@RobynGoodfellow "The Magnetic Monster" at least had decent effects. X-7, not so much.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

So! Another film successfully launched in this case _back_ into space, hopefully all spores dispersed. Great job, team, and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Classic standoff—scientific hubris vs frantic detectives vs oblivious social narcissism. Thanks, @Taweret, for a great #Monsterdon

Big thanks to @Taweret for the film tonight; the second unofficial feature looks like a better film, but I'm off to bed.

At least we had both smoking *and* coffee! And a monkey, semi-traumatized. A nice police procedural with a side of space fungus.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@kcarr2015 @hollie @diazona

And the baggage guy on the train

#Monsterdon

@kcarr2015 @hollie At least we were fortunate enough to get that

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

is krankor in this one? he's always good

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

The movie sped right by the airplane having a "lounge" so fast, I almost missed that it was very clearly just a seating area for people waiting in line for the lavatory. #monsterdon

@floatybirb fuck the people on the plane, what about the monkey?! #monsterdon

Remembering that Avi Loeb is not an Exobiologist, when I say the Doctor in that movie was the worst Exobiologist ever.
That who sequence of events would have been avoided if they just didn't let him take the sample home with him to play with. The extent of his attempt to stop cross contamination was 'a glass door.'

#monsterdon

@diazona 😂

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

My review on #letterboxd took this to task for excessive use of dull activity in what was supposed to be a weird science fictional tale. At least Mr. Voiceover quit after the first 20 minutes. One and a half stars https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/space-master-x-7/ #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Valid.

#monsterdon

@hollie yeah seriously!

They totally should have tried building a giant automatic cat feeder that drops a couple suitcases three times a day and it would probably chill there

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Well, I have come to accept that there is no more movie, and in fact the thing Tubi switched to is a completely different film. (Also about mars, though.)

Have a great week everyone! Thank you @Taweret for hosting once again.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Hey our feature tonight passed the #BechdelTest too - The scene at the airport check in counter was two women talking and it wasn't about a man.

All in all a pretty good feature tonight.

#monsterdon

@hollie @diazona It just had a thing for a really nice carryon.

#monsterdon

Sometimes I worry about my memory, but then I realize I watch way too many B movies and most of them are largely indistinguishable. #monsterdon

I think the company that made this movie is mostly known for distributing anime. Like the theatrical movies of the original Gundam.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

#monsterdon There we go. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. It was sufficiently gloopy. Thank you @Taweret!

I don't have work in the morning, so I'm going to tune in to the double feature stream.

#monsterdon

Wait, did fire retardant used to kill plants in the 50s?

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Wow, um... that's the end, huh? #Monsterdon

Ok.

Ah, and the #monsterdon
#spacemasterX7 ending reveals the origins of planes landing, putting citizens in busses and driving them off to unknown parts.

It was all in the script in 1958.

Nothing to see here, move along....

Is this movie also about a blonde lady's taint?
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

Sorry, that was *asshole* doc.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon So far I like the Narrator better in the double feature, she seems like the type who would laugh and softly fake-punch you in the arm if you believed something other than only the truth. The theme song is kind of bangin' too.

@Newpa_Hasai I feel that

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Technically, if the plane crashes and explodes, doesn't that solve the problem? #Monsterdon

No #monsterdon bingo for me tonight, #spacemasterX7 delivered entertainment expected of a B movie, but not much more.

@moira

sharply *PARTED* hair,
and I think Dr. Rapey definitely qualifies there

#monsterdon

betcha the foreign westerner is the real monster.

#monsterdon #wrongX

@plaidtron3000 your version too, huh? #monsterdon

@srol yeah, i was enjoying it up to a point. i liked the detective work angle. but yeah it didn't know how to end #monsterdon

Yes, because tightening the screws will keep it contained. #Monsterdon

I expected a sudden ending but... was there an ending?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Are there any beautiful brunettes in #Monsterdon ?

And while you're here for #Monsterdon, don't forget to check the #WorstMonsterdon hashtag and vote in the finals!

@Taweret Particularly liked how the soundtrack was also building up to something, as though it wasn't anticipating the cut off, either.

Guess it was building up for the text reveal of THE END.

#Monsterdon

Who let a photographer all the way to the door of the plane? And why didn’t he have a functional flash? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

That was not the worst movie we’ve watched, and blessedly short.

That’s all I have to say about that.

#Monsterdon

Replaying the start: “it will tell you what you must know in order to survive” #Monsterdon

Excuse me what
#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I agree, that's what happens next! #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Toho made Godzilla.
Daiei made Gamera.
Toei made mostly Sentai and Kamen Rider but some movies.
And then there's whoever the heck made Guilala~
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace

#Monsterdon ITS NOT A SHIP

The moral of the story is that everyone assumed the fungus was from outer space, but it was actually from the douchey Dr. Pommer so ordinary medical procedures are able to deal with it. I guess. #monsterdon

This 'point of no return' business is completely bogus in the absence of their establishing that there are things they can do in L.A. that they can't in Honolulu.

#Monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

#Monsterdon

"Try to keep the Blood Rust confined to the baggage compartment."

I'll get right on that by smoking a cigarette

Well, that sure was a movie. LOL! Nothing like what I expected from the title. I guess if nothing else it managed to surprise me in that way.

Thanks as usual to @Taweret for putting all this together.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

And nairy a drop of coffee was consumed. No Bingo for me tonight :(

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

That one felt a lot like "The Magnetic Monster." Lots to riff on at least. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants and a great holiday for those celebrating. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@APBBlue true dat

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Everybody out of here? Out of the plane? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Mill around standing during a belly landing is just the thing
#Monsterdon

Um, what happened?

#monsterdon

It was all about the ignorant woman, always trouble! #monsterdon

Wait—that’s it?? #Monsterdon

wait. that's it?
we don't even get to see fungus fucking off into the sea?

one star minus.

#monsterdon

And they lived happily ever after.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

REFUND #Monsterdon

Wait, that's it?

…

They all hopped a bus and fucked off to decon?

…

Okay.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Next time, use bleach.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Holy fucking shit! That was... I mean that was... what was that!?

#monsterdon

"Try to keep it contained to the baggage compartment."

Me, when I'm holding in a shart.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Um, that’s one of the most abrupt endings we’ve ever had. And that’s saying something

#Monsterdon

not a lot of hazmat stuff. you know, the whole reason you were landing there to begin with. not a lick of NBC gear...
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon

And they fucked off onto the tarmac..

Don’t let them out. We just have never understood airborn contagion #Monsterdon

So... what ever happened to the fungus?

#monsterdon

WHAAAAAT !?!?!

RIP OFF!

#monsterdon

Wait, there's no fungus all around the outer shell of the plane? What a joke!
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7

and then they all fucked off into the emergency decontamination facility #monsterdon

Huh

#monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

Oh no they are under attack from a slimy tarp!!
#monsterdon

...wait, what #Monsterdon

??????

#monsterdon

(sirens wailing)

Oh, yeah, so is the audience!

#monsterdon

*shakes fist* #monsterdon

Wait what, that's it? The movie just ends with a plane load of exposed passengers departing to go spread spores #monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

ah, the first co-opting of accident footage for a movie (probably not) #monsterdon

Ope, gotta decon the whole plane now. Decon it right into <redacted>.

#Monsterdon

Everyone remain calm. There's a fungus among us.

#monsterdon

So yeah, why is it no longer ungulfing the whole fucking airplane? #monsterdon #spacemasterx7

@ricci I guess it was already on the continent

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@Violinknitter

Don't worry, just Oxnard

#Monsterdon

"This isn't Hawaii...."

#monsterdon

And then the bus explodes. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

please, passengers, no screaming. The screaming will not help and it's extremely annoying

Whoops, back to stock footage, huh?

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

There was a mushroom on the wing of the plane! Matango really escalated.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

#Monsterdon it's.... it's not a ship

it's a plane

Just a reminder, the name of this movie is "Space Master X-7" #monsterdon

I guess depressurization at 18k feet (or lower) is a bit different from modern jets.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Don't flush the toilets!

#monsterdon

It looks like they're being attacked by an air kracken, which would be COOL

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Nice found footage!

#monsterdon

[all screaming] #monsterdon

Must be a JetBlue flight.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

That was both a convincing effect and kinda hilarious.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
