honestly the reason i'm posting this other than "it's funny" is that this is one of ... no maybe the _only_ film I've actually kind of ... liked the colour version better? At least the idea of it.
This film is so abstract on its own that it doesn't need the extra abstraction of black and white and colour makes it easier to treat the characters as actual people, I think.
in the far future of 2065 they have safety-railing decolourisation technology
@Zerofactorial nah it rears up and attacks people that qualifies
@Zerofactorial eh the stuff is a monster
it rears up and attacks people that counts
okay everybody let's have some proper MONSTER in next week's movie okay
i want to find out that harlan ellison threw that beam so hard at somebody while filming the starlost that it didn't land until it hit palance right on the noggin
took over a chocolate factory for some reason?
it was all very confusing
anyway good job team and thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always
@Taweret idk, the air was pretty staticy
end up with some pretty brutal static cling and who needs that
better to live on the moon i guess
@bookandswordblog idk about tubi but the 1936 original is on archive.org:
@combatwombat The best part is how high the second beam bounces back up
and the other best part is his expression immediately afterwards
this is absolutely the best scene in the film
@blogdiva but the happy music so it's all okay
god palance being bonked by that big styrofoam beam gets funnier every time you see it :D
This should have been the closing credits song:
#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome #DavidBowie #ShapesOfThings
Ty yall for another fun time #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome
Damn though at least they saved some money for a banger of an end credits song

@paco Like whatever happened to the moon base?
barry, barry, barry... again... you left Space: 1999... for this.
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, wrangling, and herding all us misanthropes into the funtime corral!
Tonight we had all kinds of stuff in lieu of a coherent plot, including:
- Space Chem Trails!
- Snazzzy Jack Palance purple cape!
- Sparks, the pilot robot that can teleport for some unknown reason.
- Star Streak!
- Spectrum Drive!
- Pew Pews in the credit music!
@Taweret i mean, that's the end of MOST of the monsterdon movies. "what?"
Almost ended with the Star Trek theme there for a second.
