@AlsoPaisleyCat Oh my gosh, really?! I totally missed that!
@athena_rising Relieved maybe
@diazona @hollie Time to make a #Monsterdon fan film. ;-)
This fight would be better if they were inside a wrestling ring #monsterdon
@rallias nah i only downloaded the one movie, that was enough for me π #monsterdon
I really identified with the Aztec mummy. Not so much with the robot. It was unfair billing. The mummy had way more scenes.
Also, that was not a robot. I know, because I took Chem 11a from that guy.
@hollie Oh I'm down for that
@springdiesel Well, to be fair so would we, if we wore courderoy! #Monsterdon
@lytta It is the Miracle of #Monsterdon
@lytta Ready for part 2?
@RufusJCooter @Taweret I mean it felt like they spent about 62 minutes on exposition
I can't believe how casually each flashback or exposition added days/weeks/months/years to this movie's timelineβ we know that, *at minimum*, this family lived their normal lives for 5 years while they knew the temporary location of an undead monster
AND that he would never truly rest until he got those artifacts back. Those kids must be teenagers by the end
I mean the robot probably just wanted the breastplate for purposes? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon well so much for the robot!
We need a flashback sequel to this that's just Edward and Flora's sassy little girl telling her side of the story
"And I KNEW she was lying about those slippers, l KNEW Mommy was out with the mummy again, but does anyone listen to me? NO"
Wow, that was dumb, but I did enjoy the final fight sequence.
I have many questions. Some are about this movie, but most of those don't need answered.
I'm not even going to write a new outro toot for tonight's movie, enjoy this flashback instead
AWRIGHT POPOCA!!!
@ranjit No more mummies vs. whatever for #Monsterdon. There's way too little versus going on.
I have seen better written (and acted) Twisted Sister music videos than this movie
#monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai The pyramid collapses in the next one -- this #Monsterdon selection #TheRobotVsTheAztecMummy actually came before #TheWrestlingWomenVsTheAztecMummy -- unless it happened in this movie also and I wasn't paying enough attention.
@moira @CactuarJoe The producer was probably inspired by Heart of Darkness #monsterdon #conrad
Huh. I'm no filmmaker, or professional film critic, or whatever, but I feel like if your movie's runtime is 65 minutes, and you spend 30+ minutes on exposition... maybe that's more an episode of a TV show, than a movie?
Dah well. Thanks everyone for watching along! thanks @Taweret for hosting! Have a great week & see you next Sunday!
The movie does look better in the original black and white versus the AI enhanced color
@ranjit Oh, right. They did, but it was just a very brief hint that they escaped into the night.
they were dancing together for a second there #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Somebody invite the mummy to mastodon
I lost track of the motivations here, but with two minutes left to the movie the mummy and the robot are finally in the same room. #Monsterdon
The robot must have caused a hilarious electricity bill or why else its appearance was so short? #Monsterdon
I think you could extract out just the 5 minutes with the graveyard guard and the robot and preserve 100% of my enjoyment of that movie #monsterdon
Cutting off someone's head and stealing some uranium to build a human-robot to defeat the guardian mummy might seem like the obvious way to get at the map on the breastplate that will lead you to an ancient treasure, but I think I've come up with a simpler plan : Photograph the map.
I liked the Young America Horror Club recommendation at the end. I will always remember those poignant words at the end.
"Stop all this violence and killing. Go back and take these with you to guard like you did before, when you started all of this violence and killing."
"MWUAAAAGGGGHHH!"
It's like Lennon met McCartney.
Thatβs not a versus. Theyβre just leaning on each other.. Ok and yelling #Monsterdon
So do we have an actual count of how much of that movie was flashback? It was like 35 minutes of a 63 minute film, yeah? #Monsterdon
I mean... _wow_.
Well we all joined the Young America Horror Club tonight. Congrats.
10 minutes until #Monsterdon #TheCurseOfTheAztecMummy #DoubleFeature
Ok... Mummy defeats robot. Is this just going to be a thing?
Mummy vs Bugs Bunny
Mummy and the war against Florida
Mummy and the shame of gingivitis
I mean, these things practically write themselves.
@Violinknitter or writing. #Monsterdon
Okay, the original is "whale on" https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/usage-of-whale-wail-wale
@starkraving666 Just think only an hour to go! #Monsterdon
Goatee guy has big Elon energy #monsterdon
@Louisa lobster sticks to magnet, mummy beats up robot
welp
thanks friends lol #monsterdon
Well. Glad that's over. It came not a moment too soon.
That robot was not a kneejerk #Monsterdon
what we need now is a Commando Cody to cleanse our BRAINS
Mummy for the win!
Robot and mummy sitting in a cemetery
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Robot was just proto Big Daddy.
Mummy makes short work of robot!
@blogdiva That's the flan! --dad #Monsterdon
...and it's done. Oookay #monsterdon
better plan: soak the mummy with an accelerant while it's down and then light it on fire immediately after taking its stuff
(but i'm glad the mummy got to go back to sleep, he wasn't the bad guy here)
So this whole time Flora could have just said, "Hey baby, calm down, take your stuff and go back to bed, it'll all be fine"
CALLED IT #monsterdon
I get the feeling that the writers of the movie might not have known much about radium or nuclear physics
Boom over
Okay in this take go ham on the empty robot suit
Okay, they have at least placated the mummy, but how will it go back when the relevant part of the pyramid was collapsed?
@blogdiva The real translation doesn't help me understand it any better. Is it: "He filled the face with fingers?"
What's that mean?
#Monsterdon π€ :AztecCalendar: π¨βπ¬ πΊοΈ π±
OH THAT'S the moral of the story! I see, I see.
Wow.
@Taweret he's not heavy! he's my rooobooootttt #Monsterdon
well well #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon This is a Lurchador fight, finally.
This was the longest 65 minutes of my entire life. #Monsterdon
wait the mummy went the wrong way, the mummy has exited the tomb, that's not THE END THE MUMMY IS ON THE LOOSE #monsterdon
So nice of the incidental music to pause for her big speech.
Why is there a window into inside the robot, so we can see the torso wearing a shirt, thus making it even more clear it's NOT A FUCKING ROBOT AT ALL
Nooooooo robby #monsterdon
I think we have a winner #monsterdon
Robot ripped to scrap metal!!
or scrap cardboard
And the mommy's Landing some good hits in the first round but he's taking a couple of beatings too. Now we got action in The Spectator stands
the pencil mustache is only working for one of these two gentlemen #Monsterdon
Mummy took him out.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Mummydom?
Who's making popcorn? #monsterdon
Is that a kazoo being used for the fight music?
the mummy, like, "are you KIDDING me? YOU again!?"
#monsterdon
and them they all died of radiation sickness
#monsterdon
Electrical Attack!β‘οΈβ‘οΈ #monsterdonbingo #Monsterdon
#monsterdon next time give the robot knees
@starkraving666 yeah, 2:1 ratio is standard? #ChecksNerdNotes #Monsterdon
robot and mummy just trying to hug, but they're both so badly designed that they keep shorting out. #monsterdon
I want to see a good clean fight, no doomsday weapons or disintegrator beams, make it a good fight
#monsterdon I kinda shipped them
the bat with that weird smile was literally the same one from just outside, amazing
Robot meets mummy less than five minutes before the end of the movie??? #Monsterdon
This gonna be the best weigh-in
bro what even #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π€ :AztecCalendar: π¨βπ¬ πΊοΈ π±
Ok I guess it is gonna be a snuggle fight but that robot is tippy
