"THE GIRL!"

There wasn't a girl aboard, there was however, a woman. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Let the radiation spill throughout the entire population! Let the RTG's leak all over! To HELL WITH GODZILLA!

Because that's how you get Godzilla, PAM!

"All counts still in the green"

Yeah, they didn't start making the Count purple until the later seasons. #Monsterdon

it's such a CUTE LITTLE FIRE TRUCK.

#monsterdon

this is great, I feel like i'm watching a training video for slide rules rn

10/10 cozy

#Monsterdon

That firetruck is so quaint

#Monsterdon

Oh thanks god. The rocket safely landed by reversing the footage.
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Ha - very Starship-looking landing. Ha!

#monsterdon

...periscope?

#monsterdon

We now know where SpaceX got their rocket plans
#Monsterdon

Those radiation guys are like Chernobyl Firefighters....

#Monsterdon

Flying coffin vs flying battleship, who wins?
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

well THANKFULLY the rocket didn't come back radioactive.

#monsterdon

Uh oh, are those anti-aircraft guns? They have a surprise for our returning Mars ship.

#monsterdon

Yes, tracking optical and radio systems!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

ENORMOUS television, btw

Loved that sequence, it was very charming and well-executed. This is fun!

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou The last time I remember that happening was 9/11. #monsterdon

You, turn some knobs. You, flick some switches.
#monsterdon

Plot twist: they come back as the Fantastic 4
#Monsterdon

you know this HITS DIFFERENT with the ability to recall the whole Challenger thing.

#monsterdon

Looks a bit like Pleasantville #monsterdon

An oscilloscope showing exactly nothing has entered the fray.

what kind of 1950s space control is this supposed to be, they don't even have ANY weedily-woo machines

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#monsterdon Officials are anxious? Yeah, it's 1950’s all right. They actually worry about anything but their own giant fat paychecks from their masters. Oh how times have changed. LOL.

This start-up sequence would make for a great #Monsterdon meta gag. This is pretty much of all of us in the 15 minutes before the movie, isn't it?

#Monsterdon

*Cue Hack the Planet after countdown*
#Monsterdon

Thunderbirds are GO! #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Man, I need clicky switches like that in my life. #Monsterdon

I think those are panaplex displays!

#monsterdon

In this scene, several very serious old white men will scientifically determine everything that happened without looking at a single sheet of paper, looking up any figures, or consulting with anything other than their own personal grey matter.

#monsterdon

Aaaah the sheer number of switches and knobs I can't even

This is what computers should look like!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Snare drums mean the planes are military.

RADAR ASTRONOMY MENTIONED

#Monsterdon

All hail the B-36 peacemaker!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

The director of this movie: “Exposition? Who needs it?!”
#Monsterdon

Oh good, it’s in color. I assume the angry red planet will at least be red, if not angry.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Other movies waste time introducing characters or motivating the plot. Not this one, we're right in the thick of it from moment one! #Monsterdon

"Ground control to Major Tom!"

#monsterdon

Imagine how many tubes they have in that room #monsterdon

Nevada: for when you want Mars, but can't afford those ungodly space travel fees.
#Monsterdon

That man is doodling on the screen, why isn't he working?! /s

#Monsterdon

Stock footage for the padding!

That's one grade-school poster on the wall there

The recording instruments have important data.

So we must retrieve the entire ship!

Oh man, you KNOW that man drives a hot dog car. #Monsterdon

Yay - the #monsterdon stream is streaming.

"today's Sesame Street is brought to you be the letter A!"

Oo, loud. Save some fanfare for the FILM, jeez #Monsterdon

It's Time! Go! Go! Go!

What a strangely composited view of the US capitol's dome.

Tonight's cocktail for Angry Red Planet: an Americano.

Pour over ice:

1.5oz each Campari and sweet vermouth (Antica)

3oz soda

Dashes of orange bitters on the top

Enjoy!

#monsterdon

Getting ready for #monsterdon, kicking off in just a moment!

We have movie sign! #monsterdon

Genbu you are my favorite of the directional god monsters. Great turtle warrior of the north.
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

@SnoopJ accurate

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Thanks @ryan and the #Monsterdon afterparty gang!

That was neat, I wish I hadn't missed the first 15 minutes or so

disappointed obviously that the damage wasn't real because that's way too much a "back to normal" ending but

#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Uh… what?
#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

It was all just ~~Jedi~~ ninja mind tricks

#Monsterdon

The suitimation stunt men suffered fatal heat stroke at the same time. And the Kaiju menace is no more. We can now carry on with our quest.
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

@allanb

That's their skill. You'll never get the ninjas!

#Monsterdon

Wait. That is straight up Godzilla and Gamera heisei era music. Dudes.
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

@ryan You couldn't say that after seeing Godzilla Final Wars. That was everything everywhere all at once. Every movie plot you've ever seen, crammed into a single film.

#monsterdon

Soundtrack 10/10
#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

I like that none of this is showing up on cameras. I wonder if it'd show up on film?

#MonsterdonDoubleFeature #monsterdon

You'd think even if you can't capture the kaiju on camera, you could get the cars they're flipping over and buildings they're smashing

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

"There's no way something that big isn't showing up on camera."

That's what *she* said!

#Monsterdon

EDIT: "big", not "back, what the hell am I typing???

@moira eh I guess people are using both

I personally prefer to reserve #WrongFrogs for when it's a movie that could easily be confused with the main feature (in honor of @Taweret 's epic warning post that one time)

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

TIL kaiju attacks are under the jurisdiction of local authorities

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Over half way thru 'War of the Ninja Monsters'... needs a lot more war, a lot more ninjas and a lot more monsters

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about The Angry Red Planet (1959).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

Kind of off topic, but for a really fun (IMO) take on the human-as-kaiju concept, check out Colossal (2016) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4680182/

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

So, some vile human guys, some awesome Martian creatures, some beautifully drawn--if cheesy—backdrops. Glad to have seen it. Glad it’s over :). Thanks @Taweret and co for the fun. #Monsterdon

So the kaiju in this is... a giant leisure centre administrator?

#Brittazilla #Monsterdon

@paco @strangefour RHOMBIC LIE #monsterdon

"ninja monster transforming techniques" 😮

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

@ryan soon huh

not yet

this is gonna get wild

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

@Crazypedia Oh yeah. Really early. Right after they landed, but before we all went blind from red.

#monsterdon

So this was kind of a sloppy #monsterdon film and my #letterboxd reflects that. The giant spidery monster and the cell with the spinny eye rescued it from the bottom of the barrel in my review, though https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-angry-red-planet/

Ninjas! DRINK!

#MOnsterdon

@strangefour "Ib Melchior" is an anagram of "heroic limb", which I think means probably absolutely nothing.

#monsterdon

@diazona @paco

And nobody fakes Ted Cassidy!

The Red Planet That’s Tired Of Your Shit And Isn’t Having It
#Monsterdon

I think this is the worst movie so far in terms of intolerable sound effects, and that’s saying a lot 🙉
