@paco confused

and lost

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@paco goddammit i didn't say a single thing about a silver alert and it was just sitting there

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

"Where am I?" "What the fuck am I wearing?" #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

OK so that was pretty much exactly as brain-painful as the other movie but it gave me the idea to rewatch Galaxy Quest so I can see more rock monster material.

Thanks @jonny for hosting and everyone for posting! I like the double feature vibe, we should do this more often.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

impromptu double feature ftw team

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Well, I don't know about you, but I enjoyed this unofficial Monsterdon double feature. A lot of these movies were shown as double features, too, especially as a lot of them were drive-in fare.

#monsterdon

It's amazing how many things from this movie can be seen in Sci-Fi for the next 4 decades.

#Monsterdon
#CatWomenOfTheMoon
#MissileToTheMoon
#DoubleFeature

Um, dude, that's not how to hold the gun. #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@moira @diazona it is amazing how hard the reaction to the lesbian government turned into literally "am i prettier than the blue girl" #monsterdon

@ranjit @jonny absolutely. moon gumbies are quality.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@moira @jonny That's fair. It's just not something that factors into my personal evaluation.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

I found the remake more entertaining that the original in the so-bad-it's-good sense.

#monsterdon

@moira like i hate to admit it but the women in this movie seemed to have more agency over the plot than in the previous one #monsterdon

@jonny True! I actually like the Moon Gumbies. Plus 1 for Inferior Remake.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Jabba the Hutt vibes from the Ledo.

#Monsterdon #missiletothemoon

@jonny @moira Eh idk the other one had very little going for it either except the spiders so I kind of like this one better, at least there were fun rock monsters

Comparing them almost seems comically meaningless though

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

Seems like the whole budget was spent on the money and choreography for this dance number. It's the only mildly interesting part. #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon.

@jonny @moira It did pass the Bechdel Test though, so at least there's that?

#Monsterdon

@jonny @moira I got back in time to see the moon gumbies, i love them

#monsterdon

I cannot really decide which of these movies I liked less. MISSILE TO THE MOON had better production and the writing was more consistent, but the things suggested by its narrative were much less interesting than CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON (seriously, the all-female telepathy thing was just outright dropped?!)

Ah, well, it was fun seeing how the two compared.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

I hate to say it but it is a Bechdel pass, Alpha and, uh, Lido 1's struggle for the throne probably qualifies.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Of all the improvements over the previous movie they could have easily made, they did none.

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

@moira genuinely bad, worse than the previous, except for the gumbies and the spider, those were the true heroes of the movie #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

Thanks for the suggestion @jonny

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

In fact, I would say that was _actually worse_. Amazing.

Now we just need the third retelling to complete the real Cardassian literary experience.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Well, that was fun!

#Monsterdon
#CatWomenOfTheMoon
#MissileToTheMoon
#DoubleFeature

Roasted Gary.

#Monsterdon
#CatWomenOfTheMoon
#MissileToTheMoon
#DoubleFeature

Well, we have a lot less weight to carry this time, that'll help

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

[transatlantic voice intensifies] Look out, the rock-mennn!

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

YES GARY EXPLODED :D

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@jonny I guess to be fair they're not on Earth... but yeah srsly wtf

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

for the love of god this fucking diamond scene with gary oh my god i am losing my mind #monsterdon

diamond gary whatever

none of these characters matter anyway

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

"everything's all right now" BRO learn your PACING LESSONS from the LAST MOVIE you have to RESOLVE THE PLOT you can't just say ITS FINE #monsterdon

oh wait i thought diamond dave died

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

You will obey...

I will obey...

And thus began a happy marriage. #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

...are there clouds?

Probably a trick of the film or something but I swear it looks like there are clouds

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

I can't imaging sitting in a theater engrossed in a movie then BAM, The End.

#Monsterdon
#CatWomenOfTheMoon
#MissileToTheMoon
#DoubleFeature

@moira I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing the leader’s gas

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

huh, rocks fall, gary dies!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

THE ROCK GUMBIES MAKE A RETURN AND GET BLOWN UP BY ROCKS?!?!?!?!?!??!?! #monsterdon

Less than 5 minutes now. Gary's death looking more certain. Sun is out on the surface of the Moon. Cat women society disintegrating because of a Total Recall event

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@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

Dispensed with the "rock man"!

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

i repeat, as before, there are 4 (four) minutes left in this movie #monsterdon

Dayton?! Now you're desperately into Ohio? WHY?

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@moira it's like a Bad Janet

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #TheGoodPlace

What about Gary? Why are you so interested in Indiana suddenly?!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

I can't look at this spider. #monsterdon #missileToTheMoon

Holy crap. This moon spider is infinitely worse than the one on #catwomenofthemoon

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ @hollie OMG I didn't realize it was actually a remake 🤦

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

I COMMAND YOU

RELEASE THE GAS

[ffffffffffffffar-]

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Gary? Gary's in Indiana, but that's not important right now.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

Why is the lever shaped in that way?

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne Which apparently coincides exactly with US English except for like five words

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

like why is he wearing a Chinese robe here, and why is that the great signifier of his transformation. in 1958? #monsterdon

@SnoopJ oh Gary, he is the best part of this whole shebang.

#Monsterdon #missiletothemoon

Dayton's over there like "oh, damn, cat-fight"

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

This is not my beautiful mumu! This is not my beautiful wife!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@moira Maybe inspired https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9788510 #monsterdon

ZIMA?!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@diazona yes...you are learning an ancient alien language!

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

you can really feel deep influence of the orientalism of the 50's here, the same that bled into "tiki" shit and has the early echos of new-age in the 60's, in the costume design and the choreography here. we are getting "abstract south-east-asian gynocracy" everywhere in the the entire design of the scene #monsterdon

"STOP THE DANCING!"

"There was dancing?"

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@hollie Yeah we're watching Missile to the Moon, but you didn't miss an announcement, we only decided to do this right after finishing Cat-Women

(double-features are not typical of #Monsterdon)

wow, uh, talk about some impacts in the rear

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

OH so he's wearing Star Trek mumu _and_ comfortable slacks. That's nice.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

@diazona well, it ain't wendell wilky!

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

I guess "lido" is supposed to be "leader"?

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

he's CLEARLY wearing the mumu from And The Children Shall Lead

#missiletothemoon
#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Oh that was a super weird one, might be worth a rewatch

There was this Aztec mummy with the same expression as the spider

#Monsterdon

@paco and I are a little behind. I just realised that Gary=Walt

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

And the obligatory dance begins.

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon

She's Alpha, the Lido
Opposed to mankind
A bluey sort of moony friend
She really does shine (Hey!)

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

What is with all of the obscenely uncomfortable chairs in this movie?

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

There must be a whole language where you can express complex thoughts in the manner of clapping twice

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@SnoopJ It's like the spider version of the Aztec mummy from last week

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

ferocious blue alien queen: "my will is stronger than yours"
0% charisma dayton: "no"
#monsterdon

Eyebrow hypnosis

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon #DoubleFeature

Alpha's hairpiece is truly awful. I imagine it doesn't look much better in color.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@faoluin It was baaaaaad today

#Monsterdon

the blue women disney princess costumes are not really working in their dusty rock environment, the black cat suits were more believable as a space dwelling clothing. the production team was sitting on costumes in both movies #monsterdon

No one ESCAPES from moon city thirTEEN

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

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

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

That's a stern spider ⊙_⊙ #monsterdon

Blue Orion females

#Monsterdon #missiletothemoon

Just about 20 minutes to go. I *think* we're not going to see as abrupt of an ending in this one, but I'm starting to feel a little nervous.

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

So cat woman walks up, farts, and they all pass out. That tracks. #monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

THE MOON SPIDER SHOTS are spectacular and if we get some spider fight scenes we will eclipse the last movie #monsterdon

The Moon spider's face is so goofy I love it

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

@diazona psychic warfare!!!! #monsterdon

Wait did a challenge for the throne just happen and I completely missed it?

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

Gary is my favorite. Game over, man. Game over.

#missiletothemoon #Monsterdon

oh spooder frien is back!

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

oh i remember when luke skywalker fought this guy

#monsterdon #MissleToTheMoon

@Lazarou Alpha hit the side of Lambda's head with a rock and killed her when Lambda was trying to get them to not kill ALL of the men. So Doug? was sad Lambda was dead. #Monsterdon #CatWomenOfTheMoon

The Lido's headdress may be the best character in this movie

#Monsterdon #MissileToTheMoon

Release the Kraken!

#MissleToTheMoon #Monsterdon
