"I want action, not theories" right after the scientist shot the cone #Monsterdon

WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT INTO IT????

#monsterdon

Gotta wear my tie to visit the cone #Monsterdon

As a Station Wagon Appreciator, I am enjoying this movie so far. #Monsterdon

Is that Austin Powers father? #Monsterdon

"Powers requested there be no publicity so we wouldn't have to hire any extras" #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Quatermass would've sorted this out a good hour in #monsterdon

congressional ufo hearings. #monsterdon is topical as always

look at this beautiful scenery behind us. the electrical tower

#monsterdon

spelled Nimoy's name wrong.
we're off to a good start.

#Monsterdon

I'll be joining #Monsterdon late - waiting for the hubby to find a good Save spot in his game & come upstairs.
#GenX #marriage

Edit: he's here & we're only 7 minutes behind the crowd. He's lucky I love him & waited THAT long.

Heh. Did he say Riverdale? #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

is it really international if it's american?

#monsterdon

Ah, the last #monsterdon I will participate in as a 38 year old 😢 👽

@CactuarJoe You mean like all the rented VHS tapes marked "BE KIND REWIND" which were found not actually rewound? #monsterdon

From sub toot digression after tonight's #Monsterdon
I have never seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
But I have seen Fangs...

Hats off to @cheribaker btw. The #monsterdon BINGO cards are crushing it!

#monsterdon Most people in town don't know about the brain-eater parasites, so they're just going to see a guy in a hat running around town shooting cops and telephone operators.

Perfectly normal.

Might have been interesting to include that in the actual movie.

@joewynne If a significant portion of my brain had been eaten you'd be reading about it from me posting on birdsite #monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about The Brain Eaters.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gear & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

@Zerofactorial Maybe it's intended more as a directive. Y'know, "Please attempt to destroy all the monsters" rather than "all of the monsters have been destroyed."

Someone dig up Ishirō Honda, we need to ask him a grammar question. #Monsterdon

@Taweret

Isn't "Rocky Horror Picture Show" required for #mastoween?

So yeah, I say regular #monsterdon for that one. 😎

@CactuarJoe I am pretty sure that after Destroy All Monsters there are in fact some monsters which haven't been destroyed #monsterdon

next, from "Eat My Dust" it's "Watch My Dust" #monsterdon

@strangefour Where was she keeping that? Wait... on second thought, don't tell me. #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

#Monsterdon
Thanks for #TheBrainEaters @Taweret@octodon.social and everyone!

@Louisa
These are totally awesome! I love them!

#Monsterdon

Shout out to the Godzilla movies for accuracy, though. You know what you're getting when you turn on a movie called Godzilla vs. Whatever. There's gonna be Godzilla, there's gonna be a Whatever, and they're gonna fight. God bless. #Monsterdon

@sean
You're right. Other names workshopped for this movie were
Battle of the Brain Eaters
The Keepers
The Keepers of the Earth
Attack of the Blood Leeches
and Battle of the Brain Eaters

I think all of them are even worse, don't you?

#Monsterdon

@chirpbirb It's so bad they couldn't even hide it behind all that smoke. #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

#monsterdon Another wizard! Two separate wizards!

@sean This one got me. :-D #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

#Monsterdon I thought the film was absolutely briliant for the premise "Okay Roger, here's 3 cans of film, some pocket lint, and and overturned Baskin-Robbins sign"

You've got to wonder why the producers of tonight's #monsterdon film chose a 27 year old actor to play an old man with a long white beard.

@joewynne There was no introduction either! I like it. Gets to the point #Monsterdon

@joewynne I'll say this for all the folks that got thirsty for ice-cream - My janky version worked a lot better than I thought it would at first, little chunks of Andes mints and some chocolate chunks in it if my taste buds weren't lying. I'd recommend one- _only_ one if you're in a heat-wave zone though... #monsterdon

#monsterdon Ah, they didn't tell anybody so there wouldn't be a panic, so instead everybody got taken by parasites. Well, they aren't panicking.

Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how those furry little brain slugs built a giant high tech cone. Did they have engineers? Manufacturing facilities? Did Gandalf Nemoy handle it? #Monsterdon

@jonny I just call 'em all Bob. Saves time. #Monsterdon

@blogdiva

"...don't threaten me with a good time," says Walter K Powers.

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Whoops had screen B there not screen A.
And can't get archive to load up again. So here is how grainy it was on Youtube. Oof.
Still interesting composition for a weird ending shot.
#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

A final note so it's at the top of the local feed - #monsterdon is a natural phenomena that happens to all fediverse timelines at 6pm pacific every sunday, and you should mute the hashtag if you don't want it in your feeds :)

Preferences > filters > add new filter
use "#monsterdon" as the keyword

@chirpbirb Hid behind the massive fake beard, too!

#Monsterdon

@forestine I like on how my rip the final note is just a liiiiiiiiiiiittle bit cut off #monsterdon

kind of bummed about my earlier #monsterdon toots not showing up on the hashtag tonight :( the joys of distributed social networks

Every movie should have a THE END card just in case you weren't sure, but the music going DA DA DAAAAA is also helpful. I guess that movie is well and truly over #Monsterdon

Our heroes have ascended to a misty temple to kill Father Time, this is just like a 90s Final Fantasy

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Wait, we don't know if all the brain slugs out in the countryside died when the cone got lit up ... The Queen of the Slugs was technically touching the electrified cone through the scaffolding ...

#Monsterdon

@sean @Taweret

don't forget the gratuitous Wagner in the score
#monsterdon

@joncruz Yes. The one That Was Not Made. The one we Do Not Talk About Outside #Monsterdon (of course).

#monsterdon
It would have been SO EASY to use the movie's premise to build all kinds of tension. Who's infected? Who's not? Who can you still trust?

... but it didn't. They barely used it.

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was so much better, despite somehow losing track of the details of its own plot.

I'll never hear "cone" the same way again.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon ugh, a wet hairball in a jar, gross

fkn... they SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG and he got like TWO MINUTES of screentime tho omfg

#monsterdon

Very disappointed with the number of brains eaten TBH #Monsterdon

Thanks for the short but sweet #Monsterdon @Taweret not only do we have to worry about cooking the planet digging for coal and oil we could also release the Brain Eaters! We must invest in big bug zapper tech to mitigate the risk obviously!

They got the security guard! Time to break out the science guns and have an old fashioned scaffolding shootout

#Monsterdon

@uptownsongclub this one was a thinker but I got there #monsterdon

@yatsu Yeah, they plotted and planned for 200 million years and all they came up with is THE CONE. #Monsterdon

Once again, another Monsterdon is in the can! This one was quite the adventure.

We had:
* Fuzzy toupee looking brain eaters.
* Leonard Nimoy as the evil tribble's cone god.
* More narration voice over than Blade Runner.
* Walter K Powers! (and his amazing coat)

Thanks again to @Taweret for arranging this adventure into the realm of mysterious cone!

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

@Taweret

I assume next we'll have the Brain Snatchers and the Body Eaters?

Thanks! #monsterdon

Here's my final card! #Monsterdon

thanks for hosting, @Taweret , will definitely have to tune in to #monsterdon again next time :3

I love the dullness of the delivery of "nothing could have lived thru that" #monsterdon

@wohali AND Springfield #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe ya know, that could really be it, and i wouldn't be any the wiser. certainly there's nothing in this movie to contradict it. #monsterdon

that was a particularly nutrient-deprived riff-fest, good job mining that one for laughs everybody and thanks @Taweret for hosting again as always ^_^ #monsterdon

@yatsu It's toilet paper, cut himself shaving a tribble. #Monsterdon

And that's a wrap! Thanks @Taweret for the choice of film!

#Monsterdon

”i guess we killed the parasites from the spiral fuel tube"
> the end

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

@sean more like a zap line :rimshot: #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe didn't i hear Mr Scientist say something about they were creatures from the beginning of the formation of oil come back to get us? #monsterdon

Well that was.. that was random. Thanks again @Taweret for hosting! Great riffing #monsterdon! I'm heading out now. If you need me I'll be at The Cone. #TheBrainEaters

ZZZZAP!!! The End. #Monsterdon

KETTERING! #monsterdon

holy fuckin shit 10/10 that was incredible #monsterdon

And they all lived happily ever after. #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Interesting shot composition to end on. But weirdly abrut. Which is I guess all cheezy B monster movies. But still.
#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

wow tubi really wants me to watch the slime people next #monsterdon

Ah, The Brain Eaters. Less than an hour, and yet it lasted forever. #monsterdon

HOW IS IT OVER WHAT THE FUCK

i have SO many QUESTIONS

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

Welp! That was certainly A MOVIE. :D #Monsterdon

wow, we're already done? So short!

Thanks again to @Taweret and everyone else for a great #monsterdon !

ugh, heterosexuality wins again #monsterdon

Is the cone going to fuck off into the ocean now? #Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

okay, i've been reading the feed so close, i missed when that dude got his one white face paint line. is he trying to start a new trend, or... #monsterdon

Keep watching the dirt! Keep watching the CONES! #Monsterdon

Hugging! My last entry for the card! #Monsterdon

"...watch my dust, or you don't know Walter K Pow..."
"WE KNOW!"

#Monsterdon #TheBrainEaters

Oh Glenn, I'm so proud of you for electrocuting a dozen slugs! #Monsterdon

I knew there was a reason for the transmission lines!

#Monsterdon

"nothing could have lived through that"

what, the special effects? i surprisingly am still here after that display, though

#monsterdon #thebraineaters

@Taweret the deadliest kind! #monsterdon

"Fire the gun!"
"We belong dead!"
Frankensteined to death.
#Monsterdon #BrainEaters

Electricity! David Lynch would be proud.
#Monsterdon

ah, more fog. #monsterdon

Does "FIRE THE GUN!!" count as a heroic act? I'll give him that! #Monsterdon

hand drawn lightning ftw

#monsterdon

“let us never speak of this again” #monsterdon

Good job, Bob, you just cut the power to the tri-state area. #Monsterdon
