@Lazarou@mastodon.social you probably saw it already but yeah, pretty popular among filmmakers too which means the neighbors must have _loved_ living next to it https://mstdn.plus/@JoeWynne/117385609264582379

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️
⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL
The historic Ennis House in Los Feliz, California, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924 was used for exterior shots.
You've seen the same building in:
Blade Runner (1982)
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Twin Peaks (1990–1991)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
Rush Hour (1998)
House of Frankenstein (1944)
The Terminal Man (1974)

#monsterdon Monologue comes to an end "I'm sorry, I just passed out what day is it?"
"Make-an-ism"
#monsterdon They did this time gimmick in the Gerry Anderson UFO cut-together-from-the-series movie, too, sweet!
Also is there a definitive guide on what happens when you touch a time-traveling version of yourself (non-lewd)? I've only ever seen it alluded to but it's always bad and this film just hung a lampshade on that
#monsterdon #wrongFrogs My favorite part of Wizard of Mars so far is the big tape drive they keep showing where the reels are unwinding tape onto the floor because that's what happens when they rotate like that
#monsterdon I think this film invented the St. Elsewhere ending
#wizardOfMars
#monsterdon And again, that strange feeling even here, that some strange alien vibraphones are following us...
#monsterdon Wait that was it? They should just rename themselves Capt Kirk and Yeoman Rand and move the dial 1 year back, hope that Lucille Ball is impressed with them.
#monsterdon "Well I hope the long hike leads us to _something_"
Sorry, as it turns out the dog wasn't that shaggy after all :-(

@JoeWynne@mstdn.plus as ordered, I did use some Tequila-based kahlua and nearly polished off my un-aged rum:
(Speaking of cola based cocktails, if you add ice and 1.5 oz of the creme de cacao from last week's drink to a can of coke it's a very close approximation of gen-x "favorite" "Choc-Ola". Very close. So close you might take 3 sips of it)

#monsterdon after capping/uploading that still I just want to say that is _amazing_ cinematography there- the shot is just so perfect with the tail of the 40's vert and the big red hand "Don't walk" signal and the actress waving you don't even really need to make the joke. you just know, even 40 years later what's about to happen in a half-second...
#monsterdon This guy sounds like one of those "awooooga" horns

#monsterdon "But why would the sharks kill him after all that?"

@cmdln@thecommandline.social #monsterdonalert is a good hashtag to subscribe to- even if you're not following the #monsterdon tag full-time (it's a LOT less busy and has reminders of the movie)
#monsterdon is the movie implying with all this guy's flopping around in the fight that he's using some form of shark-based martial arts? Sharktial arts?
Jawesome!

#monsterdon I mean I know I'll fail shortly after this film ends but so far I'm batting 1000 on the micro-agressive, fake incredulous repeat every time someone mentions "Laser"
#monsterdon okay that's gotta be an unbroken record for most death fakeouts by a single character in the history of Rowenas
#monsterdon okay I think I'm gonna bail on this one- would-be-filmmakers take note: Do NOT hire a cartoon sound effects guy as your foley. Not their fault, they're just doin' what they know.
#monsterdon 🎶 In the yeeeeeaaaaar 6969 (nice)

#monsterdon Honestly though has anyone else noticed exactly how much striped textile this movie has? 2/3 scenes have at least one textile with stripes. Go skip around the film for a minute or two if you don't believe me.
#monsterdon And once again, I didn't give her the mono. Forgot about that one #nightOfTheComet
#monsterdon This was probably scary as hell for people who never lived in/visited florida/owned an encyclopedia with pictures.
#monsterdon [hair brushing intensifies]
#monsterdon First recorded use of the old joke: How do you know if there's a pilot at your party? Don't worry, they'll bring it up...
#monsterdon I love that someone invented the couch remote cubby decades before they invented the remote control
#monsterdon I think this is obviously not ghosts because ghosts aren't going to waste time doing a textbook gaslight. If a ghost wants to get you they'll just get you.
#monsterdon if this guy folds that paper over and shoves a pencil through it I STFG
#monsterdon before this LAZER EXPLODES?🤨
#monsterdon Someone call up Carl Sagan and let him know what that grant money's getting used for
while typing Oh THAT's Buffy Dee, the disco Captain Kangaroo guy. That was a heck of an outfit. and we get more striped shirts...
#monsterdon Crazy Eyed Protagonist disrobes, climbs into the shark tank with the sharks, not really doing anything to disprove the shark-fucker rumors. #makoJawsOfDeath
#monsterdon I look forward to the near future when all science types are as skeptical of literally everything as the ones in this early/mid 60's film are

#monsterdon Wenches? I think he means MEEEEEEEE!
Fixed the media issue HEIC/HEIF is no good :/
#monsterdon Rooms? Guns? LAZER BEAMS???
#monsterdon This is one of the better colorization jobs. I mean, I haven't seen one that I'd consider actually worth the money spent on it yet, but it hasn't annoyed me into re-de-saturating it in VLC yet (meta-key + E if you need to do this)

Anyway the hair-do's were nice, and the 4 part sliding door was someone just showing off, but it looked pretty good. As for the double feature, short-sleeved speed suits over short sleeve tactical mock-turtlenecks, certainly a choice...
#monsterdon Vincent Price -is- William Shatner _as_ Roy Orbison ~as~ Lord Fell. In. Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
#monsterdon so this must be one of the keys if it's getting Miami radio but the Gulf of Mexico is right over there and-GAH what in the name of sea slugs is that thing growing on professor midwest?
