all those butts in the ashtray, how many takes did this scene take?!

#monsterdon #mothra

Great commentary on the truth value (or lack thereof) of film here.

#monsterdon

"there's no reason, we just want the expidition to be successful." ouch. #Monsterdon

Of course, the polynesian natives are descendants of Atlantis.

#Monsterdon

lmao these gaijin speaking Japanese so dramatically #monsterdon

Mouse needs to learn boundaries #Monsterdon

Bulldog loves his smokes. He’s the Sean Penn of Japan. #Monsterdon

"thank you, young lady" - the most american thing in this fim, i predict. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Indoor Smoking.

But.

No Atlantis on my bingo card.

Somewhere Alice Cooper is scribbling down "Guillotine camera! That's brilliant!"

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Making calls that it will be only the children that can understand the warnings of the fairies, less confident call that they will become enchanted with some spore or pollen #monsterdon

Unorthodox but effective mouse retrieval work. I'm sure this gag will make sense later.

#MONSTERDON

so, I'm thinking hidden camera lighter? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Thought this movie needed a "doesthemousedie.com" for a second, big relief...

@neia Oh I do hope so :D #Monsterdon

Traumatized mouse rescued from Snapping Turtle's pants leg.

#Monsterdon

WE ARE gearing up for another #monsterdon where the children save the day with some supernatural telepathic link between all children

#monsterdon This mouse scene is weird

This guy's "there's a mouse in my pants" is probably the bit that got him the gig. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Anyone hearing “Jews” instead of “juice”? #Monsterdon

"He's acting funny!"

That's a matter of opinion, kids. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

"Gentlemen!" should be on the bingo card

chiro just wants to be friends. #Monsterdon

Ah the era when you could smoke in the office. A horrible time but damn it looks good on film. Give actors something to do with their hands. Added layers of acting.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

By "Juice" I take it that they obtained an early release of Lizzo's video #monsterdon

@casey I hope there’s no moths in this movie, I don’t like moths #monsterdon

Oh my gosh such a cute mouse friend! We're going to see it menacing the Shobijin, aren't we.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Oh dear. The Children. #Monsterdon

oh look! it's The Plucky Kids! #Monsterdon

When the natives offer you Juice you drink The Juice 🤷 #Monsterdon

that's how i'm going to appear if anyone ever asks me for a media appearance. just stick a giant kanji dictionary in front of my face, go ahead, take your pictures. #Monsterdon

"Whoops, you caught us out testing nuclear weapons on inhabited islands, but what's a little colonialism among friends, huh?"

#MONSTERDON

The guy who won’t let anyone take his picture is very relatable. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Is she trying to dry the ink waving those papers around like that? #Monsterdon

"Virtually" uninhabited?! #monsterdon

They were on the juice! These sailors have been juicing.
How have they not mentioned the natives before this? How many hours have they been in isolation? Days?
#Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon The Jews? Wait, what?

this guy’s Japanese accent is killing me i wonder what this is like in the dub #monsterdon

Of course you've got to drink The Juice.

#monsterdon

oh I do like that it was a "...wait, natives are on the island?" revelation. #monsterdon

Infant Island has natives (and red juice) ... like the nickname "snapping turtle" for the reporter.

#Monsterdon

so gilligan and his crew drank some Red Infant Juice and survived radiation that should have killed a normal man. okay, gotcha. #yikes #Monsterdon

MAN that guy is square. Shame he was born so long ago, he'd be great for a live-action Spongebob. #Monsterdon

@moira

kaiju 🤝 orcas
fuck boats!

#monsterdon

The Juice? The Juice and The Peanuts! Hoo boy!

#monsterdon #Mothra

"National Syntheses Nucleus Center" sounds like a mistranslation. #monsterdon

"When will you synthesize that nucleus?"

"Gentlemen, I'm a press officer, I can only obfuscate and dissemble."

#MONSTERDON

Worst.siren.ever. #Monsterdon

Ah an old Godzilla dub. Were these asian actors told to turn up the accent, or some white guys doing Japanese accents? *sigh*
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Oh god, it's the comic relief guy. #Monsterdon

Oh hey! I know how this goes. Whatever you do don't tell them you saw a giant Octopus. #Monsterdon #Mothra

so, they're gonna do some judo later?

#monsterdon

Tell me about your mother.

#Monsterdon

“what exactly is this ‘unusual’ tiredness you speak of” #monsterdon

oh I _want_ those illuminated tables those are COOL AS SHIT #monsterdon

"...here at Radiation Spa, we provide the finest robes"

#Monsterdon #Mothra

They've definitely seen you guys, you can stop waving #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I think so. #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow maybe it was the infant from infant island #monsterdon

let us take some pictures,
nah, the walls are already bare.
#Monsterdon

"a Three...Hour...Tour...'
Three Hour Tour!"

#Monsterdon #WrongShow

rescue...sirens? #monsterdon

weird crying baby sound effect, check. #Monsterdon

What the hell was that "pissed off cat" sound the soundtrack just did? o.O #Monsterdon

Wow, those guys went all Shipwreck Survivor *fast.* #Monsterdon

JUUUUUST sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a

#monsterdon #mothra

🦋 Lost Japanese Boy Band on the rocks.

#Monsterdon
#Mothra

ended up with the dubbed version. this should be interesting.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Man, we're really pushing the "radioactive area" bit.

#Monsterdon

"By now we surely should have seen something."

I know the feeling. #Monsterdon

How much of the Pacific is an atomic test area in Showa era Toho movies? Is this east or west of the matango island?
#Monsterdon #Mothra

"...I've got a bad feeling about flying through this much radiation."
"If it makes you feel any better, we're almost out of fuel."

Damn, these pilots are having a bad day!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

[whistles mash theme]

#monsterdon #mothra

"doo do doo, kobayashi maru... And the Edmund Fitzgerald, toooo" #Monsterdon

my mothra is dubbed. Are these voices white guys with fake generic Asian accents? #monsterdon #mothra

@moira maybe the Kaiju have been teaching the orcas?
#Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon omfg in COLOR and not done via AI? I'm feeling spoiled already...

Man, that was an *excellent* ship breakup! Good job! #Monsterdon

okay, the timing of these subtitles is off, so it's really Listening Practice now. (^_^) #Monsterdon

Players effing off into the sea early this time #monsterdon

my mothers is dubbed. Are these voices white guys with fake generic Asian accents? #monsterdon #mothra

@DinosaurRobo oh no #Monsterdon #Mothra

@joewynne i was trying to remember the city name but my brain just kept coming up with "new donk city" from super mario #monsterdon

Very intense ship captain.

I regret to report that the dub will do these accents the whole time.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

@moira Maybe it's a warning to those with allergies #monsterdon

Zoom in on a meteorologists' heiny... #Monsterdon

The woman. The myth. The Mothra!
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Johnny Yuseph, the requisite One White Guy #Monsterdon

OH that was the name of the mothra fairies actress's _band_ okay

#mothra
#monsterdon

also points to the pluto tv thing for just letting me jump straight into watching, this one is new for me #monsterdon

Slow credits so I have time to post a photo:

#Monsterdon #Mothra

The Peanuts?

#monsterdon

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net It's like wormsign, but instead of spice, you get radioactivity and some remnant micro-oxygen.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I’ve got to pay attention, my nephews are gonna quiz me about this over the holidays. #Monsterdon #Mothra

The opening credits refer to the fairies as "The Peanuts?" Never noticed that before #monsterdon

And, time for mothradon! #monsterdon
