Why do these tiny asteroid men have the ability to sew perfectly good work pants but they need that pattern for the shirt that just requires you to fold the fabric over and cut out the neck hole?

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

These repeated asteroid pics in the dream sequence are giving me a KFC craving

#monsterdon

okay this rules

#monsterdon

Do you want Lilliputians? That's how you get Lilliputians. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

YES!

I hope we get a scene with giant props. #monsterdon

Ok, fine, but if there's horses that act like people and people who act like horses I am leaving. #monsterdon

tiny people! in space!

#monsterdon

It’s… Antman. #Monsterdon

Screenwriter desperately scrabbling away like, "I'm *pretty* sure this is how Gulliver did it." #Monsterdon

Gulliver in Spaaaace

#Monsterdon
#PhantomPlanet1961 #PhantomPlanet
#ThePhantomPlanet1961 #ThePhantomPlanet

Do we even NEED to gig on the gravity? I mean, low hanging fruit and all... (see what I did there?)

#monsterdon

@amyfou Filmmakers would do well to note, this is not how you do space penetration

#Monsterdon

I see that Frank's on the rocks again

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

I love when rockets land sideways like planes. I wonder what the plan for take-off is.

#monsterdon

@moira hmmm, mescaline would improve a lot of the movies we watch. #Monsterdon

This is where it gets all Gulliver's Travels.

Is this a satire on Humanity?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The asteroids tractor beam was a shaken quartet of violinists.

@Bluedepth That's crazy talk LOL

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

That tractor beam pulled the rocketship down to the asteroid the long way too

ok yeah that is definitely a giant extra crispy chicky tendy #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I want them to kiss ☄️🪐🌌🌟🌜🌞🌠⭐ in space

hand drawn tractor beam effect even?

#monsterdon

Ahh, the infamous shrinking scene is coming up.....

#monsterdon

Quick, to the recorder!
#monsterdon

Did I just hear R2D2 noises?
WTF!? Was that a Yosemite Sam gun shot?
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

I do like the effects of the mini meteorites zinging around though!

#monsterdon

@sealawyer I do think "out there" is an apt description

#Monsterdon

I too was wondering why the hell they didn't have tethers #monsterdon

they did a better job making him look like he was floating there though

The "Keep Clear" sign on the rocket door as Chapman floats into space is absolutely sending me. #Monsterdon

He's a corpsicle outside, sorry. #monsterdon

OHSA would like some words about them just wandering around on the ship's wings too, without any tethers.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Oh no whats-his-name has floated off into space after squishing Frank back into the rocketship the long way

It just has to be out there
(me about Phantom Planet)
#monsterdon

"Should I tether myself to something? Naaaah, I'm sure it'll be fine." #Monsterdon

"Keep working that RADAR" oh yeah.. just like that.. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

OH NOW IT COMES UP THAT THEY'RE IN FUCKING SPACE #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ooooohhhh noooo im floatttinggg awaayyyyyyy

Every spaceship needs a few components in various parts of the ship whose sole purpose is to spew out steam when needed to add dramatic tension

#Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social not quite spinning but close
#monsterdon

This maintenance closet is definitely accessible from inside the craft just saying #monsterdon

"Someone stuck a space potato in the dang tailpipe again!" #monsterdon

His airline is broken, do you really think he can hear you say that?

#Monsterdon

i don't understand, did the giant space crunchies cut their fuel lines? how does an asteroid get a pair of scissors that large? #monsterdon

when people build these things, they never think about maintenance #monsterdon

And we check off the "gravity doesn't work like that" bingo square. #Monsterdon

They should definitely both go on the spacewalk at once #monsterdon

Ah, yes, send out the whole crew for a space walk
#monsterdon

space sounds like harpipeggios

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"Bring me the space duct tape!" #monsterdon

ecliptic? lol
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon god. The dialogue. Fucking kill me.

Meatiers! Popcorn chicken! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon yeah, looks like it. Here, bend over, squeal like a pig. Thats right.

I feel like these space doors aren't OSHA compliant

#Monsterdon

I like how the screen is labeled “forward viewer.”
#monsterdon

@srol how big can one universe be? Ten square miles? Fifteen? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i quite like the technobabble, it feels at least mildly realistic

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

"What are the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field?"

@moira @blogdiva He placed his hand on his shoulder, and they gave each other a meaningful look.

#Monsterdon

I think we'll make it too. #monsterdon

@Lazarou That's how they power the spaceship

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon thank God the meteors are on a different layer. Otherwise this would be a real problem.

#monsterdon Its like Thunderbirds! But without the color.

Surprise B-fields!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Seems the movies providing the snacks.

#Monsterdon

Lunar base One, bite me #monsterdon

Look out for the giant GrapeNuts! #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

okay, the ship flying through the popcorn chicken was a cool effect tho. #monsterdon

Waiting is what this script is doing to us

#monsterdon

@hollie what about 'ecliptic'? #monsterdon

Hitachi Magic Rocket #monsterdon

we're going nuts down here waiting for something to happen, boys. #monsterdon

I think he has a crush #monsterdon

What’s with all these course corrections? // I call it the corkscrew! Hurr hurr hurr #Monsterdon

@Bluedepth Don't be yucking anyone else's yum, if you can avoid it #monsterdon

Oh dear, the subtitles I got for this one seem to be done by AI. Unreadable.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

#monsterdon "space is almost too quiet"
-a true conversationalist

Is that guy going to make speeches all voyage?

#Monsterdon

Everyone seems a lot more depressed than I'm used to in these pulpy retro scifi flicks #monsterdon

They sent a poet.

#monsterdon

"4.6 miles/second" is, uh, pretty hyperbolic 18,000 miles from the moon (in any direction)

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

My heart pounds like a sledgehammer. Yawn. #monsterdon

effects are not bad by the standards of b movies from that era actually

we've seen so much worse

#monsterdon

❌ "pornography studio"

✅ "recording reproduction unit"

#Monsterdon

Oh boy, here it comes. The Line™ #Monsterdon

"I'll take a crack at anything once."

🤔

#Monsterdon

Lmao what is that a doorway for ants? #monsterdon

Oh, I think "It's almost too quiet" was first said in this movie.

#Monsterdon

Shouldn't someone be making coffee in that control room? #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Strange pride flags they have on their jackets #monsterdon

Meanwhile, colonel stick up his ass #monsterdon

"Interplanetary sound" gets a credit? I guess they're not going for scientific accuracy in this one then #monsterdon

They're penetrating space, they have a recording reproduction unit, what's next, is the phantom planet a giant baby?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon woah! Ladies! Those perms! You poor poor girls! All that time…

I like how they budgeted for switchboard operators in this 1980 future #monsterdon

Hey I recognize that surface!

But not those structures 🤔

#Monsterdon

ALL theories of space. ALL. #Monsterdon

Hair in lower screen
#monsterdon

that is NOT big enough to be a planet

i am absolutely saying

pluto looks at that and goes

"nah. not a planet."

AND PLUTO IS RIGHT

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
