⁉️ TRIVIA AND THE ARGOS ⛵🌊

RUINS

During filming of tonight's feature, a big scene with the Argo off the coast of Italy was ruined when a replica of the Golden Hind sailed into view. The film 'Sir Francis Drake' (1961) was coincidently filming at the same location. That production's scene was ruined as well.

Tensions were dispelled when producer Charles H. Schneer shouted, "Get that ship out of here! You're in the wrong century!"

#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

the costume department is like "hmm what did ancient guys wear, probably like diapers and pillowcases" #monsterdon

@hollie It's not just the beards. How 'bout them eyebrows?
#monsterdon

LOOK at 1:14:36 they show someone ELSE traveling by yeet-propelled boulder chariot. so YES throwing a boulder into space when it is tied to something is a canonical mode of transit in this universe

Didn’t post a whole lot but it was my first #Monsterdon and I had a good time

#Monsterdon🌌⏳🛸👨‍⚕️⁉️🤖🏯😱

hey that was a silly one never count down from 100 it gives everyone way too much time to stop you

Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, and @JoeWynne for trivia, and @cherizilla for bingo

and most of all, to all you great #Monsterdonians for the fun!

This was my first exposure to Dr Who, fwiw....

#monsterdon

Holy shit, Ian went full Stooge there at the end. #Monsterdon

And the movie fucks off into… a new canon for Doctor Who where The Doctor is named Dr. Who, I guess?

It was uneven, but it had its moments. Most of them were in the first 70% of the movie, the last act *really* drags its feet and doesn't stick the landing on much of anything.

But it *does* have Peter Cushing, so there's that

#Monsterdon

OH. NO. LOST COUNT. STARTING. OVER. 100 ....

#Monsterdon #DrWhoAndTheDaleks

i wondered how there could be 30 minutes left in the movie and it turns out the answer is "climbing this fucking mountain" #monsterdon

"We do not wish to fight."

You guys could at least 3D print some whistles or something. #Monsterdon

Hadn't marked "Reinforcements Arrive" on my bingo card but with that, I have #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I like that the scientist DALEKS are painted white.

#monsterdon Oh, he's playing portal.

He just needs to find a cube dispenser.

"Can you see any people?"

No, matte painting's not that detailed. #Monsterdon

Doctor Who used as a direct form of address? “This is TARDIS” with no article? I’m already experiencing near-fatal levels of pedantry! #Monsterdon

I've seen more than one person commenting on tonight's #Monsterdon presentation of Peter Cushing saying that they've never seen any Dr. Who.

Just wanted to point out that the two Cushing movies are like Doctor Who written by someone who's watched the TV show with the sound turned off. Everything looks kind of the same (except for the TARDIS interior which is dreadful) only in color, but everything else is very VERY different.

It's like "Okay okay. Old guy. Time Machine. Salt shaker bad guys. Got it. Script in the morning."

TONIGHT

IT'S #MONSTERDON

we will be watching:

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1966)

"Dr. Who accidently sends himself and his granddaughters to the mysterious planet Skaro where they do battle against the Daleks."

I'm not sure about the trailer because Google says THIS movie is the sequel to the 1965 one but the the title is different so I'm confused but its this one. we're doing this one. the one on tubi

@Taweret Wish we could join, but we're tied up at the moment.
#monsterdon #dalek

Oh wait, yes Linda, do that

#Monsterdon #4DMan

say what you will about this movie they funded an entire year of LA bongo guys twisted 1959 lifestyles #monsterdon

"i'm sorry. i guess it's just something i'm going through"

#monsterdon

Another four dimensions, and we'll be all ready for Buckaroo Banzai

#Monsterdon

Oh no, the BONGOS are starting.....

shit's about to get real

#Monsterdon #4DMan

Imagining my criminal life if I could walk through walls, first image I get is picturing myself tip-toeing out through the back of the art store at 2am, tubes of watercolor paint spilling out of my arms

#Monsterdon #4DMan

is the movie suggesting that his power to make pencils and steel blocks merge is the same power to make women fall in love with him by like merging their love atoms #monsterdon

This reminds of that movie with Christoper Reeve where he could go back in time by just thinking about it really hard

#Monsterdon #4DMan

My #MonsterdonBingo card has “Cone Bra” as one of the squares, and I really hope I get to mark that one in 4D Man.

#Monsterdon

oh god it's saturday already THIS WEEK ON #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Tomorrow, in fact! Sunday at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) come watch a goofy monster flick with the nerds of the Fediverse!

This week we're watching THE 4D MAN (1959) in which a man discovers what time is! No, I'm kidding, it's about a scientist who becomes able to phase through solid matter. Eh, Romulans do it every day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The flick's available on Tubi free with ads: https://tubitv.com/movies/100007584/4-d-man

well, the seahawks won, so that had a better ending than this nonsense

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 AITA? my (M/55) girlfriend (F/40) and devil doll (M/35) are unionizing

I guess the doll watches them. He probably got a woody.
#monsterdon

I can see open air between the doctor's forehead and his eyebrows!

#Monsterdon

I think my favorite part of this movie was @Taweret posting, "fuck you, gene"

#monsterdon
#PlanetEarth1974

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The wood-gas death stationwagon is the best part of the whole show.

Y'know, it used to be I wondered how shit like the second episode of TNG happened. Seeing this movie is at least an explanation of where shit like THAT came from. #Monsterdon

I am amusing myself by imagining that John Saxon's character is gay and dicking around because he doesn't know how to flirt with a woman. This movie is so bad it's making me invent another bad movie.
#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Yeah. This is way too boring for kids and way too stupid for adults. #monsterdon

Thank you, @Taweret , that was great! And surprisingly chilling and timely.

Thank you for the bingo card, @cherizilla !

And thank you for another delightful Sunday evening, #monsterdon . Good night, and good luck to us all.

Thanks for a great Monsterdon everyone, and to @Taweret for hosting!

Goo forth and multiply....or something

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

In my simple Bible way, I kind of enjoyed this movie. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I guess the moral here is don't have the hubris to self-fund your own space agency, name it after yourself, and then launch without regulatory approval.

That's a lesson we can all stand to learn.

if a hideous agglomeration of alien cactoid zoo creatures absorbs the royal family, does it become the rightful ruler of the british empire #monsterdon

Somebody’s seen Frankenstein, that’s for sure. #Monsterdon

@blogdiva all that CGI was _hard work_ in that era. some of it does not hold up but some honestly kinda does. the weird martians in particular.

of course, below the line vs. above the line and all that

#monsterdon #MarsAttacks #monsterMiru

So the symbolism here is that Jesus is an allegory for Mothra.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Sadly, after this film became popular, large number of fairies were captured in the wild and sold to parents whose children demanded fairies of their own.

#Monsterdon

btw am here only for the doctor, aka Akihiko Hirata… *growl*

What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?

The original Gojira films worked because they torque certain cultural/historical anxieties in post-war Japan. This one works similarly on the USAmerican imagination by wrecking a food court and showing cartoon characters in humanface.

#Monsterdon

i hate rhe rain. it’s water everywhere…

#Godzilla1998 #monsterdon

For anyone who doesn't remember the ending credit song, I just want to warn you that it was a hit single and it was *from this movie*.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

This scene is making me picture Godzilla trying to get the last of the Pringles out of the can

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

The military guy being named "O'Neil" is just them trying to do Stargate again, isn't it

#Monsterdon

Imagine thinking we needed a car chase scene right about now....after the previous seven hours...

#Monsterdon

Me: "Mom, can we have JURASSIC PARK?"

Mom: "We have JURASSIC PARK at home"

The JURASSIC PARK at home:

#Monsterdon

and Jean Reno doing an Elvis impression, while stupid in THIS movie, is so cute that I can't really not enjoy it

#Monsterdon

He really is just Kent Brockman in this.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

Godzilla seeing the pile of fish, with a French accent, mimicking Luc Besson, "You call zees feesh?" <uses tiny arms to take cigarette out of mouth>

#Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon

I'm sorry. A giant lizard, I can believe. This many helicopters in formation without _any_ mechanical faults? Get the fuck outta here. Just have the soldiers start casting spells at this point

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998 before 9/11 the benchmark for destruction in manhattan was the wtc parking garage bombing

which wasn't _that_ destructive but it scared folks

it's like referring to 3 mile island as a nuclear scare when we all know about chernobyl now

Gotta get a good shot of that cloaca.

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (that's 1 am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON! The weekly monster movie watch party in which we... Well, it's rather self-explanatory actually. Come watch a goofy monster movie with us!

This week it's GODZILLA (1998), the atrocious American version with an irradiated gecko or iguana or something. Frankly, I'd prefer the one with Raymond Burr.

@CactuarJoe Best (as film): Overall, gotta go with Forbidden Planet. Game-changer in so many ways, set trends that lasted decades. Honourable mention: The Hunger, better in many ways but damaged by studio insistence.

Worst: Invasion of the Star Creatures. This movie has everything: vicious misogyny that doesn't even know it's sexism, severe racism that doesn't know it's racism, failed GI comedy that can't even get the rote parts right, and holy _gods_ so dull. 0 out of infinity.

#monsterdon but you gotta admit, those are sensible mary janes heels Joan Collins is wearing to hell, so she’s got that going for her and eternity.

And the movie fucks off into blown-out Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor

That was pretty fun for a 1972 jam.

Well done everyone, looking forward to seeing the final #MonsterdonSavesChristmas total and the lucky giveaway winners. I pulled myself out of the giveaway pool since I won a painting last year, but I am pre-emptively jealous of whoever gets that sweet Godzilla d20!

See this is why you never cut arts and crafts, people find the wildest outlets for creativity otherwise. #Monsterdon

holy shit what is the message of this one?
Don't drive. Ever.

I can't watch #Monsterdon because it'll rev up my brain and I won't be able to sleep (time zone), but I try to tune in to see the commentary, which is always dripping with sarcasm and laced with comedic brilliance.

Bravo.
