Parallax? No thanks. I'm drawing for a threeofakindallax.

#Monsterdon

Neil DeGrasse Tyson would probably have stroked out at this point.
#Monsterdon

unitless gravitometer can wrap around the zero point because gravity is a cyclical phenomena #monsterdon

Remember in the 1950s when futurists promised that soon we would have gravito that is too cheap to meter?

#monsterdon

@Taweret Taking the ship for a spin around the moon to see if they want to put a downpayment on it. #Monsterdon

Doctor Werner looks like a sinister Oompa Loompa. #Monsterdon

the ship has a proper attitude

i'm glad somebody in this movie does

#monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

i don't remember what they're trying to do tho

#monsterdon

I'm loving the goofy saw on the soundtrack, adds JUST the right amount of Dr. Seuss to this :D #Monsterdon

Dang, the major really wants to show off he's been blasting his glutes #Monsterdon

ah shit we’re all experiencing the ol’ space travel time dilation watching this movie #monsterdon

#BreakfastABookOrStory is now trending across Mastodon

#Monsterdon is now trending across Mastodon

#ProjectMoonbase is now trending across Mastodon

oh no please no more scream #monsterdon

the great thing about people is sometimes they make things, like movies, that are not necessarily good, but they are there making them #monsterdon

That uniform makes it look like she's about to play piano for Dr. Terwilliker. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Cook’s vision #Monsterdon

secret butthole docking bay door

#Monsterdon

"We're going to do a lunar orbit."
"I think we should try a landing."

Did they actually build it for landings? Does it have enough fuel capacity?

#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Little-known fact: this movie inspired the music video for Lionel Ritchie's Dancing on the Ceiling

#monsterdon

Attitude determination 101: name a star and an angle. Don't worry about having some other reference point.

#Monsterdon

Oh, she's got a Virtual Boy! Nice. #Monsterdon

@douglasfur because Feng Shui is the Enemy of Freedom

#Monsterdon

Girl colonels never let us listen to the baseball game ☹️

#Monsterdon

"please do not walk on the walls" listen, i'm volunteering to watch this movie, i'll do whatever i damn well please. #Monsterdon

Sorry, I couldn't resist. #Monsterdon

This is amazing #monsterdon #projectmoonbase

@kcarp @Louisa But that wouldn't explain the "space control to Mexico" conversation would it? 🤷 I dunno

#Monsterdon

The USS Frisbee #monsterdon

More counting!

#monsterdon

Office ergonomics OF THE FUTURE. #monsterdon

You shove off too. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Upside down man sashays, as one does in 0G. #Monsterdon

they have to tell people not to walk on the walls?

#Monsterdon

eye lines extremely do not match

if you want to sell this scene, that's kinda important

#monsterdon

i will say diagonal split screen is an... interesting choice.

#monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

why did they spend all that time explaining zero G when clearly there is gravity it's just in whatever direction you feel like #monsterdon

@strangefour I’m taking notes for robot porn. #Monsterdon

okay, not too bad with the people sitting on the wall tho. #Monsterdon

uhhhhhh why was there a salvation army sign below that door?
#monsterdon

Mustache guy is like "seriously, do you *have* to sit on the wall?"

#monsterdon

Why are you having this meeting like that

#Monsterdon

1) BRIGHTEYES? They named a women BRIGHTEYES?

2) Why is her uniform jacket open?

#Monsterdon

why would you

wait why is the

why would you arrange your office like this

this is bad

this is not good #monsterdon

shouldn't they figure out the whole freefall thing before putting people up there long-term?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

dang those are some short shorts

but I'm pleased that everyone is dressed the same

Desk on the wall. Sure, that makes sense. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

@Taweret she looks good in it #Monsterdon

in the future, everyone loves neck strain

#monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

before jorts, we only had khorts #Monsterdon

What a home run for Brooklyn? Truly this is the future!

#monsterdon

PLEASE do not walk on the walls for gods sake the cleaning WOMAN has enough to do #monsterdon

Okay, the main write is Robert Heinlein, best known for Starship Troopers. I guess we know where the sexism came from
#Monsterdon

I genuinely can't decide who looks worse in their upsetting shorts. #Monsterdon

"Please...do not walk on the walls"

There's a story behind every sign.

#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonBase

So fun that Kubrick did a shot-for-shot remake of that docking sequence...

...and then burned the film, vowing to not do anything like it

#monsterdon

"She's opened her hatch door and I'm going in command. Over."
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Semen hit it!

#Monsterdon

Canada and Mexico have arrived #Monsterdon

sure i WANTED to use the "bugs bunny screaming in a rocket" gif here but did I HAVE it? NO. No, I did NOT. Because I am NOT prepared.

#monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Hey, is their ship just called... Mexico?

#Monsterdon

The sexual overtones are just too much. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonBase

THAT ROCKET IS NOT GOING TO FIT IN THERE #monsterdon

I take back what I said about the pace, we're almost at the halfway mark already and they're only just into space now.

#Monsterdon

hey, that guy earlier lied about being able to walk on any wall you wanted!
#monsterdon

I miss the docking procedure from War Between the Planets. More movies should chuck astronauts at space stations in lieu of actually docking. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon the horn call starting at like 25:00 in, did a Star Trek rip that off?

i have lost all sense of the plot but if all the space shots are going to be diagonal idk if i even want to get it back #monsterdon

Space docking has never been so hot! #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

good they shot the station inside in an angle. because … #Monsterdon

Elevator buttons in the rocket huh

...are we clear on what rockets are?

#Monsterdon

LMAO THE ZERO G SWEAT-SCREAMS

I really didn't expect that lol

#Monsterdon

In SPACE there's no up or down, so nobody knows which way to hold a camera. #monsterdon

This long-range rocket is called "Mexico"?

The Air Force has a weird naming scheme for its rockets. I wonder if "Cuba" is next.

The docking scene is not exactly 2001: A Space Odyssey, bless 'em

Oddly more sexual though....

#monsterdon

If you pull the cord on that space station it spins and says "Cow goes MOOOOOOO!"

#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonBase

Unisex short-shorts and skull caps sure are A Uniform Choice

#monsterdon

The space station is definitely the same model from the general‘a desk, right?
#Monsterdon #projectmoonbase

You know what. For the time that space station shot is really not bad. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

Space Bra defies multiple Gs!
#Monsterdon

In space, no one can hear you sweat.

#Monsterdon

"Space control to Mexico..."

God dammit Lieutenant, I said no long-distance calls! #Monsterdon

These rockets looks like those from the Thunderbirds TV series
#Monsterdon

Not impressed by Jack Seaman writing so far.
#Monsterdon

YEAH THERE IT IS

you know its in space because its TILTED like a bad pinball table #monsterdon

#monsterdon The forces of gravity on spacecraft takeoff have been known to transform ordinary men into Jim Varney. The only cure is pressing every elevator button.

The ship is called ... Mexico????? #Monsterdon

The 50's must have been a great time to be a Theremin player in Hollywood. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

#monsterdon

These model sequences of takeoff are a close second!

As is the fact that there are two dudes as "mission control" giving them just a 10-second countdown

@peachfront (no this was actually never explained as far as I noticed)

#Monsterdon

Colonel didn't even break a sweat! What a pro! #Monsterdon

Apparently rocket launches induce night terrors and profuse sweating #monsterdon

That rocket blast was so dainty!
#Monsterdon

Oh no, the acceleration juiced him!

#monsterdon

The rocket gets into orbit and a bunch of towels pop out of the wall automatically #Monsterdon

The one thing SPACOM culture got right was astronauts screaming all the way to orbit. NASA should follow suit.
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

no one wants to see sweat orgasmic open-mouthed screaming #monsterdon

I need to read some history of this shitshow. Good lord. I blame Heinlein. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase

@peachfront because it's made of cheese but aliens microwaved it for nachos

#Monsterdon

well....at least it doesn't look like a penis.....

#Monsterdon

🎵 My uniform shows off my thighs
🎶 'Cause I'm Colonel Bright Eyes

#monsterdon

I love how pre-Apollo science fiction always assumes that a blast-off would be an excruciating procedure. #monsterdon
