Alright it is twenty minutes until #MONSTERDON, which means if you don't want to see a bunch of nerds watching a monster movie you should set up a filter!
Folks, this week on #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party, we've got an HG Wells classic. Yes it's JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1977), which actually looks like a decent production. The costumes look solid and the MUTTONCHOPS definitely look period-accurate. Good god.
Folks, it is an hour until #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party.
This week we're watching KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977), which features William Shatner and about 5,000 spiders. If either of those things is a problem for you, I heartily recommend filtering this hashtag, which can be done in your Preferences.
This week on #Monsterdon, it's KINGDOM OF THE SPIDER (1977) starring William Shatner! It's gonna be like The Giant Spider Invasion but with better spiders and Captain Kirk gnawing on the scenery for an hour and a half :D
It's 8pm Eastern which means there's only one hour left until #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party. If you don't want your timeline full of toots about a goofy old flick, set up a filter while you can.
This week we're watching LOGAN'S RUN (1976), a sci fi thing about a dystopia that kills you at 30. Jack Weinberg, dictator?
This Sunday at 9pm eastern witness the return of #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party! This week's movie is LOGAN'S RUN (1976), which Roger Ebert apparently called a "vast, silly extravaganza." Sounds right up our street.
Further proof that "AI" is not really a thing (as if such proof is necessary)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 is streaming on YouTube, it's a legit stream from Shout! Factory.
YT drops ads into the stream, essentially at random, in the middle of scenes. Which is stupid and makes the stream fairly unwatchable.
MST3K was originally a cable TV show and has commercial breaks built into it -- the original bumpers are still in the show. The show also features a flashing light signal that the characters in the show recognize as "commercial sign." It literally signals some of the commercial breaks.
A twelve year old could identify the commercial break points in all 10 seasons of the show in an afternoon.
Instead, YT dropped three random commercial breaks in the middle of scenes in a half hour. As much as I love MST3K, I can't watch that. Total #enshittification. Doesn't help YT, the advertisers or Shout!
If Google had an actual AI that worked, you would think they would apply it here. Seems pretty simple, and surely other old TV shows are streaming on YT as well.
In ONE HOUR #MONSTERDON returns! Every Sunday at 9pm EST we watch a monster movie and toot about it! If that sounds annoying, prepare to filter the hashtag.
This week we're watching THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1979)! Jack Palance is in this? Is Palance to TSoTtC as Plummer was to Starcrash? Only time will tell!
Don’t know if there is much interest in costuming on Mastodon yet, but these are our costumes from the recent Costume Con 42. Tom Servo and Pearl Forrester from #mst3k.
Tom Servo was over 9 feet tall, and I was using a camera and virtual glasses to see where I was going. #costuming#cosplay
So this week on #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party, we'll be seeing THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1979). It looks very Space Mutiny, very Starcrash. I'm looking forward to it :D
Folks in a little under an hour your dash will be overtaken by a flood of movie-related commentary that we like to call #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch-along party. If that sounds irritating I suggest setting up a block for the hashtag in your Preferences page.
Looks like this week's #Monsterdon will be It Came From Outer Space (1953), a classic sci fi yarn about a spaceship that crashes in a dude's back yard and then starts bodysnatching folks! No pods, by the looks of things, but maybe the aliens will turn out to be giant okra or something :D
OKAY I LET THE EVENING GET AWAY FROM ME but it is --yeesh- FIFTEEN MINUTES until #MONSTERDON which this week is PROJECT MOON BASE (1953) WHY AM I YELLING I DON'T KNOW JUST GO WITH IT
This week on #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party, we've got PROJECT MOON BASE (1953), a sci fi epic set in the distant future of 1970, where a woman is president! Wacky.
Incidentally this was on #MST3k S1, Kevin Murphy described it as "openly and condescendingly hostile toward women as a gender" So, y'know, fair warning.
Took a screenshot of a few things I was trying out with #NetBSD10; the Zabbix dashboard has BSD Raspberry Pi wi-fi interface traffic, or lack thereof.
"Teenage Caveman" starred Robert Vaughn (later as the Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s cool spy Napoleon Solo), on VLC. With an #MST3K treatment.
We at #Monsterdon would like to wish you a happy #Easter, and invite you to celebrate the revival of another brown dude -- BLACULA (1972)!
It's -- er -- forty-five-ish minutes until 9pm eastern, which is when we start! If you don't wanna see a flood of toots, set up a filter! If you DO wanna watch, the movie's available on Tubi, over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100011941/blacula
@MikeImBack@RickiTarr I decided to wait on the netflix series when I saw it was done by the game of thrones people. I really liked the books and I don't want to see them fuck it up.
It's not hard sci-fi. It's using a sci-fi setting to tell a story and explore difficult concepts. #MST3K rule applies. Repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."
It is ONE HOUR until the Sunday night classic #MONSTERDON, wherein we watch and toot about a bad monster movie. You can avoid it with a hashtag filter.
We're watching THE WEREWOLF OF WASHINGTON (1973) which appears to answer that long-pondered question, what if there was a werewolf in the White House? ...No, I'm not joking, that's actually what it's about.
