Dear #monsterdon friends:

I am not in to monsterdon.

But I want to be sure you know how much I love that *you're* in to it.

The Ballad Of Diamond Gary #Monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon #DeathsOfMonsterdon

@jonny I particularly like how you can see the flat line across the top of the classroom skeleton's skull

that's some no-effort november right there

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

This counts as an entry in the Big Hats of Monsterdon Hall of Fame, right?

#monsterdon

@diazona @ricci I have some extremely good news for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_candy

#monsterdon

That's the same police car from Them right?

#monsterdon

"the rock men, they're in front of you!" when in fact they are behind diamond gary. were the other people just trying to get rid of diamond gary? #monsterdon

Somehow the moon spiders are even worse in this one.

#monsterdon

This ship is entirely manned by accidental stowaways and prison escapees. It's pretty much a backdoor pilot for Farscape.

#monsterdon

Hey, I've seen that spectrum chart in classrooms.

#monsterdon

...are they hiding *inside* the rocket? And if so, why does it have high-school style lockers?

#monsterdon

The lever is wrapped in tin foil! God I love movie props.

#monsterdon

Oh, the extermination chamber? They just feed people to the moon spiders. That makes sense.

#monsterdon

My will is stronger than yours. You must obey me. You will obey me!

Sorry, can't do that right now, your wonkey eyes are distracting me!

#monsterdon

Psychic cat fight!

#monsterdon

I felt like every one of the women should have been introduced with the name of the beauty contest they won as they made their entrances one by one.

#monsterdon

Cobwebs. This film has Space Gumby monsters without and Space Spiders within.

#monsterdon

Space Gumby sighting!

#monsterdon

The only one who knows how to fly the ship is going to die?

#monsterdon

OMG, the prisoners are going to steal the ship and fly it to the moon. Talk about a daring escape. Not just prison, but the planet!

#monsterdon

@diazona @SordidAmok @Taweret yeah hard to define what #monsterdon is, there is always some antagonist... i think? and some of us try to steer it towards old and low budget and shitty movies, but i don't think that's everyone by any means. ultimately @Taweret is what monsterdon is

the whole movie basically happened in 2 minutes in this one scene #monsterdon

The sun being a deadly lazor(tm) callback.

#monsterdon

I remember Zima on Babylon 5!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Such a scene. #monsterdon #missiletothemoon

An event in the extermination chamber? What sort of event would that be?

#monsterdon

Pro tip: arrange things so your chain of command can't be overridden by somebody yelling "Silence!"

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

"It's a rock! it doesn't HAVE any vulnerable spots!" #monsterdon #GalaxyQuest

@jchaven If the movie that actually referenced cats couldn't put together a cat fight I'm not sure it's proper to call this one 🤷

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

omfg the whole conflict is monogamy in this movie #monsterdon

bro do not be talking about the marriage plans and how you are not actually dirk like 10 feet away from your blue bride #monsterdon

"It seems all of their troubles began about 20 years ago."

Assuming they haven't been here very long, I'll accept that. But I bet this movie isn't smart enough to do that.

#monsterdon

BTW that's right: BRAKES

on a ROCKET

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

"We won't be able to feel the sensation of slowing down."

Why the hell not?

#MissleToTheMoon #DoubleFeature
#Monsterdon

Hm, pre-set landing coordinates and some kind of mystery medallion.

Do cat-women have the ability to compel men in this one?

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

"Meteorite", he says, very far from the Earth's surface.

Ackshully, sir, those are called meteroids.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

TINFOIL ATTAAAAAAAAAACK

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

I hope the cat women stab Gary.

#monsterdon

Meteors are the biggest hazard in space, not say lack of gravity or radiation

#monsterdon

@north The control panels are great, and are unfortuantely making me think about McMaster

#monsterdon

All rockets in the 50's apparently had comfortable house-sized rooms inside

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

He needs volunteers to man his suicidal moon trip and a couple escaped cons fell into his lap. Sure, that sounds like prime crew material.

#monsterdon

ok so we have upgraded from the corrugated steel spaceship walls, but we now have chosen to make everything from pegboard, so maybe this is the innovation promised by private space travel? #Monsterdon

Lot of particleboard in that rocket.

#monsterdon

He steals cars...and rocket ships. Sure, why not?

#monsterdon

You can tell they're badasses on account of the rolled up sleeves.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

"fly it to the moon"

Δv does not work like that.

#monsterdon

Another one? Okay…

“First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?” S.R. Hadden, “Contact”

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@randy_s @Lazarou @Configures That I buy! But a camera might come in handy, too! And maybe some baggies or jars to collect samples to bring back?

I mean, they went to a lot of trouble to get to the moon in their radioactive nitric acid rocket? Seems rude to go on a trip that long & not bring back any souvenirs for the kids & eggheads to gawk at in some museum...
#monsterdon

Okay, Missile to the Moon.

Starting with an Atlas I think?

#monsterdon

@Lazarou @JoeWynne @Taweret @cheribaker I would have been satisfied if the leader of the alien women had a tail stuck on her leotard #monsterdon

@moira I frequently ask myself that while watching Monsterdon flicks.

#monsterdon

The Rock Men Did Not Deserve This #Monsterdon #DeathsOfMonsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon

anyway MOVIE OFF [clap clap]

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@diazona @jonny This one was DROWNED IN HETERONORMATIVITY. The other one at least has serious evil lesbian vibes and as an evil lesbian I approved.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

You'll never believe where we've been. I'm a hero, I say! A hero! I've been to the moon.

#monsterdon

Have you tried throwing another rock at another rock monster

Or perhaps slowly walking away from them

In literally any direction other than the one that leads you into a solar death ray

It could even be the direction where your spaceship is but we're not picky here

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

And they may or may not have successfully fucked off to Earth. That was certainly a movie.

#monsterdon

Diamond Gary done in by his greed for diamonds! Wow, who knew the sun was that powerful?

#monsterdon

THE MOVIE REALLY ENDS WITH
"do you think i'm prettier than that girl, the one called alpha. "
"honey there's only one thing i ever expect to see that's prettier than you, and that's old mother earth looking up in the viewplate"

#monsterdon

Well, that wasn't very good now was it?

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

OK, I'm not doing another goodbye, so
...so long! Great double feature!

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

just walk... forward...? #monsterdon

gary was expendable from the start he was destined to die because he exhibited the crime of Horny #monsterdon

Rot in piss, Gary, you suck.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

#Monsterdon
#CatWomenOfTheMoon

#DoubleFeature

Wow! What a metamorphosis from burning up in the inexplicably deadly moon-sun!

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

"We've got to stop him somehow!"

Has anybody tried holding his hand?

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

what on EARTH!?!!???!?! free the moon gumbies they didn't deserve that bulls hit #monsterdon

rocks rocks rocks

his love affair with rocks

society won't underst---

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai I think any place would be a bad place to put a window when you're in the last pocket of atmosphere on an airless celestial body

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

That seems like a bad place to put a window.

#monsterdon

ROCK TO THE HEAD

(NAAA NAAA)

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@jonny The outfits are very I dream of Jeannie, which was another 7 years down the line.

#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai I may not have known if I hadn't been looking at the IMDB page

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

10 minutes to go… concern rising of an abrupt ending, and also that Gary won't be killed.

Of those two, I think it is more important that Gary is killed.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@diazona I've been mishearing it as "Leto" the whole time >.>

#monsterdon

spooder fren really only has a bit part in this movie

GET IT

BIT

AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

The hat is clearly a psychic amplifier. Nobody can refuse a woman wearing such a hat.

#monsterdon

OF ALL THE THINGS TO CHOOSE TO MAKE CONTINUOUS BETWEEN THE TWO MOVIES I DID NOT EXPECT IT WOULD BE THE DANCE SCENE #monsterdon

oh snap we even got the slow-stabbing-death scene!

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

The Lido having gone blind should probably have kept a bodyguard on staff.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

weirdly we are getting much harder bechdel passing vibes from this movie where the blue women have their own complex moon politics, even though there is no lesbian superplot. we are all over the map here #Monsterdon

"My thoughts will become your thoughts"

:blobfox3c:💭(nyaa nyaa nyaa)

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

The cave is apparently lit by a clap-activated light.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

LIGHTS OFF [clap clap]

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

Cripes, I slept through #Monsterdon >.<

I might have done that anyway though, I was dead tired. I'll try to catch up later this week.

They don't know how the ship works? And the society doesn't seem interested in conquering earth, so... they can just bring them over?

#monsterdon

Moon spooder seems to have lost some fur over the years

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

Moon spider is here to save the day

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

eat a bag of dirks, gary #monsterdon

IS THAT THE SAME MOON SPIDER #monsterdon

i sort of like the blue women having their own politics more than "idealistic teenager doesn't want to conquer earth", we're in a sort of random walk of 50's feminism i think #monsterdon

"Orlando must have a new leader!"

This does map disturbingly well onto FL politics, tbh

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

dang. this is some manos: the hands of fate dialogue delivery. "SHE will DIE!"

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

Come dirk!

uh...

#monsterdon

cat fight!
