we do have a space force. i keep forgetting that. but we do
I have to admit, I kind of like this representation of wireless phones with the antenna on the receiver.
#monsterdon A cloth helmet, makes sense
SPACOM #Monsterdon
USSF SPAM TON #monsterdon
they're still just on their 3rd space trip! Brave....
You can tell its the future because of the stupid hats
Should I count the epaulets in pairs or each individual one? #Monsterdon
The Future Seventies had such Advanced Wireless Telephony #Monsterdon
official car official car #monsterdon
Hey, I kinda like that background. Not a bad matte painting :D #Monsterdon

Enemy of Freedom PUNCH!
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
Some pace on this, we'll be on the Moon in about 90 seconds more I think
Mr Roundtree with the rogue sneak attack with the +1 Sap of Bludgeoning
Yes sir. I'll call you an Uber sir. Then we can go buy ascots together.
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
These spies were born in barns, since they don't close doors as they do their capers
@moira It's never enough though
Propping the broken table up with a trashcan. Classic!
you've known your job how many times now?
"Strip him lads...."
@davesdogmaggie I think that should count as like 16 ways depending on how many bombs there are
Was that a potato? #monsterdon #projectmoonbase
Dr. Exposition Wernher
1/6th of the movie over and not ONE MOON BASE!!
#Monsterdon
(slow, labored music) #monsterdon
i would go with the bomb room strategy but that's just because it seems rude to waste the bomb room if they went to all the trouble of setting one of those up #monsterdon
EPAULET SPOTTED :blobeyes: #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon What is it with this Roundtree guy? His office is a living room. His conference room is a hotel suite. I'm not sure I want to see his bathroom....
Let me get this straight⦠one of the two ways to blow up the space station is to⦠blow up one of the onboard bombs?
is it just weird sound design or is that a dub
oooh, an _official_ car. now who's gonna have the big head?
remember the good old days when spying on someone required all this planning and covert ops? These days all you gotta do is buy the info from Facebook #Monsterdon
every time i watch these movies it takes me by surprise when they have to strike a match to light a cigarette
#monsterdon
Actor who played Roundtree "What's my motivation?"
Director: Imagine a very short elm tree is trying to stop a space station. Just as wooden as you can get. #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
Ok, a bit behind, but joining in now with @rockario and @kit #Monsterdon
Pffft, I can think of like half a dozen ways to destroy a space station, and that's just physically. #Monsterdon
Also Mrs. Roundtree:
"Edwin! Tell your friends to go home. I don't care if you can't get a guy to destroy the space station, the grass needs mowing!"
#monsterdon "Now if you'll excuse me, my coffee is getting cold" /dips immersion heater attached to phone headset into a mug
ah yes the moon ship #monsterdon
you know you're job?
yes i know.
great, i'll tell it to you again.
#Monsterdon
They can only eavesdrop to one side of the conversation. This was pre Patriot Act.
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net Oh it's fine, they designed non-combustible rocket fuel!
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
"Hope to see you soon, sir! Nyyyyuhbye!"
Dr. Werner is VERY midwestern :D #Monsterdon
@srol project nude dance #monsterdon
Surrounding the hotel with a cordon of operatives, yes this is definitely a highly secret and tightly controlled operation
"Why is General Green so green?"
"Somebody peed in his canteen!"
@apLundell A WATERMARK #monsterdon
...the CRAVAT...
#Monsterdon
#ProjectMoonbase
Look at my ascot! Isn't it wonderful? I can't hardly tilt my chin down! #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
I hope he doesn't smoke like that on the launch pad
The antenna on that cordless phone π #Monsterdon
Everyone's suits are so ill fitting lol #monsterdon #projectmoonbase
theyre really getting a lot of money out of their anonymous hallway sets left over from Alfred Hitchcock Presents #monsterdon
What are those rings on the phones? They look like a safety measure to keep someone from passing out on it. #Monsterdon
telephones... of the future! they have bunny ears!
Where's the directed energy weapons? They've gotta cause Havana Syndrome somehow... #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
Dr Werner von wait...
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
That phone is chefβs kiss. #Monsterdon
Uh oh THIS guy can count!
They call me "Werher, Doctor Wernher". #monsterdon
rotary phones! of the future!
incredible tie situation on this guy #monsterdon
Chubby ties
#Monsterdon
Dr. Wernher has big Operation Paperclip vibes. #Monsterdon
Love the combination wireless telephone and egg beater.
oh hey i have been there, thats the continental on knob hill #monsterdon
"Get a room as close to him as possible. Preferably next door."
Ask if you can use the honeymoon suite. #Monsterdon
Did M.C. Escher paint that horse!? #monsterdon
We've got operatives that look identical to the top 300 scientists... unfortunately, half of them failed science, and only about five of the speak English FREEDOM LANGUAGE
#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
Oh thank God, we still have weird fever dream chalk pastel art of horses in the far off year of 1970
Hmm. _Pretty damned sure_ that all this setup with planting the secret agent got cut out of the MSTed version. π€
Serious question. Is this Mr. Roundtree's office or his living room? I keep expecting Mrs. Roundtree to walk in and tell him to take out the trash. Edwin!!! Take out the trash!
#Monsterdon π π π±
The horsie picture in the background is very nice!
the far-flung future of 1970 #monsterdon
Give me a W! Give me an E! Give me a E-R-N-H-E-R! What's that spell? #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
We want to use total surveillance to undo that big surveillance in the sky.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon you mean Dean Wurmer? Oh they spelt it for us, wrong guy. Wait, is that Rick Beato?
I like the painting of the nude couple dancing astride a horse in the background #Monsterdon
yes. barely noticeable differences!
you cant fix hair that shitty tbh #monsterdon
Who owes their large pensions to Dr. Wernher?
Operatives who resemble leading scientists
Wow, scientists were really hot stuff back in the day
Nice of him to interrupt his meal to appear in this movie. #Monsterdon
That's not radio. that's an AI box! #monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
spelling it for all the agents listening in. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon movie start time followed immediately by 100 toots.
#ProjectMoonBase π

Wow time is flying, blame the boys at CERN #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ProjectMoonbase
lol, off he goes! Back to his future mop
nice horse painting #monsterdon
@douglasfur Getting our info not from random numbers but movies
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Why do the guys in the corner keep giving Roundtree the side eye? Is it his tie pin?
What if this guy speaking was the cleaner?
