I think Star Trek stole all of its dumb fighting scenes from this movie.

#Monsterdon

The odds that some of these sets were reused on Star Trek approach 100% #Monsterdon

dick wars
#Monsterdon

Oh, a duel. Hold up, I'll queue up the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WL8Jjtn0fA

#Monsterdon

Third pronunciation of Rayton has been unlocked #monsterdon

There is only one way to settle this dispute:

Man-scaping competition!

#monsterdon

OMG it’s Amok Time! #Monsterdon

"Maybe it's a carryover from Earth and not good taste-"

JUST LIKE THIS MOVIE #Monsterdon

"How is it you're more different than the others?"

Ohhhh he likes her because she can't correct his terrible grammar

#Monsterdon

Cultural enrichment...

He fell in love with her after ten minutes?! #Monsterdon

@raindrops_and_roses must be Laundry day! #wrongmovie #Monsterdon

“I like you. You can’t talk.”
#monsterdon

what if we held hands outside my old spacesuit i wore before i became tiny

#monsterdon

No Raython sign language....? #monsterdon

*extremely The Hollies voice* 🎵 Because of the air that we breathe 🎶

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"the atoms on this planet have narrow urethras..."

#monsterdon

Okay, Space Archie, settle down. We get it; you get to choose between Space Betty and Space Veronica. #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

"...I'm mute so they only have to pay me scale."

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@Taweret they have gravity control, i bet that rock feels fluffy

#monsterdon

Rayton has superior doorway design but their pillow technology is unhinged #monsterdon

Wait. is this a pre global climate change metaphor?
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

I notice you've already unbuttoned your shirt, champ.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

I would like to point out that this is almost exactly the same plot device as featured in Doom 3 (where it was the Elemental Phase Deconstructor)

#Monsterdon

super advanced people love to sleep on stone slabs

#monsterdon

@diazona Like, it's relevant... she's too hot for the part, it's distracting. Give her a speaking role or something. How am I not supposed to not notice when they give her all these close-ups? (pauses movie, hits rewind) it's not my fault

#monsterdon

Retha doesn't look that comfortable trying to catch some shuteye on her stone mattress #monsterdon

Oh goodie. We are gonna get a new kind of bad science on Monsterdon.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Jeez, Chapman, don't be creepy

#Monsterdon

Concentrated beam of heat might speed up our time.

Got it.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@apLundell the leaders sell resin sculptures on etsy #monsterdon

I DARE you to make less sense movie. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

So its a resource depletion story #monsterdon

#Monsterdon blast off, hoser. 😂

That's not how physics works.

"Two men don't just walk out of a rocket in the middle of space."

Actually, they literally did that. Shows what you know, general.
#monsterdon

So, they are AWARE of space gravity issues.... (looking at the rotated camera for the rocket takeoff shot)

#monsterdon

"Two men don't just get off a rocket and walk off into space," he says to the man who just got off a rocket and walked off into space

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

according to Cheech and Chong, Santa Claus would make himself real small, y'know, like, a real small guy. I wonder if these aliens know santa

#monsterdon

"Two men don't just get up and walk off!"

...Don't they? I mean I feel like there's a pretty easy answer for this mystery. #Monsterdon

@whknott Yeah, but that doesn't seem particularly interesting to point out 🤷

#Monsterdon

Rendezvous and spacewalk, but no docking feesl like a silly thing that I had to do for a rescue mission in Juno: New Origins once

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Wait wait wait wait—they're sending out *another* ship? #Monsterdon

@Ranjit @Taweret@octodon.social Small universe, more like.

#Monsterdon

This guy's gonna get Event Horizon'd #monsterdon

Okay, they have some jets when their suits don't get wacked by meteors

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

All the grace of a Christmas ham being dropped onto an ice skating rink. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Anyone else remember those ping-pong balls with the velcro on them and the fabric dartboards that were popular in the mid-eighties? No real reason for asking. Anyway, apparently as part of the shrinking process on the Poppler Planet, shirt buttons must disintegrate or something.

I can't even tell the difference between these spaceships and crews anymore

#Monsterdon

"Something must have happened to the two men we sent out to find out what happened to the two men we sent out to find out what happened to the two men we sent out to find out what happened to them, so we're sending you out."

#Monsterdon

@allanb It's a very distinctive spot

#Monsterdon

I both appreciate flipping the reference frame 90° to show relative angles but also kinda think they probably just fucked up and did it on accident

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Your instructions are being teletyped to you. I could just tell them to you, but that's not how we do things on the Moon. #Monsterdon

General Exposition tripping over his lines is the best part of this movie. #Monsterdon

was that an asian-american actress? in a competent job position? on screen??? this movie is too much (and also Too Much). #monsterdon

I wonder why it seems to never have occurred to these tiny people that the best way to keep human spaceships from crashing into their popcorn chicken planet is to send someone back to Earth to tell the humans not to send spaceships to the popcorn chicken planet

#Monsterdon

Wow, "radio and radar relay" good job getting that line out without tripping #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ fluffy #monsterdon

All I need is the AIR THAT I BREATHE AND TO LOVE YOU 🎶 —Hollie Rayton

#Monsterdon

"...it has all the indications and characteristics of a space ship!"
"Sir, it's just a dot."

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@paco Not sayin' we don't approve though....

#monsterdon

okay, sorry, Smol Frank Chapman

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING AIR.

That's suspiciously rock-looking "breadfruit"

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

And, apparently, it's also pro-harem.

Did Heinlein write this?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Zetha is mute, but she has expressive eyes that say, "come hither small man"

Rest you say? Perhaps I could use some help with that. #monsterdon

Technology? No, We choose to live in a pre-industrial paradise in these barren caves.

#Monsterdon

Pimping out the girls

#Monsterdon

Bride shopping. Very advanced. #Monsterdon

hahaha
#monsterdon

Zeta can't speak. That's terrible Bechdel news #monsterdon

so you have plenty of food, what exactly kind of necessary work do you do now? you just have a billion busy work public works? or...? #monsterdon

Sure, too much free time and not enough work, sure
#monsterdon

This leader dude is pissing me off, the idea that people who don't do meaningless work are "lazy"...

#Monsterdon

"Too much free time, too little work"

BOOOOOOOO they do capitalism on this planet too

#Monsterdon

smol planet, big gravity energy

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

"I don't get it." <-- Chapman. And all of us.

wow all things considered, this guy should actually appreciate the fact that they're willing to allow citizenship for a random drifter who has no way to get home

most nation states hate taking in people in need #monsterdon

@neia ahhhhhhhh logic 😱

#Monsterdon

Yes, just breathing the oxygen of your atmosphere will restore you. Like inflating a balloon!
@monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

this guy's no captain picard and this is no goddamn The Inner Light so maybe he _doesn't_ have to accept his life on your crappy little peanut planet

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

It’s just science. Accept it. #monsterdon

Wonder when that other guy's gonna come back up #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I giggle when the kettle drum leads the marching. If it isn’t done right it makes everyone move like a bunch of clowns. It’s hilarious to witness.

Love learning new science!!
#monsterdon

With sentencing like that for crimes (getting citizenship and a girl guide) it's no wonder that they have to hide the planet.

#Monsterdon

Liara was pretty gleeful when she said he'd never see his world again.
#Monsterdon

wait. do they have smol oxygen?

#monsterdon

so you're saying you're a world of micro-oxygen

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Oh snap dark-haired lady is jealous

#Monsterdon

Well that was predictable. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Vidal Sassoon. Great shampoos. ;)

Now that's a speedy trial. #Monsterdon

Every #Monsterdon movie:

Talk about a speedy trial, the charges weren't even explained!

Sentenced to citizenship, though, so harsh

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

"you speak my language, AND have the same hairstyles"

#monsterdon

Oh good, they have women on the jury at least.

Didn't help the Earthman though, he's fucked.

I am not impressed with the legal tradition of this planet
