#monsterdon "Percentages do not favour their success, disaster through malfunction is likely."
_stares directly at maintenance ticket backlog and $JOB Management_
#monsterdon So, this BLT, thatβs the Kweisatz Haddenoughofyershit. LOL. Boop. Boop. This could get out of hand. Teleporting robot.
If ya man were doing radiation exposure properly they'd be a lot more vomit
Love the outfit of the technicians, it's a nice cross between aluminum foil and plastic film.
#monsterdon
#monsterdon I suppose our moon base dome is just chemtrailsβ¦? LOL. That wonβt go well with the conspiracy nuts!
Ulmus.
Kabbalah.
these names are awesome.
Nobody explain why they need the wonder drug, nobody
@apLundell@octodon.social Happy 4/20!
#monsterdon
So the dome is made of some kind of contrail?
Nobody emails in this future, just goes to your desk and talks into your face
Kim and her Farrah Fawcett hairdo s a nepobaby #Monsterdon
Ahhh, the big orb in the centre of the room is the AI
nobody keeps their mobile there mate
wasn't Flomax an asthma medicine... omg, how many things did movie this foretold?!?! #Monsterdon
lol, Elon Musk there with the untested space device....
"My responsibility is to the MASTER COMPUTER!"
#monsterdon EPCOT center spotted!
isn't this the music of the original Battlestar Galactica show?!?!
While loading tonight's #monsterdon on Tubi I noticed there was an mst3k of it as well (or possibly the 1936 version, but I think this one is more likely). Need to check that out later in the week
#Monsterdon space disco. Okay. Thatβs that.
I don't fancy Humanity's chances while the Sparky issue is ignored.
Sure, the entity is friendly now, but with the ability to teleport and control all robots it could dominate Humanity and it's the Robot Wars all over again.
Senator Smedley of the Moon Council wasn't even IN the back half of this film. #Monsterdon
@ryan Just straight up threw the only part of the set he didn't chew to pieces right at his head. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome
So, all the mute white-haired children - are they good now? #monsterdon
That movie wasn't good. But lately we have seen what really bad movies can be.
Jack Palance kinda saves this movie from being utterly boring. He always makes a great villain.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome
Ok, OKAY, I was 100% sure of one thing in this movie
That they set up the pointless "we found some orphans -> we can't save them -> we'll come back later" scene so they could end the movie with one triumphant shot of the ship landing on Earth again and all the kids cheering
And yet,
This should have been the closing credits song:
#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome #DavidBowie #ShapesOfThings
ouch #monsterdon
I don't think people understand how much energy is needed to destroy an earth like planet.
And weren't there other people on there?
And the wonder drug......
Jason you fucked up
#monsterdon Omus is looking exactly like me the last time I tangled with systemd unit files. "Why are you doing this to me?? I am your creator!!" Big oof buddy
#Monsterdon TAKE THE STAIRS!!!
#Monsterdon PARKOUR!
I'm really getting down watching this movie. I really don't have any hope for our heroes. The situation looks impossible to overcome. #Monsterdon
Don't think killing the Professor with Disco really disproves his Humanism though....
Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but gotta say that Kim has a distinct Celine Dion thing going on. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Iβve reached the interpretive dance section with the classical dramatic music. And space farts. Hot blue space plasma farts.
Oh man, the scene chewing here is extreme
"People are no longer necessary"
OK Mr Tech Bros
#Monsterdon I love the idea of an executive office chair with seatbelts. LOL.
lol @ the robot pointing very aggressively at the humans
Derrick better make it home safe. we need our Space Afrocaribs to flourish! #Monsterdon
@blogdiva Overthrow the evil overlord who coup'd the planet and cut off their drug supply. I think.
To be fair to this film, drone assaults are everyday now in our future year of 2024
Space orgasms via time dilation....not so much
#Monsterdon at least it mocks physics in an acceptable way.
@blogdiva beautiful, isn't it? A single tear on my check #monsterdon
lol, the Professor is not having space orgasms, he's having night terrors
"What the hell was that all about?"
You said it Jason
lol, space orgasms now?
Is it zero-g or interpretive dance?
I just feel sorry for the dudes in the robot suits
#Monsterdon I see, the cast from Village of the Damned. Also, anyone catch that out of control Kettle drum player?
Have you tried turning your friend off and on again
lol @ Jason heroically abandoning those children on Earth
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
Just wait here until the end of the film McGuffin kids
those poor kids are part of the cult Julian Assange was raised in... so they must be Australian? #Monsterdon
"I found a dead body in the station"
Bragging about it somehow Jason
The children are right to fear robots
THEY ARE CHILDREN! with really bad weaves. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon This is how far in the future, and this jeep still audibly runs on an internal combustion engine? BLEAK. Bleaker than civilization-ending robot wars.
(This ghillie-suited raccoons lurking in the corner of every scene are _killing_ me. Please never tell us who or what they are.)
@ricci they're looking for L'Oreal Nepobaby #Monsterdon
Lol, radiation sickness is more than headaches, we want to see fluids
Nobody is that fussed Sparky can manipulate spacetime like a god.
Instead of using his powers though, Sparky sits in the back seat of a jeep while Jason drives like a boy trying to show off
those things are going to be Charlie's children, aren't they?
And his brides.....
Looks like a nice place to take some senior pictures. #Monsterdon
"mind how you go" - not a US euphamism
#monsterdon all sci-fi and horror movies involve very off humidity controls. Alien, The Fog, this movie. So much fog.
I just saying Gaius Baltar had reasons for betraying Humanity, I don't get why Jack Palance is doing this?
You're not selling it to me Jack
I hope the Butlerian Jihad involves humans pushing those orbs over and just evading the robot's stupid arms
also am almost positive Dr. Kabbalh was a general in on of the Star Wars movies #Monsterdon
#monsterdon omg is this a LARP or are these Star Trek red-suits in training
Lol @ Space 1999 Man doing his "Captain Picard looks out into the cosmos" thing
Every time that drumkit comes back in
I like the Health and Safety AI's voice more than Lomax
The bored indifference sounds about right
Kim sees the impossible happen and just chuckles like a dog did a trick
lol, the fuck can it teleport!
#monsterdon Look at that little spaceship model! I love a good practical miniature effect.
uurgghhh, stupid 70s robot.
Don't switch it on, unless it's a milk android or Star Wars it'll be shit
Kim's future uniform doesn't have pockets, the Patriarchy continues
that wasn't Space Humpty Dumpty's arm π #Monsterdon
I don't trust Lomax
"The Earth planet." #Monsterdon
Oh we have a Dr. Kabbal... so that mean they must be Jewish. Space Jews on Passover. #monsterdon
those ships look like manta rays? NO! look at the cabins... they look like #Canada gooses migrating their cobra chicken asses in outer space! #Monsterdon
If they can fake a moon landing, they can fake a moon crash! Wake up, sheeple! #Monsterdon
That paternalistic 'master computer' tone is making me feel Butlerian Jihadi....
This future city is going to be the same three corridors and geodesic dome, isn't it?
#Monsterdon robot is half roomba half portable air conditioner, half dildo. LOL. Lots of halfs.
Big long space dick, slowly crawl over the space dick.....
the fire by lava lamp effect is giving me flashbacks of when my cousin painted his whole room black. fucking weirdo. #Monsterdon
@bunnyhero actually The Day The Earth Stood Still would be a great #monsterdon candidate, it's so earnest that it instantly ends up being hilarious
here's a short clip from AT THE EARTH'S CORE where you can hear the mind-control sound, which is what sparks's teleportation sound reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCn2BLX66LE #Monsterdon
earth seemed fine tho
Good thing they found Omus' Ship Full Of Drugs.
That'll keep civilization going. At least until the drugs run out.
That was a hot mess. But the costumes were interesting. #monsterdon
@combatwombat The best part is how high the second beam bounces back up
and the other best part is his expression immediately afterwards
this is absolutely the best scene in the film
@blogdiva I assume to cure the Children of the Dammed and then go out into Space....blowing up more planets along the way.
Humanity is a curse!
OK so bad guy who also had a drug monopoly tried an insurrection on Moon Washington then...
some stuff happened ... somewhere in the bush outside Winnipeg where dorky robots with dinky arms wrecked everything a few years ago...
and...there were sick kids...and the went to some quarry near Sudbury or something...and the bad guy blowed himself up and we brought the last bit if Important Medicine with us for the kids
THE END
That sure was a #Monsterdon of some kind...thanks again @Taweret entertaining if kinda pointless LOL
The moral of the story is when it's crunch time you need to keep the robots on your team #monsterdon
I like how the teleportation was not used in a plot relevant way even once #monsterdon
So!
With Delta 3 and its Radix factories destroyed, our heroes return home with a limited supply of the lifesaving drug. The Moon Colony quickly falls to infighting over the quickly dwindling medication, eventually leading to civil war. With no one who knows how to synthesize the drug and not enough social stability to figure it out, civilization collapses and humanity dies out.
Cue the triumphant tuba music! #Monsterdon
