Folks it is now, erm, almost a half hour until the weekly monster movie watch party. If you don't want to see a flood of toots, consider muting the tag.

If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching FIRST MEN IN THE MOON (1964) an adaptation of an HG Wells classic. Which tend to be either gently hokey or absolute crap. Fun!

It's on Tubi or over here on Archive.org: archive.org/details/first-men-

We start at 9pm Eastern! See you there!

Fifteen minutes remain until ! Cue up the movie and get your snacks ready, we're GOING TO THE MOON

"Decontaminate."

I took a shower, sir.

"Touched by the finger of fate"

Yeah he's really got both hands in that man's moon now.

Huh, I take it back, it's actually better than a Star Trek set. Nice :D

He had to check, he forgot what England's flag looks like >_>

"Bryce to Mothership, we got some weird shit goin' on down here."

Oh check it out, someone just found the fourth Golden Ticket.

He better be careful with that ticker tape, he's gonna fling that rug straight off his bald pate.

"We don't let him watch television"

He keeps threatening to shoot Barney :/

Oh damn, where do I go to get THIS nursing home room? This is awesome.

Hghh. Our movie's prologue is starting its own prologue >_>

"The basic idea is the important thing! After that it's just slogging away!"

Yeah, actual dialogue and plot isn't important, once you've got a concept everything else is downhill.

>_> >_> >_>

"All my money is in boots"

Get it? Because I'm A HEEL

Tuba music. That's... Never a good sign.

Waiting for her to start singing to ben Franklin about her husband playing the violin.
