ERNESTINE BARRIER, useful when your enemies throw women from the 1950s at you #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Film Editor, Roland Gross! He's slimy! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Score written for wobbly saw and timpani #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Jeez, this movie comes with lore :/ #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Sector number 12 come in please!"

He just went out! In or out with you kids! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Mr. Roundtree sounds like he could use some prozac. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Honestly kinda shocked they didn't give Mr. Roundtree a Sinister Foreign Name. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh no... IT'S SEPTEMBER! D: D: D: #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I was annoyed by the stretched film before, but it makes Roundtree look like a gnome in long shots so it's good :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Get a room as close to him as possible. Preferably next door."

Ask if you can use the honeymoon suite. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Hope to see you soon, sir! Nyyyyuhbye!"

Dr. Werner is VERY midwestern :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Woo, speed spy strip :3 #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Hey, I kinda like that background. Not a bad matte painting :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

SPACOM, they sell commercial spas #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

No no no, do not rely on a Macintosh camera :/ #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"It just HADDA be Bright Eyes."

They just narrowly avoided an ape rebellion, I think #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

SIDDOWN BILL

man this movie is Midwestern :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Bright eyes brought her MOM? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

WHAT

WHAT

WHAAAAT #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Also I get the impression calling the female reporter "Mrs. Prattles" is about the level of the sexual liberation we're about to see. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Shut up Brighteyes!"

Hey, fuck YOU, sir #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar
CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Why do we need a moon base!? What, you want the COMMIES to win, Mrs. Prattle!? We've got LANDS to conquer! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"It rotates around the earth on a trans-"

OH???

"polar orbit"

Oh. :/ #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Is this winding up to a fat joke? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh hey, that rocket ladder elevator thing looks familiar, did they use that on another #Monsterdon movie?

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Not a terrible rocket launch for 1953, really. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

OH MAN these FACES #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

The rocket gets into orbit and a bunch of towels pop out of the wall automatically #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Space control to Mexico..."

God dammit Lieutenant, I said no long-distance calls! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I miss the docking procedure from War Between the Planets. More movies should chuck astronauts at space stations in lieu of actually docking. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I genuinely can't decide who looks worse in their upsetting shorts. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I'm enjoying the Goofy Orientation Shots here :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Salvation Army? How'd THOSE goobers get up there? :/ #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

The sphere of the lander disconnects from the space station with an audible POONK! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh, she's got a Virtual Boy! Nice. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

I'm loving the goofy saw on the soundtrack, adds JUST the right amount of Dr. Seuss to this :D #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Doctor Werner looks like a sinister Oompa Loompa. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"The major doesn't like for someone else to play with his toys."

🤔 #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"She's fated to come around the terminator at that time"

Wait, so Bright Eyes's real name is Sarah Connor? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

This is a very weird military. Generals threaten to spank colonels, majors call colonels "kid"... #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Whoops, lentils. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"WEEEEELL, I could shove him out an airlock, condemning him to a horrifying death in the vacuum of space... Aw what the heck, I'll just practice my shibari instead." #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

These astronauts are real meaty specimens of the 1950s. Fulla pork and Schweibels. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Yeah, watch it Werner, or he'll shoot you

WITH A PISTOL

IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE

#Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Sorry, that's just my personal bugaboo >_> #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Hey, the use Michelin-brand space suits! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"You ever think about the brand of tires you use, Bill?" #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Rock climbing, folks. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Oh, he fell to his death! Wow, thank you, movie! #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

He's doing the "Mom told me to go to my room" walk back to the space ship. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Wait, so they really offed the main antagonist of this movie in an accidental fall? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

SHE WAS LITERALLY JUST ON THE WRONG CHANNEL FOR FOUR HOURS

fuck this movie. Seriously, fuck this movie. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"You're off-camera, but just act like I'm talking to someone!" #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...Wait, WHAT

They're just gonna LEAVE THEM THERE??? #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Take off your ring. This is man-to-man"

Yikes, Major.

"Yes, papi?"

YIKES MAJOR #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

...I think I know what they're driving at and I'm gonna be mad about it. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

"Yeah, the White House wants you to, uh, 'get married' major." #Monsterdon

A garbage fire

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Damn, Pac Man moving like crazy on those boards. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So then Werner suddenly shows up as A MOON ZOMBIE! YEAH!

...Aw who am I kidding. :/ #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

OH FUCK OFF #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

And so our two main characters, who have shown nothing but contempt for each other over the last hour, SUDDENLY LOVE EACH OTHER AND GET MARRIED

fuck OFF, movie #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

So the last act of the movie is literally ensuring that the man outranks the woman who's spent the whole film in command.

FUCK. OFF. MOVIE. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar
CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

That ending annoyed me so much I had to go rant in the shower about it :P #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Like, I've been watching bad movies most of my life. I've seen bad endings and I've seen weird endings. I've seen endings that made no sense and I've seen endings that were just stupid. But I can't remember seeing an ending that was that creepy, misogynistic, and dismissive all in one go.

Like, that wasn't just a turd of an ending. They built up to that ending. They left it there for a week to mature before they threw it at us. #Monsterdon

CactuarJoe,
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza avatar

Now I desperately want to make a sequel to Project Moonbase. I want to write a continuation of that story so angrily, joylessly feminist that it makes The Bell Jar look like Animal House. #Monsterdon
