real Time Film Analysis Squad for the commentary

Examples in reply...

yeah i don't know what i just watched but okay!!

#Monsterdon

@forward noo? I'm here for whatever monster or sci-fi movie the #monsterdon crowd picks per week

@deepmud I'm willing to entertain the possibility that it was an error in translation, perhaps #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial for this grade of movie i am going to say yes. definitely yes.

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

@lytta Did anyone actually read the book?

#monsterdon

@moira Is spam made of giant apes? #monsterdon

@flowerpot @jgamble wait something happened in this movie?

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

@jgamble Is the one we watched tonight the Wells adaptation? Because I think I need to watch it again. There was a lot going on in tonight's movie that I think I shall watch it again.
#Monsterdon #journeytothecenteroftheearth

@loren You see when a shepherd really loves one of his sheep...

#Monsterdon

I believe Glauben doesn't exchange dialogue with any other named female character whether in Spanish or in any dubbed version so you know what that means #monsterdon

hello sheeps!!

#Monsterdon

The moral of the story is that a guy who scatters a rock collection all over the floor is not the kind of man you want on your team #monsterdon

wait where did this kid come from??

#Monsterdon

anyway gj everybody thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting... whatever that was xD

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

As usual, if u are seeing this then u will be scrolling into a timeline patch of #monsterdon posts. if you would like to not see them, plz mute the hashtag. https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon

Was the implication that Muttonchops sacrificed the sheep??

#Monsterdon

@paco Cornholio

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

#monsterdon This was fun though. But wow lol

Ordinarily, I like it when a movie doesn't try to answer all the questions & tie it all up w/ a fancy bow, but...

I have questions.

ah well. Thanks everyone for another fun #monsterdon! Thanks @Taweret for hosting! C U next week!

What a ride, not to anywhere, I guess Hans has the best outcome. #Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

/voteban period movies from #monsterdon

@yatsu Oops! All Olsons #Monsterdon

Haha. Good times. Loved the monsters, sets, and sheep loving Hans, who needed a job. Still super confused about the mini clones.

Goodnight, monster people. #Monsterdon

That was fun, I liked that one.

Love a good adventure story.

And this one was sure fast-paced. Don't like the adventure? Wait five minutes and it's something different.

#monsterdon

At least Hans made it out alive. Happy #monsterdon everyone, thanks @Taweret !

IT'S OVER
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

That certainly was an ending

#monsterdon

@loren i had to rewind to see them again! #monsterdon

Oh no he's not going to, is he 😬

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe cuts down on having to pay actors, i guess. #monsterdon

Axel, you're such a tool #monsterdon

@Taweret That's why everyone had to forget the futuristic research station, they came too close to a plot and had to be made to bounce off it

lest there be story

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

Oh the fake old man make up was supposed to be real old man make up and not an obvious shitty disguise? WHAT.
Well atleast the time traveling clone man gave him a ... coffee maker? wtf even was this boring ass movie?
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

@deepmud I know that. And you know that. But I'm not sure the scriptwriters knew that. #Monsterdon #journeytothecenteroftheearth

Makeup artist: Make him look old? So lots of bulging veins around the eyes, right? #Monsterdon

The credits have gone black. No one wants credit for this. Thanks again everyone! Thanks @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

@yatsu It's like all those episodes where the Doctor meets himself except they're all Olson. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Filmed in EastmanColor, EastmanColor: You'll pay for all the colors but really only use the greens and purples for the first reel for some reason.

Turns out the inside of the earth actually contains a lot of molten rock. Who could have guessed? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh NO!

Shouting English louder and louder is a little on the nose for explorers.

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Agreed! The pace was so slow at times but the plot actually did tie together in an interesting way #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe man had one too many regenerations. #monsterdon

An enjoyable time of #Monsterdon

Thank you, @Taweret !
This was a lovely selection. #Monsterdon #journeytothecenteroftheearth

Hans is a cousin fucker? Well he is a simple shepherd.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

Wow. That was bad.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

@yatsu It's definitely not a stable time loop. It's more like a drunken time lord on a unicycle. #Monsterdon

there's no way you''ll show up again in like 10 minutes, that would be preposterous

#Monsterdon

And he was stalked by Olsen for the remainder of his days

#monsterdon

This is where Jules Verne got stuck and just started blowing sh!t up #monsterdon

Hi, I'm Hans from Cousinfucker, Iceland.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Fun fact: In the secret underground city they were working on fake beards. They are not good at their job TBH
#Monsterdon

Arne Sackolsen #Monsterdon

Oooooof that was _bracing_, y'all!

But at least Hans got his sheep. :D

#Monsterdon

@Configures @lytta ohhhhhh that makes so much more sense

#Monsterdon

Olson’s toaster. #Monsterdon

Neat. That was a fun ending. #monsterdon

YOU GAVE THE DIPPY OLD PROFESSOR A POCKET NUKE!?!?! #Monsterdon

There were subterranean clouds in the book, so I'll allow it.

#Monsterdon

Oh no Olsen put Elmer's glue all over his face! Time travel is real!!

#Monsterdon

He gave him an espresso machine. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Run Hans! Run! Save that baby sheep! Out run the volcano! Wait can you outrun a volcano? That ash and gas is gonna smother them.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

TIME PARADOX!

#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

Is there like a Primer chart to explain all the Olsons?
I don’t know what just happened but I think I was entertained.

#Monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

damn Hans really carried this movie (pun very intended). these brits were agonizing to watch #monsterdon

wait. what?

anyway, ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Thank goodness we got an epilogue for bearded train conductor. #Monsterdon

Hans just chillin' with a baby sheep next to a volcanic vent, as one does

#monsterdon

A happy ending for Hans! 🤩 #Monsterdon

Axel: Died In Vietnam #Monsterdon

This sheep kinda look like Hans. Just sayin’. #Monsterdon

although apparently he's dating his cousin. oh well you do you hans #monsterdon

Hanz’ down payment for work rendered has been given. Good. #Monsterdon

Little known fact, this is a prequel to #GodMonsterOfIndianFlats

#Monsterdon

Wow... just.... okay. That's 90 minutes I'll never see again. #Monsterdon

Hooray we got sheep! #TeamSheep

#Monsterdon

@lytta Oh! Olsen is the guy with the fake beard and sunglasses who was pawning those books at the bookshop when Professor Uncle Otto was there (deliberately ensnaring Otto in his strategems). It's a plot! but he does have fascinating eyes, as Glauben mentioned earlier. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

meanwhile aboard the s.s. No Cutty Sark

#monsterdon #WhereTimeBegan

well now i kind of want to shave my beard into sideburns for like a day lmao

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh there the sheep. Ok I'm lost

Is he *kissing* that sheepherding boy he just met? #Monsterdon

"I should've married her, Mister Frodo!"

"Welp, guess you're going to have to marry Hans instead."

#Monsterdon

oh hey, it's a sheep for Hans! #monsterdon

This feels so much like a compliation movie edited from a long running tv show, and yet still nothing happens. It's just so much of nothing happening until the 5 minutes with bones and dinosaur s and a city of clones and a King Kong.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

You know what would be useful during a volcanic eruption?

Gas masks. #monsterdon

Yep, just grazin' the sheep in the active lava field, as one does

#monsterdon
