#monsterdon You got your vibraphones in my padding! You got your padding in my vibraphones!

Front is out of control but rear is steady

#monsterdon #InCineMagic
#TheAngryRedPlanet

Oh, right, they're going to Percival Lowell's Mars

#monsterdon

Go home forward camera. You're drunk. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Bulova #Monsterdon

Why is the incidental music O Canada?

#monsterdon

Is there a B&W version on #Tubi? This colorized version is sus' as hell!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Almost thought that was Oh Canada for a sec🇨🇦
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Ye gods, reading that shit is the aural equivalent of swimsuit calendars. Having flashbacks to my early techniican days.

Wait… they’re over halfway there and still under acceleration?
#Monsterdon

We paid for these tapes, we are fucking using them!
#monsterdon

days in flight: 29

which is also how long it feels like we've been watching this

#monsterdon

gross, this movie is gross. what was that one where they had to promote the dude at the end just so he'd outrank his wife? yeah, gross.

#monsterdon

Not watching #Monsterdon tonight, and regretting it from all the fun posts

I hope the rest of the film is this guy's hallucination of Mars on his long en lonely return trip to Earth like in that Garfield hollowness comic...

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

Let's review our cast, apparently. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon When I use your name, I'll be a FAAATHER! Because I'm both creepy and a msyogynist! Where's that damn COFFEE WOMAN!

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

she has to make food and type on a literal typewriter. Like with paper in it.

Comic book guy is being kind and rewind.

#Monsterdon

And after Iris has been typing for 12 days....

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

“Wonder if I’ll ever get to see the next issue?”

Oh no, dude! Check for a red shirt underneath your uniform!! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Reel to reel tapes on a spaceship!

Bulova #Monsterdon

Ah yes. The 9-track tape reels.

#Monsterdon

You know, it's not foreshadowing if we know they're gonna die, it's just being heavy handed. #Monsterdon

What time is it in Bulova?

#Monsterdon

WTF, she’s cooking? #Monsterdon

A TYPEWRITER! In SPACE!

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

#monsterdon Iris, you're going to bring the first STD to Mars ya dirty whore!

BEHOLD OUR MOVING MATTE PAINTING

#monsterdon

Um... there's an "angry" red planet out there just waiting to blow and you have time to flirt? #monsterdon

Did he just threaten her with calling her by her name? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"When I call you by name, you'll know it."

THAT IS A THREAT, IRIS

Why does he keep calling her “Irish”?

Oooh, she’s calling him out on it!

Pretty sure he’s creating a hostile work environment

#Monsterdon

Looking pretty blue for an angry red planet. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@neia her face does not indicate that it was charming or welcome, that's for sure #Monsterdon

"When I call you by name you'll know it. Because it'll be your true name, uttered from one of my thousand mouths."

#monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

#Monsterdon Ok, so the ship didn't have tapes, but what about control? They should have recorded the transmissions, right?

Oh wow, I guess I got my answer. 😳 #Monsterdon

When I call you by name, you'll know it!

😏

augh. gross

#monsterdon

"When I call you by name, you'll know it." Is that a threat? Can we stuff this guy out the airlock?

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

oh kaaay so we're just running stereotypes then?

#monsterdon

So the Coronals idea of a good time is a back alley.... and that's within her standards? ​:neocat_scream_angry:​ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

No weightlessness

Chess board and pieces not floating around

Astronauts not floating around

#Monsterdon #theangryredplanet Mars Rocket 1 Ration C is for Coffee.

Her hair is short. Jackass.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Death to the captain. Death.

Did they steal all the canned goods from the film Repo Man?

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

#Monsterdon That is so creepy. I hope it's an in joke between them.

"I wonder if some things are better... unknown."

"Yeah, like what Frank's socks smell like. WOOF!"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

From the directors note book.

"Less expression!"

@pineheap Sure, back before they backed it off to make more room for the interstate. #Monsterdon

things do eventually happen in this movie?

#monsterdon

@pineheap @CactuarJoe or miles were bigger

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Those spinning tapes are really just fans.
#Monsterdon

the fun days of space travel before Nasa did psych evals #Monsterdon

#monsterdon You might think that CineMagic refers to the sorcery required to make a film look like a poorly printed engineering textbook illustration from the mid century but I understand it gets worse.

While typing: HE SAID THE THING

@aburka That's her name, but not what they call her #monsterdon

Title line!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

We get a title drop WHILE MAKING DINNER? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I know it's 1959, but holy fuck this dialogue is horrifying.

"How'd you like to… explore that dark alley (implied eyebrow waggle) with me?"

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The one astronaut reminds me of Buddy Hackett.

And there's the film's title!

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

SHE'S ALSO WEARING BALLET FLATS WHY CAN'T CHICKS WEAR SHOES LIKE NORMAL PPL

How about a little space hanky and or panky, "Irish"?
#Monsterdon

Man now I want to go to this Tony's place...
#Monsterdon

TITLE DROP

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

HEY ABBBOTTTT ABBOTTTTT

#monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

That warning light seems important. Let's keep watching it.
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

"Here we are between two dots. What are we, Morse Code?"

#monsterdon

"FORWARD"/"REAR" screens have big "THIS END UP" energy

#monsterdon

@diazona@techhub.social The portholes have 10,000x builtin magnification, I guess?

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@CactuarJoe Maybe Mars was much closer in the 50s?
#Monsterdon

That poor Burroughs computer has seen better days...

Wonder if they got promotional consideration for the use of their gear in this film.

#monsterdon

"And soon people will be just as sure of space travel as I was of my dog"

Lmao come on man

#Monsterdon

Oh my gosh, poor lady with the space creeps
#monsterdon

I think the red planet must be angry because of overhearing excessive sexual stereotyping #monsterdon

Yea it *feels* like they've been in flight for 17 days, too

#Monsterdon

yes this is how humans talk

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

I hate the captain so much that I'd rather listen to the singing guy.

Colonel Sir had a ring on his pinky, very modern.
#monsterdon

So they made it to Mars in 1 day of flight and spend the next 16 days doing what exactly?

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Checkov's Oxygen Meter over there.

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

also, the Bulova clocks, some things _never_ change

#monsterdon

Bulova, the official clock of space boredom

#monsterdon

Why is the ceiling so freaking high? #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Of course the only female crewmember is in charge of feeding the boys

#Monsterdon

NOOOOOOOO!
Not another conversation.
Pleeeeeeeeaaaaase. Noooooo please
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ahhhh, drug commercial, Haagen Dazs, may cause spontaneous ice-creamy combustion!

"how about exploring that dark alley" is quite the pickup line 🙄

#monsterdon

I’m confused, is her name “Iris” or “Irish”?

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, the classic space travel to dog comparison.
#Monsterdon

oh I'm going to call this guy Colonel Sir from here on out.

#monsterdon

"As sure of space travel as I was of my dog. And as I'd like to be of you."

There is so much to unpack here...

#Monsterdon

Ah yep, we have arrived at the romance movie within the space movie

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Is first the name of the dog or he love it so much that he forget its name?
#monsterdon

"How about exploring that dark alley. Together."

Hell of a pick up line - and it worked!

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

@aburka Yeah, that's her handle according to IMDB #monsterdon

So basically she's flown into space with three creepers.

#Monsterdon

all the men in this crew are creeps #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

Nice dog story to introduce the dream of space travel AND of sexual harrassment in the workplace!
