#Monsterdon "What does it mean to you as a marine biologist?"!? Really, sir. He's talking about dinosaurs. I'm no paleontologist, I'm a marine biologist. Talk to me when you've got an octopus or a squid. (door slam)
#Monsterdon π¦ π€ π±
Luckily these scientists have a mechagodzilla diagram
so are these mysterons or mooninites?
Oh no. Woman with eyeball magic powers. Is this going to have a mothra cameo?
The deep sea light makes it look like a high school prom is about to start
Starting late, but watching the delightful opening sequence at 1.5x so that I can catch up to the bulk of #Monsterdon viewers
β¦not that it probably matters very much, the multiple cuts of this movie are probably going to make the peanut gallery kind of disorganized on this one!
Ugh, gotta reboot this laptop #monsterdon
Stupid earthling plane flights and their inedible earthling plane food. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla
What a transition! #monsterdon
the facial hair! the Villain Facial Hair! #monsterdon
Yeah, foolish earthlings! Ha ha ha
#Monsterdon
....on TOKYO
Whatβs wrong with their underwater radios? #Monsterdon
As always, the Kaiju movie hat game is [chef's kiss emoji]
It's right next to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
dude has a hate boner for Tokyo then.....
#Monsterdon he's definitely saying dinosaur. At least in the dubbed version I'm watching on Tubi.
space trotsky really wants to get things going
Not just a mustache, a wicked goatee!
@SRLevine Yeah dubbing has that very particular advantage over subtitles in this situation
so am assuming Mechagodzilla is female?
What is it with the Japanese and fussy little hats while at sea? You put a Japanese dude on a boat and he, like, materializes a hat three sizes too small for his cranium on top of his head. It's odd. #Monsterdon
"...what, as a marine biologist do you think about the word dinosaur?"
"Can I phone a friend?"
#monsterdon βAnd then he hurled him into the sea.β Does that count as fucking off into the sea?
If he's in disguise as a human those glasses are a dead giveaway. #Monsterdon
@jonny Maybe fifty fifty #monsterdon
yes, finally, audiologs #monsterdon
That is one very attractive undersea expedition they have there
Wow, the fucking off into the sea right at the beginning! Impressive!
Love the #monsterdon staple of listening to a recording of a previous scene.
"We join our movie, already in progress." #Monsterdon
Moscato with mixer and #Monsterdon
fully 10 minutes into the movie and we are still getting credits and narration.... IS MY COPY OF THIS MOVIE BROKEN or is this how it is going for everyone #monsterdon
I *thought* I started early but this is chaos! π
Roaring underwater.
The Ocean Exploitation Institute.
There's something fishy about this one.
They sure know a lot about the submarine that exploded or whatever, considering that, y'know, it exploded or whatever
Itchy-Nosey?
#monsterdon The music has gotten more dramatic. Does this mean weβre done with narration? β¦. No.
Ugh, I'm already not paying attention because I didn't realize I'd have to totally rearrange how I had phanpy.social setup to be able to watch the movie, see the hashtag and comment. Whoops!
Also I don't see much dubbed and it's throwing me off. But there is no way I could read subtitles, watch a movie, and comment here all at once. ADHD is not a benefit in that situation.
Loving the 70s hair, collars, and lapels #monsterdon
Is this a Godzilla or a kung fu movie? Those sideburns are awesome. #monsterdon
A recording from the sub just before it sank: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla
#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch This meeting is devoid of coffee. That can't be good.
fire that sonar operator
#monsterdon
"...do you have a coat with bigger lapels?"
"Nope."
"Okay, this will have to do."
WAIT GODZILLA'S MAGNETIC??? WHAT THE FUCK #Monsterdon
"chief says there's something fishy about this... get it, because they were in a submarine..." #monsterdon
Presumably all this would make more sense if I had seen the previous Mechagodzilla film
Ocean... Exploitation Institute?
It's a gusher! Red Gold! Japanese B!
#Monsterdon Live by the Kaiju, die by the Kaiju.
Donβt recognize that kaiju, but did it just stand on the surface of the water before doing a flying body-slam bite on the submarine? #monsterdon
look at that 70s hair. talk about the humanity. (-_-) #monsterdon
Giant mutant seahorse, 12 o'clock #monsterdon
#monsterdon Gorgo gonna show that pop pop boat who's boss
OceanGate!
#Monsterdon
Why I believe we have β miniatures!
Good entrance from Titanosaurus. Love the sun over the shoulder shot. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla
The horrible dub just says "this wasn't really made for you, but you can enjoy it too", just π―
Nice forced perspective #monsterdon
@aburka To be fair it was kind of an established piece of technobabble at that point
"The International Police Agency"
and he just BODYSLAMMED that toy boat! oh the humanity! #monsterdon
is this a movie about what a mechagodzilla movie might be like or something? #monsterdon
#monsterdon someone call the exorcist for mechagodzilla
Those guys are awfully blase about 200m depth in a sub.
#monsterdon
who's this clown? #monsterdon
Didn't see Linda Blair being in this one...
So far this is like if Ray Harryhausen made a very incoherent godzilla movie.
Sound by
QUALITY SOUND COMPANY
wow how's THAT for a target for a Truth in Advertising lawsuit :/ #Monsterdon
everyone wants to pull adorable liβl arm duty on this sub #monsterdon
And the monsters fucked off into⦠a sequel. #Monsterdon
I see that Avatar had to go with "unobtainium" because "space-titanium" didn't sound believable #monsterdon
A new Kaiju enters!
This has got to be the longest cold opening in movie history.
"Spitanium", if you will #Monsterdon
OK that's actually a pretty cool kaiju #Monsterdon
CLEARLY nobody taught this crew how to electrify their hull! Didn't they read ANY of the manuals Admiral Nelson sent out?
#monsterdon
its wild the guy was able to narrate all of this to Snake while he was dying of an induced heart attack
The Mechagodzilla theme is perfect, but if you want to gild the lily, the nonSectRadicals dub has you covered.
#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla
It sounds like the extra six minutes of exposition in the other version was a trip, I'm beginning to regret missing out
Spoiler alert! Almost!
wait even despite that title card we are still getting recap what is going on #monsterdon
#monsterdon. βSinister minds from outer spaceβ¦β were watching, unknownβ¦ oh sorry, thatβs War of the Worlds. Which should possibly sue.
Mechagodzilla has his own company? Does it own Tesla too?
I do love a good sub model that is mostly looks
#Monsterdon
I hate it when I get a submarine in my eye. #Monsterdon
Tonight on #Monsterdon Ooops All Recap apparently
"Resolute" theme for the win #monsterdon
βGodzilla heals himself with magnetismβ is not a power I had been briefed on. #monsterdon
#monsterdon the archive.org one is still doing exposition
i may play the longer US cut going on another computer just so i can have context for toots coming from those who are watching that version #monsterdon
ok at 6:20 we finally are getting "terror of mechagodzilla title card" so it looks like we are going to have big time desynchronization on this one lmao #monsterdon
If you have a submarine in your eye, you should see an ophthalmologist at once.
#Monsterdon RELEASED BY THE MECHAGODZILLA COMPANY
dig the aliens' mockturtleneck unis, tho
psychic mod! tele-motorbike powers activate! #monsterdon
LOL @moira beat me to the obligatory Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea joke, but she's NOT WRONG, the Seaview would totally have to rescue these guys after their sub implodes and the wreckage drops to a plateau just above crush depth and YEAAAAAH I may have watched a LOT of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
