@Louisa We had to import the 1970s male mindset into the future, to translate confusing sci-fi futurethought for the 1970s audience. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
Okay, it's safe to unmute everyone, the scary Gene Roddenbery pilot is over. #Monsterdon
CAN'T WE JUST GET BEYOND THUNDERDOME?
And #Monsterdon groaned a collective, "Jesus..."
I don't think renewing the air and water in Albuquerque would be enough to ever make it green.
The tribble with eyes and feet has healing piss... eww.
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
Unsolicited dink pics.
One thing we can definitely say about Planet Earth is that, if it had gotten a series order, there would have been a character named Noonien Singh or thereabouts sooner or later #monsterdon

and in 2011 he was STILL thinking about it

@xerozohar The thing about Gene is he really did need someone to keep a tight leash on him.
...okay maybe i won't use THAT metaphor again but you get what I mean >_>
No, really, Le Guin wrote a short story about the Ekumen running across a woman-dominated society, called "The Matter of Seggri" and it won the Otherwise Award.
So if you want to see this trope handled by someone who knows what they are doing, look it up.

Belvera's cyborg dragon mount got an upgrade.

One pedantic thing I always wonder about in post-apoc fiction :
It's neat that they converted the cars to wood-gas. It's pretty much the only automobile fuel that you could realistically manufacture off-grid.
But ... where did they get the vulcanized rubber for the tires?
We have ET at home?
#Monsterdon #RebirthofMothra2
@apLundell I was wondering about this when we saw all the main women gathered around a table towards the end, and there were, what, eight of them?
@diazona No chance with this one. #monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
imdb thinks Planet Earth (1974) was remade as Strange New World (1975) also starring John Saxon playing a character who wakes from hibernation ???
can someone who went to film school explain this
@Newpa_Hasai
Was the dialog surprisingly good?
I suppose if you compare it to One Million Years BC.
I don't think it had dialog.
#monsterdon
Seriously, tell me this is not the vision gene was striving for (at least during the small portion of the movie when his dick wasn't out) #monsterdon
#monsterdon pikmin?
Anyway, good job again launch team, another movie launched into space, and Flight Control informs me it _will_ dive into the sun. We've saved Earth from this one for sure.
And thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always.
@bunnyhero @bk1e @LingLass @diazona #Monsterdon got shooters out here π«‘
@moira π nice one
Should have watched the Grammys #Monsterdon
Yes, men are back, baby!πͺπ«Ά
I did manage a bingo out of this mess
@Bluedepth She was on a mini screen for a minute or so. #Monsterdon
This movie is terrible, but I regret that Ted Cassidy didnβt get to do this role again.
@diazona π You left An Amusing Moment! π
Thanks for the FANTASTIC post #Monsterdon Mothra Tamagochi ad @ryan NOW I WANT ONE :blobcheeky:
@Louisa nobody knows. My guess⦠the 70s.
And by the way, Gene:
#monsterdon
I don't think i've ever seen #monsterdon so unanimous about fuck that movie lmao. we do it to ourselves. thanks @Taweret for hosting, we love it because it sucks even when it sucks
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza It was a very strong contender, but it makes up for the terrible (gestures at everything) by being 74 minutes, not 2 hours 31 minutes.
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
wanted to post this contemporaneously but airplane wifi was too flaky #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Planet Earth was the worst script we've seen in a while. Even if it was competently produced and acted.
#Monsterdon
Thanks to all of you #Monsterdon people for being here for this one. I couldn't have taken this movie without you all here suffering with me! π€£
And for the relatively large number of women in this movie, it still managed to pull a Bechdel fail. Right? I mean I might not have noticed it? #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
I was close for a long time but no bingo π’
@ramsey the two fisted punch is what founded the Federation! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon AquaMothra!
Was that the trailer? Does this mean that the Goth older-sister shobijin's baby dragon mount survive the first movie? I thought it was toasted in the first one, if not then that's good news. Poor guy didn't deserve that.
oh wait the soundtrack of the tomagotchi ad, what a nice touch as always @ryan #monsterdon
The Dink's, now sober, have put down the invasion of the Counterfeit Klingons! All SIX of them!
With that the Matriarchy works towards "balance"
THE END
Of the countless #Monsterdon movies, this has been one of them!
Thank you for sharing this regressively progressive Roddenberry err...thing... with us @Taweret ! The younger folk among us now have a better understanding of why TOS and early TNG especially were...the way they were!
i'm not going to stick aroudn for all of the miru stream mothra movie but i will say that the soundtrack is almost exactly the same #monsterdon
@holly@toot.hoppet.cool yeah, it wasnt boring i guess. it was so bad π
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974
Well, that was technically a movie, I think. Maybe? Actually, I'm not even sure.
I'm gonna go eat some garbage frozen pizza and maybe watch some Starfleet Academy or something. Goodnight #monsterdon, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and see y'all next week!
the pater took a bullet only to have to listen to this generic ending of every star trek episode
@Newpa_Hasai Oh well. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth π½ π₯ πΏ
DINK FIGHT
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
β€οΈ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this gender genre grotesquerie!
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Finally a good plan"
ποΈ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays.
π¦And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: That was a lot of intensity! Have a wonderful week! It has to be better than that future. And remember: Of course I want you to touch me. Dink
@YsengrinWolf Mine too
Definitely worst of this year, but probably on the short list for worst all-time too
Oh man o_o
Good thing he went back to Star Trek.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting.
Now on to the Rebirth of Mothra 2 (1997), on https://miru.miyaku.media/ π¦ #monsterdon
Oh thank Pharasma it's over.
This was *painful* but I had a lot of fun thanks to y'all. But it's definitely the Owlbear's bed time.
Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, watch⦠something better than even smarmier than usual John Saxon starring in Gene Roddenberry's My Fetishes.
Goodnight!
the real monster all along was gender roles
welp, that was absolutely without merit
Fortunately we still have time to make sure THAT NEVER BECOMES THE FUTURE
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now time for More Mothra, otherwise see you next week....
Nobody asked for this!
The End
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth
OK, it's got my vote for worst Monsterdon.
I cannot believe what I am watching.
"Our chemical configurations must balance" indeed. π€¦ββοΈπ
THEY KNEW #monsterdon
And so the futuristic dinks fucked off back to their futuristic compound with what someone might confuse for architecture, and Gene Roddenberry fucked off to whatever wet cave he emerged from when he created this piece of work
Diana Muldaur is I think the only part of the movie I liked, but even she couldn't get those limp lines out.
Truly a post-apocalypse story.
that may have turned me off permanently.
"It sounds interesting." It's not old dude. Not even a little bit. #monsterdon
"A thousand new adventures. Enough episodes to make up a syndication package. Please buy this show."
They all survived which is so very disappointing.
Thank you @Taweret for hosting and everyone for participating!
1000 adventures, and you picked the weirdest one to tell us about
#monsterdon
This could also be called "Gene Roddenbery's: A Matter of Seggri" #Monsterdon
That theme song working so hard to not be the Star Trek theme.
#monsterdon It nearly glanced off Creek Secrets on that bed there... ;)
Well, didn't get #MonsterdonBingo did anyone else? #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth π½ π₯ πΏ
let us never speak of this again. please
Whoof. I never want to hear the word 'dink' again. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth
FIN!
That was awful. Ouch!

Well that was fun (the #monsterdon part of the movie)
everyone smirking at gene roddenberry as he hints at how much he fucks, roll credits #monsterdon
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #PlanetEarth, from 1974, was .... something. At least it was relatively short. There was also:
Lurch with a wig!Dinks!Drugged porridge!Bioplastic Surgery!Fear Fascination Syndrome!Gruel Wagons!Dink Fight!
Yep, this sure has been one of them.

Well, that was a thing. #Monsterdon
That last look between the women made me think of an entirely different outcome to the movie if she had stayed behind.
LOL
Dinking off into the planet-spanning subway system. Maybe
...So "Pater" is a title?
WHY?! WHY WAS THIS MOVIE?!
