As long as I'm on the Earth, I might as well pay homage to one of the great Earth traditions -- climbing ladders. #Monsterdon

the only thing keeping me in this movie is that swamp monster rolling around on the ground #monsterdon

"7 years, since the last of the great robot wars. And the end of civilization as we know it."

Yeah, it's a real shame that now you have to live in a glass dome utopia on the moon with clean water and air and plenty of healthy thriving people I guess

#Monsterdon

We seem to be thoroughly lost in this second act. I have no idea what is going on except that the counter-terrorism op wot for going to Delta-3 is stopping off at Earth for… repairs, I guess? And there are some remaining forces of the Delta-3 government still fighting an insurgency of some sort.

Pace has come to a screeching halt.

#Monsterdon

In the future, all panty lines are visible and gender agnostic. #monsterdon

Shadows in the woods. Four possibilities:
- human mutants
- leftover robots
- robot mutants
- mutant robots

#monsterdon

600 hours? as in 25 Earth days? Ain't nobody's got patience enough for that #monsterdon

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know... Maybe something about how we're walking a dead world that was conquered almost a decade by (I would assume) violent killbots. Makes me kinda moody." #Monsterdon

I think I missed something. Earth has carcinated wood trolls now?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

if I was designing robots I would simply not give them t-rex arms

#monsterdon

Poutine monsters? #monsterdon

I'm waiting for the ship to turn into Megamaid

#Monsterdon

@Taweret you need something to fill the spaces between the awkward dialogue

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@funkula I'd believe some of it could have been coincidental

#Monsterdon

Can someone get some fresh scenery for Mr. Palance. He looks gaunt and underfed.

#monsterdon

@Taweret Yes, they need to have a friendly government on Beta-3, so that Beta-3 will deliver drugs to the moon.

For this purpose they've stolen the moon's most powerful warship to do something something.

Our Heroes.

#monsterdon

why is there so much awkward silence?

#monsterdon

#TheHillsHaveEyes #Monsterdon

For people who have lived on Luna for over a decade, they are handling the Earth's gravity surprisingly well

#Monsterdon

The extremely late-70s ship section landing with 50s special effects is a bit jarring. #monsterdon

one (1) abandoned jeep. that's how you know it's The Apocalypse. #monsterdon

Interesting casting choice with these four as the action heroes #monsterdon

He’s wearing blue uggs.

#Monsterdon

@randy_s Hah!
Actually I figured that was based on the Silent Runnings bots.
#Monsterdon

Oh wow what a hellhole Earth has become

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

no no, swamp thing, wrong movie!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

600 hours just passed like nothing apparently

That's like 25 days

#Monsterdon

Were those giant mutant truffles at the base of those trees?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Miniature work is pretty good. Could use some more greebles for sure, but plenty fun to look at.

#Monsterdon

Also beating TNG to the punch with saucer separation. Can't believe how much 80s trek owes to this masterpiece #monsterdon

they're doing this to get drugs from the cape guy, right? is that what's going on?

#monsterdon

“Tell him he owes me a rematch at chess.”

*everyone laughs

All the chef’s kisses.

#Monsterdon

The dramatic module separation
#monsterdon

say what else you will for it but this movie does deliver a lot of shots of various hands pressing light up buttons #monsterdon

Saucer section detaches.

Wait! I saw that Star Trek episode!

#monsterdon

I kinda like these chunky robots. Body positivity #monsterdon

All this to make a stop & shop on earth?
#monsterdon

600 hrs. a lot can happen in 600 hrs. #monsterdon

Pretty dramatic music for parallel parking in space. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Wait, Earth is along the way to Delta-wthatsis from the Moon?

life after 2020 tells me that 7 years isn't enough time for them to feel like the apocalypse was a lifetime ago #monsterdon

Huh, space-dad ringing up his friend Charlie who they can totally trust is a surprisingly THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK moment, a year before it came out

#Monsterdon

@Taweret

and?

#Monsterdon

So despite being in space at speeds great enough to have visible star-to-star parallax, they're going to have a quick jaunt back to earth in... only uh, 600 hours? #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Where are people actually finding the #Monsterdon movies, anyway? I can't for the life of me find where the links are supposed to be coming from. Spent the past half an hour trying to get a browser to load archive.org on my TV only to find tonight's pick isn't even there, only trailers.

Urge to turn space ship into Transformer alt mode growing...
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

To quote Cowboy Bebop, nothing good comes from the Earth anymore. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Harp music to run from robots, perfectly reasonable

i am not really paying attention i think i got what i need to know from this movie #monsterdon

Oh not Earth, especially not Canada. #monsterdon

Never bring a spear to a robot fight #monsterdon

You missed Earth? The gravity? Oh, girl.
#Monsterdon

Spears and trash can lids vs robots 🤔

#Monsterdon

I AM THE GORIAN EMPIRE!

INSERT COIN

#monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

"...we have a malfunction of the gynocompass..."
"The what?"

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

wait, did he say earth?

so earth is between the _moon_ and _delta 3_?

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Cultural flow units?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon So, like, Jack Palance is Paul Atreides in this?

Those poor robots. Stop tasing them dudes and dudettes.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

Sparks, tell we're going to die out here without saying we're going to die out here.

#monsterdon

definitely getting "we used to have human guards, but we don't have to pay the robots, so they MUST be better, right? right?" from those guard robots. #monsterdon

"I do not know with what weapons world War 3 will be fought, but world war 4 will be fought with medieval polearms and arm-waving robots" #monsterdon

I'm NOT sure, Merrick

#Monsterdon

of the ... gylectra? compass?

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @athena_rising@beige.party Paranoia if Friend Computer was secretly Larry, Curly, & Moe?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@lytta We have seen two blondes yes

I didn't really notice the faces either but they have slightly different hair colors and different uniforms and are on different planets

#Monsterdon

Did this robot just get pissed off and smash this pipe? #monsterdon

It feels wrong but right in a bizarre way the last few movies we have watched with factory basement scenes. Like Blacula, Werewolf of Washington and this future of New Washington movie would make a good bad triple feature.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

I have concerns about the practicality of the footwear. #monsterdon

The humans don't seem to have learned anything about robot combat during the robot wars

#monsterdon

Gorfians take no prisoners
#monsterdon

The minute he put on that purple cape Palance became a megalomaniac. Probably. #monsterdon

Were somw of these locations used in Blackula?

#Monsterdon

The shield lol

#monsterdon

ahahaha! crab-fighting! <snipsnipsnip> 🦀

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

Robot needs diaper changed badly.
#monsterdon

Watch out! The robots are gonna DM us pictures of John Wick in the style of Studio Ghibli, trending on artstation! #Monsterdon

We do get a robot war! We don't just have to read about them in the scroll!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@athena_rising this doesn't make it to robotron. this barely makes it to berserk

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Everybody was kung fu robot fighting...
Those cats were fast as lightning.

#monsterdon

Where are the fookin' beam weapons?? #monsterdon

Also these robots would fail a game of Red Rover #Monsterdon

@lytta I think there's one with red uniform patches (Kim) and one with buff patches #monsterdon

WHO'S GONNA FIX THAT VALVE? #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

If any gang needs a sonic screwddriver, it's this one.
#Monsterdon

ah, if only we had a teleporting robot we could use for this #monsterdon

I thought these robots were supposed to be amazing new technology, but these things are dumb and slow. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

They're not saying "Hoop hoop" anymore. Of course they're going to lose. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

These sinister black robots are amazing. #monsterdon

awkward silence to confront robots to

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Why does this feel like a live-action game of Robotron?

oo, okay, all the robbits coming for them was nice tho. was this a rejected Doctor Who script, or... #monsterdon

@georgieboy @Taweret I like how obvious it is that they're rotoscoped because they didn't even try to illuminate what should theoretically be illuminated by it #monsterdon

I don't wanna be a critic about your security system here, Jack, but I feel like having robots that randomly break your shit is probably not the best defense you could get. #Monsterdon

Oh we're too fancy here on Delta 3 for red alerts, we have General Alarms instead

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@CactuarJoe We haven't had enough restroom scenes for him to show up yet #monsterdon

Small edit, do the slow zoom in on his face, THEN have him say "Sound the general alarm." Much more dramatic than the reverse. #Monsterdon

Poke them with the pointy sticks!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hey, didn't I shoot the shit out of this place in New Vegas?
#TheShapeOfThingsToCome1979

Now the sets and physical miniature FX remind me of Starcrash

#Monsterdon
