We Miss You!!

#Monsterdon

wait is this all a scheme by @Taweret to make us watch Lost #monsterdon

where the heck are the two mothra fairy twins, maybe we'll sync up with @neia on the separate movie track after all #monsterdon

Didn't the Mothra island natives eat red berries for radiation resistance? Does this movie come before or after?

#Monsterdon

yeah the red berries, they're _never_ poisonous

#Monsterdon #Matango

#Monsterdon #Matango After encountering a ghost ship piloted by the heroes of the horn of valere, our heroes... I mean... um... our protagonists... I mean... um... some rich chumps and their sailboat drivers... have encountered a non-ghostly island.

good use of black volcanic sand for mood

#Monsterdon #Matango

#Monsterdon Slapping the unconscious guy always works.

Pretty sure that's Monster Island, y'all. Keep going. #Monsterdon

black sand beaches are cool as fuck tho

#monsterdon

Smoking in the tiny cabin of a wrecked ship seems… bad? #Monsterdon #Matango

@jonny Personally I am at the level of "probably shouldn't have your sails up in a storm"

#Monsterdon

HAY!

HAAAAAAY!

...

HAY IS FOR HORSES!!

#Monsterdon #Matango

"Sir, this is a lighthouse. Your call." #monsterdon #matango

@diazona@techhub.social Oh yeah, I got the wrong movie. Gamera is escorting some kids out of the solar system, as you do.

#Monsterdon #DefinitelyNotMatango

#monsterdon Look at you, you're the captain now.

♫ They got into port and everyone was okay, they went out for lunch and felt betterrrr! ♪ #Monsterdon

That's quite a full cabin. There's not .... mushroom inside! :bender_dance:

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheMushroomPeople #Matango

being the only guy on the boat pulling religiously from the beer during a life-threatening storm is certainly A Way To Be #monsterdon

as usual, lots of godzilla regulars in this one #monsterdon

Hahaha more like mast-o-GONE #Monsterdon

"Bad news- the boat has turned into an unrealistic model."
#monsterdon

Why are they discussing bro science psychology in a storm?!

#monsterdon

Let's talk career options and picking up chicks while lashing the canvas and trying not to die! #monsterdon #matango

#Monsterdon #Matango Not sure if Captain.. er... Owner Pipes is trying to hit on the shy girl or is just genuinely concerned for her mental well being.

Uh oh this guy’s been reading pick- up artist guides. #Monsterdon #Matango

This episode of Our Flag Means Death is super strange.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheMushroomPeople #Matango

It’s unsinkable. Where did I hear this before? #monsterdon #matango

I don't like the cut of that jib.
#monsterdon

@lysdexic #Monsterdon
Are we sure that’s music?

This sailboat is a TARDIS I think #Monsterdon

"I think it'll weather any storm we hit" _foreshadowing_

#Monsterdon #Matango

He wears his sunglasses at night

#Monsterdon

Is she singing words in the Japanese movie? #Monsterdon

The scarf-and-sunhat combo makes her look like a sexy Spanish cardinal. #Monsterdon

I wonder how long we have to wait until the killer mushrooms show up

Not that this ukulele music isn't... uh... something

#Monsterdon

Oh God it's a musical!? #Monsterdon

🍄 La La Yacht

#AttackOfTheMushroomPeople
#Monsterdon #Mantago

@gnomon just another swinging 60s party movie! #monsterdon

@gnomon It captures the vibe of #Monsterdon quite well

What is with #monsterdon and boat based intros? this is like 3 or 4 in a row isnt it?

This would be me, carrying an entire pot of coffee around. #Monsterdon #Matango

This music on the Toho Scope screen lets you know exactly what you’re getting into. #Monsterdon #Matango

"You think I'm insane, don't you?"

Eh, it's an Ishiro Honda flick. Someone's crazy. #Monsterdon

ahhhhhhh the mark of quality

#Monsterdon #Matango

Toho Scope!

#Monsterdon

@diazona otherwise we'd see his mushroom? 🤷 #monsterdon

@Taweret that can't be super healthy #monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Matango (AKA Attack of the Mushroom People).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

@diazona Yeah, because of the relay, we're fairly well #monsterdon comprehensive. But for the Owl, we don't try.

@moira Ahh gotcha, that makes sense

I was a little confused because I've definitely seen that 1.3k ish for #Monsterdon before

And a big thank you to @Taweret for tonight's #Monsterdon ... sweet mushroom dreams, y'all!

@moira Oh cool, I was just wondering how activity on #Monsterdon compares to #Superbowl.

Although I wonder about those numbers - I just looked at my Mastodon app and it said 1578 people had recently posted in the #Superbowl hashtag, while #Monsterdon didn't even register, so I guess the reporting must be incomplete? 🤷

@athena_rising @Taweret
Yep - thank you all!

(My first #monsterdon was the ants one a few weeks ago - it's definitely become a highlight of my weekend...)

I wonder if something akin to Turkey Day Marathon would be something of interest on Super Bowl Sunday for #monsterdon ?

Maybe not 24 (or 48) hours, but maybe 12?

@SarraceniaWilds @Taweret too late 🤣🤣

#Monsterdon

@rvaughnmd #Monsterdon Ah, the movie medical trope classics!

@diazona @SarraceniaWilds @Taweret yeah it's a gamera movie! #monsterdon

@DancinJules Sounds exactly right for #Monsterdon 👍

@annathepiper OMG that sounds incredible

I mean, incredibly dumb, but incredible. I will have to check it out sometime.

Though as much WTF-ness as we have witnessed tonight, IMO it doesn't hold a candle to Turkish Star Wars 😛

#Monsterdon

And I say that as a San Francisco kid #monsterdon

@annathepiper Death Bed is _amazing_

not in a good way, but

amazing

#monsterdon #matango

I have no idea what that movie was, but it sure was purty on occasion. Thanks for the fun, monster friends, see you next week! #monsterdon

Getting bullied by big rubbery mushrooms while they laugh at you, the ultimate humiliation

#Monsterdon

The H-Man started playing next on Tubi...

#monsterdon

I guess the fractured yacht mast healed? #monsterdon

@SarraceniaWilds @Taweret I think I saw a comment on the archive.org page that said it was "Attack of the Monsters"

Definitely could be a future #Monsterdon

@moira @nev @jonny @RobynGoodfellow Hold up, I've got it here somewhere... Here we go #Monsterdon

@Taweret ah i see https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/8aVnQ3Xsa9PFfFM816hJMj?start=30m34s #monsterdon

@Taweret @jonny Yeah and they did actually say "Ma-tan-go" in the Japanese audio

#Monsterdon

@Taweret it certainly has.

memorable movie, thanks for the pick! #Monsterdon

@kcarp goooooood question!

#monsterdon #matango

I feel like there was some subtext in that movie

#monsterdon #Matango

@nev begrudging acceptance of the reality of this joke #monsterdon

@msh @Taweret With a healthy dose of Lord of the Flies #monsterdon

@trixter Yesssss, Matango vs. Mindflayer :D #Monsterdon

i am rarely this whu? after a movie

anyway thanks @Taweret as always for hosting and good job team

#monsterdon #matango

Team Mushroom looked like so much fun. 😞

#monsterdon

was the word "matango" ever said or what was that all about #monsterdon

@Taweret Good mushroom monsters, too! Like if the critter from From Hell It Came had actually been created by someone with talent <3 #Monsterdon

nope, i think i would still prefer tokyo to the mushroom island. it must be hard to sleep with all those mushroom people giggling all the time. i might as well have all night bookstores if there's gonna be all night noise. #monsterdon

In the sequel, Jack makes everyone return to Mushroom Island.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheMushroomPeople #Matango

@Taweret one I'm missing I'm afraid

other than the magic mushroom cave. that part was great.

#monsterdon #matango

that movie is a vibe tho

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mantango, where the real friends were the mushrooms we ate along the way.

yah, that was fun. thanks for playing, folks. :)
i'm off to bed.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheMushroomPeople #Matango

@moira I wonder if it makes more sense after you eat the mushrooms

#Monsterdon

what on earth is the moral here. the mushroom people were actually fine because the city is also just a mushroom island. so everything is fine and there was no conflict. you can go and live forever cackling incoherently on mushroom island. but they did kill at least red shirted sunglass guy, so maybe it's about the conflict between different kinds of mushroom islands, which are all the same. #monsterdon

So, is he going to go to spore and introduce mushroom people to all of Tokyo now?

#Monsterdon

sooooo... ummm... well... that was an... ending I guess...

seriously what the hell i like tokyo what even is happening here

there must be so much context i'm missing here

#monsterdon #matango

Maybe the mushroom guy just wants to talk to them about the Book of Mormon #monsterdon

@Taweret @apLundell all these questions are why he wants to go back to the island!
#Monsterdon

THEN I ATED IT 🙀 #monsterdon #matango

I do think I'd be happier in Tokyo than on the island even as a mushroomfolk, though. Better night life. #Monsterdon

Thanks again @tawaret <3 #monsterdon #attackofthemushroompeople

nothing made me cackle as hard as the abrupt ending.

#Monsterdon #AttackOfTheMushroomPeople #Matango

Whiplash ending - escaped bloke should *definitely* have stayed with the mushroom people... #monsterdon

damn, thanks all for a Twilight Zone-ass #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for organizing!

Ooooookay yeah that was definitely category WTF Did I Just Watch. XD Cheers all!
