@Taweret I'm never awake for monsterdon, so I'm not voting.

Ive seen that Doctor Who and its got a really weird vibe for Who and none of the actors appear is anything else Who.

Its not bad, its just different. I can't remember what I thought of the sound design, which is usually my major preoccupation with Who....

@Taweret

holy crap, "End of the World"?

That was released as a double feature with Laserblast. In a double feature, the better movie went second.

EotW was the opener.

@mwl @Taweret Now *that's* an endorsement

@celesteh @Taweret

The TV show only started in autumn of 1963, So they only had about one or two years of show to go from when they started production.

People always say that the movie is very different than the show, but never having seen it, I'm curious to see if the movie was that different from the 1965 season of the show, or if what people are really saying is that 60s Who in general is not what they expect having grown up with more modern versions.

@apLundell @celesteh he wasn't even an alien originally

@Taweret @apLundell @celesteh Hm, the more I read, the more intrigued I am. https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comments/1oq7pux/dr_who_the_daleks_a_film_but_not_really_doctor_who/

@apLundell @Taweret

I've been watching the first series and its also a weird vibe, but this film is yet another weird vibe.

The Quatermas of the Pit and of the Experiment are also very different from each other, so the BBC was definitely into loose adaptations in those days.

@LingLass @Taweret @apLundell

Is there more than one Doctor Who film in that series??

[davesdogmaggie@mstdn.social]

@Taweret

Dr. Who and the Daleks?

Saw them live at Nassau Coliseum, which is much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside.

Amazing show.

@davesdogmaggie @Taweret Darmok and Jilad opened for them at Tanagra, didn't they?

[randy_s@mefi.social]

@davesdogmaggie @Taweret I caught them opening for Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

[davesdogmaggie@mstdn.social]

@randy_s @Taweret

Did you and @socketwench go to the same show?

[socketwench@masto.hackers.town]

@davesdogmaggie @randy_s @Taweret Unfortunately, my Mirab didn't unfurl sails just outside of Shaka's Walls, so I couldn't go.

[davesdogmaggie@mstdn.social]

@socketwench @randy_s @Taweret

Perfect.

[newpa_hasai@mastodon.social]

@Taweret Dr Who would be interesting to compare with the Quartermass eXperiment. But Critters 4 is Critters 4

[randy_s@mefi.social]

@davesdogmaggie @Taweret @socketwench Must have been, I missed this earlier reply due to a broken subspace relay or something

[combatwombat@hachyderm.io]

@LingLass @Taweret @apLundell @celesteh Nice. „within the Whoniverse, the movies exist with the blessing of the Doctor themselves, as stories told to Peter Cushing.“

[flowerpot@mas.to]

@Taweret Why people no like Reptilian monster movie? It has monster.

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@Taweret DOCTOR WHO.

Ahem. Sorry, I lost my cool for a second there.
