I just want to say, in conclusion, that the Roliscan flag is absolute madness. #monsterdon #mothra
Ack ack
Thank you, Thing.
What am I watching? #Monsterdon. Ah, #MarsAttacks!.
That big ass phone
How funny this is depends on how many other space alien movies you've seen. It's a pretty funny send up imo.
#monsterdon
It's caturday everyday for grandma.
#monsterdon
@blogdiva I had completely forgotten how many big names were in this. If I remember right, it bombed when it came out, but I think people like it more in retrospect. I had no idea it was directed by Tim Burton. #Monsterdon #MarsAttacks
@conquest_of_biscuits is he invited to a girls night out slumber party #TryinToMakeTheDreamWork #monsterdon
@conquest_of_biscuits past tense of pink? #justGuessing (tries to hide own old man typos) #monsterdon
Hello Barbra
@diazona while that is true, it'd be true for any life form, or many inanimate objects. #monsterdon
wow i forgot how many famous people are in mars attacks
@diazona my dog has no knows, how does he smell? (shutup dad!) #monsterdon
I'm not going to be able to stay up long enough to watch Jack Black get vaporized. boo. #Monsterdon #MarsAttacks #MiruMonsterdon
@davesdogmaggie Of course someone showed her photos before she left home. She was given a password.
#Monsterdon #Mothra πͺ°π₯
Some kind of "twin tower".
@combatwombat ...starts sobbing again... #monsterdon
Wow, what were those two huge buildings in the New York sky line?
Based Barbara.
Is having the boxer dressed up like that a Sphinx/Spinks reference?
I guess some of you are watching Mars Attacks? Shit, I might have to watch it again. It's actually really good! A total send up of alien landing movies.
#monsterdon
And thus ends another #monsterdon with a sexy mass dance sequence and a prayer for world peace.
The random english background stuff at the end of the Japanese version was the best.
Thank you everyone for your toots. Thank you @miru for the stream. And as always, a huge thanks to @Taweret for hosting.
#monsterdon If you're not on https://miru.miyaku.media watching Mars attacks as a chaser already, this one has Joe Don Baker (Mitchell) in it!
βFrom Director Tim Burtonβ
Oh, thatβs why I hated Mars Attacks the first time around #Monsterdon
I give Mothra 5 out of 5 blackpowder explosions, because I'm feeling generous and it had a lot of toy boats in it. I'm not sure why I didn't like it as much the first time I saw it.
The best characters are the greasy weirdo Nelson and also the giant moth who knocks everything over.
"Stan Against Evil": S0303: "Larva My Life"
btw the english translation of the original story that MOTHRA was adapted from has just recently been published!

@jivens ...starts sobbing... #monsterdon
Thatβs a wrap for another Monsterdon! Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and all of you for making it awesome!
Rats, got too involved watching... still so many questions...
#Monsterdon #Mothra
I think I saw a GIF in the #Monsterdon feed (but can't remember what it was... maybe Nelson's face?)
@Newpa_Hasai I couldn't quite bring myself to mark [Triumphant Music] for anything, but I *did* consider posting a GIF in the #Monsterdon Feed to secure myself a bingo. Maybe next time :blobfoxlaughsweat:
alright, palette has finally been clensed after last week's horror. mothra heals all wounds.
I think I'll pass on #MarsAttcks for the encore on @miru@social.miyaku.media
Thanks for a good #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow It'll be interesting to see the toot counts for today!
Okay so what we did was we painted the funny island cross, which I guess is Mothra's symbol, on an airport so she will land there after all the church bells mollify her.
Then we release the faeries who are like "k thanks we hope that there will be world peace one day!" and then go board Mothra who then fucks off into the sky. Everyone on the ground waves because they're swell.
And Mothera and the faeries fucked off into the sunset.
Thus ending the reign of terror of history's cutest Kaiju.
That was a lot of fun, folks! Thanks so much, and many thanks to our always gracious host @Taweret
Same time next week?
Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, and don't fucking kidnap faeries.
Owlbear OUT!
Mom-thra.
END #Monsterdon #Mothra
That movie had no business being this good. #Monsterdon
Oh, there's a little more than our usual abrupt ending
#Monsterdon #Mothra
@ramsey I'd allow it!
Moral is, don't capture women, hold them hostage, make them sing in your sketchy nightclub and think you can get away with it
#Monsterdon
Tiny faeries leave cage, wave goodbye, and take 4 months to cross the distance to get to Mothra.
#monsterdon we don't have time for aircraft control trucks to chicken race!!
#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen Mothra?
Our photographer missed some great shots, but, given that the camera sounds like an old-school guillotine, I guess itβs for the best.
@wohali AHAHA! #Monsterdon
I wonder if the crew put a tape mark on the ground for Fukuda et al. to look at while saying goodbye to the Shobijin, just to ensure everyone was focused on the same spot. I've seen other movies mess that up.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
Uh, how long would it actually take the fairies to walk to Mothra? That's gotta be a bit anticlimactic. #Monsterdon
Mothra has quite the proboscis
my uber is here
@yatsu Some of the lucky ones are done with the movie?, then? #monsterdon
@Lazarou She'll cut you! Mothra's a blade man, man! #Monsterdon
I can only assume this design they painted on the ground comes from the equivalent of FAA standards from one of Mothra's previous lives
I can't remember whether it was Tsuburaya or his wife or both who was or were committed Christiansβ¦eventually leading to multiple Ultramen being crucified in one episode.
The Shobijin must be so nauseous from being carried at a running pace.

I needed that one.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for the trivia...
...but most of all thank you #Mothra, #TeensyTwins and all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun!
OH New KIRK City I get it now, this is the movie last week's #monsterdon wanted to be. Imagine bringing in literally every specialized movie-magic machine that makes cars jump in the air in the days before Donks, and you were already shown up some 35+ years ago by a dude with some plastic models and a fan. Their Mayor Ebert was better, too.
@allanb Kobiyashi-Maroo? #monsterdon
oh yeah it's all fine, we're just all about to die, no problem.
Is it my imagination or is Mothra rampaging more gently? #Monsterdon
@binford2k WHEREVER HE WANTS! --Dad #monsterdon
Well. There goes the Washington Bridge⦠#Monsterdon
Well. There goes the Washington Bridge⦠#Monsterdon
Kinda reminded of the rave scene in The Matrix.
@whiskeysailor don't do it! you deserve better!!
Omigosh the little model boats! I love them!
#Monsterdon #Mothra
I will never get tired of watching the tiny toy cars get blown away.
Now where does the giant moth go? #Monsterdon #mothra
The toy vehicles in this movie truly are the best
@bstacey i think the evidence is strong
Zen just did the best Sign of the Cross innfilm history. #Monsterdon
I did not see the faith angle coming. #Monsterdon
Or instead of hoping you get lucky you could just talk to the priestesses through the glass?
#Monsterdon #Mothra
6" women: "Sayonara!"
Citizens after Mothra has destroyed a couple cities and killed thousands: " come back some day."
#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon
That movie always gets me right in the thorax. Thanks as usual to @Taweret , @Cherizilla ,
@JoeWynne ,
@paco ,
and all the #monsterdon folks.
So that's a wrap. This palate... is cleansed of 'Zilla98! #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
weird Christian mysticism thing going on here
They're not real White People because they're learned the language of the neighbours...
Imaginary kaiju, fine.
Imaginary deity bringing salvation? Hmmm
#Monsterdon
So the symbolism here is that Jesus is an allegory for Mothra.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
Oh so the reason Christianity has a cross is ... because Mothra visited the middle east. #Monsterdon
@msh @apLundell I might have to turn on autoscpiele on my psxhone #TheOlds #monsterdon
Matchbox mayhem in New Kirk City WOOOOO! :ameowbongo: :ablobspin: :ahhhhhhh: #Monsterdon
Ah, itβs the well known CathOrthodoPiscopalian church #Monsterdon
Would absolutely watch the movie about these ministers who are just trying to hold Sunday service when they are suddenly forced to host a couple of fairies waiting for the giant moth monster to arrive
βNew Kirk City?β
βGET A ROPE!β

Gonna tell my grandkids that this was Ann and Nancy Wilson.
#Monsterdon but not #Monsterdon
Statler and Waldorf as the priests
"This is a real victory for the Atomic Heat Ray" #monsterdon
All those bullets in the air. But does Mother a give a fuck?
She does not. #Monsterdon
"Is everything alright?"
"Um hmm."
Except a giant moth is destroying the city in search of two 6" women.
