EGGSTREME TRIVIA
🦖On Infant Island, you may have seen the turtle skeleton move a little. This was on purpose and was inspired by a documentary, A Dog's Life (1962), where decomposed turtle remains swayed in the wind.
🐢 Fans ended up calling it SKELETURTLE and it has a cult following. There is even merchandise called "Mystery Bones of Infant Island".
mothra song. hell yeah
I mean, fair. I mean, how many times do they get kidnapped over the whole franchise? #Monsterdon
THERE HE IS! There's my boy! My favorite monster movie background prop of all time.

"Now c'mon, inflict violence on our behalf!" #Monsterdon
@blogdiva This is a movie replete with Good Hats.

@Xucaen Weekly group monster-movie watch! With commentary-along, as you can tell. Follow #MonsterdonAlert if you want to see the polls for what movie to watch next and othet announcements!
I had to start watching earlier than 8CST, but Mothra vs Godzilla was pretty fun to watch. I haven't seen many movies as old as it, so the effects were quite fun to take in. As my first #monsterdon watch, it was great choice. Looking forward to next week's! #MothraVsGodzilla
Fae Sisters: We're so sad that you will all die (or something like that). In song, of course.
I wish they were subbing the song. #monsterdon

Oh is that Nagoya castle? I guess we are in Nagoya. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagoya_Castle
Or WAS Nagoya castle.

Why does that skeletal turtle’s head keep moving? D: #monsterdon
#monsterdon Nice use of contrasting colors.
Imagine if they'd brought red hazmat suits. How embarrassing.
Is brightredface a thing? #monsterdon

@philvuchetich I knew a guy who used to carry around a stick of butter in his pocket and snack from it
eggs aren't even on the radar once you've seen that
And fuck this building in particular #monsterdon
Man this guy eats a lot of eggs. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Who just carries around a bunch of hard boiled eggs in his coat pocket?
Note to self: when designing cities and refineries, check the design for Godzilla tripping hazards. #monsterdon
"How are you?" "Be quiet." nice

#monsterdon Wait a sec, Isn't some 6 yo kid supposed to be the ideas person here? What is going on?
I remember trying to get somewhere on the London Underground - there was a robotic announcement that trains on a particular line were cancelled, complete with pre-recorded explanation - 'unexploded world war two bomb'.
I presume Tokyo has something similar for Godzilla attacks.
@gnomon https://youtu.be/nf7GsKFepDg (not exactly the same thing but the idea is there)
he borrowed those binoculars from the skywalkers
So, Godzilla was sleeping about six feet below the sea bed? In the bay? And he woke up right after they drained the bay for whatever stupid reason I missed?
How did he even know?
#monsterdon
This is what happens when Godzilla doesn't get his coffee.
This Godzilla is way too expressive with his hands, is he Italian
godzilla have a hard time just moving around this morning. i can relate #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Move in day at the University of Tokyo!
Tokyo mayor: Welcome to the rebuilt Tokyo tower ribbon cutting!
Godzilla: Hold my beer
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon aaand tourist season begins
Godzilla just shows up. No reason. No connection to the story. Just wakes up and starts wrecking stuff. #monsterdon
I keep forgetting they know Godzilla and they see a giant egg wash up and instead of thinking "ummm, this could be a monster" they just put it in their version of Disneyland
#Monsterdon
Godzilla has a special scent gland in the roof of its mouth that helps it detect which buildings will make the largest explosions when targeted. #Monsterdon
gojira was just trying to enjoy a day off and have a mud bath at the spa and everyone had to go and ruin it no wonder he's pissed off #monsterdon
What is it about oil refineries? They're like catnip to kaiju. They go straight for them. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Small-town mayors = big-time tyrants, explaining prevalence of Hitler mustaches 'round these parts #monsterdon
Emergency. There's an emergency going on. There's an emergency and it's still going on. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
This guy needs to decide if he's growing a mustache or not.
#monsterdon
🦖It's Stompin' Time!!!
So that's what wormsign looks like!

WHY ARE YALL JUST STANDING NEXT TO AN UNSHIELDED RADIOACTIVE OBJECT NOW THAT YOU KNOW #Monsterdon
"I might as well stop writing!"
"At least you tried."
"I didn't do anything!"
—every one of my writer friends having a midlife crisis
#monsterdon ok now it gets weird
Do you ever feel like the subtitler (the person who writes the subtitles) just kind of gives up on some of the dialog every now and then? Inferring that vibe now. #Monsterdon
Love that the phones are arranged in a ..... little ring. 🥁
where the hell is columbo when you need him
Guessing there will be no happy ending for the happy enterprises happy center. #Monsterdon
That phone doesn’t have to be bright turquoise but it sure is. #monsterdon
I can't get over how the fairies live in a special box that people just carry around like a suitcase. Don't they get all tumbled around in there?
#Monsterdon
The peanuts just escaped again. They’re very crafty. #Monsterdon
If you took a shot every time the fairies say 「卵をかえしてください！」you'd already be dead by this point of the movie #monsterdon
"we won't forget your kindness. mothra will kill you last" #monsterdon
I love this photographer with her fashionable outfits and photo-savvy (light plates, filters, yes flash in daylight, etc.) and jumping right into the water to get the good shot of the storm flotsam from the start. #MothraVsGodzilla #Monsterdon
"Where is The Thing?"
Well it's fighting Keith David and Snake Plisken I think.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon
@Lazarou Platonic ideal of hangry?
you're interrupting our Capitalism, please leave. #monsterdon
Mothra's power of attorney 🤣
I appreciate how greasy these capitalists are. Unusual to find real Captain Planet villains in the wild like this. #Monsterdon
"what happens if we don't" asks the guy who's been in like every godzilla movie ever made and has apparently learned nothing. #monsterdon
#monsterdon I want to visit the Happy Center
@blogdiva In Japanese the name is Mosura #monsterdon
how did you not notice the kaiju sitting there?
Aaaaand once again the brownface. I love Mothra, but seriously guys. Stop. #Monsterdon
Now that I've seen a lot of Anime this all makes sense but when I first saw this movie as a child I was a little unsettled by the fairies.
we have atomic tests! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon so, they can transport?
@Louisa on this episode of Kaiju Egg Roadshow...
the small fairy effect is so well done #monsterdon
Yeah, greedy assholes, ignore the plea of the fairies! Nothing bad could ever POSSIBLY come from ignoring the pleas of Mothra's fairies!
damn, i need an office cabinet full of yen. i'll even take the tiny twins that come with it if i have to. #monsterdon
“It’s wrong!” My ladies are here!!! #Monsterdon
I want the woman to team up with Mothra & Godzilla and stomp all of the men in this film. And we're only at minute 11.
(I just got the blowing cigarette smoke at her camera scene)
as if the mustache didn't mark him as an asshole. #monsterdon
@fen why hasn't anyone licked it yet?!!
#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
#monsterdon Clean the nicotine and spit off the lens
That is an unfortunate mustache mister suspicious priest with a creepy grin.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon
Unexpected fill flash
Beeg Egg.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon
SO
MUCH
CHOLESTEROL ! ! !
The news guy eating hard boiled eggs is awesome foreshadowing #monsterdon
"Yep. It's asbestos. You're gonna need abatement."
Love the giant crowd lining up single file to look at the Egg. Very organized.
#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla
Happy Easter, I guess. #Monsterdon
okay, this movie got started pretty much straight off. good for it. #monsterdon
@lytta yeah i end up tooting less when i'm watching with subs! #monsterdon
nobody told me it was a good idea to boil some eggs. now i’m hungry #Monsterdon
i want twenty phones on my desk
That mustache choice is .... awkward.
#monsterdon Like NOLA with the pumps
"Typhoon 8"
They are better named, I get that now #monsterdon
