#monsterdon Yes, yes, the dude is old, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THING, GET TO THE CATS ALREADY

see what he has embedded in his hand? that's a passkey. do y'all wanna have shit embedded in your hand for the exploitation of fuckwad techbros? of course you don't. don't do biometric passkeys.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

it's Peter Pan and his Lost Boys' reenactment of West Side Story in the 23rd century 1970's future

#monsterdon This scene with the old man and all the cats here makes me think back fondly to the clowder that used to live on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

OH MY GOODNESS THE OLD MAN IS QUOTING CATS (2019)

If this turns into a musical with a tap-dance number at the end I swear this is my new favourite movie. SKIMBLESHANKS, SKIMBLESHANKS, SKIMBLESHANKS

THANK YOU MONSTERDONIANS! and thank you @Taweret@octodon.social for another aweome #Monsterdon

after all these years, i finally watched Logan's Run.

this is what happens when you let AI run a whole civilization. btw, AI is totally incapable of imagining a future with non-Europeans, melanin-challenged peoples.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

#monsterdon HE THREW THE BOOK AT HIM

"It's different, it's me, my life"

Logan is totally a cop and a republican.

#ACAB
#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

Francis was a time traveler after all.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

the old man connected to the internet and all he found where cats. no wonder there are no other humans.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

"I HATE OUTSIDE, I HATE IT"

City folk's first day in the country

#monsterdon

i just spotted the one Black guy with the big Afro. he has a Black gal walking next to him. dassit. the movie's done.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

#monsterdon Here we see the symbol of the nation being used to metaphorically and literally mete out the violence inherent in its system _puffs pipe, soap bubbles float up into the air_

With all these young people around to ask endless questions there's a risk Peter Ustinov pulls a Yoda and just dies rather than deal with it.

#monsterdon

this is the Planet Of The Apes beach isn't it?

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

@jonny he should not make big decisions so soon after murdering his friend and finding out the Sun exists.

#monsterdon

Logan could stay there, petting cats with Jenny Agutter but he just has to go back to the City to prove that AI wrong.

#monsterdon

OMG of course Francis would take the American flag and try to kill Logan.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

#monsterdon You know, seeing our two future protagonists flee a society based on a worship of youth, powered by hedonism and ignorance, and perpetuated by careless violence built atop that same cultivated ignorance... and having their eyes opened to a larger world when they stumble into the political relics of _the united states_..? That reads differently now than in the 70s, I think.

"Wonder what they were like?" Well, we can tell from this statue, they were very large and liked to sit a lot. #Monsterdon

"the CHOICE is still mine."
consent is so totally rad and sexy

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

the spears have luminous condoms. they practice safe murder.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

#monsterdon I'm really enjoying the set design in this movie so far. It's doing a surprisingly good job of simultaneously projecting that whole faux-future super-clean visual affect but also looking like places where people might actually live and spend time.

lol, love how with a simple prompt Logan got the city AI to admit the whole thing is a sham

....and then the AI fucks him over on a 'mission'

#monsterdon

no, she doesn't want to fuck you cuz you're cop.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

#monsterdon With this many cats in the scene the only logical way for it to proceed is for Michelle Pfeiffer to suddenly appear with a sewing machine and a bullwhip

I've seen Logan's Run so often, both when it was new and every decade since that I can follow along pretty closely as the #Monsterdon toots roll along, even though I'm not watching tonight. Sounds like they're into the Peter Ustinov scenes now.

"look logan, our mobiles are out of signal for the first time in our lives....we're free, FREE!"

#monsterdon

"Lets take our clothes off but as I'm the man I'll keep my pants on because well......'shrinkage' "

#monsterdon

oh! so GladOS was a surgeon before she went bonkers at Aperture Labs.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"Hear, have a nerve gas capsule, we Police carry them all the time...."

Duncan Idaho didn't even give her a chance...

#monsterdon

welp, women can use sensible shoes in this 23rd century future. that's a plus?

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"Do I get those four years back?"

"......"

Cold

#monsterdon

@blogdiva it was a very White utopia, so I'm ambivalent to what happens to the survivors really...

#monsterdon

who will feed and clothe all these useless mall-humans now?

Just like Battlestar Galactica....they'll all be dead by winter

#monsterdon

love how the Old Man won't shut up for the whole journey, he is the spirit of Grandpa Simpson

#Monsterdon

If I had never seen a cat before, I'd be fucking hysterical being in a room full of them, and and old man.....the city folk are handling it well

#monsterdon

"how old are you?"
"I'm am old as I am I suppose"

Good answer to a cop

#monsterdon

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA THEY'RE OUTSIDE LIKE IN PORTALS

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"LOGAN! BROS BEFORE HOES! LOGAAANNN!!"

Cops....

#monsterdon

Jenny Agutter talking to Farah Faucet like she forgot her lines

#monsterdon

In conclusion:
#monsterdon #LogansRun

#monsterdon Oh no, the strings are rising and the horn section is cohering, are we about to roll credits?

We ARE O GOD

They never met cats!!

AND THAT'S A WRECK

good glory what a heartbreaking disappointment of a conclusion

#monsterdon Those rainbow-hued rotating holograms during the surrogation / interrogation sequence remind me of the ones at the science museums when I was young.

(And we're going with "cognitive dissonance causes literal explosions" as the wrap-up, eh? Seems a little trite.)

"OK old man, we'll leave you here while he pop back into the city for something"

hours later the City explodes.

#monsterdon

i mean, technically, they didn't find a sanctuary. it was a rewilded earth with pesky iguanas.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

In a moment, is this bit where Logan's holo head rotates and says "AN. OLD. MAN." which is just sublime for reasons I can barely explain

"AN...OLD....MAN"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Real talk though, with the old man coming out on this fun adventure with our two youngsters, who is taking care of the cats?

OH! there's Peter Ustinov. just an old man with lots of cats.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

yup, Lincoln is covered in moss. a total re-wilding of DC.

"that's what it must look like being old".
this movie is hitting all thepost-apocalyptic cryptofascist points.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

How long can these pampered city folk last in the wilderness before it kills them? They have none of the right skills, or clothes....first night and they would be dead

#monsterdon

Peter Ustinov is a shitty C3PO?!?!

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"It must have been a savage world"

Looks around at 2024.......*sigh

#monsterdon

Those are "farting wands", very unpleasant

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Ah, a full 51 minutes until we got to the first slow-motion hallucinogenic orgy sequence.

no wonder GladOS went bonkers. she was forced to murder her creator.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"LETS GO THROUGH THE LOVE SHOP....LOVE SHOP BA-BY!"

#monsterdon

I LIKE TO LIVE IN A AMERICA!
oh, wrong movie set.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

Model supertrain FX is the best FX

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

The future needs more "exploding party globes"

#monsterdon

i remember when this movie came out. it seemed to have been on theaters for ever when i was kid. to this day, i have no idea what this movie is about and didn't take care to find out before today, LOL

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

this 23rd century future has one lonely Black guy with a giant afro barely being an NPC

#Monsterdon

am telling y'all the future in the 1970s is aggressive pastels, chiffons and satins.

#Monsterdon

Okay I learned just enough about obs to make this terrible gif, I hope you're happy

#Monsterdon #LogansRun

@apLundell@octodon.social first winter, they're all dead. Old man alone again #monsterdon

the weirdo handmaidens floating in space in these rolling credits are trippy as fuck

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

Oh, the credits specifically mention T. S. Eliot!
#Monsterdon #LogansRun

#monsterdon Thank you as every week for putting this whole wacky adventure together, @Taweret@octodon.social. Always a delight.

@diazona Logan got too real for the AI and it blew up #monsterdon

Almost expected a burned out Stature of Liberty on that beach and Carlton Heston having a moment

#monsterdon

Francis is little too obsessed with Logan. his homosociality is more than a tad toxic.

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

HE PET THE CAT!
A+ movie. Five stars.
#Monsterdon #LogansRun

Logan instinctually reaches out to pet the cat......humans throughout the ages :)

#monsterdon

"We're from the City"

looks bedraggled, confused and hysterical

#monsterdon

lol @ Washington DC returning to the swamp....

#monsterdon

So they've landed on the land of Misfit Toys? #Monsterdon

lol, awful Infosec, Duncan Idaho has a key now

#monsterdon

once a cop, always a cop. why would this fuck sold them out, if he wanted to run.

#ACAB
#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

They put vapes on the ends of spears. This IS the future. #Monsterdon

NEVER invite a Policeman into your secret Sanctuary!

#monsterdon

Does anybody in the Love Shop understand 'Consent?'

#monsterdon

FARRAH!

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"I'll go to a mob doctor to get a new face, what could go wrong?"

#monsterdon

"You're a nice old lady"

Fucking kids, no wonder they lock them away....cheeky!

#monsterdon

"It's different now because it's ME!"

The 'White Liberal'

#monsterdon

#monsterdon dude’s gotta go undercover solo as a “runner” with only this dodgy computer being aware of the job and somehow survive his coworkers not killing him? This seems sus

Goose goes ANKH ANKH

#monsterdon

“If for some reason you want to be 31” #monsterdon #LogansRun

PLEASE.
NO.
there is still consent in the 23 century.

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

"Stop arguing with the System and suck my cock, I'm a Police....err Sandman"

#monsterdon

oh, so Logan is a cop? #ACAB

#Monsterdon
#LongansRun

Tonight I’ll just be posting the reactions from my wife who’s never seen Logan’s Run.

Why do some people get better belts? -Jennie

#monsterdon

lol, look at their dystopia where they just shoot people who don't want to play along......oh

#monsterdon

When Carousel begins. #Monsterdon

"you have a better system?"

Sounds like the current debate on Capitalism

#monsterdon

eeeeek started lateish. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOG0!
#monsterdon

*hans gruber voice

"I loved models as a child......."

#monsterdon

Well, I didn't watch along with #Monsterdon tonight, but I have seen "Logan's Run" a lot of times!
And visited some of the locations.

I think of it as the last big SF movie before Star Wars. Has all the key elements of a 70s dystopian sci-fi story.

Enjoyed reading the posts!

OH SNAP! everything is exploding! what's gonna happen to all those people? what gonna happen to our old guy?

#Monsterdon #LongansRun

#monsterdon Oh hell yes, all these confused young people are going to see a cat suddenly, this is going to be great
