@apLundell That's the exact moment she knew he was the man for her #monsterdon
@strangefour Girl's into transistors, I heard #monsterdon
@helianthropy That is the intended response to #monsterdon
@strangefour heh, well, I should expect nothing more from #Monsterdon
@helianthropy woohoo! 🎉 mission accomplished
I'm speechless. But had a great time, as always. Thanks, @Taweret and company. #Monsterdon
@jessecohn "Battle Beyond the Stars" which is this week's #Monsterdon movie (written by John Sayles, directed by Roger Corman).
@YsengrinWolf @foolishowl OH! Wow I somehow missed that. Probably from trying to read some chat... Then again I feel like that's a detail I missed as a kid too. Man the writing is sloppy.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@ranjit We'll never know.
@Zerofactorial Omg. The Valkyrie's also a space scalie. Just one that doesn't need to warm herself on hot rocks.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
Finally caught up, that's a bit moralizing at the end, innit? Everybody died but it's ok, my people who are not yours believe they're not really actually dead! The end!
Y’ALL!
today was a solid Monsterdon with quality actors doing horrible acting with a gawdawful script but not too shabby special effects and score/soundtrack.
this may be the best of the worse in the Corman cinematic universe and we got to enjoy this hot mess.
well done!
@CactuarJoe It was just so mockable #monsterdon
@apLundell fair argument well made
@diazona @strangefour Yes, but nothing super interesting about them #monsterdon
@blogdiva holy shit really?
harrison ford has _almost_ killed himself doing that a couple of times, I think
@MissGayle ah yes of course
@strangefour I am told there are credits and they can be found on the YouTube version, at least
THAT"S IT!?
Wow that stops more abruptly than even the usual Monsterdon flick. Almost mid sentence.
I guess all those space ship pilots were fucked off into the sea of stars.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@MissGayle or I guess "have" to is the wrong word, but I'm going to wind up doing it regardless lol
🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Thank you @Taweret for hosting this Corman Cacophony!
and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: Communications Breakdown
And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: I have been destroyed by the scroll and didn't even see a lot of it. Will go back soon and respond to many comments.
We have gear! Get your Monsterdon pillow to throw at the screen! Or get shirts! Or hoodies!

@MissGayle ahh thanks I'll have to grab a copy of that and check it out
Ah, thank you @Taweret ! Every bit as cheesy a movie as I remembered - this is one that gets re-watched once a decade or so.
Saw it *several* times at a drive-in theater back when it released, and I throw out a reference every so often even nowadays.
@strangefour Oh no, not Nell! TITS ALL OVER NOW #Monsterdon
@strangefour Most of us here don't use their birth names; and I go by a nickname or initials when I can. If I had a spaceship and a star to steer by, I wouldn't be using my old name.
#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@bunnyhero that's what @socketwench said so I'm pretty sure
@moira i think that was starcrash? #monsterdon
@kcarr2015 lol composer shade
I like them both though... random fact: I saw Hans Zimmer in concert once, it was a pretty sweet show
@socketwench Thank you! I always get these nonsense movies confused xD
My goodness this was a clusterfuck. Not only bad but made my brain hurt. What a mess of a plot. The end!
Yet I have a feeling that this is somehow a cult movie amongst sci fi writers and directors, there are lots of elements here I remember from much better films that came years later. Coincidence? #monsterdon
@apLundell I want to watch all the outtakes for this scene.
There's ten minutes left? Wait are all the alien space ship samurai dead?
Oh it's not Seven Samurai. It's Rogue One.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@fabio Things were done
#Monsterdon 👨🚀 👩🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ ⭐ 🥊🥊 😱
The battle (?) beyond (?) the stars (?) is over and it was not a good movie in my opinion!
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for bingo, @JoeWynne for trivia and all of you #Monsterdonians for the fun 💞
Abrupt ending. And not a minute too soon. #Monsterdon
@PixysJourney 🎉 🎉 🎉
Honestly most of the time your life is vastly improved by not watching the movie 😂
@foolishowl For food? The only thing of value this little village planet has.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@h3net That would work! #MonsterDon
okay so what's the star wars ripoff where they're doing surface runs on basically a giant hand?
i was trying to tell my sister about this movie, and about the Nestors, and she said...
because they were nested.
oh no... lololol
#monsterdon
Sudden ending, a #monsterdon tradition!
power pose: kill 💀
#Monsterdon
Oh did the cowboy die? Good riddance I guess #monsterdon
@Taweret "Yeah, just watch me" #monsterdon
We did it I guess #monsterdon
The moral of the story is if you follow your dreams you can't expect audiences to understand one bit of what you came up with #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Hans Zimmer can suck it, James Horner rules!
@wohali I'll say! #MonsterDon
Six minutes left, Nell has lost her mind, self-destruction, what else should I expect? #monsterdon
And still NOBODY GOT PUNCHED
I am disappoint
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! This was... something. My brain hurts. Just what I needed today 😀 See y'all next week!
I remember Quopeg being introduced but I can't remember a damn thing he did #monsterdon
Oh shit. She goes out like Chara Soon. Boobs out and blowing up to take out the enemy with her. Damn fine ending for a Valkyire.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
@yatsu (((T_T)_T)_T)?... #MonsterDon
More Corman SciFi please! Frankenstein Unbound would be my pick.
@strangefour Maybe she's not a mammal #monsterdon
So, who's still alive?
Incredible matte paintings, like Neverending Story level, very enjoyable
#Monsterdon Pfft, and people said #SecretInvasion was crap!
the Nestors will live on in our... arms. #monsterdon
@ranjit <crossing fingers>
Julia Duffy as Mol‽ We have a Newhart connection!
@jsadow @Taweret This is 100% proper #Monsterdon
@RobynGoodfellow I just saw William Windom on a Colombo episode a few hours ago! #MonsterDon
And now, the procreation!#Monsterdon
@moira just the credits #monsterdon
@ricci Oh great, now you've jinxed us all, they're going to make sequel because you said that.
@plaidtron3000 I think it's a translation error
@SnoopJ good to know at least
Quopeg's tattoo gets a makeup artist credit.
@Taweret well nobody fucked off into the sea but those two are definitely fucking in space #monsterdon
@Taweret Thanks for hosting. I feel like my IQ is about 20 points lower after watching that movie which is kind of relaxing.
@north but they were my favorite! they didn't say anything!
Credits. Finally! #Monsterdon
Had fun at my first #Monsterdon. Drank way less than I expected, though. Was all the typing.
@helianthropy Yep, it's all one score throughout a number of Horner movies, just sliced and diced differently. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
Hang in there brain guys!
NESTOR NOOOOOO! 🧠
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
Nell saves the day by self-destructing.
Oh, apparently some of y'all aren't getting the credits with that swelling soundtrack.
Sabor failed at trying to Ship of Theseus himself.
John Saxon is pouting. This will not end well #Monsterdon
OK, I managed to survive that film AGAIN (having seen it not more than 3 months ago).
I love y'all, but please pick something better for next time, ok?
thank you @Taweret and @JoeWynne and @cheribaker - try to have a better night, ok?
Gnite #monsterdon !
And just like that, it's over. #Monsterdon
Thank you everyone for participating, and Thank you to @Taweret for hosting.
@Taweret thank you for donning the monsters!
Nell: "Blow the ship? Wait one damn minute!" #monsterdon
it was funnier when I was a kid
#monsterdon
Note that they aren't the same as pasties. Pasties are meant to be seen. Not so with nipple covers.
I think my problem with this film is that I went into it with expectations that were entirely too high.
#monsterdon Wow abrupt ending on the tubi (dl'd) version
That was something. Thanks @tawaret #monsterdon #battlebeyondthestars
@davesdogmaggie yeah, the bathroom
I'm going to stick around for the credits just so I know who to blame for this
fin@bunnyhero But then they should have gotten waffles #monsterdon
