"it is our emissary sir."
okay, that was genuinely hilarious tho.
#monsterdon

It's a bag of poop. I made it just for you!

#monsterdon

The Lamda zone!? We can't go there! They have *functions* there!

#monsterdon

Saunders be like just let me go do my fucking job you old man's head
#monsterdon

you can just say 'that's the computer'

why wouldn't you say that?

#monsterdon

Lil Nell's number later will absolutely stop the show

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

The lady turned off the android at the EXACT same time as I got a Mastodon notification, and I was like huh?! :blobcatmelt: Why did it sound like that?

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars1980

@Taweret imma gonna wish everyone a "good rising" for this whole cycle and see how many friends I have left #Monsterdon

Look the lady’s got to bring her Gaming PC #monsterdon

#monsterdon the "marionette acting" or whatever you call it from the androids is iffy but the servo sounds were actually helping sell it.

First design sketch for the ship #monsterdon

When the doors on this space station open, it sounds like Darth Vader breathing.

#Monsterdon

Boob ship... Away! 🚀

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

“You know about computers. You can help us.” #Monsterdon

Then back to the boob ship

Are we beyond the stars yet?

#BattleBeyondTheStars #Monsterdon

That was the fastest most anticlimactic sci-fi jailbreak ever.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Darth Vader breathing sounds for the doors?

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

The robot guy Saunders with the echoey voice is doing some serious C-3PO rip-off acting here. I guess 1980 is just four years after Star Wars.

#monsterdon

"Come with me! You know about computers, you can help us!" This movie is just an IT recruitment ad #monsterdon

I love the homing lasers in the Captor Grid.

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

see, if she showed up in the ship, she'd be able to say "THIS IS UNIX! I KNOW THIS!"

#monsterdon

"You know about computers. You can help us!"

Well, okay, that's the first unrealistic thing in this space drama plot.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Ever had that friend there drops some horrible trivia in the worst possible moment of the conversation

But the niña cannot act #Monsterdon

The Breaking Out ceremony.... followed quickly by the Zit-Popping ceremony

#monsterdon

again, in your scifi story, you can just call years years. all planets have years

#monsterdon

wow this is getting weird already
#monsterdon

the huddites _really_ hate their kids, _clearly_

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Oh my goodness they’ve implemented reply guy androids #monsterdon

I don’t know anything, please teach me your ways space man
#monsterdon

Just bang her so you can get on with your Quest.

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Just riding down the hallway in a giant Famicom…

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

ooooh she's inexperienced!

#monsterdon

wait. is this part supposed to be comedy?

#monsterdon

Why do they even HAVE a conjugal suite? #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

"Finally some use for those mime skills!"

-- Android actor

#Monsterdon

AHA! Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, episode "Flight Of The War Witch" (1980) – Council Leader. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Are the robots named leprous and sprew? Did I hear that right?

#Monsterdon

Oh I do like a man with an off switch. #monsterdon

@Keiraleesharonart no need neck in space #Monsterdon

All the androids are white too....

#monsterdon

oh I knew it, this old guy is a perv

#Monsterdon

Lol, and then it's right on to "your planet is doomed, you're going to repopulate my empty station"

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

This film really does want to be Star Wars. #monsterdon

Uh is this the farmer’s daughter joke? #monsterdon

This bit with the disassembled robot singing is intriguingly weird.

#Monsterdon
#BattleBeyondTheStars

Turns out this is Castle Anthrax in Space

#Monsterdon

...>_> #Monsterdon

I didn't know it was a rom com
#Monsterdon

Me at work next year: "Forms must prey on other forms to survive."

#Monsterdon

Can’t wait to see this kid fight with shirtless Sting!
#monsterdon #battlebeyondthestars

I feel like I've seen Head guy in Buck Rogers or Battlestar Galactica. Maybe both. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

It is polite to show your guts to guest

#Monsterdon

Old dude just flashes himself instead of 'hello'

#monsterdon

What does that white drainpipe do?

#monsterdon

She will shoot an IPhone dead on sight.

#monsterdon

That’s just what an Android would say #monsterdon

@ottaross You see it too? #monsterdon

That’s quite a welcome wagon #monsterdon

because I could see mel Brooks putting boobs on a spaceship but then there would also be jokes and stuff

#monsterdon

The Pacled are working for Space Napoleon? They are very smart.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Please keep your head and all limbs inside the car until the ride has come to a complete stop.

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

lol, tbf that's how I would welcome guests on my space habitat who didn't ask permission to dock

#monsterdon

This is my new xmas soundtrack
#monsterdon

#monsterdon why would you sit in it lmao

Ahhh, yes, the underwater gargling choir. Really popular...in....space.

#monsterdon

Bad guys: building people out of body parts

Good guys: building people out of wires

#Monsterdon

lol, creepy singing androids, excellent

#monsterdon

That's a hell of an 8-track player.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

So, the robot is the arms dealer mercenary guy, right? That's what "if he's still operative" means?

#Monsterdon

is it supposed to be a comedy or not? because there's nothing funny but otoh the ship has boobs

#monsterdon

Soundtrack so far is kinda awesome.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Yea... I'm into ship design #monsterdon

WE HAVE WIPE TRANSITION, I REPEAT, WE HAVE WIPE TRANSITION

#monsterdon

So bummed to miss #monsterdon tonight as Battle Beyond the Stars is one of my B-movie faves.

spaceship external viewing scene == long Coreman walking scene but in space

#monsterdon

These models are great, I almost don't mind the padding. #Monsterdon

Is this our Mos Eisley in space!!! #monsterdon

@Configures aye, I'm hearing a few BSG noises in this one! #monsterdon

#monsterdon All these pans of physical models are amazing though.

model guy better have gotten some serious dosh for making these ships
#monsterdon

I do very much like that Shad had no comeback. That's pretty good writing, I think we're in for a thorough treat here.

#Monsterdon

That ship is a uterus with a scrotum.
#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

@Lazarou I think I heard those spaceship pew pew noises first in *Battlestar Galactica* (the original TV series). Ah, nostalgia! #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

...Actually it's kind of creepily homunculus-like. Somewhere between a slug and a Fallout Centaur with boobs.

Bleugh. #Monsterdon

@JoeyBoughtACola if she said "shut up, Wesley" it would be perfect #monsterdon

Ship by Norelco #monsterdon

hull boobs: perky

engine nacelle fallopian tubes: locked and extended

#monsterdon

Congratulations kid! You were saved by mercenaries of following orders

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

@ottaross Well to be fair there is space above the ground

...otherwise it would be more ground

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That space ship is a condescending parent.

Every time I'm about to make a bad decision, I always rememember Lobo.

#Monsterdon

Yeah okay that ship's an upper torso with boobs. #Monsterdon

"Bickering minions who aren't good at their job"

classic

#monsterdon

For a space ship, he's flying very close to the ground for his whole trip.

#monsterdon

This guy's name is Will. Here he is being fired at.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

#Monsterdon this ship better not awaken anything in me

We are speed running the bandits attacking the little village huh. Time to go looking for several samurai.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

At least they didn't give the AI authority to fire weapons without a human in the loop #monsterdon

8. In space, no one can hear you scream

#Monsterdon
