I like how the fungus wrapping itself around the plane in mid-flight was kind enough to leave the door free
I award Space Master X-7 3 out of 5 mutant luggage monsters. I think the split perspective between Laura and her government pursuers stopped the movie from being boring. Also it was only an hour long, which is a good way to make your monster movie not drag on foreverl.
I'm not sure why they called it "Space Master X-7" and not "Bloodrust.", because the later seemed to be the name that they really wanted to give it.
great, they gave the fungus a bus, now they can't drop below 50mph or everybody explodes
Multi-genre genius!
Monster > Police Procedural > Monster > Airplane Disaster
Also we're out of coffee. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
so sad, all these tweed brunettes we're about to lose.
Oh, NOW we're cooking :D #Monsterdon
@SordidAmok I think it was based on what they found in the suitcase they "decontaminated", that she had bought clothes from Honolulu and Paris
TBH I don't entirely get it either
would modern airplane passengers tolerate this sort of disruption?
Why did they even let this plane fly?
Rattigan, what's going on up there?!
Everybody does exactly what this guy wants. It's amazing
Ratty asked about her coat? How is this relevant?
@moira That, fairly should have been the name of the film
In the latest interview, Army Man explains the deadly fungus to the brunette passenger, giving Laura more worries that she might be running when she shouldn't be running, but she stays quiet.
Army Man goes to the baggage compartment to check for Wrong Brunette's luggage. While he does that Laura asks Wrong Brunette what the deal is and she explains about the space fungus. Then Laura turns herself in. Army Man orders the airplane turned around.
Smoking a pipe in the cockpit. That's the way to fly

#monsterdon Airplane has an echo.
@OldRustBucket lol, it does feel very Airplane! now, expect Leslie Neilson to pop up #monsterdon
everytime they say his the guys name, this flashes into my head
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
There must've been a lot of valuable information in the first 10 minutes, which I skipped
I said "good lookin' brunette".
(makes "chest" motion with both hands)
WE CAN'T FIND HER, GENERAL
(1950s intensifies)
Those old planes circulated so much diesel in the cabin that it would get in your clothes and everything. I remember my dad returning from trips smelling like alcohol, cigarettes and diesel, and he didn't smoke.
"good looking" *again*
mfer is gonna fly to Hawaii on a spore-infested flight. I think I know why you flunked your master's degree.
So the lady at the airline counter is a lesbian, got it.
So, he's going to burn the motel down?
Anyway, Typhoid Laura goes to an airport and leaves on a different plane. Army man chases after her and interviews the counter lady who failed to put 2+2 together and realize that the mystery woman she just checked in was on the plane. Also, she checked Laura's baggage, so it might continue to be a threat even if we catch Laura.
Anyway, Army Man manages to get on the same plane as her as a passenger I guess.
Go ahead, I'll take care of the pulsating mass on the floor.
BOW CHICA WOW WOW.
#monsterdon
Has the fungus actually done anything wrong yet? I mean, it ate the doctor, but that guy was an absent father and a prick
Cops Hate This One Trick… hair dye
We've detected a fresh hole in the ozone layer. We're certain it's a woman using AquaNet to change her appearance
YES!!! She's going goth!
This may be the most average film I've ever seen. 5/10. #monsterdon
Her nose is not "pug" -like at all
I like how this movie has us equally rooting for the feds and the woman they're chasing in more or less equal measure.
Her suitcase is a zero halliburton? Those were extremely expensive. #monsterdon
To escape the dastardly government that she probably thinks wants to kill her but really just wants to scrub her down extremely well to prevent a world ending fungal pandemic, Laura has ordered new clothes and a can of Brunette hair spray and delivered them to her hotel room.
What a weird sign. I got it eventually.
"We have an agreement with the Bank of California. We won't make loans and they won't sell food."
Hopefully they take the cabby to Area 51 and throw away the key
@flowerpot Honestly the whole film could have been cut from the film
"Trans Orient Airways. If you're calling to escape an insidious alien slime, please press one…"
Is this whole movie going to be about chasing this woman and very little about exobiology?
The telephone call scenes are like scuba diving scenes.
I wonder what the Rust Monster is up to?
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Size 10 dress - that'll fit you, John
Just hangin’ out in the rail yard doin’ flamethrower pranks with the boys
"You've reach Trans Orient Airways, again. Please listen carefully as our options have changed since the last person called…"
That's right, take your masks off when the contaminated case with spores in it is opened!
#monsterdon
After burning the suitcase, we soaked it in um... death liquid of some kind to kill the spores, then the feds open the suit case to try to identify the woman. We learn Laura buys clothes all over the world.
Anyway, they find a receipt for her plane ticket showing she flew on a Honolulu-LA flight.
Whole lot of fungal spores floating around in that train car now, eh?
well he walked out alive so it wasn't that like the SCP Foundation...
Do we know what genre this is? Sci-fi? Detective? Freight yard documentary?
They arrested the suitcase #monsterdon
It's a metaphor, echoing the fungus-burning scene!
"We were just outside of Barstow when the blood rust began to kick in"
When filming, choose noisy locations like the junkyard by the freeway/airport
#monsterdon burn the train car! burn the tracks! do the thing!
Aw gee, I caught a lot of things from dames, but never atomic radiation before
So this is less a sci fi monster movie and more a police procedural?
We get a scene where Phone Man (who is named "John" and an Army guy investigate and find a cabbie who took Laura from the Scientist's house to the airport, then take him away from decontamination.
lol, decontaminating the snitch...
Surely nobody would enjoy this movie if they hadn't explained the full technical details of their decontamination procedures
I'm seeing a big blob in a poorly lit room and two jerks
#monsterdon Finally, the good doctor is dying in agony. Good. Die slowly Doc. Screaming.
#monsterdon Love the cab, Red and White, in Black And White. LOL
Hmm, contagious infection? Let's go inside and take a look and see for ourselves.
The taxi driver couldn’t see her because she’s a g-g-g-g-g-girl! A girl in a 1950’s movie!
The science protocol here is casual. #monsterdon
lol, and now we find out why you don't have an exobiology lab in your own home....
Anyway, Mustache Scientist got sick of having his monologue interrupted and decided to talk to his ex-wife, giving her custody of his son, which came in an envelope, like all legal powers do. Then he tries to sexually assault, but she hits him back and he stops.
The next day, Laura apologizes for hitting him because... ugh I don't know... ugh. Then she drives away.
"Hand speaking"
Yeah I've seen Vampire Hunter D, I know how it goes. #Monsterdon
You can't bribe a robot car to never see you, did those tech bros consider that?
I don't think you need to apologize for that.
"I'm going."
Would you like another lump or two? #Monsterdon
Coming in late - do y'all have a dweeb talking about ganglions?
I do like the word 'ganglion' and so does the writer
Mustache Scientist fucks off into his lab and tells the audience that he thinks the red stuff that covers Mars is a "carnivorous fungus" that I guess he got samples of and returned to Earth, a famous good mood.
Anyway, Mustache Scientist is doubly annoyed because while he's monologueing, his ex-wife is trying to adopt her son and also Phone Man is calling him from the rocket base for an update and he would just like to explain the monster fungus to the audience.
"I call this organism 'blood rust" or is it "blood lust" - oh well, something like that.
Well phooey, the file I carefully pre-loaded for #monsterdon tonight - because we're in a situation where I cannot easily download anything over a few kilobytes - lacks an audio track.
siiiiiiiigh
I guess we're missing this tonight after all.
Okay, I sort of hope that Ratigan gets fungus'd
Are they a throuple? Is this a polycule?
"Why should I change?"
With Mitchem, I can skip a day. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon sophisticated martini apparatus
This is the most lines I've ever seen Paul F. have in a movie and he's a total tool. Boo. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
"Oh, Ratigan. Not tonight."
He's got a da- oh he actually does :/
Got riffback on that one :/ #Monsterdon
what SHENANIGANS is this guy going to get up to with SPACE STUFF in his lab ALL NIGHT baby?
Yes, the Earth bores me and I want to see more.
Ah yes, a sample of vacuum
Please stop sending your monkeys into orbit. Monkeys hate orbit!
#monsterdon
no, buddy. I don't think that's the purpose of the film I'm about to see.
Credits go nyoom ominously
How do you adjust the tracking on an mp4
You stand facing two doors
Behind one lies questionable movies, wild sh*posting, and the characters who make up #Monsterdon
Behind the other lies a muted tag, a peaceful evening, a rest from the frantically updating feed
Only you know which door is right for you
#monsterdon WHOOSHING. So much whooshing.
lel it'll only take you like a month to go to the moon.
Guilala seems like a “fun guy”
