#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

there was a scary drawing of an alien at the spaceship porthole!

Dressed like they're on their way to bust the GHOSTS OF MARS

#Monsterdon

Bad acting meter...
#monsterdon

Burroughs computer product placement

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

thank fucking God an alien

#monsterdon

"i'm going out there"

thank god. finally.

#monsterdon

Smarmy levels on the wall panel keep shifting from "Normal" to "Excessive" every time the Colonel Tom walks by.

#monsterdon

lol, such wild theories of what's outside, just fucking go outside

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

She has a teeny shoulder bag??

well, the colonel's kabe-donning him and calling him sammy, i think sam has a chance.

#monsterdon

First thing we do on Mars, light a pipe and have a good smoke.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Red sky at morning, astronaut take warning.

@allanb You insult Hogan's Heroes with the comparison! We settle this with explosives! At dawn!

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Dude just twirled a semi-automatic pistol. Doomed. They’re all doomed.
#Monsterdon

Old movies love a comic relief guy who never says anything funny but mugs a lot

#Monsterdon

"indian country"

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

She is providing impressive detail in her retelling of the events in spite of her purported memory difficulty.
#monsterdon

did sam just proposition his commanding officer???

#monsterdon

A .45 automatic was the solution to many risks in the 1950s. #monsterdon

"You keep the rocket clean. I'll do all the thinking. Woman." #monsterdon

“With all that vegetation out there, something’s bound to be alive.”

Like…the vegetation.

#Monsterdon

"nothing moves"

didn't know this movie was so meta as to comment on itself.

#monsterdon

After our montage we have reached the Red Planet and are doing a landing, which means everyone is in Serious Work Mode and is reading sensor reports. Then they trigger the retro rockets and start landing on Mars.

Also, it seems like there sensors are just blinking lights and they know how the read the blinking lights. I think I would also want a better placed window or camera or something to land on a planet.

#monsterdon

Rocket has smooooth suspension

#monsterdon

Gotta love how the view outside the rocket is spinning wildly but inside they all have normal gravity and nobody even needs a seatbelt

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

[computer console footage]

[crowd goes batshit]

"Everyone repeat stuff someone else is saying"

#Monsterdon

I wouldn't be able to handle close quarters w/ this crew even for a short duration uh uh. Espesh the Colonel and the Warrant nah ope

#Monsterdon

The rocket is represented by a cartoon, and we get a montage of rocket ship life with the crew doing their space jobs and hobbies as they fly to mars. Jobs/Hobbies are as follows:

Radioguy: records records and stacks the magnetic tape. hobby: scifi magazines
Girl: types on typewriter and cleans microscope. hobby: perfumes herself
Professor/Pilot: not sure what they do, other than the professor plays chess.

#monsterdon

<strike>days in flight</strike> days filming 47

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Product placement, we have product placement people! Bulova watch company!

Apparently the core tech of that ship is magnetic tape #monsterdon

if the forward camera shows movement and the rear does not, something has gone wrong

#Monsterdon

Oh Canada?!
#monsterdon

As I recall this movie improves after they land.

Keeping in mind how incredibly low the bar is. #monsterdon

Nice nod to Fantastic, very cute

#Monsterdon

Lol, they brought pulp magazines

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Trapped with 3 horny men in space, mission: dust and cook. #monsterdon

Oh great. Space travel with a guy who reads comics aloud.

#Monsterdon

Picture this crew next to actual astronauts and the things they say...

#Monsterdon

Cupboard: cat food, cat food, beans, beans spam and spam

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Condition Z, we're all dead Jim. This is the Event Horizon! This ship has gone places you CANNOT UNDERSTAND.

NO WAY HE SAID THE MOVIE TITLE!!!
#Monsterdon

Bulova wall clock product placement! I wonder if they ever made wall clocks with electric tuning forks.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

lol, who sits like that examining tins of food...

#Monsterdon

Which form of reference do you prefer for the biologist?

#Monsterdon

proudly sponsored by bulova, apparently

but is it the movie or the flight?

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

That rocket is much more spacious than one might imagine. But there’s probably still not enough closet space.

- yup, stole that from The Man With Two Brains

#Monsterdon

Singing guy can't die fast enough #Monsterdon

I want that excessive oxygen usage light to blink on occasionally

#Monsterdon

where is the gravity coming from?

The engineer needs to learn boundaries

#Monsterdon

Seatbelt?! Where we’re going we don’t need seatbelts!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon As high as the little noisemaker will take it sir!

loving that 'oxygen consumption' panel...

#Monsterdon

uh, dat sum pee tee ess dee
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #cinemagic

I wonder what Mars is doing.

Slap her, that's how they did it in the 50's
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Dr. Ryan has seen some shit

“The girl!”

You mean the adult woman scientist & trained astronaut? That person?

#Monsterdon

I'm still riding the high of the BRIGHT red chemical engine. I love seeing them. It's just cool to consider the history of firefighting, and so interesting to think about how it was done in an era of worse infrastructure for that sort of thing.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "We're doing everything we can, Nordberg!”

lol, whatever alien parasite he came back with is all over these people now....

#Monsterdon

With Cinemagic, every redhead is furiously ginger

#Monsterdon

Oh my god there's technically another female character. With no lines, obviously. #monsterdon

A little over the top for a gender reveal, don't you think? #monsterdon #theangryredplanet1959

lmao "it's the girl, who care about checking for radiation" can I check off "traditional gender roles" for that? #monsterdon

Two whole men squirting water on the rocket

#monsterdon

lol "park up right next to the engines, so we don't have far to walk.....my gums are bleeding..."

#Monsterdon

Screw SpaceX. They had this tech in the 50s. #monsterdon

The repeat memo is our exposition
#monsterdon

I'm amused that this is into the space age, and they assume a fully powered landing with no aerocapture/braking/heatshield nonsense

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#monsterdon Smoking a pipe in an oxygen rich spacecraft. Giving his crewmates a first class introduction to how oxygen and an ignition source turn even villain-twirling mustache rides into blazes of glory! Everything is on FIRE! YAY!

"Then there is fuel aboard!"

"But there's only one question: how much?"

I thought we covered a whole bunch of other questions in the immediately prior scene..?

(voiceover) "The answers to these questions and many more..."

Right, exactly, more than just one question then.

#monsterdon

You can tell that guy is really smart, on account of the pipe.

#Monsterdon

Gotta love these old 50s science machines....

#Monsterdon

Wow. Jack Kruschen. He was nominated for an Oscar for playing Dr. Dreyfus in The Apartment. The sttue went to Peter Ustinov for Spartacus. Canadian great slumming it here. #monsterdon

Imagine being out for a walk on mars and suddenly your rocket takes off because of a remote command.

#monsterdon

Mars rocket to land in Nevada like Genesis or Stardust.

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

We see a B52 bomber flying for some reason and then parking at a large rectangular building, which I assume is this cool retro mission control building. Inside, lots of dudes are standing in front of retro computers trying to land the rocket I think. They can only look at it in a circular TV, which is also very retro.

Anyway, with the professor and the army guys watching they get the rocket to decelerate.

#monsterdon

Well that was anticlimactic.

#Monsterdon

loving all the buttons and knobs they had back then, fucking touchscreens now....

#Monsterdon

I like the implication that they're using a B-52 as a passenger transport

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

"We leave for Nevada at once" They're gonna need a red convertible and tons of drugs. #Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@trixter Spectral Shuttle
#monsterdon

So, nobody has any idea what's going on

both in-universe and out

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

The MR-1 is of course equipped with slide rules, so they can do stuff. #monsterdon

Hm, ashtray in the meeting room (and some nice psoters)

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

#monsterdon Already bitching about budgets, boys? ;)

5.. 4.. 3.. 2..1.. and it's GO

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Angry Red Planet: Part 1

Don't worry there's only one part.

Well, we were promised War of the Ninja Monsters, and we got war, and we got ninja, and we got monsters... what more can you ask for

Thanks @ryan for hosting and everyone for posting! Looking forward to next week....

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

I appreciate this ninja for deciding to slash the screen to avoid subjecting us to any more movie. Other #Monsterdon movies should take a cue

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

Kitty cat eyes scream Ninja
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

Was the guy talking about being a Flash animator the guy who made the ending animation?
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

OK... at least I get to tick 'War of the Ninja Monsters' off my bucket list

My favourite recent shot-on-video ninjas-and-monsters movie is still 'Ninja vs Shark'

#Monsterdon

@allanb or maybe he was Anakin and she was Obi-Wan, who knows

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

The real monsters were the ones we met along the way

#Monsterdon

@allanb yeah, I meant she's Leia, and he's the Stormtrooper equivalent who grabs her neck ineffectively and exposes his whole body to her sword for no value

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

I think what we just witnessed is the melee equivalent of Stormtrooper aim

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
