setting up my thread @bunnyhero

i still haven't decided if i'm going to actually watch my newly acquired VHS copy for tonight. it's weird having a VCR hooked up to a 4K tv lol

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero

It didn't come with a free CRT??

@klu9 i suppose i could dig out my commodore monitor but it's pretty far back in the closet :P #monsterdon
@bunnyhero @klu9 which model? because the 1702 has a rainbow on the front, there's only so far into the closet you can go

ok i'm going to start on VHS at least but might switch over to something else if i encounter analog issues (bad tracking, etc, or if i just get tired of the blurriness)

#monsterdon

i had to be careful to not cue up my tape too early because the VCR will unpause after 5 minutes to avoid tape damage :P

#monsterdon

i've seen this before but it would have been at least 15, maybe 20 years ago. i've wiped most of it from my memory

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero I'm sure by the first 2 minutes that if I've ever seen it, it was at a watch party. No way I'd sit through 100 minutes of this by myself at home. #monsterdon

and that's why you call before you dig

#monsterdon

meanwhile, in space ...

#monsterdon

they said there was a sacred cave
yonggary lived, too young to shave
but you don't really dig godzilla do ya?

#monsterdon

pew pew pew!

#monsterdon

these line reads 🤣

#monsterdon

"it smells so old, for a young gary"

#monsterdon

so the VHS copy i got was for "promotional use only. not for sale or rental." every 20 minutes or so these words scroll up the screen. really adds to the experience

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero #monsterdon

YO! the NSIA is gonna get after ya!

@bunnyhero At least it gives you something to do..... #monsterdon
@bunnyhero your color is at least better. watching the VHS transfer from archive.org. that’s pretty faded but it has a dated charm

real beast wars vibes on the cgi

#monsterdon

i appreciate the number of "crowds fleeing" shots

#monsterdon

YYAAAYYYY

#monsterdon

they still haven't figured out that yonggary can duck

#monsterdon

we got jetpacks!

... why jetpacks?

#monsterdon

attack its weak point for massive damage!

#monsterdon
