NOW LET THE PHOTOGRAPHER DO HER WORK
Think of the omelette!
that egg is big enough to give me neopets flashbacks... make a BIG omelette #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe *tips hat as they pass each other* #monsterdon
And now, a giant floating egg! Now, on the beach! The only people close to it are the Professor and The Press.
"...giant egg! You are surrounded!"
I gotta love the level of enthusiasm about the giant egg
#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatchReport: They're gonna need a LOT of coffee to go with that egg.
how many movies have we seen this guy in?
EGG #monsterdon
They paddle out to the egg and meet the Welsh islanders from Gorgo coming the other direction :P #Monsterdon
MONSTER EGG SIGHTING!
That Monster Egg Shaman with the paper mop thing is my kind of people #Monsterdon
Never heard this of a giant egg hurting anyone. Letβs bring it to shore! #Monsterdon
Let the photojournalist do her job! #Monsterdon
[whistles the MASH theme] #monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Mmmmm, omelette or poach that egg?
Oh, stop looking at me like that, you were thinking it too!
#Monsterdon
Ah good old Akira Ifukube monster theme music. Love the beefy ochestral feel.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon
Mansplaining, in Japanese #monsterdon
@Taweret@octodon.social God helps those who help the shareholders!
#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Japanese newspaper editor comes across like he ought to be yelling for a plucky young Japanese photographer to take pics of Japanese Spiderman, or something?
the gods will protect you but don't worry, capitalism comes first
God, I do love practical effects
#Monsterdon
No worries, the shinto priest has it under control. See, he's got a bug swatter? #Monsterdon
Thereβs always that one guy who has to eat hard boiled eggs in the office. Donβt be that guy. #Monsterdon
At least in this one they know right away it's an egg. None of that "What's this giant egg shaped thing?" from that previous watch. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Egg Time #monsterdon
Cool Hand Luke could eat 53 of those
egg? egg #Monsterdon
oh yeah. we're gonna have the biggest tamago nigiri japan has ever seen
@RamenCatholic ugh, hope no more tech issues for you tonight, that always makes me cranky #monsterdon
"A monster egg?"
Is it hardboiled? Soft boiled? Over easy? #Monsterdon
The telephone guy needs to calm down and lay off the caffeine #monsterdon
EGGS - foreshadowing!
#Monsterdon She's taking a picture of a music cue?
Some people can't pull off little caps but this lady can #monsterdon
Aka Godzilla vs Mothra for the first time but not the last time.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon
So, how radioactive do you think that thing is? #Monsterdon
the newspaper can damn well make sure to get the right exposure and they damn well will otherwise they may as well run a black rectangle, word clod! now go stick some letters together and let me do my job!
#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch How can she be quick? She hasn't had any coffee!
Let Captain Mansplain take the picture already. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
First critique: as someone who has seen how those tent roof + pole those types of structures behave in windstorms, I expect less collapsing and more hilarious getting blown sideways into things.
The unstoppable might of a storm-wracked ocean, left to right - then briefly opposed by a sunlit scene of large pumps jetting water back again, right to left. Human hubris! #monsterdon
trying to read the subs and #Monsterdon at the same time is going to be a challenge lol
Hell yeah, I love a small set that isn't quite miniature, it's like Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas in here
#Monsterdon MAX version of #MothraVsGodzilla isn't loading π«€ guess we gotta watch it with commercials.
Running 5 minutes behind, now, too π
@trixter The fairies? #monsterdon
They show those pipes and all I can hear is BLEEEEEUUUUUUUGH BAAAAAARF BLEEEEUUUUGH #Monsterdon
There goes the Ninth Ward #monsterdon
Wow, they got destroyed miniature model all over the docks :/ #Monsterdon
Okay, a couple minutes late (one of the remotes here is real glitchy) but we have Toho sign! #Monsterdon
Oh lol I started the movie without subtitles enabled, whoops
#Monsterdon. Don't like the boats rolling over. Happened to my boat in Hurricane Ian.
Beautiful model work. #monsterdon
Maybe itβs the same old recording, but this seems like a particularly strong rendition of the big guyβs theme.
#Monsterdon
#MothraVsGodzilla
oops. guess the picnic's off. #monsterdon
So much for the Edmund Fitzgerald :/ #Monsterdon
@WhiskeySailor@history.lol Whichever we root for, Tokyo's gonna get wrecked.
#MothraCanDoNoWrong #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
What could go wrong? It's complete! #monsterdon
Whoa! Color! #Monsterdon
That is one moist opening #monsterdon
I should have made a Mothra emoji like my :godzillarbg:
#Monsterdon
This #monsterdon has The Peanuts in it? Soundtrack doesnβt bring Vince Guaraldi to mind at all.
rly feels like they wanted to use those terrible pointed brush stroke letters and somebody at toho said "uh, _no_."
it's part of the Criterion Collection. Fancy! #monsterdon
The Mothra Vs. Godzilla overture. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Watching on MAX - Criterion Collection #monsterdon
Very dramatic credits. #Monsterdon
"...it was a dark and stormy night"
#TeamMothra or #TeamGodzilla is the big question tonight
#Monsterdon
American International pictures FINALLY presents an ACTUAL international movie! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Giant raindrops. How you know it's a BAD storm.
(All the Showa-era Godzilla flicks are on Criterion, and there's also an Ishiro Honda collection. Because sometimes you want, like, a forgotten masterpiece of Indian Neo-Realism and sometimes you want to watch a man in a rubber suit punch another man in a rubber suit.)
American International pictures and a storm at sea! Setting the mood right out of the gate, I see.
just mashed play on Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) for #monsterdon. in #4K!
TOHO-TAL DESTRUCTION #Monsterdon
Mothra, Thing, whatever ...
Kaiju! Fae Sisters! Go! Go! Go!
Gosh, I hope nothing happens to the Diet building... We got movie sign!!! #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
