and the rest of the movie is them uncovering the moon conspiracy of chemtrails #monsterdon

Clarinet is an unconventional choice for an instrument to evoke the majesty of space #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the blue smoke tholian web is pretty
#TheShapeOfThingsToCome1979

time to spray some hole-b-gone on the dome #monsterdon

space moths with gravitas??? #monsterdon

I'm enjoying the lava lamp footage

#Monsterdon

Mom, watching with us: "Live to dance another day!" #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Ooh, we've got chemtrails! Lomax mind control is a go!

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

is this OST playing Taps for the dome? #monsterdon

...Are they seriously playing Taps on the synthesizer right now? #Monsterdon

Wow, that crash explosion effect was REALLY GOOD for 1979. I mean obviously just some footage of an explosion composited in, but putting it *behind* the pedestrian overpass window like that really did a lot for it.

#Monsterdon

uh oh. did they blow up the dance club?
#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

what happened to the robot? how's he doing?

#monsterdon

@amyfou I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the color 🥴

#Monsterdon

interstellar species without surface to air defense systems #monsterdon

I love evacuating to the discotheque. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Panic into the disco #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@Zerofactorial Guess they're listening to the scientists?
#Monsterdon

Shoot it down already! #monsterdon

They really went "we have Mark Hamill at home" didn't they #monsterdon

PANIC! At the Evacuation Disco! #Monsterdon

god could anyone even read these terminal fonts at theater projection sizes #monsterdon

I don't know how yall are reading the text on these monitors without glasses #Monsterdon

Now the panic sets in

#monsterdon

@Kinetograph The shape of things to come is not what we expected #monsterdon

Wait is all of this action on the moon?

I'm confused by the atmosphere and, uh, ocean.

#monsterdon

evacuation corridor disco is the best disco

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

I really like that "70s future" looks a lot like "weirdos in an 80s movie"

In that way, they did predict the future

#Monsterdon

Do we have like a red team/blue team thing going on here on the bridge or what?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"This creation of yours... Starstreak. It hasn't even been tested."
The Master Computer is dead! I Starstreak now rule New Washington!
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

The A.I.'s previous experience https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Lomax #monsterdon

"C'moooon Lomax, c'mooooon"

Jeez he's whiny #Monsterdon

I'm starting to wonder if Lomax is involved with this.

#monsterdon

Oh the jumpsuits #monsterdon

*beeping dot intensifies*

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

#Monsterdon The white zone is for loading and unloading only.

OK so our leads are nepo babies #monsterdon

Honeywell product placement. #Monsterdon

Phew, there we go, a much better copy. I can breathe easy and give this wonderful(?) little movie the attention it has earned

#Monsterdon

@jonny okay i think the main character is this sexy computer AI sphere #monsterdon

"Go ahead Jason."

I guess. Here I am, brain the size of the planet and they ask me for identity confirmation. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't. #Monsterdon

New Washington has it's own Epcon center? And the cheapest looking robot...
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

The civilian population is well schooled in panic fleeing. Good #monsterdon

@socketwench
Unintentional humorous vibe, I was half expecting a pratfall #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow That would be the ship name for Starscream and Bluestreak. #monsterdon

@lytta Paying attention rarely changes that

(there's a spaceship about to crash into a moon base, dunno about the rest)

#Monsterdon

#TheShapeOfThingsToCome

[SFX team meeting]
Is the design for the spaceship ready?
Yes, sir!
Is it unique?
Absolutely, sir!

#Monsterdon

there was a weird, brief time when I was in high school and the fashion industry was trying to make miniskirts over jeans a thing #monsterdon

@lytta nah not a clue. its very important though #monsterdon

Waited 6 minutes before going to red alert. There will be an investigation and heads will roll. #Monsterdon

I like how everyone is just kinda milling around in central control.

#Monsterdon

Ahhhh, good ol' Honeywell terminals.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

#monsterdon Rare but serious side affects of (F)lomax include yellow alert,

I once again have no idea what's happening because I didn't pay enough attention at the beginning 👍 #monsterdon

This is like Israel during the Iranian missile attack

#monsterdon

ah, evacuation scenes, my beloved! #monsterdon

Honeywell. VT100s OF THE FUTURE!!!!!!111!!

#monsterdon

I'll be fine in the future, I guess. I have great influence with most computers. #Monsterdon

The colored patches on the front of that guy's' jumpsuit look like lungs #monsterdon

this is not a drill. this is a drill [BRBRRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBBRBRRBRBRR]

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Apparently the military forgot how to use articles in the future

Or maybe now

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva
I assumed it was a leftover costume from a gradeschool play about the human body.

#monsterdon

What I want to know how a council and some military guy have "influence" over a Master Computer? Threaten the electricity? Unplug some hard drives?
#Monsterdon

Who's the 5th grader on the tuba?

#monsterdon

Jake don't start up with your "communication problem" BS again. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

what do you call that kind of flap skirt #monsterdon

lomax confirms? lomax confirms #monsterdon

why do we have the comedy tuba going off during this emergency?

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Wow, the voice of that master computer ... is Lomax seeing anyone currently? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Do you think the lady with the red-trimmed uniform auditioned for Wilma in Buck Rogers? She has that vibe.

Get yourself a space jumpsuit that really highlights your lungs

#Monsterdon

Flashing lights and beeping sounds. It's science fiction! #Monsterdon

Almost the entire surviving population of Earth is now on the moon, they said. The moon is like 7% the surface area of Earth. Since we see a lot of unused territory, probably not many people survived.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

#monsterdon Star Streak is like a Skid Mark, in space.

oooh- it wasn't just the drugs, shampoo was also better in the 70's

Flowmax, we have an emergency!

Ha, the Master Computer sounds like Marvin. "Yeah, the ship's gonna crash. Sounds horrible, I hope it happens." #Monsterdon

They thought they gave the robot manipulators too clumsy to press the cancel button but they underestimated him #monsterdon

12 minutes? No rush. #Monsterdon

Those uniforms! Bicep pockets! pockets everywhere! Love it!

#monsterdon

Cobalt Override, lesser known prequel to Maximum Overdrive.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

That's a cool computer case. I want one.

#monsterdon

Oh gosh, this robots are lovely!
#Monsterdon

@Taweret the women get to wear pants under their skirts and I appreciate that #monsterdon

The future is now even today I feel responsible to the Master Computer #Monsterdon

*sighing at the retrofuturist robot* not voiced by matt berry tho
#monsterdon

I want that arm pocket for my phone!
#Monsterdon

COBALT OVERRIDE is CRASH OVERRIDE's great grandparent #monsterdon

...Actually, this set looks a lot like the one they killed Adric on >_> <_< #Monsterdon

Cobalt Override is a *primo* band name #Monsterdon

Why did they give the robot grabber claws if it needs to push buttons

#Monsterdon

if these ladies would be kind enough to converse about this landing, we could have a Bechdel Pass right now! #monsterdon

That supervisor just invading people's space and saying nothing....

#monsterdon

people in the 20th century were extremely certain that in the future everyone would wear matching jumpsuits

#monsterdon

We don't know if it'll fly? I guess Boeing is still around. #Monsterdon

Something tells me the Dalek in command isn't gonna like that. #Monsterdon

Cobalt Override. New from Atari! #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

So I assume the Moon Council also answers to the Master Computer?
#monsterdon

Oh. No.

This is a horrible reimagining of a Cylon.

#monsterdon

he's a super star freak

a super star freak

he's super freaky

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@srol although original BSG was pretty good IMO

#Monsterdon

Wait, is this office at the moon colony (since Earth is depopulated) ... with CLOUDS IN THE SKY and OPEN WATER?

#Monsterdon
