am passing on #Monsterdon tonight. y’all have fun for me 👍🏽

This is important so...less encryption!

#monsterdon

Does anyone know what the fuck is going on plot wise? this thing kinda just stumbles around

#monsterdon

they lost tens of dollars in broken rocket models in the scene, tens!

#monsterdon

Remember everyone, the floor is in fact lava

#monsterdon

TRANSPORT.....LAYER.....SECURITY....IN......SPAAACCEEEEE

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Monsterdoners And here we are at the end of another #Monsterdon. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting. Until next week: Prepare to fix, helium heads!

I guess that's what happens when you don't bother with writing, and go all in on costumes, sound design, and sets. #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

@cks it is Sunday night and time for #Monsterdon not packet crimes

Wait, this was just a Spaghetti Western in space? With actual spaghetti. In space. #Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight we had:

* Space Problems and Space Butts and Space Hatchets
* A shortage of retros!
* Helium Head!
* A planet with breathing valves and arteries!
* A big kaboom!

#WarBetweenThePlanets

@kcarp no. Nobody knows.

Except *maybe* the narrator

#monsterdon

A school of asteroids... are they fish? #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

Are the red helmets significant? Given what we know about shirts, I’d insist on a white helmet. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We know there are futuristic computers here because of the beep boops. All good computers make beep boops.

#Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

even in the future of the past the climate is fucked. #monsterdon

@athena_rising This was an italian film. There couldn't be "coffee" in it. This machine, though, has a bunch of settings: ristretto, macchiato, piccolo, latte. It definitely does NOT have "coffee". 😜​ #monsterdon

#monsterdon alternate closing credits music, given the amount of ass, wind and eventually solid material in this one

@CactuarJoe Also apparently this was the third film in the Gamma One quadrilogy?? I'd say watching the first two would give us more context, but I doubt it #monsterdon

I... wha... huh

OK but seriously that was amazingly terrible and terribly amazing. One of my favorite #Monsterdon events yet. Thanks for hosting as always @Taweret!

Now to go heat up some pasta for dinner

I say again - no idea what the hell was happening in that movie, but damn it was fun. Now I’m gonna bleep bleep bloop out of here. See y’all next week! #Monsterdon

Well, that's it. @Taweret I blame you for this. #monsterdon

Wait, they did the whole thing with the helmet switch to fake out the wife and they blew past that in, like, two seconds?

That's not how that works. You're supposed to have a period where she's in morning, and then is surprised by her husband's return.

I wonder if they filmed that, but edited out because it slowed down the ending.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon There was a severe lack of coffee in this movie for all the drama it contained. How are the lead characters supposed to manage the drama without the necessary caffiene?

@OldRustBucket It was kind of an intraplanetary war considering how much of the war happened inside the planet

#Monsterdon

i choose to believe that was a staircase to the sea that they were fucking off into #monsterdon

@yatsu Probably an implied world government / space-UN. But... that would require writing #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

#monsterdon "Ricky, your father died and we will never know why. Don't ever forget that."

@kcarp Sssshhhhhhhhh. Hush, child. Shhhhhh. #monsterdon

@kcarp not a single clue #monsterdon

Why do I keep hearing flies? #Monsterdon

Spaghetti space westerns taken to a literal extreme here.

Ah! The Marinara! It buuurns...

#Monsterdon

He started by saying this mission was a suicide mission, now he says this is no suicide mission. Did the writers read the shit they were writing? #monsterdon

hack the planet! #monsterdon

I wish I had "Space Axe" on my bingo card

#monsterdon
#WarBetweenThePlanets

Why couldn't they just yeet the antimatter at the asteroid from a safe distance? Do they get extra points for precision? #monsterdon

"When Rod got deeper, the pulsating became more pronounced." #monsterdon

i like bad movies like this because it doesn't matter if i was paying attention because it didn't make sense anyway #Monsterdon

are they... going to give this planet a heart attack? #monsterdon

oh it is a fart planet #monsterdon

YES! This one definitely counts as a quicksand death. #monsterdon

GLUTEN! :blobfoxscared: #Monsterdon

It's lava, but I'm counting this as a quicksand death. #monsterdon

"Cold gluten or jelly" sounds like #goo to me. #monsterdon

there is WAY TOO MUCH sucking in this movie

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

gravity induced space winds

gravity compensating chain reactions

physics in the future is wild man!

#Monsterdon

Now you're making shit up, narrator. #monsterdon

Is the solution to a planet sucking things into going to be giving it so much it over eats and blows up?
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

"...why can't we blast it back into space!"
"because it's already in space?"
"Steve, I swear ..."

#Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

At least we're getting some action now, all it took is a whole new planet showing up

An evil planet (or so it looks)

#Monsterdon

what's new helium head. i am absolutely using that one. (^_^)(^_^)(^_^) #monsterdon

#monsterdon he didn't pull out, "God help us"

the way that the background sounds morph together from the whirs of the jets and the soft synth pulses in this scene to the clik clicks and all the rest i think precedes 2010s-ish Trent Reznor style continuous soundtracks by like 40 years #monsterdon

Little-known fact: this movie was the inspiration for Lars Von Trier's MELANCHOLIA.
#Monsterdon

"OOOOOOOOOOO!~~" -80s studio audience that somehow snuck in
#Monsterdon #WarBetweenthePlanets

Tired: Plot
Wired: Models!!
#Monsterdon

It shivers with antici

#monsterdon #warbetweentheplanets

it shivers in spots, when i touch it like _this_

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"Ride my tail"?

#WarBetweenThePlanets
#Monsterdon

It's like they filmed for three weeks then dumped the lot on an editor and said "Try to make this tell a story" #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"Look at that burst of gas!"

Oh, sorry, that was me.

#monsterdon

the interior of the spaceships remind me of WWII era flying fortresses #monsterdon

ok maybe the fact that i am at precisely 0 on the plot because i am not listening to what anyone is saying because the background sounds are so wonderful means that they are quite intrusive, but i am vibing #monsterdon

#Monsterdon is now trending across Mastodon

#OddGoldenGlobeCategoriesAndItsWinners is now trending across Mastodon

@blogdiva
What?? No!! We'll miss you!

#Monsterdon

"Close aerator!"

Open frothing nozzle! Prepare the cream! #Monsterdon

@blogdiva oh you're missing a good one!

#Monsterdon

"Are you czech?"
"I'm czech all right."

What.

#monsterdon #warbetweentheplanets

setting my speed to automatic, jfc, you do _one_ set of doughnuts on the moon big enough to be seen from earth and it's like

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

Wow, three ACTUALLY different space ships, they didn't just do a processed shot and duplicate one of them. #Monsterdon

It's nice that the space station has a patio, I guess. #Monsterdon

All the teletypes suddenly stopped. The SFX tape must have run out

#monsterdon
#WarBetweenThePlanets

Ships apparently can't take too much speed. Very 'space is an ocean' #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

This movie just keeps ticking.

#monsterdon

"Keep up your efforts I'm coming" Yikes. #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets #OutOfContext

@paco We all know there are no genders in the future

(in bad space movies, anyway)

#Monsterdon

"how long will we be able to hold out up here" my VLC timer says at least another 45 minutes. #monsterdon

"I'm sure glad they resumed the newscasts" he says

While the guy on the news talks about the literal end of the world.

#monsterdon

listen, Lieutenant, they're trying to work out unresolved sexual tension, give em a break. #monsterdon

Somehow every cut in this movie feels like it's coming back from commercial into the middle of a new scene

#Monsterdon

@LK_877 @CactuarJoe Just like my ass! #monsterdon #warbetweentheplanets

@CactuarJoe #Monsterdon
In case of emergency it can double as a flotation device.

I've been trying to reach you for days. ABOUT YOUR CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. #monsterdon #warbetweentheplanets

#Monsterdon Paper Tape! Teletypewriter 33

Manifesting an asteroid... #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"...sometimes a commander tightens up to hide his edginess."
"They make creams for that ........ Commander."

#Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

You CANNOT transition to romantic string swell after the bitchiest rant of all time #monsterdon

they even hate the 80’s from 1966 #monsterdon

Never transmit in the clear! #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"The code key is coming through."

Bechdel test passed! #monsterdon

the future still has ACT-UP but they seem to have lost the SILENCE=DEATH for the sleeve patch

#monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

"Stand by for weight gain."

"Standing by."

"Sending shipment of 50,000 Milky Ways."

#Monsterdon

"stand by for weight gain." oh, this is a christmas movie? #monsterdon

Ooh, spinning wheel space station! #Monsterdon #WarBetweenThePlanets

i think what the future really needs is ambient noise like in this #monsterdon #woowoowoowoo

they bring back beehive hairdos in the future so that people can keep snacks in there for later #Monsterdon

Oh they got one o' those inflatable space stations. Nice. #Monsterdon

@yatsu space problem with his combover amirite
