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

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

wow its hard to see anything in that stock footage

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

Loving all the control panels.

#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

"the MR-1, which we like to call the 'mister one'"

#monsterdon

#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'

https://lemmy.ca/post/48614121

#Monsterdon

Uh… what?
#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

@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

@ohiofi yea seriously

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Are the consciousnesses inside the kaiju... or are they just dreaming the whole thing?

#MOnsterdon

She has a way better stance than he does. He's not even bothering

#monsterdon
#monsterdondoublefeature

@allanb

But seriously... I think there was some onscreen text before the title that said something about ancient ninja guilds around the world and they... no, I don't get it either

#Monsterdon

@klu9 @allanb in Japan, ninja gets you

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

@allanb

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

#Monsterdon

Ninja Monsters is very very student film feeling. Still has some goofy charm to it.
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

@aburka I guess? Everyone's saying they don't show up on camera (cell phone camera or film camera)

There was an ancient scroll involved at some point, I'm sure it's to blame

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

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???

Temu Baragon is exceedingly muppety

#MonsterdonDoubleFeature #monsterdon

The angry red moon

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

oh so it's #MonsterdonDoubleFeature now and not #wrongfrogs ?

#monsterdon

TIL kaiju attacks are under the jurisdiction of local authorities

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

This convo is what the guys in rubber suits are actually saying to each other on stage in a monster film set

#Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Turtle
#Monsterdon #WrongFrogs

@allanb @aburka @miru I suppose we are not really achieving immersion at the moment, between the subtitles and all this interaction I'm having on Mastodon

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

finally watching Devil Girl From Mars which i missed when we did it #Monsterdon

this soon becomes one of the most scene-to-scene unpredictable movies i’ve watched in a while #monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

@jadebees

Like "Iron Sky" but on Mars and with top-heavy starlets

I call it "Faster, Space Adolf, Kill, Kill"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 😠 😡 🪐 🚀 🐀 🦇 🕷️ 👾 😱

I gave myself a post-hoc semi bingo by reasoning that if there really are 'helmets of dubious airtightness', which I think those were, and if the astronauts survive walking around in the 'rare' atmosphere, that must mean that the atmosphere is 'convenient[ly] breathable'.

Thank you @Taweret for hosting and @cherizilla for bingo! I didn't see @JoeWynne this time but I hope he's doing OK. You too, all you delightful #Monsterdonians. Hope to see you next time!

@Zerofactorial <3 Mars Zorak

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@ohiofi yum now me too

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature

anyway that's another movie launched into space, great job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@aburka "Guilty as charged, your honour."

#monsterdon

@paco I suppose they did have that one recording of the Martian speech, she would have had to fake that

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi

Onigiri the size of rugby balls!

#Monsterdon

@strangefour literally cardboard because most of them were drawings

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

Over to @miru now where I am promised some traditional(?) Godzilla violence

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Gerald Less, his brother.

Thanks once again, @Taweret , for hosting the angrily red movie. #Monsterdon

“Spiritual and emotional infants” Yep #Monsterdon

@Lazarou One of a kind!

#Monsterdon #Cinemagic

The amoebic goo went on to straighten up, improve it's image, and later would star in The Stuff (1985)!

#monsterdon

NASA couldn't spring for helmet visors, or a motor for the boat. 🤷‍♂️

#Monsterdon #TheAngryRedPlanet

@ramsey he was ahead of his time....
#Monsterdon #Cinemagic #NormanMaurer

#monsterdon #cinemagic

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret .. thanks for nothing! :)

Thank you @Taweret for another great #Monsterdon
