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

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

#monsterdon #cinemagic

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

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

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!

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Oh no.. was that a romantic dialogue attempt?

did he just call her "Irish"? #monsterdon

Ewwww. the colonel is a creep though....

#Monsterdon

Maybe Sam with the short sleeves? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Did they blow their budget on realistic props? Cuz that's an expensive oscilloscope built into the wall there. #monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

@Violinknitter

They were just doing high-altitude flights, and were discovering the Van Allen radiation belts. So it would've been in the news in the 50s.

I think that's probably the real reason.

Note also the absence of staging!

#Monsterdon

DISTRACTED! BY ROMANCE!

yeah this was certainly some crew options

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

Poor Sam's feet don't touch the floor when he sits in his cap'n chair

Tony's might be 30,000 miles away, but is SPACE Tony's??
#Monsterdon

"It's hard to believe" Yeah especially with all that full gravity you're experiencing. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

That bloody red asteroid _might_ be what scared me as a kid.

#Monsterdon

All those vacuum tubes would be making that place feel like a sauna.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

30,000 Miles? What are they like a day into their flight?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon was it too much to ask for the hands comic relief guy to get a chair where his feet touched the ground?

Why the hell does that bother me so much?

thousands of miles out in space, checking off things on a clipboard. actually, probably not far off.

#monsterdon

I like how they mentioned 1 G acceleration. Absurd Δv, but it does mean there's a reason for it being a "normal" set.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#Monsterdon Somebody turn off the kettle!

That popped collar. This is the 80s, right? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #theangryredplanet OXYGEN CONSUMPTION: Normal and Excessive. No numbers or thresholds. If you have to ask, we'll probably cut you off.

@Taweret They're in the green room. Get it? 😏 #monsterdon

Condition Ayylmao

This 50s-guy banter is really something

#Monsterdon

Hands off comic relief. Why can't you be more of a Ben Grimm?
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Man, their engineer really will put his lips on anything. #Monsterdon

Condition AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

I can't figure out which of the guy astronauts is the one with the green jello #monsterdon

He's lying - you don't look real good anywhere, sir.

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

I am watching Angry Red Planet, but so far it's boring as hell, missing rocket ship, remote-piloting in. Fine. Yeah, took SpaceX 50 years to do this IRL.
#monsterdon #angryredplanet

Is that Lou Costello singing about two moons or what? #monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

#Monsterdon : Condition M, condition M

#TheAngryRedPlanet

Is that the angry red planet? It seemed more annoyed than angry.
#Monsterdon

I love the big OXYGEN CONSUMPTION monitor light on the wall.

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

EEE-BEE EEE-BEE

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#monsterdon mrducks

#Monsterdon

They just

watched that meteor

coming right at them

Just

Like

WOW.

Both moons must be really close. Those guys are specks.
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Oh, good, the silly singing astronaut. Glad that wasn't overlooked.

At least he doesn't have a pet monkey in a little spacesuit.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Sam short legs needs to keep his hands to himself.

#Monsterdon man, space is really loud.

Two moons => romance

someone has a one-track mind

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

I like how movie writers in the 1950s couldn’t imagine space flight dangers outside of radiation

Oxygen? Fuel tanks? Navigation issues? Nah, the biggest danger is definitely radiation #Monsterdon

One thing's for sure, nobody packed a steam iron on this mission #monsterdon

You know you've watched too much Usagi Electric when you're watching
#theangryredplanet for #monsterdon and you think you recognize a vacuum tube pack.

I am digging the short sleeve jumpsuit everyone is sporting.
#Monsterdon

*points at photo* This is the girl.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Someone get HR on the radio. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#Monsterdon Dalamud?!

Oxygen consumption
#Monsterdon

Hey, they said the name of the movie.... minus one word

#Monsterdon #Angry

If they remade this movie today, Toby Stephens would play the goatee guy.

#Monsterdon

the beedeebeedee machine works _here_, why not at nevada control?!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Ah yes, meteor noises.
#Monsterdon

Meteors do in fact go weweweweweweweweweeweeweeweeweeweeweeweeweeeeee

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Oxygen Consumption: Normal or Excessive, designated by two lights.

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

That sure was some beeping.

#Monsterdon

Oxygen consumption is just an idiot light, huh? Normal and excessive. What about "insufficient? HEY YOU GUYS START BREATHING MORE."

#monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

“As if they’d been erased by some powerful magnetic force” Like, a magnet #Monsterdon

IT'S RED HOT NICKEL BALL!

#monsterdon

I wonder if those seats are comfortable.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

I can't remember
Start at the beginning
What part of can't remember don't you get.
#Monsterdon

oh my cat does NOT like that beeping

#monsterdon

they have so many clicky buttons i'm not sure anything could go wrong on this flight.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Blase space travelers... how dare you, sir?

Timestamp for lovely computer equipment

#Monsterdon

I'm really glad that real astronauts are way more professional than the ridiculous unprofessional behavior in these old movies. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

No pressure.

Suits, I mean

Those chairs -- are they the DX Racer gamer chairs?

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

🎵🎵 "Try to remember/that launch in September"🎵🎵 #monsterdon

no, radioactive high, that's why I'm talking about it, idiot!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Nice of them to put winged eyeliner on her while she's too traumatized to do it herself

#Monsterdon

@gnomon I mean I think you're fine to get preemptively ticked off now, it'll be justified one way or another

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

We are now entering the flashback portion of tonight's film. It's a long one ...

"blasé space travellers"

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

That was a Dr. van Gelder closeup on her eyes.

#Monsterdon

oh its a disease. wonderful quarantine procedures... #Monsterdon

#monsterdon He used a big word! Blasé! Ooooh this is real sciencey!

MORE TUBES!

TUUUUBES!

#monsterdon

Wow, actually letting the woman narrate. This is a progressive film. #Monsterdon
