y'know, this movie knows that if you're gonna make us wait half the film for the kaiju that you should give us space lesbians in the swankiest environments possible. nailed it again, japan. never change.
I donβt think weβre on the moon anymore
#monsterdon Japanese Sci-Fi films of a certain era using the same music as American "Teens Gone Wild*/Moral Panic/Youth Crime" movies from the same period, and frankly, wearing it much better.
*Not those ones
Ball buster
So anyways⦠we returned from space.
space lesbians reunited! :D
@apLundell@timeloop.cafe Gotta leave it open for a sequel... "Space Master X-7 2" β:neocat_think_googly:β #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
she's also thinking she should be back on earth with _her_ wife
A shower scene? With two ladies!? Wow this really was made by a company that distributed alot of anime.
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace
@patioboater To be fair I believe we *were* in the second act and there just wasn't any more
I like the big dial set pieces, whatever they are
wrong crater, they're totally gonna miss alpha moonba... oh! there's another one! Busy moon these days, eh?
woah, her spinning desk is fly!
βLooks like a half-cooked omeletteβ Just like the monster from the last movie. #monsterdon #wrongx
@LingLass and somebody it's the ex-wife's fault that everyone on that plane is now probably dead? Pffft! #Monsterdon
never seen pachinko mechanics used for a orbital mechanics diagramme before, but it works
@ottaross I'm a purist and need to be certain that both non-male characters have been assigned names though #monsterdon
@Lazarou Right?! #Monsterdon
aw yeah, time for some 60s japanese space jazz
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
This went a whole nother direction than I expected. But I really liked it. The mishaps leading to a giant disasater, but not from the rocket. It was the weakness due to social engineering leading to a security breach. Pretty insightful. If abrupt π #Monsterdon
it's a little sad that the blood rust only made one victim (apart from the audience). It would be a truly terror if it was on a killing spree downtown LA.
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7
okay just hit the second feature, what've i missed?
A #monsterdon follow up poll:
Now Iβm going to have to watch the third act of something just so I can get to sleep.
#monsterdon I was hopping Quentin Tarantino of the 50s but I was disappointed, typical bourgeois movie of the 50s. Boring!!
@steggy Seems like it was a negative budget, in fact
@Lazarou
oooo another good idea!
@CactuarJoe The stock footage rocket in the beginning, I think. #monsterdon
So #monsterdon has ended for another week, and I'm once again reminded that I will never be able to watch a bad movie again without wanting to post to a hashtag about it.
Thank you all for reveling in the absolute lack of anything happening in the most dishonestly named flick we've watched together yet.
Thank you all for your toots, and thank you @Taweret for the work you do!
Till next time!
@SordidAmok only the ladies though #monsterdon
@forestine @miru Meanwhile Space Master X-7 trivia: 'Over the years, some sources have regarded this as a "lost" film. A 35mm RegalScope print is maintained by UCLA.'
Should've stayed lost. #monsterdon
@klu9 Yep, I'm watching "The X From Outer Space (1967, Japanese audio with hardcoded English subtitles)" which had a very fast paced nonlinear opening with school kids, a kaiju, and Earth and other spaceships buzzing each other. Seems like a very apt follow-up! #Monsterdon
Not the worst movie we've ever had. After we killed off the addhole doc, it just kinda ... simmered. A rather bland fungus.
All the effort they went through to bring the "love child" into the stage wings, ready to appear, but never brought him out. Just dropped after the doc dies.
Another mysterious box of some random stuff from space? This is a remake!
#Monsterdon #XFromOuterSpace #WrongX
I wonder if someone opened a dictionary at one point, discovered that rust was a type of fungus, and dashed the script off in an afternoon.
@paco but the right week to start smoking fungus
Movie needed some Tough Actin' Tinactin
anyway, g'night monster fans! #monsterdon
Every week we're all watching these flicks expecting some kind of wrap-up or ending and every week like Charlie Brown running to kick the football we end up flat on our backs. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
I lost bingo for the movie lacking any loving relationships. #TeamFungus #monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
How is the damn Blood Rust fungus growing on everything EXCEPT Laura?
RE: https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/115602486394911544
Don't forget to vote on your way out of the theater! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon well i think we can all agree on one thing: this was still LOADS better than 'the magnetic monster'
Iβm not planning on watching the whole movie that Miru is streaming next, but this opening music is catchy
Everyone sure is calm for folks sitting on a pile of man-eating fungus! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon *oof* that's not good for the props
it was way better than I was expecting after mustache doctor rusted to death. Genuine tension in parts and the fungus covering the airplane windows was a legit frightening image. And then suddenly "The rust died on its way back to its home planet." #monsterdon
This fungus did not pass the Stamets test. (the Discovery one, not the real one) #monsterdon
Anyway, this concludes my #monsterdon thread for "Space Master X-7" a movie that was basically fine but came with a questionable Aesop.
Until next week, um, don't bring any deadly fungal spores back from space I guess.
Excuse me what
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon there's a fungus among us
I'm assuming they didn't get it all and the Blood Rust fungus is slowly enveloping the planet.
The world was nearly destroyed because a woman dyed her hair. EXCITEMENT!
Thanks @Taweret , @Cherizilla , et al..
And another Monsterdon comes to a close. Well, the first movie does, anyway.
That was a lot of fun, fam. I really enjoy this Monsterdon stuff when it's not Dracula Prisoner of Frankenstein.
See y'all next week, and don't forget to vote tomorrow! Goodnight!
And https://miru.miyaku.media/ saves the day, probably. The X From Outer Space (1967) playing now! #monsterdon
That's .... it?
#Monsterdon
this was the most uninpressive crash landing ever.
Even in flight simulator they can do things a little more thrilling
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7
So what happened? Is everyone going to be all right? #monsterdon
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.
They tried to pack a lot of tension into a small amount of action. I think they did a reasonable job of it, but they needed to cut 5-10 minutes to pull it off properly.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Well, they definitely have to burn the plane now
#monsterdon It's not a ship, it's a plane.
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
The movie fucked off before it could fuck off into the sea.
ANyway I am more excited for The X From Outer Space! Love a good cheese kaiju movie. Especially one made by a studio that never made a monster movie before, and never made one afterwards.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
Another good time at the old #monsterdon!
I probably would've written fewer complimentary posts about the movie if I knew in advance they forgot to have an ending. #monsterdon
I think the blood rust fucked off into the sea when they were still over the ocean, and the whole world is doomed.
And no questions were answered.
Waitβthatβs it?? #Monsterdon
@Taweret that movie had some trouble with pacing and stakes but it was still a good time tbh
And they lived happily ever after.
... and it just ends, with the passengers being bussed off to the decon showers? There's a plane with fungus all over it that was likely dropping spores *everywhere* as it came into a landing.
oh. and
-fin
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
The end. Seriously, we ran out of ideas about what would happen next #monsterdon
"Try to keep it contained to the baggage compartment."
Me, when I'm holding in a shart.
Wait was that the end?
These abrupt endings always get me
wtf kind of plot was that?!
So we have to burn the plane, the airstrip, all the land under the plane as it came in, the bus load of passengers, the-- WAIT YOU CAN'T END IT THERE! You need a scene saying we cleaned it all up? YOu did not stop the space infestation you fools!
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7

#monsterdon WHOA wait up you can't just slap a Regalscope sticker on it and call it a day where's the narrator to tell us what we just watched?!
lol, that's it?
And they fucked off into the... tarmac.
At some point they might want to separate the red-slime-carrier lady from the other people and stop sticking her onto new Trains, Planes and Automobiles.
And that's it? They just land the plane and poof done? No burning the plane? Nothing about what happens to the people?
I guess we just assume everything was alright?
"jk it's all good" -movie #monsterdon
I guess it's the end, because it's an anamorphic lens now?
So they can decontaminate the outside, but what about spores that were breathed in or swallowed? Am I thinking about this too much? OH THANK GOODNESS IT'S OVER AND I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE! #monsterdon
So, it's a great aerial fungus leaving spores all around. Neat.
#monsterdon
ok, time to set fire to the busses
And that's a last minute bingo!
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7 #MonsterdonBingo
THRILL as they get it in time and avoid all consequences #monsterdon
"Get the ship turned around"
Not a land lubber, not an airforce brat, not really a service man, not much hope for the writers, either.
Where did the fungus on the outside of the plane go? #Monsterdon
Wow, nice landing!
Oh no! Emergency!
What is it?
It's a situation where urgent action is required!
Surely you're joking
No I'm not, and don't call me Shirley.
