heyyy! another sumo fan!! great end to the tourney, huh?

See, I kinda wanted to see the Oxnard Space Fungus go on a rampage like this....

#monsterdon #wrongX

meanwhile, back in Cardboardia

#monsterdon #WrongSpaceMaster

If they had some space fungus, i bet they could patch up that hole in their spaceship.

that's what the last movie was missing! People bathing together!

@kcarr2015 @floatybirb "they never found the plane wreckage though, they didn't investigate, said it was 'National Security' ...but I know the truth!"

Already a better movie #monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret. That was the movie equivalent of “the food is terrible… and such small portions!” But fun!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@Lazarou @floatybirb
I get the impression everyone on those buses is about to meet Space Monkey. 😬

The audio connection is low priority. It has to give priority to the bossa nova music.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

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

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

@forestine @combatwombat @miru Honestly, having a procedural part was fine. But it felt like it should have been a much smaller part of the movie. Like, figuring out what the fungus is, how it kills, and a method to stop it all ended up being reduced to a few lines from that one scientist and that apparently "normal" decontamination works fine.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@Lazarou yeah it kind of just used space as a framing device.

also the space monkey didn't show up again. that was a mistake.

#monsterdon

@diazona I mean really it seems like throughout the movie all it really wanted was luggage, it wasn't trying to be rude or anything

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Did we ever figure out what the Space Master was? Was the monkey the Space Master? Or was it the fungus? #Monsterdon

@wrog It was all so Police Procedural that nobody seemed to get angry - but I forgot, Dr. Rapey got angry!

Did anyone really have sharply pointed enough hair though? I didn't think so.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@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

I was distracted by a cat and missed the end

#monsterdon

@moira

you forgot to mark Abrupt Ending, Someone is Angry! and Sharply Parted Hair...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love how they diverted them to oxnard instead of going back to lax

@CactuarJoe it was That Bad actually, but not The Worst.

#monsterdon

@jonny maybe the real space masters where the friends we made along the way

#Monsterdon

4/5 of a thanks to @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting, because that was 4/5 of a movie

See y'all next week! Unless you are joining the double feature on @miru

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

No budget for a denoument I guess?

"...and everyone was 'decontaminated'.....and by that I mean executed and then a plane crash arranged as cover...The End "

#monsterdon

wow, i mean some of these movies have Simply Ended, but that was a real brick wall.

#monsterdon

Yeah this was just The Magnetic Monster with even worse writing and more stock footage. #monsterdon

waaaaaat

that's it

whaaaaaaaaa

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

I like how the fungus wrapping itself around the plane in mid-flight was kind enough to leave the door free

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

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.

#monsterdon

great, they gave the fungus a bus, now they can't drop below 50mph or everybody explodes

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@ricci I guess it was already on the continent

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Multi-genre genius!

Monster > Police Procedural > Monster > Airplane Disaster

#Monsterdon 🍄 #SpaceMasterX7

Also we're out of coffee. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

so sad, all these tweed brunettes we're about to lose.

#monsterdon

Oh, NOW we're cooking :D #Monsterdon

they're gonna burn the plane on touchdown

tough luck for the pasengers but

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@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

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@paco @sean It is, and don't call me Shirley!

#monsterdon

would modern airplane passengers tolerate this sort of disruption?

Why did they even let this plane fly?

Rattigan, what's going on up there?!

#monsterdon

Everybody does exactly what this guy wants. It's amazing

#monsterdon

Ratty asked about her coat? How is this relevant?

#monsterdon

@moira That, fairly should have been the name of the film

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

Smoking a pipe in the cockpit. That's the way to fly

#monsterdon

Fungus! In the luggage compartment! With the... hmmm. Threatening heaving?

#monsterdon

Note: The #LHThanksgiving tradition started by our friend Steve will continue this year on 11/27 at Noon ET/9 A PT. Youtube link will be posted at the hashtag if you'd like some company. It runs about 75 mins. #monsterdon

#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

#monsterdon

I said "good lookin' brunette".

(makes "chest" motion with both hands)

WE CAN'T FIND HER, GENERAL

(1950s intensifies)

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

"good looking" *again*

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

I stopped caring/paying attention at least 30 minutes ago. Am I supposed to be rooting for her to get away? #monsterdon

mfer is gonna fly to Hawaii on a spore-infested flight. I think I know why you flunked your master's degree.

#monsterdon

So the lady at the airline counter is a lesbian, got it.

#monsterdon

So, he's going to burn the motel down?

#monsterdon

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.

#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

#Monsterdon

Go ahead, I'll take care of the pulsating mass on the floor.

BOW CHICA WOW WOW.
#monsterdon

Cops Hate This One Trick… hair dye

#spacemasterx7 #monsterdon

lol, where is the monster though?

Unless the monster is Patriarchy?

#monsterdon

We've detected a fresh hole in the ozone layer. We're certain it's a woman using AquaNet to change her appearance

#Monsterdon

YES!!! She's going goth!

#monsterdon

This may be the most average film I've ever seen. 5/10. #monsterdon

Her nose is not "pug" -like at all

#monsterdon

I like how this movie has us equally rooting for the feds and the woman they're chasing in more or less equal measure.

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

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."

#monsterdon

Hopefully they take the cabby to Area 51 and throw away the key

#monsterdon

@flowerpot Honestly the whole film could have been cut from the film

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"Trans Orient Airways. If you're calling to escape an insidious alien slime, please press one…"

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

I wonder what the Rust Monster is up to?
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Size 10 dress - that'll fit you, John

#monsterdon

Just hangin’ out in the rail yard doin’ flamethrower pranks with the boys

#spacemasterx7 #monsterdon

"You've reach Trans Orient Airways, again. Please listen carefully as our options have changed since the last person called…"

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

Whole lot of fungal spores floating around in that train car now, eh?

#monsterdon

well he walked out alive so it wasn't that like the SCP Foundation...

#monsterdon

Do we know what genre this is? Sci-fi? Detective? Freight yard documentary?

#monsterdon

They arrested the suitcase #monsterdon

@wohali #monsterdon

It's a metaphor, echoing the fungus-burning scene!

Sending this one guy in has 'SCP incident log' vibes.

D-class...

#monsterdon

"We were just outside of Barstow when the blood rust began to kick in"

#Monsterdon

When filming, choose noisy locations like the junkyard by the freeway/airport

#Monsterdon

@jonny oh, you can read novels of the area

they knew what was up

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon burn the train car! burn the tracks! do the thing!

I wonder what the fungus is doing.
