#monsterdon Boom HERB HERITAGE

That's it?

But ... without only one last shipment of the anti-rad drugs everyone is going to die, right?

Even those kids they told to not move from that field two weeks ago? #monsterdon

fucking off into the sea (of stars) #monsterdon

in the credits their names are "Nikki's Army" #monsterdon

bill yak-- luzt brodie-- wally gentleman. what is with the names in this cast. #monsterdon

Impressive that all these battle scenes are pulled off without any guns or gun-like items. It's all sticks and low-energy wrestling. #monsterdon

When I see the earth heaving I feel a pang when I realize it's not Godzilla about to burst through #monsterdon

@JoeWynne "Space, the final frontier" this is not

#Monsterdon

and g'night, monsterdonians! sleep well!
#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

Again, Star Trek would been ten years old at this point. Everyone sees what you're doing. #Monsterdon

more like the shape of things too dumb amirite #monsterdon

I had a Synsonic drum that could sound like those little pew-pew drum sounds when I was a kid. I wish I still had it. They're pretty hard to come by now. #Monsterdon

They just threw a chunk of set on Jack Palance's face...
TWO CHUNKS!?
I hope he got hazard pay from this cheap production.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

@paco Like whatever happened to the moon base?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

barry, barry, barry... again... you left Space: 1999... for this.

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

OK well I'm sure the kids will do OK #monsterdon

What was Delta 3 anyway? A moon? A planet? I missed that part

#Monsterdon

This closing music is a jam but I have no idea what happened in that movie #monsterdon

@Taweret i mean, that's the end of MOST of the monsterdon movies. "what?"

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

@Taweret You may have to be more specific

#Monsterdon

Unrelated final narration

#Monsterdon

but you didn't resolve a bunch of stuff

#monsterdon

the helmet of power looks like a detachable piece of a cuisinart that never gets fully clean in the dishwasher #monsterdon

That's... it? The bad guy blew himself up? And the heroes fly home because they can? And life on earth is fucked because no more radiation medicine, but we have the happy music as the credits roll? #monsterdon

Whoa the title sequence explosion makes a comeback

#Monsterdon

what?

#monsterdon

Almost ended with the Star Trek theme there for a second.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"Some people think life down here started out there" #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"space, the final frontier..." #monsterdon

Kim: "C'mon Niki, they're dead."
Niki: "No"
Unfortunately they're talking about what appear to be the corpses of men #monsterdon

Heh, you can see the edges of the lamp they're lighting the ships with :D #Monsterdon

out there... somewhere... beyond the stars... with Ultra Peepi

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Planet blows up. Nikki: shocked and upset. Female lead: terribly upset. Male lead: "My name... is a killing word."

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

The citadel would've fucked off into the sea, if there'd been a sea to fuck off into. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

....And they get caught in the blast wave of an exploding planet and die. The end! #Monsterdon

That styrofoam beam was _definitely_ not supposed to bonk Jack on the head like that. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"Okay, look calm and serene while your citadel crumbles around you"

"You try that when there are literal rocks falling your your head, asshole"

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

See, this is why buttplugs are flared at one end. #Monsterdon

Oh good explosion! Well done! You guys really did blow the money up, huh :D #Monsterdon

more like The Camera Shake of Things to Come #monsterdon

Make Ullon 200 lbs heavier and bold and that's totally Kingpin Technoptimist, but in space. #Monsterdon

OH DANG JACK PALANCE TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@ricci The models look real sharp! #monsterdon

@ricci yeah they really did save all the money for this sequence

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

This is some nice model set destruction. Not Toho good, but good for anywhere else in the 70s.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

@lytta that was it lmao we have a #BechdelPass #monsterdon

Don't destroy the stream tunnels! Leave them for future generations to film in! #conservation

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

How did I not notice that Jason is wearing Ugghs until just now?

#monsterdon

one lone robot stays behind at the transporter controls. Ohura would have been proud. #monsterdon

@neia well yeah, but techbros always take credit for everything no matter how little they did

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"I AM YOUR CREATOR" didn't work for God or Frankenstein either. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Hey, that eruption's actually not half bad :D #Monsterdon

"Don't do this to me. I AM YOUR CREATOR!"
Yes yes! Eat all that scenery! Shove the whole set in your mouth!
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I AM YOUR CREATOOOOOOOOR!

Emote a little harder there, Jack, I think you still have some unchewed scenery there.

#Monsterdon

There's that one hallway again

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Executive Producer: And to show you just how enthusiastic we are that you're scoring the film, we've named the lovable robot sidekick after your band!
Ron and Russell Mael: Uh, yeah, about that....
#monsterdon

"I am your creatoooooor!"

Thought you just reprogrammed them though?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"I AM YOUR CREATOR!"

Good job, Jack, that one always convinces them. #Monsterdon

"merrick and the others are dead" guess we'll have plenty of room on the space ship then. #monsterdon

Oh hey now there's only a few people left so they can all fit in the cool space ship model.
Are they taking Jack with them? Be kind to the villain? Offer him a chance? No.,.. Okay.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

LOL the fidgeting with the button and dramatic turn. Very good.

The actors playing our young protagonists are certainly throwing themselves into the role. Kim is I think the better performance.

#Monsterdon

too bad they didn't paint the tardis console citadel model all the way down

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

okay that's not the worst collapsing field shot I've ever seen

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

You can't do that, Omus - we took your cape! #monsterdon

Look, you're a metal robot. You don't need a rock to hurt a human in combat #monsterdon

ha! i have stolen the blender hat for myself! #monsterdon

Haha! Now I have the stupid hat! #monsterdon

CAROUSEL

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

We are nine minutes from the credits, tell me you have an exit strategy. #Monsterdon

wait no! I’ve seen this Star Trek Voyager episode, you’ll turn into lizards #monsterdon

He put on the dumb plastic tube helmet again? Is this gonna be rule of threes?
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

NEAR MISS on a bechdel pass there, one line of dialogue between two named women but they were talking about a man #monsterdon

@ricci you can put your mind at ease!

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Aw, the two women are talking past one another. So frustrating #monsterdon

so the red patches on the uniforms are because everybody's going to evolve into a crab now? he said he was gonna accelerate evolution, right? #monsterdon

@moira in canada

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

10 minutes to go. I expect a conclusion, but a thoroughly unsatisfying one.

#Monsterdon

will they be saved by the robot's horniness for kim #monsterdon

I mean, uh, assassination machine go brrr #monsterdon

"not as big a fool as your father!" *puts cookie jar on head* #monsterdon

#KillerDisco #Monsterdon

@moira are you sure though

#Monsterdon

Don't call me murderer.

Call me a Death... Stylist.

Thank you, and good night!

#monsterdon

@neia not big enough, we can still see things

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

So...euthanasia? That's good, right? #monsterdon

Yep, all your subordinates are dead, Nikki! Between this and losing control of your whole planet, I gotta say you look like one super shitty leader, ma'am! #Monsterdon

There is a lot to be said about smashing the bad guys control desk when you can.

#monsterdon

careful, men! they'll make you run into walls repeatedly and then beat you with foam! #monsterdon

good use of a big red button tho. #monsterdon

OK, so why do the evil killer robots need to pick up rocks to kill the rebel humans?
#monsterdon

How big was their dry ice budget on this film?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Nikki and Kim in the elevator.

Me: NOW HAVE A CONVERSATION!!!

#Monsterdon

That jumpsuit is doing some favors for that guy's ass at least #Monsterdon

Certainly took the robots long enough to learn how to pick up rocks

#Monsterdon

his cargo ships aren't the only thing here that's fully loaded yes yes

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@blogdiva
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
#Monsterdon

weeooo weeooo weeooo #monsterdon

@blogdiva fuckin' 70s

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

a _cosmic_ accident

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Starting to think Omus is an Anus #monsterdon
