@flowerpot no the first guy. Maybe they’re all MDJr.

#Monsterdon

oh good, they've discovered the bulk tape eraser, our only weakness

#monsterdon

We think it might have been... a magnet!

#monsterdon

What's up with the nurse's sleeves? Flying Nun style. #monsterdon

Told you they should've been using MP3s. #Monsterdon

@diazona @starkraving666 Elon Musk would, but he aborts any child that aren't XY and cis. #monsterdon
#TheAngryRedPlanet1959

I do love a good matte painting, this might as well be a play

#Monsterdon

Actually, the lights are on. You're far from working in the dark...
#Monsterdon

no records? no tapes? no 8-tracks in stereo?

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@aburka i dunno. do traditional gender roles mutate when exposed to radiation? #monsterdon

"Theres a woman! Radiation death and strict protocols be damned!" 🙄 #Monsterdon

This episode of Alien Earth isn't at all what I expected.

#Monsterdon

Probably venereal #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Caught up. Some dude just came out of the fuel tank. WEIRD....

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

Wait Dr Ryan rode in the spaceship in his suit and tie and business hat?

#Monsterdon

Ew. Green gooey glob on someone's arm.

Just . . . Exposed to everyone and everything.

Bring back short ties you cowards!

#Monsterdon

SEDAGIVE?!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

EXCELLENT KEMING, HOSPITAL

#monsterdon

Will the nurse get a speaking line?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #theangryredplanet So, when they pulled up - there were two guys in suits, but the firefighters were just in firefighting gear. So, if there was radiation, they were just like "Eh, you're firefighters; you'll be fine."

What the heck? We're watching Red Planet not Green Slime. Stop confusing me on what color this movie is about.
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@paco you spoke too soon

#Monsterdon

damn it i forgot to make jell-o before the film.

#monsterdon

Call me OHSA brained but I feel like that rocket exit/entry ramp could really benefit from a handrail or something.

#monsterdon

All doctors must wear blue ties.

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

That's probably Murphy's cousin's law, anything that can be done will be done

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

There is serious lack of crowd control around this rocket #Monsterdon

Just noting here "The Green Slime" is a much much better film. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

for a _moment_ I swore it was Stephen Fry stepping out of the spaceship

#monsterdon

I'll have a gooooooooooo christmas, with...

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Carpentry department didn't *quite* do the math right on two people + a stretcher side-by-side, that was a scary-looking move to execute! 😬

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The firetrucks are just darling!

"The hell with radiation, let's go!"

It's more specialized than "hey Earl, watch this!" but it'll do the job in a pinch

#Monsterdon

"The hell with radiation, let's go".
I wonder if he would say it on Three mile island.
#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie The last one introduced? "Sam Jacobs"? He was the smiley guy, so could be.
#Monsterdon

Oo, they're full of GOO :D #Monsterdon

"The colonel!"

[me: having intense Project A-Ko flashbacks] :blobsweats:

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

I don't think we have ever had a sausagefest quite like this. We don't even have the token woman serving coffee or swooning over the handsome lead.

#monsterdon

"We need that girl for Bechdel reasons" #monsterdon

Like the guy with the walkie-talkie on his back. #Monsterdon

mission impossible theme? DUN DUN DUNDUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Of course it's the girl 😊

#monsterdon

Radiation doesn't affect us real men! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon A girl? To hell with radiation, let's go!

Also, loving the television gobos.

@cd0 "The hell with radiation! Let's go!" #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Filmed in blue dye for night. #monsterdon

car one pulls away: high siren

car two pulls away: low siren

car three pulls away: the Fletch phone ringing sound

#monsterdon

"The girl" GIRL? Hoo boy.. we're just getting started with the sexism aren't we. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Don't run into the ramp, dude!

#Monsterdon

That is a very precariously balanced rocket. On a soundstage with painted backdrop, even.

#Monsterdon #AngryRedPlanet1959

Girl > Radiation
#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

getting radiation poison for a girl, that's romance
#monsterdon

A girl?! To hell with radiation! #Monsterdon

"The hell with radiation, let's go!"

DAMN THE LEUKEMIA, FULL SPEED AHEAD

#Monsterdon

“To hell with radiation, let’s go!”

Sounds… impractical? #Monsterdon

"The girl!"
"The hell with radiation, let's go!"

Man, you guys really DON'T get out much, huh. #Monsterdon

ah yes, gotta brave that radiation for a girl, when you're an American Army Officer.

#monsterdon

In true geek form the girl checked her facts. Takeoff on the Shuttles was ~3G, but the human body can take more than 9Gs. #Monsterdon

To hell with radiation. There's a girl!

#Monsterdon

CHEMICAL TRUCK
CHEMICAL TRUCK
CHEMICAL TRUCK

All my homies love old firefighting equipment on #Monsterdon

Wow they got that rocket back fast!

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

It landed all the way out in the Star Trek set, sir

#Monsterdon

This old firetuck is missin a dalmatian dog
#monsterdon

Is that radio background some stock audio? You hear it on a bunch of places.

#Monsterdon

FIRE!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@north Oh good then! 👍

I bet (or at least hope) Wikipedia has an interesting article on this. I'm sure there are a lot of nuances like the ability to hold the countdown for safety checks, or some such thing

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

But ... those other people on the firetruck don't have radiation suits.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

So many good reaction shots in this, oh my god. We haven't even *gotten* to anything yet. I hope the movie keeps it up.

#Monsterdon

"to hell with radiation!"

It doesn't care about you either lads

#Monsterdon

Now/ How do we get them out? DOH
#monsterdon

It's amazing we didn't figure out you can land spacecraft just by running the footage backwards. NASA could have saved *so* much money!

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

AND cardboard. amazing.

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

wow its hard to see anything in that stock footage

neat, the smokes is moving backwars too
#monsterdon

"Yep, that's an oscilloscope"

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@kshernandez @ryan has a stream, with bonus feature later: https://miru.miyaku.media/ #monsterdon

Yup, that’s definitely not just rocket film in reverse #Monsterdon

meanwhile, on a submarine for some reason

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

that's a long fuckin landing burn #monsterdon

see they were landing reusable rockets in the _70s_ I don't know why Elon's going on about this now

#monsterdon

First try. Take that, Musk.

#Monsterdon

FIRE!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

"This is a repeat of previous instructions."

Sorry, general. As an AI assistant I have already forgotten all previous instructions.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon we're not looking good.for a Bechdel pass, are we?

did we really think the rocket would land by just taking off in reverse???

#monsterdon

Loving all the control panels.

#monsterdon

Hey wait a minute! I thought Elon Musk invented this!

(wohali is buried by hurled rocks and stones)

#monsterdon

Was that an HVAC guy?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is there a bingo square for goatee and/or pipe?

Let's hope Space X didn't build this thing. #Monsterdon

Attention please: this is a repeat of previous plots

I repeat, previous plots

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Private Sunshine, everyone.

#monsterdon #theangryredplanet

Oh right the whole movie is a flashback a lot like the other movie where the whole thing is the journalist's recollection.

Remind me not to use this device in any narrative I ever write.
#monsterdon

One of the men talking sounds like Rex Reason (This Island Earth) and it keeps throwing me. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Brilcream did a lot of the heavy lifting for character choices in this puppy.

its night? its day? its daytime footage passing as night ones?
#monsterdon

I mean, technically, it's a flying bomb until it has landed safely...

#Monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel Sure. But still nobody did this.

#monsterdon

Some day we'll be able to afford motors to aim these things. Until then, crank for all you're worth men! #Monsterdon
