One thing to keep in mind while watching this is that this was out only one year before Star Wars. One year before cons were full of wookies and Jedis, people were dressed like these two, running around hotels like mad people. #monsterdon #LogansRun
Teleporters to just summon a random sex worker? Or is this like the worst online dating service? Awesome outfits though.
#Monsterdon #LogansRun
"You're beautiful. Let's have sex" lmao he is BAD AT THIS #monsterdon
"I wanted to fuck the pain away...."
Very cop mindset of the Sandmen
#monsterdon
I was wondering why she was wearing an ankh but then i remembered 1976 #monsterdon
Nice ankh lady
#Monsterdon
I want one of those flying Segways with the people dissolving attachment #Monsterdon
So is there version of Tinder some sort of teleport device too?
The floor cleaners are _serious_ in this future.

This is like Dr. Who taken too far
so they just established that the cops are in fact excellent shots but they choose to shoot around people to play with them before killing them, which is like the most ACAB thing you could do #monsterdon
The Cirque du Soleil has gotten too extreme for my tastes. #Monsterdon
In the future, we cover our walls in flammable stucco.
#Monsterdon #LogansRun
ACAB even in the future. #Monsterdon
at least in the Sliders episode that's basically this, people take a drug that lets them fall asleep and die painlessly, not get sucked into a bug zapper that's activated by the first signs of crows feet #monsterdon
It's disappointing to learn that in the future, we go back to pocket pagers. #monsterdon
Iβve never joined the watch party but I get a kick out of all the #Monsterdon live-toots from my mutuals as yβall watch some cheesy old sci-fi movie together once a week. Itβs one of the most endearing things on Mastodon.
Loved the "Friday the 13th" masks
#monsterdon
this is making me feel better in retrospect about my 30th birthday being a little depressing because I was in between jobs at the time #monsterdon
Yep, down comes the carafe, they're about to press Pulse. #Monsterdon
TRIVIA: It always bothered me, this whole conceit for [name] [number] that you saw in so much old-school SF.
Then I found out that's literally something the Romans did because by the end of the Empire there were like... 12 socially acceptable names.
I love weird 70s shit like this #Monsterdon
they're all goalies #monsterdon
Great looking warmup act #monsterdon
"Please step into the ruby blender, to be reborn as shakes and smoothies" #Monsterdon
Capricorn 15, 2274! The date is set.
(Y'know, I should count the number of Carrosel participants to get an estimate of the total population)
Logan's Run! Awesome! π #monsterdon
It's the future, and not a cell phone in sight. They really learned, didn't they? #Monsterdon
70s screenwriter at his typewriter churning out worldbuilding notes about how astrology is *even more important* in this twisted future hell #monsterdon
lol, those giggling seed mothers...
This mall would look a lot more believable if there were a Cinnabon in the background #monsterdon
for everyone talking about how the future is just a mall, you have to understand this is just what los angeles looks like #monsterdon
#Monsterdon The Salad Spinner Of Death
I like the City's voice.
Heh, every time I see a tram like that I think of the one in Fallout 3 that Bethesda programed by putting the train model on an NPC's body and having the NPC run real fast :P #Monsterdon
It's a space mall!
Randomized electronika, how you know it's the future #monsterdon
Epcot Center was largely based on this city. It took a lot of convincing to get them to ditch the "kill all adults in the park" aspect. #Monsterdon
What concerns me is that they're still using astrology in the 24th century.
The movie Logan's Run is too old to survive in the world of Logan's Run. #Monsterdon
"Intrusion: Francis is a jackass."
It's Duncan Idaho from Dune.....truly the prophecy!
Tube highways, we don't have those yet
#monsterdon
Nice model work in this, if a bit too pristine for my taste.
This would be the opening tune to my city in SimCity4
Servo-mechanisms? DARPA finally paid off? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon gogogo
spoiler alert, the monster this week is Society #monsterdon
So the computer was keeping the city from blowing up through sheer force of will? #monsterdon
#monsterdon and THIS is why you shouldnβt allow guns in your data center.
@lytta @moira @trixter He's screenshotted smiling at Logan from Tinder here https://penguicon.social/@strangefour@retro.pizza/112351872289452937 thanks to @strangefour #Monsterdon #LogansRun
@strangefour They're all good lizards. #Monsterdon #LogansRun https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1225812-theyre-good-dogs-brent
Wow it really is Jan 6th all over again #monsterdon #logansrun
I thought I saw this movie on one of the NY channels in the late 70s, but on reflection there was too much nudity for syndication, so maybe when I worked at a video store in the 80s? #monsterdon
Anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^
@WhiskeySailor I'm really tending toward counting wacky robots as movie monsters #monsterdon
@ricci Aaaand *that* is why you don't put sparklers in your pants. #Monsterdon
@WhiskeySailor That's what I said too! Box is our monster friend in this movie.
1000000% critical support to the D.C. cat insurrection #monsterdon #logansrun
proud of myself for somehow seeing the jellical cat connection coming #monsterdon
I want to be this guy when I grow up #monsterdon #logansrun
@Taweret This was quite prescient
@Louisa I commented on the pink tongue inside the silvery robot as soon as I saw it. #monsterdon
#monsterdon my mom, as Logan rips some furnishings apart to make makeshift weapon βis he an insurrectionist?β
Why am I not surprised that a cat is the one who made all this mess #monsterdon #logansrun
@strangefour The little lizard was the monster #monsterdon
@Lazarou @blogdiva You're right, of course. The poster should have told us. #monsterdon
Oh my god we just got to the Lincoln Monument scene and the groan I made caused an earthquake #monsterdon #logansrun
@SRLevine Agree (Francis too) #monsterdon
Another side note: this is probably the first time I find myself really wishing I had a better-quality video file for #Monsterdon
i also did not know until i looked at IMDB today that Jenny Agutter was in avengers as well as winter soldier! #monsterdon
Thank you to @Taweret for another good Monsterdon!
@Taweret Maybe it was a studio decision? I don't really know how to explain it #monsterdon
#Monsterdon so, uh, anyone rescuing the babies?
#LogansRun
on the subject of LOGAN'S RUN being parts of the CATS canon, I can heartily recommend this video essay by John Erler of Master Pancake Theater, who thoroughly explores the complicated cinematic world of T.S. Eliot.
@trixter @Taweret There were even fewer dogs in the movie; are they extinct?
Thanks for another massive #Monsterdon, Taweret! And remember, Robinson Crusoe on Mars makes a great gift AND a great Monsterdon movie!
@peter_mcmahan That would explain it, yeah... But then, I feel like I'd notice things being more out of sync in the beginning.
I've done that myself, actually, but just like 30 seconds early, to account for how slow it is to type on a phone.
So it's very important that that old guy is a big book nerd who's been hanging out with cats and reading everything in the library for years, in addition to surviving on his own Outside. In terms of the near future, he's the repository of knowledge for helping them survive. #monsterdon #LogansRun
Despite the name recognition and star actors, I see now how this was a perfectly appropriate #Monsterdon movie
@Ayyyydrew They don't realize that their socialized medicine just went up in sparks #monsterdon
Well, another #Monsterdon in the books! Thanks as always to @Taweret and all of you out there. β€οΈ
it was weird to see nudity handled that way in a movie. like it wasn't even really sexualized in the ice cave scene. our characters just neeed to get out of their wet clothes before they froze
So I'm calling this a Bechdel fail, which is not such a surprise in itself, but how close it came to blundering into a Bechdel pass was quite something #monsterdon
For a second I thought the credits said:
Gene Wilder as Runner
And I was momentarily excited for a whole different movie.
#Monsterdon #LogansRun
man, i was looking this book up on libby like half way through. #Monsterdon
Now sheβs dancing like sheβs in Carousel.
I woulda been a good Carousel actor. Ow my hip. -Jennie
HAHAHAHAHAH! Ending on an exploding THE END. Fantastic. More movies sound end exactly as such.
#Monsterdon #LogansRun
I have to wonder if this movie would have made more sense if I'd been paying more attention to it and less to my Mastodon feed... I'm so used to the answer being "no" but this one looks different and better
Thanks @Taweret, weird but strangely fulfilling
And around the same time Star Wars (Ep 4) came out and there weren't any more strip scenes in any SF movies ever again #monsterdon
Well, that was a fascinating look into the kind of dystopian future that comes about when you donβt have cats. Honestly spent a lot more time watching the movie than reading the toots this time! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon
just earlier today i learned that there was a very short-lived tv series based on the movie #monsterdon
I noticed they only got that one dome-within-the-dome out of there. I hope some of them will be going back to free the kids #monsterdon
Always thought the pacing went off for the last part - slow - slow - slow - then MANIC FOR FIVE MINUTES. "There Is No Sanctuary" sticks pretty well though, and yes, you can hear the capitalization.
@yatsu Francis was not a nice man, but he was pretty smart. #Monsterdon #LogansRun
Great, all these people without any survival skills now without AIs to run their lives. And we all thought it was ugly before... #monsterdon
#monsterdon I spent 3/4 of the movie reading your snarky comments on #LogansRun. Now I have to rewatch it to figure out what this movie was about.
Well we did not pass the Bechdel test and there was no villain to monologue. Was the spinning head a hologram? Maybe I could mark that off. All in all a good card! #Monsterdon
