@raindrops_and_roses i think she was the Akemi Tani I spotted in the credits. IMDB doesn't have her in anything else though, and no picture either, so i'm just assuming. #monsterdon
"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
@yatsu Absolutely! I noticed that too.
So, they are AWARE of space gravity issues.... (looking at the rotated camera for the rocket takeoff shot)
"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
@Taweret will "float off into the nightmare void" be the new "fuck off into the sea"?
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
Space junk warning.
"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 π€·
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
Wait wait wait waitβthey're sending out *another* ship? #Monsterdon
@Ranjit @Taweret@octodon.social Small universe, more like.
This guy's gonna get Event Horizon'd #monsterdon
Okay, they have some jets when their suits don't get wacked by meteors
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
"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."
@allanb It's a very distinctive spot
I both appreciate flipping the reference frame 90Β° to show relative angles but also kinda think they probably just fucked up and did it on accident
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
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 πΆ βHollie Rayton
In some ways this seems like a precursor to βSpace 1999β, minus the awesome uniforms.
#monsterdon
"...it has all the indications and characteristics of a space ship!"
"Sir, it's just a dot."
@paco Not sayin' we don't approve though....
okay, sorry, Smol Frank Chapman
#Monsterdon BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING AIR.
That's suspiciously rock-looking "breadfruit"
The hot one is mute? Get her some paper and pencil.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet
#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.
Pimping out the girls
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"...
smol planet, big gravity energy

"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 π±
Yes, just breathing the oxygen of your atmosphere will restore you. Like inflating a balloon!
@monsterdon
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
Itβs 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 isnβt done right it makes everyone move like a bunch of clowns. Itβs 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.
Liara was pretty gleeful when she said he'd never see his world again.
#Monsterdon
wait. do they have smol oxygen?
so you're saying you're a world of micro-oxygen
Oh snap dark-haired lady is jealous
Well that was predictable. #monsterdon
The ladies will help you grow
#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"
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
Okay! That Gulliverβs Travels reveal was pretty good! #monsterdon
oh yes, in the middle of a trial, no time for explanations. #monsterdon
Rumor has it that the filmmakers unsuccessfully tried to get an insurance policy from Lloyds of London to cover their losses if extraterrestrial popcorn was discovered before the movie was released.
man, those suits must be awfully sweaty if they don't even wear a top. thank fuck he had his gaunch on.
...aw MAAAAAAN is this gonna be another "What is This Thing You Call Love" plot? :/ #Monsterdon
What is this trial even for?
βYou will be judged by a jury of your cheerleader peersβ
#monsterdon
okay an EVA suit where the helmet can just flip open like that is a HUGE design flaw and would never withstand the vacuum of space, wtf were they thinking #monsterdon
"My name is Frank Chapman and I'm here to sleep with your women"
you are charged with being small and naked in space. how do you plead?
#Monsterdon probably a lot like birth, wet, musty, polyester birthβ¦
#Monsterdon LAW. IN SPAAAAAAAACE!
Everyone hold onto your judgement rocks!
Quick, someone get that naked, hamster-sized man some blue nursing scrubs. #Monsterdon
@Louisa Me too
#monsterdon
Are these all the previous astronauts who crashed here, or are they truly aliens?
This counts. #monsterdon
Hot. Naked. Man rasslinβ. #Monsterdon
That man just deflated
THAT MAN IS NUDE!!!
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet
Some real Army of Darkness vibes going on here with the smol men tapping on the glass of his helmet
I love how these disheveled spacecavemen look like Hollywood's idea of proto-hippies
Oh shrinkage how awkward π¬ #Monsterdon
Aw man, Frank's naked again. :/ #Monsterdon
Nude Earthmen are the most dangerous
Is his catheter gonna shrink when he does? #monsterdon #phantomplanet
Riding the vibrator ship to Specific Fetish Planet #monsterdon
Okay so basically five people in the special effects department were all arguing about what gravity should be doing in this movie and their solution was, "We'll just rotate through everyone's suggestions and it will average out"
Chapman retracting into himself like a frightened penis
