It took three men to write that opening monologue. #monsterdon
oh snap, that was a long ass intro before the puffy halloweenesque title font and credits
There's a credit for "interplanetary sound"
God, that is how car crashes in my dreams go. Just slowly, slowly, slowly, right into the car in front of me. Nothing could be done to stop this. It was inevitable. #monsterdon
"Interplanetary sound" gets a credit title #monsterdon
who ever or what ever did the subtitles for my version tried their best
#monsterdon β’οΈ , now with Crunchy Cosmic Clusters! π
well the credits are certainly floating around enough for this to be space. #monsterdon
Aaaa! :kaboom: #monsterdon
"...sir, we have popcorn shrimp incoming!"
THE PHANTOM PLANET in custom cloud (rocket exhaust?) shaped letters #Monsterdon
Four Crown Production suggests the film had British backers without deep pockets #monsterdon
The styrofoam! It's attacking! #monsterdon
Francis X. Bushman and Richard Kiel! This counts as star-studded for us :D #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon sorry I am 3 mins late
#monsterdon THEY KASPLODED?!?!
This is an awfully cyberpunk ship for 1961

I like the boing boing sound of the radar
That was his oh face
we're headed right for the giant fried chicken leg!! edit: forgot to tag #Monsterdon
That really doesn't look like they're pulling 11 Gs #monsterdon
and there's our title #monsterdon
four crowns and loooooots of peanut brittle
My God, that funnel cake is gonna kill them all! #monsterdon
I'm watching the not-AI-colorized version on YouTube BTW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTkOud2MBso #monsterdon
wow, four whole crowns? #monsterdon
It's space granola!
#monsterdon
The people of Earth don't actually want to explore space - this whole thing is just a ruse to get rid of the blandest white guys #Monsterdon
This is happening around 1980? I guess space travel and fusion energy were always just 20 years away.

No control, no acting skills, no coffee... #PhantonPlanet #Monsterdon
Those nooks and crannies really hold the spaceships! #Monsterdon
PULL HARDER DAMMIT #monsterdon
I exist in the wrong parallel universe why weren't *we* taking rockets to other moons and planets by 1980? #Monsterdon
We're no match for the eleven herbs and spices. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Oh no! Giant cauliflower! #Monsterdon
The crunchiest looking asteroids in space.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet
That's no asteroid! That's a piece of galactic fried chicken!
Analog space computers is absolutely the way to go - signed, any software Dev
Very airforce (including pressure suits)
That "dreary old moon," how droll #monsterdon
Whoops, brain planet #Monsterdon
It came from the deep fryer. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch is on duty! (in others words, HI! I'm back!)
Maybe it's just the ominous shade of black the colorization gave them, but those space suits look like David Lynch-style stilsuits. #monsterdon
1980β¦ the FUTURE
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon getting a lot of value from these dials and gauges.
dreary old MOOOOOOOOON - HYAH!
"American International Entertainment feels like a contradiction in terms. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon hahahaha I blurted out βcassettes. Hahahaah fukkx you man!β And giggled hard.
"That dreary old moon" does not sound like a nice romantic song. #MONSTERDON #PhantomPlanet
#Monsterdon π¨βπ π©βπ π βοΈπͺ π±
This ship is advanced - it has a CASSETTE TAPE RECORDER
ooh "azimuth." it's a fun word that I enjoy #monsterdon
"Dreary old moon" #monsterdon
Those headrests sure look comfy #Monsterdon
Well, at least the control room *looks* like a control room in this one.
The distant future, the year 1980 #monsterdon

Digging the Interiors π
ah yes, 1980, when we wore suits with alien tentacles down the arms. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon this story is mostly bullshit. But we have #SuddenStringSection handy!
could their intellect be beyond what humanity has achieved - or could they be a bunch of dum dums
@jonny Well the stream already froze over here, so I might take advantage of this or maybe not...thanks either way.
Are we the best, or are we of no importance whatsoever? There is no in between. #monsterdon
A very spacious rocket cabin here #monsterdon
This future will reveal some career train wrecks, I'm certain. #monsterdon
Grape Nuts. Granola. Chicken nuggets. Whatever floats your boat. #monsterdon
Lunar bases imply interesting manufacturing and fuel production capabilities
Unlike THEM!, this movie treats the atom bomb as a wonderful step forward for humanity #Monsterdon
At least the rocket flame isn't making noise.
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!!!???? #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet
This vo is a little bit tooon the nose. #Monsterdon
Well... They *might* be giants #monsterdon
"What, then, will the future reveal!?"
Well, judging by this opening, a hokey self-important piece of schlock. #Monsterdon
Hey everyone! It's that time of week again, when my #Monsterdon family and I participate in a group watch of a ... movie. If you are not planning to join us, you might want to mute the following hashtags:

Phantom Planet, the first screenplay made entirely of rhetorical questions. #monsterdon

All monsterdons begin with a Narrator(tm) making sure we understand that this story is gonna be *serious*
You know it's a good #Monsterdon when it begins with the explosion of an atom bomb
An inconceivable number!
This personal massager is only the beginning #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
he *is* a mere driftwood, stupid #Monsterdon
Do they have women? And are they hot? #monsterdon
disorienting fake space footage #monsterdon
like i feel vaguely motion-sickness-y
This narrator's really talking out the edible huh #monsterdon
Fucking hell, calling me out Mr Narrator.
#monsterdon off to a strong start: our "God given gift of science." Ah, you innocent babes.
This whole intro is ... clickbait?
I vote driftwood #monsterdon
tag yourself, i'm an unimportant piece of driftwood #monsterdon
What is Earth... I often ask myself
There's no denying that They Might Be Giants and what are we gonna do unless they are? #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
"Driftwood" That there is a line from Welles War of the Worlds #monsterdon
#Monsterdon I vote , driftwood.
#monsterdon πΆ "i can tell that we are gonnaa be friends" πΆ
Driftwood? #monsterdon
Baker! β’οΈ
