i mean i guess it killed those guys but still
Something killed the men who just went in and the guy they first found. Liked how they did a pan from the outside of the engineering office following everyone to a meeting in the board room. #monsterdon
lmaooo hell yeah #monsterdon
Oh cool I think it's modeled on a hellgrammite #monsterdon
ok the foley artist really misunderstood the assignment and gave the giant ant thing a steam-powered bird voice. #monsterdon
@OldRustBucket actuallly...... #monsterdon
You guys are too judgemental, try diplomacy with the hideous larvae! #Monsterdon
giant bug monster did nothing wrong
Did not expect this guy. Is this an ancient enemy of Rodan situation? Is his larval form somehow a bug?
Is that Goro?
#Monsterdon Man, those cicada larva grow big in Japan.
Flooded mine and creepy squeaking noises is unsettling.
Oh they were pulled to their doom. This is a really horrific opening in Japanese.
But of course my dumb old brain is just thinking of classic Doctor Who set ups.
#MONSTERDON
i also like that when someone shouts "it's a monster!" no one here disbelieves it. it's just something that happens in these parts #monsterdon
There's a giant grasshopper on the other side of the hill. They're just having a picnic! #monsterdon
now this is a good sound stage
#monsterdon
LMAO THAT GIANT BUG HOLY SHIT
Just when I was wondering when it would stop being a melodrama about the pretty girl's missing brother
But it's making such cute little squeaky sounds! #Monsterdon
oooh i like that villagers fleeing shot - I'll need to watch an actual good version of this later xD #monsterdon
#monsterdon That was a great monster reveal.
None of this making us wait for 90 minutes before we see the monster nonsense.
This film shows us what we want to see when we want to see it!
Excuse me do you have a moment to talk about Jesus christ #monsterdon
dang that ant thing really fucked up the mood, as unfathomable as it was #monsterdon
Do you want giant killer rubber bugs? Because that's how you get giant killer rubber bugs. #Monsterdon #Rodan
hell yeah
YIKES! #Monsterdon
THREE'S A CROWD, MISTER MONSTER! TAKE A HINT! #monsterdon
Man, those are some really upsetting bucket hats on those reporters. Seriously, I'm getting Invasion of the Neptune Men flashbacks. #Monsterdon
that's just what having a gun was like in the 50's. they hadn't invented aiming yet
#monsterdon
see what i'm saying about the vibes, why is this romantic music happening #monsterdon
Who brings a side-arm to a mine rescue? #monsterdon
once again, gotta bring your hat game to the kaiju movies #monsterdon
The victims were missing their red shirts #monsterdon
Cue the lovely Rodan romantic theme... #monsterdon
They are going in to look for Goro. #monsterdon
Aaaand he floats gently to his death. #Monsterdon
tweets kill #monsterdon
@jonny @emmah That's the opposite of how dubs usually go! #Monsterdon
anyway I started blastin #monsterdon
Yeah man. When someone gets pulled under muddy water the best way to help is to start firing wildly. #monsterdon
People are accusing the missing miner, Goro, of something. #monsterdon
Wait. I don't think I've ever seen Rodan subbed. Have I?
Oh Pluto has ads. Hmm.
#MONSTERDON
@apLundell [whistles MASH theme again] #monsterdon
Yeah, this guy has clearly been "slaughtered like an animal" and "torn to pieces".
"You first." "Why me, foreman?" "It might be booby-trapped." "Oooh." #monsterdon
Really weird to hear a dub from this era including honorifics
the vibes are all over the place, moments after being very sad and mad about his death they just cheerfully directed those parasol ladies into the hospital to go see the body #monsterdon
Oppenheimer (2023)
#monsterdon
Well, that calmed her down. #monsterdon
@strangefour A murder mystery! #Monsterdon
Doctor swaggers in like, "I'm sorry, I'm too *cool* for this death." #monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow Where is the dubbed version? #monsterdon
Dinner and a movie.
And a dead body...
#MONSTERDON
#Monsterdon Get that kid back to cram school.
No wonder the miners had that look on their face going into the mine. Something's happened! #monsterdon
@coriander yeah REALLY have #yikes #monsterdon
Ohao subs~ I have to actually pay attention this week.
#MONSTERDON
The mix of voice acting so far is wild. Some people are doing regular jobs and others have decided to do a really racist job
Woah, they are talking about global warming in 1956, no wonder the US dub is all "lets fire a nuke." #monsterdon
Didnβt have the effects budget to show what was going on with the floor I see #Monsterdon
oh no, did somebody delve too greedily and too deep, huh? πΏβ
#monsterdon
You know you're in for a good time when a film opens with atomic test footage.
it's funny that everyone keeps mentioning the narrator because the japanese version has no narration at all #monsterdon
Boy, all this minutiae of mining sure is fascinating #monsterdon
I love the pompadour on that guy who answered the phone. #Monsterdon
Are they dubbing the stage directions?
#monsterdon
i want a job where i get to ride a lil train everyday
I *am* glad i spot checked the dub and edition differences so Iβm not totally thrown by people commenting on dub-only stuff for #monsterdon lol
Well dagnabit the version on HBOMax is the original subtitled in really good quality. NO GOOD. Now syncing up the dubbed, narrated voiceover version. #monsterdon #rodan
the narrator seems proud of that bomb #monsterdon
Now kiss and make up, you two. #Monsterdon
The vibe here is really making me want to watch some old MST3K shorts. #Monsterdon
Everybody got your handbaskets? #monsterdon
Backstory, and more backstory #Monsterdon
"oh no is that blackface -- oh never mind they're just filthy" #monsterdon
White, Clean, and Neat. I'm not even making that up. I think it's the same guy. #monsterdon
ah well, back to the olβ Rodan mines #monsterdon
Foreshadowing much!!
#monsterdon
I'm straight-up pretty sure this guy narrated a film that later got sampled by Robert Plant. #monsterdon
the announcer sounds pretty happy about all thisa #monsterdon
You don't say "fiver." The point of saying niner is to distinguish it easily from five. #monsterdon
Look out, it's #monsterdon! Mute the tag for the next couple of hours if you don't want your timeline flooded with snark.
Oh I didn't even check if the Pluto version was sub or dub. Well guess I find out after the credits.
#MONSTERDON
"These people will be exploring issues that are teen issues..." #Monsterdon
love when a narrator manages to chew the scenery
Nukes! So Cool!!
#monsterdon
Ah yes, stock footage of white military guys looking concerned, important. #Monsterdon
Love this commercial for nuclear testing #monsterdon
MISSION GIGANTIC is what I call my---
IT BEGINS #Monsterdon
Sure, no one was on the island, sure USA cut...
#monsterdon
aight i'm gonna try the american version because i sort of love the way bad dubs make every movie a B movie #monsterdon
"A tiny island at-oll"
Got my snacks, time for #Monsterdon
Starting off with a real farty soundtrack
There's going to be a lot of "Wind" and "Breaking" gags tonight aren't there. #Monsterdon #rodan
Eager to see if this movie also has a scientist who spends too much time arguing that the monster is not a bird. #Monsterdon
miles away from inhabited land that you can nonetheless see in the background #monsterdon
Hell yeah! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon This background effect is kinda the four color rotating disc that people way back when used for Xmas but much fancier
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
