#monsterdon #mothradon

Dude just kinda licks anything he finds, it's a real problem. #Monsterdon

How did the Reporter Turned Guard end up on the island at all at all? Like, wouldn’t they keep him on the ship to keep him out of their hair?

Don’t get me wrong, he’s the second best thing in the movie so far behind the mouse
#Monsterdon

I mean, I don't *know* that it will happen, but it's a safe assumption #Monsterdon

I would love to visit this island 😍

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I don't know that I would trust that guy to shoot a camera much less a gun
#Monsterdon #Mothra

IN THE EMPLOY OF BIG MOLD

#monsterdon

It's a discovery to die for.
#Monsterdon

This island is full of deadly baby radiation.

#monsterdon #mothra

The comic relief in this movie is 💋👌

#Monsterdon

Don't give a gun to somebody that hasn't passed basics firearms training ​:PicardFacePalm:​

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Nothing good has ever happened in a wet cave #monsterdon

gone and got lost in the matte painting...

#monsterdon

Like anyone could hear that twig snap over the birdnoise on an island forest like that. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

Wow that's some horrible firearm discipline. #Monsterdon

Waiting for a plant to attack. #Monsterdon

Though any academic voyage of adventure forces (usually poor) comparisons with the incomparable Marie Brennan's Lady Trent series.

And hey, we have discovered a hidden valley (though that doesn't happen in her book with lots of time on a boat if I recall correctly).

#Monsterdon

@apLundell Sadly the giant rodent kaiju movie was never made in the 60s. Which was probably for the best where the animals concerned.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

HA HA HA HA HA HA yes

#monsterdon #mothradon

@Louisa Makes perfect sense to me.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Never give the comedy relief character a rifle.

sick cold brew setup bro #monsterdon

You can take the journalist out of journalism but you can’t take the journalism out of the journalist.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

My God, fellas, it's a land of purest GREEN #Monsterdon

Don’t eat the mushrooms! Oh wait, that’s a different movie.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Well that big matte painting of a forest sure is going to slow us down 🌲🌲🌲🪴🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
🌿 #Monsterdon #Mothra

"what?"

"this island looks just like a painting!"

#monsterdon

"It took Starfleet six months to hollow out this valley. What's in it - we did in a _day_."

#monsterdon #mothradon

Did we just see Kuni in that group of soldiers? #mothra1961 #Monsterdon

How green was my valley.

#Monsterdon

I wonder what the mouse is doing now...

#monsterdon #mothra

Ah yes, navigation by dishrag

#monsterdon

Holy crap, we've stumbled upon the matte painting forest! #Monsterdon

We should spend more time in monster movies chasing mice around a room #monsterdon

Keep that up, Mr. "Security Guard" and you'll find yourself working for the lifestyle section of the Natto Press instead.

#monsterdon #mothra

If you're a security guard, how 'bout you secure that mouth of yours #Monsterdon

"Gentlemen. We're about to go ashore."

Now remember, if you don't understand it, start shooting. #Monsterdon

“They’re my orders.” ”Then I’ll ignore them.” #Monsterdon

won't someone rid me of this troublesome Nelson...

#monsterdon

@blogdiva
Things I'm missing because I got the dub.

#Monsterdon

Dunno if these suits will protect against radiation, but you can't argue with style

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

LOL journalist promises not to journalize. Sure. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

I have questions about the Riscolan government and why they are doing atomic tests. #monsterdon

Less dialogue, more monster please and thank you.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

But will they be wearing film badges?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

At least there's not a typhoon, right, fellas? #Monsterdon #Mothradon

"No, your _other_ protective equipment!"

#monsterdon #mothradon

#monsterdon so this guy's an ace reporter who can sneak in anywhere but also a buffoon who's constantly knocking stuff over and getting discovered and having mice crawl up his pants?

«Tsuburaya Eiji, warum bist du so roh?
Tsuburaya Eiji
Mein G-tt, und ich liebe dich so
Tsuburaya Eiji, warum bin ich nicht froh?

#Mothra

Bad guy doing his best bad guy look. #Monsterdon

The Man Who Wanted To Keep Secrets

#monsterdon

#monsterdon TRANSFORMERS! Sorry, reflex…

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

somehow I ruined the spagetti (it's gummy?) && failed to get screencasting to work properly, so @jivens and I have had to jump into the movie at minute 10 or something.

Dangit! We need Mothra!

#doomed

"An academic expedition like this should be pure and unhindered."

#mothra

EYEBROW POWERS ACTIVATE

#monsterdon #mothradon

"You don't suppose I'd let you just walk out, do you?"

Turn the bed down first. Then you can go. #Monsterdon

Must have been a slow news day
#monsterdon

Well I did think that until you ask that question like that

#Monsterdon #Mothra

@apLundell@timeloop.cafe Today mascots are very popular, but in the 1960s it was marching bands. A band for every major brand and every town!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Bond. Japanese Bond.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Is that a mouse in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

that's a really clangy gun in that drawer #Monsterdon

Nelson is NOT a nice man...

#Monsterdon

Sen-san seems like meme material

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

"An academic expedition like this should be pure and unhindered"

AHAHAH!!!

(Set up on the big screen and have not been paying attention, but the big screen makes me feel guilty about not paying attention. This is weird and I don't like it.)

#Monsterdon

I'll just sneak on to the expedition ship through this crowd of people...

#monsterdon

i think you'd better detekoi, sir.

#monsterdon

It's a good thing no one ever force filters scientific data in the real world! #Monsterdon

Ah, yes. Pure & unhindered. The first two words which come to mind when I think of the academic world. #Monsterdon

I wonder why they called it Infant Island even when they thought it was uninhabited before they saw the Smol People I think there is a conspiracy here somewhere :blobcatglare: #Monsterdon

No room for the press on the expedition, but we did pack plenty of canvas lounge chairs. #monsterdon

"Is the meeting over?"

"No, I just stopped caring."

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I am suddenly missing the boat fistfight with the monkey aliens.

#monsterdon #mothra

@apLundell "science = beep boop" has leveled up

#monsterdon

#monsterdon 1961, the last time any reporter was curious.

not just any boat leaving the doc, EXCITING BOAT! PARADE!

#monsterdon

From non-believers to revelers!
#Monsterdon #Mothra

#Monsterdon

Well I'm watching along.

Oh what a fun crowd scene. That must have been a blast. #Monsterdon

RE: https://me.dm/@kshernandez/115919290434274636

I Hope Mothra shows up soon. 😣 #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

Boat says #toot toot #Monsterdon #Mothra

I always get that much celebratory fanfare when I leave a place.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Japanese science was set back many years due to the lack of pipe smoking.

itterasshai

#monsterdon

"sus. vv sus."
#monsterdon #mothra

@steggy It did look as though he was trying to eat it like a candy cane. #monsterdon

I am being pelted by allegory. #Monsterdon

Dropping in a little late for #monsterdon but I have arrived to stan a flappy queen.

#monsterdon #mothra

Infant Island just sounds wrong #Monsterdon

@socketwench@masto.hackers.town ​:guillotine:​ #Monsterdon #Mothra

@Ambulocetus we started at the top of the hour, so it'll be however far past the hour. only about 15 minutes in right now. the reporters are sitting in 1960s lounge chairs, Schemeing. (^_^)

#monsterdon

I don't think this actor actually smoked before being cast. He just looks so awkward with that cigarette.

#Monsterdon

@nev@status.nevillepark.ca Yeah, it wasn't until the 90s IIRC?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

see, whatever happened to press cuffs??

#monsterdon

@north Going to mooch over here tonight if I post anything, will untag you.

#Monsterdon

One would think that the notion of miniature people saving the shipwrecked crew may have come up earlier. #Monsterdon

it's kind of surprising admiral nelson's career survived this disaster, but maybe that's why they let him quietly retire to undersea research

#monsterdon #mothradon

#monsterdon "He doesn't look like a scientist"

Yeah, where's his white lab coat? And his crazy hair?

"This Nelson, who is he anyway?"

Oh, some English dude with a column. #Monsterdon

The "legend" that Polynesia(?) was once one land mass?

I suppose in 1961 plate tectonics was still not quite confirmed!

#Monsterdon
