I'm gonna make a bold statement: This wasn't *that much* worse than a lot of the Millennium-era kaiju movies.

Though apparently the song I was thinking of was the *second* end-credits song.

But at least it's finally over! After a solid hour of refusing to just end already! Goodnight #monsterdon, see y'all next week, and thank @Taweret for organizing this for us!

I'm really glad Jean Reno lives

Audrey: Who was that French guy, anyway?

Nick: I think his name is Luc...B-something, wait, no, that's not right...

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

I have some new folks following me this week, so an extended explanation of #Monsterdon :

When this post is about two hours old, at 7 MST (UTC -7), a bunch of folks, organized by @Taweret , will be watching a movie together and posting about it live.

You are welcome to join us! It's a good week to do it because this week, Monsterdon is saving Christmas! Check out the #monsterdonsaveschristmas hashtag for details on the fundraiser! And #monsterdonalerts for details on this, and all the future, movies.

This week, we're watching Tales From The Crypt (1972), which is streaming free on Tubi and maybe some other places. Just start the movie on time, watch the hashtag, and post along with us! You can just do it: it's free and no one can stop you!

If you don't want to see a bunch of snarky posts about a bad movie, you can mute the hashtag. In the Mastodon web UI, you do this by clicking on the hashtag, selecting the option to mute it, and making a new filter to hide all posts with the hashtag. You'll make the Baby Godzilla cry but it's okay, Godzilla is tough and all. Not even the entire Japanese army, air force, and navy working together can get Godzilla down, not really.

It's #MonsterdonSavesChristmas time! https://timeloop.cafe/@Taweret/115736026988063472

If you want to support a charity but can't afford to donate, or aren't able to/don't want to for any other reason, I got you covered! Just let me know which charity you want to support, I'll make a donation in your name (or anonymously if you prefer), and YOU get the #MonsterdonSavesChristmas karma. And also the giveaway entry. (Which you could also get without donating but whatever.) Praise Godzilla!

Conditions:
- Each donation will be US $50 (at most... I guess you can ask for less if you want 🤷)
- One donation per person
- Requests must be received before the #Monsterdon movie *starts*
- The receiving charity must be a registered nonprofit (that means 501(c)(3) organizations in the US, or some equivalent elsewhere)
- No political organizations
- No groups that support hate
- I reserve the right to veto any charity if something unanticipated comes up. If this happens I'll let you know and we can choose an alternate.

Day 3 stats for #MonsterdonSavesChristmas ! Let's go!

Today we raised $708.67! I love that this number has gotten larger every day! This is shaping up to be the best Monosterdon Saves Christmas ever! That's also almost $200 more than yesterday!

We also added a number of new causes! Including, the American Indian College Fund, Software Freedom Conservancy, Nashville Launch Pad, NPR, and True Light Ministry Food Bank!

As well, @paco and @steggy have offered to match all donations to Trans Lifeline, Rainbow Railroad, and the Trevor Project! Which is absolutely phenomenal!

We're half way through the week all, let's keep things lookin' up! :)

Also thanks to @combatwombat for the graphic generator, and for his work tweaking it as we go. Now we can literally see the change. ;)

The current total donations are $1461.31!

#Monsterdon

can we watch a spinoff about the newly immortal guinea pig and its adventures?

Yes

English speakers had two different competing ways of mispronouncing the Spanish

You can hear both used in old radio shows like Dragnet

Eventually a mayor had a commission decide to pick one. They picked the one the mayor didn't use

🚨 #Monsterdon Bingo FYI 🚨

Starting next week, I have a schedule conflict and won't be able to do Monsterdon for a while. But no worries, I'll schedule bingo cards to go out on Sundays.

Because technology is fickle, If you don't see the Bingo post go out by 20 minutes to showtime, someone please grab a card from the archive and share it.

Weekly cards will be tagged #MonsterdonBingo. Thanks! :godzilla_cool:

HEY

so last Xmas @douglasfur did a little fundraiser during our monsterdon viewing of Snow Beast

I would really like to do a even bigger version this xmas (not necessarily with Snow Beast)

the idea: we raffle a few select items off, people donate to a charity (we can make a list of charities) they send us a screenshot showing they donated and they're entered into the raffle

we would need some things to raffle off and someone to be the person who the screenshots get sent to and who keeps us posted with running totals of donations

also if there are any lawyers on here please let us know about any potential legal issues here. we would not be taking any money from anyone, just directing them to charity sites and asking for screenshots to show they donated

Glenn Strange, the successor to Boris Karloff, poses with Ann Blyth on the Universal Studios lot in 1948.

"Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid" was filming right next door to "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" [sic - Dr. Frankenstein doesn't appear in the movie, only his monster]

Apparently Denmark made one Kaiju movie in 1961. A flying snake thing attacks Copenhagen. The trailer writer seems a tad confused about the species.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

thinking about it, if you were 300 years old what skills would be the pretty much the same those 300 years, but playing instruments?

These days, you'd have some 100 year old vampire programmer, skilled in a code almost dead but somehow runs our nuclear reactors.

I'm not saying I'm pro-vampire, I'm just coming around to some ideas, that's all....(maybe a podcast, hmmm, /s)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This Vincent Price parody is fantastic.

Best character in the film.

In fact, only character that isn't terrible.

AND THAT'S A WRECK

We never learn where the Food of the Gods came from, why it does what it does, what else it might have affected, or whether it ever stopped just leaking out of rocks! Our heroes leave the screen with nothing more than a voiceover! No lessons are learned by anyone, except that giant rats sound like jaguars and _definitely_ don't fuck off into the sea!

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret ! Thank you for the bingo card, @cherizilla !

Somewhere in the second half of every Sunday night movie I think, "Doesn't anyone realize how bad this film is," and then I remember why we're all here

First sound guy: Um, Mr Melchior? Lasers don't actually make noise. See, it's light amplification...

Ib Melchoir: You're fired! Get me a new sound guy!

Glenn: "Hi Mr Melchoir. I'm you're new sound guy. The name's Glenn. Glen Glenn."

IM: "That's sounds like a dumb name."

GG: What? I'm a little hard of hearing. Can you speak up?

IM: I SAID THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DUMB NAME

GG: Oh! Yes sir! Sound is my domain.

IM: You're fired

GG: I'm hired!? Great! I'll get right to work on these laser gun sounds! Do you think it should be a buzz or a beep?

IM: Oh boy. Beeping!? That's your big idea?

GG: Annoying beeping is a good idea? That's weird, but OK. I'll give it a go.

IM: I give up.

  TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Bud Westmore, jealous of Patrick's potential fame during promotional tours, made changes to prevent her from getting credit for designing the Gill-man and eventually made sure she was fired from Universal.

It wasn't until 1978 that the truth began to be revealed by in the film media. She was alive until 1998 to enjoy the fame.

But none have been QUITE that funny :D #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Gary Larson predicted this.

Swamp yellin’

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Well, that's not a terrible film, but you can really tell that it was super low budget and rushed.

Apparently, Corman had two days before he had to tear down the sets for his previous movie, so he figured why waste those two days, and he filmed this movie during those two days.

I'll bet there was a bunch of improvising on set.

THAT ROCKS. THAT IS THE BEST ENDING. YOU COULD HAVE. AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE LAST 5.

My HVAC people offered the giant gargoyle firepit option for my house when I needed my furnace replaced, but it turns out I'd need to get an easement from the City of Minneapolis to for evil lairs and wizardry, and I just didn't want to show up for the council meeting to get it approved.

⏲️ 30-minute poll 🎪🧛‍♀️

CORRECT ANSWER

is #2 Tiger would not bite pork

The director blew through 500 feet of film trying to get the tiger to chomp on a fake arm filled with pork. They had to switch to beef for the Tiger to chomp.

#TheManWithTheXRayEyes

A little bit of trivia via Wikipedia:

In his non-fiction book Danse Macabre, Stephen King claims there were rumors the ending originally went further, with Milland crying out "I can still see" after gouging out his eyes. Corman has denied the existence of that ending but expressed enjoyment with the idea, saying "Now it's interesting. Stephen King saw the picture and wrote a different ending, and I thought, 'His ending is better than mine.'"

#Monsterdon #XTheManWithTheXRayEyes

why is he acting like its a curse but then he keeps doing it?

The Forbidden Planet #StarTrek #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
What they aren't showing you is the sad EPILOGUE.

Captain guy continues his misogyny thinking he has a little wifey, and is surprised when he finds Alta in the doctor's bed.

He yells at her in a threatening manner. ROBBIE protects her, and they have a stand off.
The men are on the captain's side wanting to turn off Robbie. Scientist's kid, Alta, reprograms the robot to avoid dad's programming. It kills all but the cook, and the three of them travel the universe together.
THE END

Well that was a good movie. We deserve them now and then.
Misogyny aside, that was a really really good movie.
We deserve something horrible now to make up for this...

THIS MOVIE IS NOT ON TUBI. Beware the peril of #WrongFrogs

#monsterdonalert

#monsterdon SKELETOR DIDN'T DIE AFTER ALL and he just threatened us with a sequel, unacceptable

But on the plus side he did apparently fuck off into a sparkly pink sea of some kind, so we'll always have that at least

Okay, looking at everyone else's posts, I think I enjoyed #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures about 500% more than everyone else doing this #monsterdon

Granted, I didn't actually enjoy it, but most of yall are tooting like refugees fleeing a war zone and quietly bemoaning the loss of your family dog and also several years of your lives.

Mother of hell, I want to delete this from my drive immediately, but I can’t, because I’m going to make my father watch it and explain 1962 to me. #monsterdon

Had to go to the tags to see if this was #monsterdon or #uspol

it’s blowing my mind James Cameron designed this and the teen from the Waltons is the star of the movie.

what’s even more mindblowing is that the interior of the ship looks like the ship in Star Trek, The Next Generation; and Wil Wheaton is just a doppelganger of Richard Thomas.
