"Brownface" is going to be one of those word cloud hits tomorrow...

#Monsterdon

are the wee ladies indoctrinating people via damn catchy folk songs? If so, I approve.
#Monsterdon

This stage show is like Japan's version of when my high school decided our prom theme would be "A Touch of the Orient"

We have fallen through the cultural insensitivity looking glass

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

This Mothra song slaps!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

You puny humans, they are singing a call to their vengeful god! This show will be your very downfall!

#monsterdon

@log it's awkward 😬
#Monsterdon

"I'm a human being too! A human being that represents the interests of the owning class as your unrelenting boss! Can't you consider that at least as important as your own morals?"
#monsterdon
#mothra

🎶 Mothra...

Y'all are fucked...🎶

#Monsterdon

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Egg

#Monsterdon #Mothra

@JoeWynne when will it switch to flee circus?

#monsterdon

are these singers called The Peanuts?

#monsterdon
#mothradon

Turning a newly discovered civilisation into a minstral show makes the baddies even more repulsive over time dunnit? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon imagine going to see this concert(?) before simulcasting, what a letdown

they're throwing gang signs!

#monsterdon

His mustache is fabulous.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

"And I'd like a pony. Guess neither of us are

#monsterdon #mothradon

@Binder Eiji Tsuburaya had a personal King Kong print that he pored over, sometimes with Honda, before they started work on Mothra #monsterdon

And how did the musicians learn the summoning-Mothra song without anybody getting suspicious

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

And now we return to This Island's Got Talent with the couple Tisha and Ted. #mothra1961 #Monsterdon

Great.

This song is gonna be stuck in my head for days.

It's worse than freaking Ducktales… #Monsterdon

They are not siren calling who you thing they are siren calling. #Monsterdon

@paco this fairy show got _terrible_ ratings until someone rigged a tv rebroadcast so they could zoom in.

#monsterdon

mosuraaa ya!

#monsterdon

🎶 we're going to sing and fuck you up 🎵

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I think my movie is not the same as some of yours. I'm watching on Tubi. Is everyone else watching on YouTube. What some people are commenting on is different from what I'm seeing.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

should set this song as my morning alarm
#monsterdon

Like, oh you're gonna force me to perform for your profit? Cool, I'm gonna sing The Song That Makes Your Head Cave In. Enjoy! #Monsterdon

I bet this guy's files could embarrass a lot of powerful people. #Monsterdon

Quick cutaway to confirm that yes, our main characters still have faces #monsterdon

“That melody.” “Yes.” #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Hear the song of my people. A song of death and moths..

Rather than sing their song I would befouled the carriage in protest...

#Monsterdon

i thought this guy was going to start asking for money to raise funds for his latest project - language WITHOUT words
#Monsterdon

people, there could be anything in that tiny carriage, you can't see anything. this audience is useless.

#monsterdon

But why the church organ?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I saw this as a kid and I think I blocked most of it out

#Monsterdon

So, to entrall the audience with his tiny women, he has them fly high over the audience in a little carriage. They might as well be dolls. How can they even see them?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I've never said this before with a #Monsterdon movie, but good choreography?

@arrjay No. Because if you misplace it, you just burn them to a crisp. Then no more show. No more royalties. 😃
#monsterdon

"we love you mothra
oh yes we do
we love you mothra
and we are true"

#monsterdon

On the other hand, knowing that the twins are literally summoning a giant monster to kill everyone within a hundred miles of them does improve this scene quite a bit :D #Monsterdon

He's a bastard, a crook, a murderer, and one heck of an MC!

#monsterdon

who made tiny outfits to upgrade the fairies?

#monsterdon

The rotoscoping for the doll sized women is quite impressive. #monsterdon

Time for that patented fairie siren call. #Monsterdon

What is this, the Barbie Pink Floyd concert?

#Monsterdon

"Oh, this little song is cute!" they say as the cute little faerie twins call in a f'n Kaiju to come save them

#MonsterDon

For a "secret fairies show" this is looking like pretty much the opposite of a secret

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Loosely translated "Hey Mothra, we've been kidnapped. Again. Can you come and kill everyone and save us? Much thanks. Love and hugs. -Peanuts." #Monsterdon #Mothra

It's neat that this world has never known stage illusions. #Monsterdon

Song translation: If you want to get eaten by a giant moth, clap your hands. #monsterdon

a modern day miracle! putting on the ritz!

#monsterdon

This song is titled “Mozzerella”.

#Monsterdon

It’s a bop!

#monsterdon #mothra

I want to know how he managed to convince them to perform. #Monsterdon

I heard they're opening for Michigan J. Frog in LA next summer

#monsterdon #mothradon

Well, they gave the kidnapped little women crowns and new outfits. Um, not sure what they are singing, but I hope it's "kill the colonizers".
#Monsterdon
#mothra

this man said いいいいえ

#Monsterdon

Is this... a planetarium?!

#monsterdon

“…is mystery merely a word?”
“Well, yeah, kinda.”

#Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon Are you a boss, or a catfish?

Oh so now we get *diegetic* blackface! #Monsterdon

BEHOLD the power of our greenscreen technology!

#monsterdon #mothradon

King Kong but they're itty bitty #Monsterdon

Pretty sure we're all seeing why he didn't say anything, buddy.

#monsterdon #mothra

LOOK AT MY SEA MONKEYS!

#monsterdon

Ugh. They’re doing a King Kong.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Natto here you come!

#monsterdon #mothra

In old horror movies people are always going to theaters to see scientific discoveries unveiled. Probably because TV wasn't very good back then so there wasn't much else to do. #monsterdon

#monsterdon ahhhh AHHHHHHH🎶

MothRAAAAAA, is a many-splendored thing 🎶

That dastardly Nelson has mounted his own expedition!

You can tell they're evil by their laugh.

Oh, that and the shooting unarmed natives.

#monsterdon

they rebuilt these ceiling fixtures on spec for the show, you know, very expensive retrofit

#monsterdon

The little flying carriage IS a pretty baller entrance. #Monsterdon #Mothra

"suck on this, Disney, we'll show you some anamatronics"

#monsterdon #mothradon

The miracle... of fishing wire! #Monsterdon

I suppose this movie is not efficient enough to kill that prick Nelson first?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

“Everyone of us felt it was best to leave them right where they were” 👍 #Monsterdon

hey! there's our girl!

#monsterdon

The intimidation factor of a bunch of people walking toward you and making noise is significant, but it's not that relevant when your opponents are willing and able to murder you.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Am I seeing Japaense blackface? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon you'd think in these millions of acres of dense jungle the tiny fairies could avoid getting kidnapped by the guy they recognize from trying to kidnap them once already

Yeah y'all are in for a bad time if you use a blood sacrifice to summon mothra

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Nelson's accent really is more Dracula than Japan. #Monsterdon

oh, you done goofed now. Mothra is about to lay some justice down on your asses

#Monsterdon

Wow do they ever SUCK at first contact #Monsterdon

"And now! Two normal sized women, very far away!"

#monsterdon

we live in the atomic age

are these atomic fairies

#monsterdon

this battle sounds like popcorn and hammond organs
#Monsterdon

Yeah, silence as a defense was a great idea, except for THE LEADER OF THE EXPEDITION BEING A HUGE CROOK >_>

These films are always like, "Oh, the reporter shouldn't say anything, it'd be wrong" and it *always* fucks things up. #Monsterdon

I didn't think that Polynesian languages *had* writing systems until the Latin alphabet was adapted for the purpose?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

if that was the atomic age what age is this? #monsterdon

With a crowd like that, they can't be that secret. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

EGG!

#Mosura

lol it looks like the natives are making gunshot noises with their rocks

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

yeah well there's a lot of secret fairies in hollywood

#monsterdon #mothradon

Ope. Now you done did it. Massacre of a heretofore unknown native tribe is sure to piss off the local island-gigantism patron animal. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

Oh and just straight up colonial style murder
#Monsterdon #Mothra

It may be totally unclear how they are all understanding each other but thankfully "evil laugh" is the universal language

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Fairies find that alarm irresistible. #Monsterdon

I hope the inhabitants stick you to a comically large flypaper, sir.

#monsterdon #mothra
