"Sound general alarm"

<comedy brass section ensues>

I question that as a "general alarm" soundtrack choice.

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva Maybe in the future high heels have micro anti gravity generators built in?
#Monsterdon

We need some assistance
We need some *assistance*

#Monsterdon

Stealth and combat in pumps is clearly over-rated. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

#Monsterdon this gal was ousted in a hostile takeover but had time to bring her heels, hot rollers, blue eyeshadow, nail polish and pearls.

What's this? The channels are open to New Washington. And someone's adjusted my chair! #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

elevator button

#monsterdon

She's about to get Agustus Glooped, isn't she? #Monsterdon

The sexy breathless governor of delta-3. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

@Louisa That was basically Portal IIRC

#Monsterdon

Nicky, the Governor #monsterdon

Nikki, the Governor of Delta 3. There's some real gravitas in that name, huh. #Monsterdon

who's father's office building was this filmed in then. #monsterdon

Elevator music that conveys doom

#Monsterdon

The Spaceballs had better security than this place. #Monsterdon

Is there an underwater level coming up? #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

@Taweret I dunno but I hekkin LOVE it #SpaceJazz #KettleDrums #Monsterdon

interesting that they're still rockin' the NYC subway tile aesthetic this far in the future

#monsterdon

I like the red uniforms better #monsterdon

“Nikki… the Governor. You know, Nikki.” #Monsterdon

Doing a stealth sequence and not bothering to edit out your hero "clump clump clump"ing all over the tile floor #monsterdon

(another pan of the tower) didn't we see this already? #monsterdon

her belt is too tight

#monsterdon

Oh nice, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Halls of Doom #Monsterdon

I'm pretty sure this is the secret lab under the White House from Werewolf in Washington #Monsterdon

I propose that "random fedi user asks 'what is #monsterdon?'" be added as an item on all bingo cards going forward #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

I hate the part of the game where you have to move through the beep vat factory without the robot seeing you

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie So far this movie is not worthy to touch the hem of Blacula's cloak #monsterdon

So far I haven't spotted any similarities between this film and the 1936 version.

#monsterdon

@paco @davesdogmaggie Are we going to get any restrooms, do you think?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

wacky music to hide from space robots to

#monsterdon

This looks like the same set as seen in Washington Werewolf. Are we going to get a run in with Dr. Kiss again? Because this is going to be my most favorite movie ever, if so.

#monsterdon

Oh cool a rock quarry? Where are Doctor Who and/or the Power Rangers?
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

...So where's Doctor Kiss? #Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie but now with fewer random bathrooms!

#Monsterdon

Steam Tunnels! Here's your chance movie: Dr. Kiss cameo! #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

#Monsterdon is now trending across Mastodon

#SynonymASongOrPoem is now trending across Mastodon

#あなたのフォロワー順位 is now trending across Mastodon

these guys couldn't afford a brewery

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

why is the music so wacky?

#monsterdon

This is from the era when any large building's basement could double as a set for a scifi film #Monsterdon

Dungeons & Dragons (1979)

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Look at her wondering around the underground pipes in those heels, you'll never see her again....

#monsterdon

So this has absolutely nothing to do with the original The Shape of Things to Come right? Other that THE FUTURE, yes?
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

Emotional support glowsticks #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Look, we bought this smoke machine, we're going to USE it, okay?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

I'm glad to see that the Society for Creative Anachronism still exists in the future #monsterdon

Space Ninjas! Or, Power Ranger putties. It's hard to tell.

#Monsterdon

Okay come on let’s go! One take, cut, print! #monsterdon

"...glow sticks ready?"
"Ready!"

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

So they're bringing cutlery to a ray gun fight? #Monsterdon

He's built his headquarters in a carnival fall ride, but added extra chompers? Or were those original?

chomp chomp chomp

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

What exactly is #monsterdon? EDIT: Thanks for the responses everyone!!

I like how delighted the Robot Master is to get a video call from his robots #monsterdon

@apLundell@octodon.social They spent their entire Resistance budget on those uniforms. What can you do.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Meanwhile, star-wipe over to the young would-be Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers at the 1st round of auditions

#monsterdon

#monsterdon was that the dude from Scrubs?

Would it have KILLED you to center this colony tower in the shot? #Monsterdon

I wonder who Jack's space tailor is. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

#Monsterdon Dori Doreau?

The acting in this scene was like "You say your line, then I'll say mine." #monsterdon

Wait, dr Cabal is up to something? #monsterdon

I'd follow Governor Nicki into any random mine entrance!

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

quick, contemplate this orb #monsterdon

@apLundell Jack Palance wouldn't let him any for some reason I think I dunno #Monsterdon

THAT'S BOWSER'S CASTLE YOU CLODS #Monsterdon

in the future, we have shields and spears but no google maps

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe maybe they will run into some Cybermen or something

#Monsterdon

"The citadel itself? It's like a fortress."

Presented without comment

#Monsterdon

LARPers of the corn. #Monsterdon

"Oh hello. Who's your shiny friend."
Wait is that old man hitting on the robot? Okay.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

the soundtrack decides to leave fuckin karate camp out to dry in complete grunting silence #monsterdon

"I think we're ready now. We've been saying 'hoop hoop' for four hours." #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Whoa their suits are RED with WHITE panels, clear villians

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Shoutout to the guy fighting with an oversized pizza pan. #Monsterdon

[OMINOUS DRUM SOUNDS] #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"What do you think Sparks"

It's an AI, it doesn't think, have we not proved this already with our terrible reality?

Don't give it validity.

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, at the SCA meetups #monsterdon

So it does feel like this movie has dragged a bit, but 30 minutes in and we're through the first act with the launch of the ship mentioned in the opening scene. By #Monsterdon standards that's pretty dang good film-making.

Meanwhile, on the cosplay planet.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

I'm begging you to stop making sparks the robot try to use those toggle buttons with its clumsy robot claws

#monsterdon

"In the future, we fight with rakes"

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

On Delta 3 their uniforms are made of Moon uniform leftovers. #Monsterdon

That's right, the entire audience is crying for medication right about now #monsterdon

better than a 737 Dreamliner

#monsterdon

So why isn't the doctor taking his anti-radiation medication? Did they explain that?

#monsterdon

Collect call ratio? What? #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

The tie-die planet!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

MEANWHILE, ON DELTA THREE #Monsterdon

Press pause on the Star Wars, we need to do a Star Trek real quick. #Monsterdon

Hey gramps, you don't get to wax poetic about traveling in space when you live on the moon and fly in spaceships all the time

#Monsterdon

Love how the starfield is visibly jittering #monsterdon

funky disco war-fare, real flute-tastic war-fare 🎵 #monsterdon

So we just grabbed a robot from the planet that declared war on us, and we made the robot the co-pilot? #monsterdon

Here's the mandatory Space Age speech for the movie

#Monsterdon

Getting Galaxy Quest theme music vibes

(Now that was a great movie)

#Monsterdon

@lysdexic Positronic hormones #monsterdon

Seminal Jack Palance role for me is from Tango & Cash tbh

#monsterdon

Hey, look, it's Ultra-Peepi!

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

lol absolutely nothing happened on any of those screens to indicate anything happened at all. #Monsterdon
