Godzilla heading towards the petrochemical plant, warning us all.....

#monsterdon

1960s airport smoking lounges were pretty intense. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Lol. fairies got bored of their conversation and just left...

#monsterdon

Rolling about on the floor saying they can see fairies..... they're fucking wasted. #monsterdon

Capitalists being pigs during, before and after the times of Mothra & Godzilla.

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

DON'T TOUCH THE MONSTER DANDRUFF!!!

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon Monster sighting already, five minutes in??

👹🥚

not gonna lie, this is some pretty epic scale model work
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon haha Plex went pear shaped holding this movie on Pause for an hour. So, we reload and regret Plex. LOL. Ah well. Here we go! Despite the bullpockey of Plex. Ah well. On we go!

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight was a battle royale between two headstrong monsters! We had:
* A giant egg!
* Spotted mushroom cap fuzzy fairy hats!
* Hangry Godzilla!
* A SkeleTurtle!
* Mothra dust!
* Gruby silly string!

#MothraVsGodzilla

cunning pincer movement from the newborns there

#monsterdon

why'd you leave those students there dude, what's your story? #monsterdon

#monsterdon The hand-drawn lightning rocks so much better than CGI

#monsterdon Second Mothra fairy musical interlude! (Reprise?)

Infrastructure Porn!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "What is that yellow powder?" "It is the last weapon he has." "Some kind of poison, then?"

Does Mothra go by he/him?

#monsterdon

"Get away from my egg you bitch!" *hissing

#monsterdon #aliens

"Mothra has come"

Another costume change from our girl there, spectacular!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He died covered in money

again with the electric needs?!

Did fucking lockheed go around selling electro nets to the world governments in the 60s?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Godzilla appears to be drunk. We may need an intervention with this Kaiju. :)

#monsterdon This is similar to asking Fidel Castro for help in saving the US

Was 1960s journalism just a lot of sitting around drinking tea/coffee and waiting by the phone?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Godzilla really has some unaddressed hostility issues

@Taweret@octodon.social #monsterdon
Those were definitely serious-work-being-done-here phones.

Capitalists won’t return the egg. Once again the humans are going to deserve what they get. #Monsterdon

they pronounce it Mosth-rah

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if the pixies got paid the same for this, or the left one got slightly more than the right one

#monsterdon they have vanilla cupcake hats

A billion? In 1960s money?
For a giant egg?

#monsterdon

@strangefour Can't believe THAT style was still so popular what with the events of the previous decade.... #monsterdon

Lol, those two may irritate each other now but they'll be fucking on the beach like the others do by the end

#monsterdon

Impressive egg.
What do you suppose is inside it? #monsterdon

Journalists.....reporting *news* ?!?!

No AI generate stories about being offended by taylor swift?

Simpler times

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is gonna be Florida once the ocean gets going. LOL.

I see we’re starting with the sea fucking off into this town for a change. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I wonder if anything bad is going to happen in this film

Hello followers! If you're scrolling back in time on your feed, you're about to run into a bajillion posts about #Monsterdon , a weekly monster movie event on mastodon. If you don't want to see a bunch of yelling about Mothra and Godzilla, you can hide posts with the #Monsterdon hashtag in your filters settings.

The egg eating journalist was robbed of plot importance. We were hoping for some critical egg knowledge. #monsterdon

I must conclude that while I do indeed love Team Mothra, in a fight my sympathies will always lie with Gojira. #Monsterdon

Correct plural:

#monsterdon

These two just fucked Godzilla off into the sea. Babies first big kaiju battle and they won.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon

the Photojournalist Hat Collection

i actually thought she had more than three hats but she just styled them with great outfits. #Monsterdon

And now for the milling about in the lobby period of the evening #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Oh What A Night!

@Tawaret Thank you so much for hosting!

🦖And thanks to all the Real Time Film Analysts for noticing *everything*. Remind me not to date you.

🐛 I captured a few moments here:

Happy Center | Inadequate Mustache | The Egg Man | Tragedy Ballad | Liturgical Dance | Killing for Cash | "You failed" | Butterfree | No-Hole Fairy Box | Exploitation | Suck it Harryhausen | Stick and Move

If those maggots are smart they'll never deal with Humanity again #monsterdon

#monsterdon She looked unsure if she should be waving goodbye to grubs or not

and so they fucked off into the sea as we all hope to one day

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

busting this out for the grub spray #monsterdon

#monsterdon Suduing the G-man with non-lethal weapons isn't easy

Teacher, we'll be late for cram school!!! #Monsterdon

I lived in Japan in 1964 and have no recollection of any of this. #Monsterdon

Commence Plan C…
Run away!!
#Monsterdon

So many models are being set on fire in this one, i love it #monsterdon

Oh, did the elaborate plan not work?
Well well.....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon LOVE those 1960s models, they are so good

@slott56 pretty much every monster movie really #monsterdon

#monsterdon This Mothra appearance just feels like obstruction of justice

Killing each other over who gets to be holding the cash when Godzilla crushes them. This movie goes hard.

#Monsterdon
#MothraVsGodzilla

He Has died of money.
#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon Now for the military fail

@joewynne @Thomas Is #Monsterdon always Sunday at 9 Eastern?

Oh hey look bingo! #Monsterdon

BTW did anybody notice how the gibberish spoken by the noble-savages has english words?

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

wild that this movie is about a fictional version of the marshall islands (ie bikini atoll)... where people who were fucked over by fallout from the US's nuclear tests, and their descendants, are still trying to survive as they now are threatened by anthropogenic climate change- #monsterdon

oooo, she's pulling out the 'Collective punishment' routine, she's good!

#monsterdon

The Skeleturtle mysteriously moving its head is a whole thing. Of course there’s merch.

#Monsterdon
#MothraVsGodzilla

@gnomon Needs a jazz club scene. #monsterdon

egg eating again ahhhhh #monsterdon

"...eggs can't run"
"oh yes they can. Should have seen the ones I got served this morning. Runny as all get out."

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

"I had a terrible time" he says, smiling

#monsterdon

Go home #godzilla, you're drunk. You're just falling into shit. #monsterdon

Wakey wakey - the big G-guy's up #monsterdon

#monsterdon He had to make an entrance somehow.

@paco *Austin Powers music starts #monsterdon

#monsterdon "THE TRUE VILLAIN IS INDUSTRY" ... oh wait no actually it's Mothra

"we won't forget your kindness" i.e. you'll be the only three left alive. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Classic under the table conversation.

I've been studying Japanese, and I'm still very bad at it, but I'm inordinately proud to be able to understand "Mothra tamago desu!" 😆 #monsterdon

Mothra inspires loyalty. There’s an entire community on Infant Island and an entourage of two tiny but tough Shobijin when she’s on the road. #monsterdon

"We pray the egg will be all right"

*scoffs in Atheist

#monsterdon

The lads wore a lot of product in cosmopolitan Japan in the 60s #monsterdon

Oooo, the weird little fairies have turned up.....awww bless 'em! #monsterdon

#monsterdon The newspaper editors in the subbed version from https://archive.org/details/720-godzilla-vs.-the-thing don't know how mammals work... https://archive.org/details/720-godzilla-vs.-the-thing

no one told this guy how dangerous it is to be a greedy capitalist in a mothra movie

#monsterdon

Oh this greedy idiot has murdered them all #monsterdon

#monsterdon wow, a beached egg

Godzilla has attacked my cars extended warranty?!

#monsterdon

BTW - 20,100fps is the perfect sync for the 4k ultra blue ray stream

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Whoa! Big fucking sea egg! #monsterdon

"Holiday resort destroyed by storm"
Awww, how 21st century #monsterdon

And we're off! #monsterdon

update on this: IMDB trivia says they had to build two models of Nagoya Castle and film it twice, and there are guys with big rods trying to help demolish it from behind. Which is why Godzilla looks so determined #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I was gonna post this one with "Nelson: HA-HA" but the moment passed, later I saw that there is actually a tiny fence so it's not really a ha-ha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-ha

@WhiskeySailor Nah, Tokyo got nary a scratch, all out in the west this time #monsterdon

🐛 Also this gem...
'it means no harm but it will destroy everything in it's path' <-- so many ppl I know
