She is the perfect warm and sensitive woman because she cannot speak.

#Monsterdon

Theremin-based control systems? Christ this is some shit UX.

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Lay (mis)understanding of the Bohr model strikes again

#Monsterdon

Cecil is wearing 80s appropriate bling. #Monsterdon

The theremin as input device! #monsterdon

Oh, this tiny asteroid has warring factions, because of course it does
why not
sure let's go

@monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

"A spy for the solarites"

I can assure you that he's a tellurian (well, possibly with selenian citizenship)

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

I like this film for the ostentatious sets

#monsterdon

Appropriate that Roku gives me commercials for COPD treatment. #Monsterdon

I look forward to these solarites, maybe they will be good communist
#monsterdon

Ironically Frank's parents on earth have also been pestering him to find a nice girl and settle down #monsterdon

We call it the Theramin interface. We use it for everything!

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@Zerofactorial @CactuarJoe whut like pan-am? -bad ears dad #Monsterdon

Introducing an enemy faction 43 minutes into the movie? That's a choice.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Chapman sporting the very deep V. This shit is weird. #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero Yeah! I'm feeling like two men floating off into the infinite void would be a pretty common happenstance in this space force. #Monsterdon

Shot on location on the 9th hole of a mini-golf course. #monsterdon

Pesky Solarites, so high and mighty about how they live on the Sun and all #monsterdon

@diazona (coughs politely) yes, but

SMOKIN HOT

#monsterdon

The junior military guy looks like Steve Carell

#monsterdon

Every so often this guy sounds like a Temu Peter Graves

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Oof. No need to send the man's beans and frank right into the camera lens, pal. 🙈 #Monsterdon

"I can't work under these conditions"
Buddy, you're not doing a damn thing here #Monsterdon

Seriously. Where did these people study acting? a Sears & Roebuck kiosk? #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

@paco some sort of vanity role for someone's relative or a starlet who couldn't actually act? #monsterdon

@neia squawking 1200 #Monsterdon

A spy for the Solarites? Now who are THEY? #monsterdon

Does that table of broken wine glasses control the phantom planet's gravity drive? #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe they don't seem to have a problem with just jumping into deep space without a tether #monsterdon

Oh, yeah, I remember reading that about Einstein. Too bad our planet isn't dense enough.

#Monsterdon

I mean, y'all have been pretty fast and loose with the spacewalks so far, they could have just walked out and disappeared. #monsterdon

Frank's kinda fussy, huh? #Monsterdon

Wait does that tape machine say "Transformer" on it? It's very blurry.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Did they bring in a pro athelete to play Beecher? #monsterdon

We didn’t like your rocket, so we yeeted it

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Look, the woman playing the woman who doesn't talk could NOT be worse than any of these male actors, and she's a heckofalot more beautiful than they are dammit this is just the patriarchy in action boo boo boo boo

Summary: “well ,that’s impossible” #Monsterdon

This graph paper of a screen looks just like a space ship! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon in this movie, they do apparently just get up and walk off their rockets all the time

"Well thank got we got the rocket back, balsa ain't cheap on the moon!"

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"I can't work under these conditions!" --Frankchapman #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

Still can't unsee the Judge Doom eyes in that airpack.

#monsterdon

"Two men just don't walk off a rocked in the middle of....... SPACE" Almost lost that one too. This guy needs cue cards too. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"It seems serious, sir, he left all his Judas Priest tapes behind." #monsterdon

"... Instructions teletyped in your recorder..." Ah, the future
#Monsterdon

"but it doesn't make sense" seems to fit well enough in this movie then. #monsterdon

I just realized one of the two women of Phantom planet is mute and the only other woman is the switchboard operator on the moon. This movie is not going to pass the Bechdel test, is it?

#monsterdon

The tape recorder looks like something out of Fallout or Starfield

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

No. You cannot seriously tell me you're doing a FREE JUMP *BETWEEN* SHIPS WITHOUT A TETHER

#monsterdon

"So, blast off, and good luck" — Edward R. Murtow

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe counterpoint: THROW MORE MEN INTO SPAAAAAAACE

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

so the recorder was Chekov's Recorder #monsterdon

Spacewalk technique: just jump, it'll be fine

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
crotch shot!

@starkraving666 And space docking!

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@Taweret Gonna run out of eligible ladies as wives at this rate #monsterdon

Don’t just accept the bride selling! Geez #Monsterdon

Nobody told me there'd be sword fighting #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

Hell of a jump. #monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Balsam rocket #2 hanging in space.

FROGMEN

OF

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

That was 100% a spaceship sword fight. #Monsterdon

@Taweret *running into someone you know from space school even though you're on a mysterious unknown asteroid* Hey, small world

#monsterdon

@knifeslinger Only took 20 minutes to track it down (there is a surprising amount of queer space romance out there): "One Giant Leap" by Kay Simone. And I think my little ace heart enjoyed it because it's the definition of a slow burn (rocketry pun not intended, but I'm leaving it in) and the reader don't have to sit through too many sex scenes early on.

#Monsterdon

The rockets are gonna go ass to ass! SO HAWT

#monsterdon

Blue Danube should be playing about now. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

So to be clear this is a movie about astronauts looking for an astronaut who was looking for astronauts? #monsterdon

Zetha was hoping to go to Earth and check out some goth clubs.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon They keep sending people to investigate?!

the more spaceships disappear the more they send #monsterdon

BLAST OFF

TAKE OFF

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND, WHICH IS IT?

#monsterdon #phantomplanet

oh no, they're gonna be smol

#monsterdon

ok so this is a new brunet and a new... less-blond guy right? #monsterdon

"So blast off, and good luck!"

I'd prefer the Beautiful luck, sir. #Monsterdon

The tiny men also put pillows under his blanket in his bunker so NASA would think he's asleep #monsterdon

And food replicators?!!! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon she cant speak but she fuuucks

@CactuarJoe Jokes on them, it's got a busted air line #monsterdon

Unidentified object! Because humans haven't discovered transponders yet?

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Now that they offered him a woman. Misogyny is out there.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Why are the ships always flying the long way?

My future on Rayton.
#Monsterdon

Well dicks. #monsterdon

...Wait, this is Dude, Where's My Car? but in outer space. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hahaha

ah, of course, this movie is just whole-ass capitalist propaganda #monsterdon

Chapman is having women thrown at him and he just wants to go home. Mhmm. #Monsterdon

Sorry you can't go back to earth but you are a free subject of the planet and oh also here have a wife too #Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "So,blast off, and good luck."

#Monsterdon

Welcome to space. You have total freedom. And by that we mean you're free to do exactly what we tell you and you can choose from any one of these two choices. #Monsterdon

the original breatharians #monsterdon

This town is like if Bedrock had a carbon monoxide leak. #monsterdon

Bad neighborhood. They hotwired his rocket #monsterdon

You TRASHED MY RIDE!? #Monsterdon

You just know he's going to choose the woman who doesn't speak. As is right and proper etc.

#monsterdon

Is the brunette a robot? She turns off when people leave the room she is always standing it.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Spoke too soon! Popular Girl is jealously loved by Local Man after all

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ohh noo i have to live on this capitalist dream world where everyone tells me im smart and they offer me all their daughters to marry oh the horror

Ah, yes, oxygen, the base of the food pyramid
#monsterdon
