Socel considers participating in #Monsterdon an incessant posting rules violation even though I clearly announce my participation and use the #Monsterdon tag on every Monsterdon post I make so it's easily filtered out. That's a ridiculous stance to me so have moved to a server that's not a killer of joy and understands what filters are for.

Movies like Them! portray cops, scientists, the FBI and military all working together to protect civil society. It shows a system that works and is capable of meeting serious threats, so that Joe Public doesn't have to worry about them. The reality? Not so much these days.

FINALLY THE GODZILLA SONG!

i don’t remember hearing it at any moment in the movie.

this is not the best Godzilla movie but as a callback to 1954, they absolutely understood the assignment.

also, now i wanna see Pacific Rim again to see what else Del Toro stole from this movie.

thanks gang. today was awesome!

Tonight's feature, #TheRaven , from 1963, was another Roger Corman film. Ties to the Edgar Allen Poe piece were superficial at best, with Richard Matheson (the screenplay writer) choosing to take a comedic view to the project. The film was shot in only fifteen days, and contained a large amount of ad-libbed lines, mostly from Peter Lorre. Highlights included:

you could've just had Price keep reading Poe to us. that could've been the whole movie

Legacy
In synthesizers, a "patch" is kind of like a recipe for a sound or set of sounds. Synthesist Todd Barton coined a synth patch that many modular synthesists make at least once, named after the Krell in the film Forbidden Planet and trying to achieve the same vibe as those "electronic tonalities" by Louis and Bebe. There are many versions of the Krell Patch around. The patch consists of sources of random voltage and feedback loops

am crashing early tonight.

#selfCare #healthCare

agreed with everybody about this movie being so unsexy. it’s #techbro #incel #redpill levels of unsexy.

"Devil Girl From Mars" was way sexier than this Silicon Valley crap.

#BeeGirls #monsterdon

OMG BILL PAXTON OF TWISTER FAME WAS A CARPENTER IN THIS MOVIE!!!

am reading the Wikipedia page and it’s way more engaging than this awkward kissing scene.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

OOOH! OOOH!

there was a disclaimer at the end of the movie about the work at the pyramids.

i have the feeling they got money from the Mexican government to film educational movies about Nahuatl myths —hence the really high quality of the historical 'footage'. the clothing, jewelry, makeup are really close to what i have seen in actual 15th century Nahuatl codices.

so they probably shot those, completed the assignment, and with whatever was left they made this movie.

and then another Stay Puft appeared across town, and they went over there and killed that one, and afterwards Venkman had a conversation with Dana about the future of their relationship, and then Gozer escaped into the sewers or whatever

While renting Godzilla (1998) at the video store just now for #monsterdon I had the immense pleasure of overhearing a heartfelt and passionately delivered soliloquy about how one of the staff hates horses because they "look weird" and are "just deeply untrustworthy".

"That's strange, I always vaguely figured that you would like horses!"

"See, and that is just a deeply insulting statement right there. How dare you."

26, CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981)!

A generally-inspired-by-Greek-myth story which is kinda-sorta inspired by the tale of Perseus, plot-wise it's kind of a mess. But the special effects, whooooo boy, that's worth the price of admission. It's Ray Harryhausen's final work and he is firing on ALL CYLINDERS. Little metal owls, giant kraken, MULTIPLE monsters, all of them amazing. Seriously, go watch it. Ignore the plot, it's not worth the effort.
