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.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

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

#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.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Wait—that’s it?? #Monsterdon

@Taweret that movie had some trouble with pacing and stakes but it was still a good time tbh

#monsterdon

And they lived happily ever after.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

... 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.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

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.

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

Wait was that the end?
These abrupt endings always get me

#Monsterdon 🍄 #SpaceMasterX7

wtf kind of plot was that?!

#monsterdon

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

WHAAAAAT !?!?!

RIP OFF!

#monsterdon

#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?

#monsterdon

And they fucked off into the... tarmac.

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"jk it's all good" -movie #monsterdon

I guess it's the end, because it's an anamorphic lens now?

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

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

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

Where did the fungus on the outside of the plane go? #Monsterdon

Wow, nice landing!

#monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

Mom: "WHERE IS IT, I DON'T SEE IT ON THE AIRPLANE, DID IT FALL OFF?"

#monsterdon #spacemasterx7

oh, NOW they screw the hatch close
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7

Space fungus has sphincters...for, um, space-related reasons? Having to do with...space? #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

the blood rust is a kind of tarp-based life form that kills you by looking at you all scary #monsterdon

Nice found footage!

#monsterdon

wow actual belly landing footage, dang

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Fungus at 40000 feet! #monsterdon

"THERE'S A FUNGUS ON THE WING OF THE PLANE, YOU'VE GOTTA BELIEVE ME!"

#Monsterdon

FINALLY this is getting good.

#monsterdon

It's the pudding from Sleeper!

#Monsterdon

It's a blancmange and it doesn't like us! #monsterdon

We're lost cabin pressure, all the diesel fumes are getting sucked out into space!

#monsterdon

lol, finally a monster attacks!

#monsterdon

“Mr. Elbow is free if you’d like to speak with him.”

#Monsterdon

Fungus on a Plane shouldve been the whole movie dammit

#monsterdon

The fungus is outside the plane.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

It opened the outside baggage door? Good thing it can't do something like spread spores ALL OVER THE PLACE from there. #monsterdon

Is the plane going to fuck off into the sea?

#monsterdon

ok who invited the Horta #monsterdon

In "The Andromeda Strain", there's a discussion of a contingency in which an helicopter and pilot would need to be incinerated mid-air….

#Monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

The navigator passing arrival information to the pilot is cool, though

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

i assme the fungus will eat them all before they land? please?

#monsterdon

Immensely disappointing that the emergency landing is just stock footage of an emergency landing instead of a special effect of an airplane coated by a slime monster doing an emergency landing, because that would be cooler.

#monsterdon

They should burn the plane

#monsterdon

I knew there'd be shrooms in that hotel room

#Monsterdon

Can you imagine the typical airline customer reaction to the plane turning around? #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero they didn't specify what his masters was in, but i'm presuming it wasn't interrogation #monsterdon

I'm thinking like "blasted out of the sky" quick.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

I would have thought "point of no return" would be a LOT farther west than Santa Barbara.

#monsterdon

Imagine if someone even a slight bit competent was the agent in charge.....#monsterdon

@SordidAmok Maybe he wanted to find out whether it was size 10 #monsterdon

"Time to torch the airplane. I don't make the rules" #monsterdon

@amyfou@lingo.lol Dr Pommer, but that's close enough for the private sector!

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"Hey, we're turning around! This better count towards my miles!"

#Monsterdon

"Blood rust"

*venom snake voice* hnnnn, metallic archaea #monsterdon

NOW she learns she's not being hunted down for mooder

BUT instead, she mooders half of humanity

#monsterdon

#monsterdon If I were this "Jean Meyers" I would be asking for the air marshal to get that guy in restraints and threatening to sue the airline and the FA who pointed me out to him

while typing: Haw Haw, they're going to land on Ox Nards.

edit: grandpa terminology, apologies.

@strangefour I called it, Spongebob Origin Story!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🍄 🍄‍🟫 🚀 👽 😱

wait there's a Mr. Hand and a Dr. Palmer???

I see a fiery, intentional, aeroplane-crash to eliminate[?] the peril.

#Monsterdon
#SpaceMasterX7

Maybe the stewardesses could serve coffee to keep everyone comfortable?

#CoffeeTease #monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

"Get this ship turned around!" Because AIRSHIP!

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

or they could have just explained to Our Lady of the Blood Rust that she's not wanted for murder, they just need to know if she's about to die from an alien fungus.

#monsterdon

"Well, we certainly can't ask a private business not to let their plane take off for fear of an extra terrestrial spore contamination. I guess we're going to Hawaii!"

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

lmao we need your ID because there's a species of fungus from outer space....

#monsterdon

He ought to flash a photo of Dr. Pommer at each one and see who blanches #monsterdon

I picked the wrong week to quit hunting fungus!

#Monsterdon

JFC just turn the plane around already.

#monsterdon

"Ratigan, I'm calling you back again to let you know you're 39 minutes from the point of no return." #monsterdon

We're going to have to burn the plane down, aren't we?

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

@kshernandez She thinks she's wanted for the murder of the scientist/her ex.

#monsterdon

Ratigan has been outsmarted again.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

oh my god the orchestral string after "i do touch it up a bit" lmao

#monsterdon

“I must admit, I do touch it up a bit”

Cue DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL STING

#Monsterdon

13 minutes remaining and we have yet to even establish if the blood rust can even do anything bad to you unless you are trapped in a room with it for long periods like in a lab or train car #monsterdon

In case you were wondering they just introduces the ticking clock, which is what passes for dramatic tension in this lovely film. I could forgive you for missing it, you're probably asleep. #monsterdon

@randy_s At least Shatner isn't aboard.

#Monsterdon

"I'm looking for a girl. The lives of everyone on this plane may depend on it!"

The Woman: Yeah, I bet, buddy.

#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

At this point, I think calling the fungus "space master" is a bit like calling dandelions "lawn masters."

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

Of course you're looking for a girl, that's obvious #monsterdon

@wohali @rebeld Like walking onto a city bus is how it was described to me. Walked on, paid cash.

I think this was in the 1960s, but I don't really remember.

Kinda blows my mind.

#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7

#monsterdon

Typhoid Mary? That's Fungoid Laura.
