So did they save money by not giving Space Conan lines?
#monsterdon Dunno, Thrift Store Kevin Sorbo looks like about to betray the green pervert alien
It's like they wrote ten scenes, and then used the William Burroughs cut up technique to reassemble them into the script.
the thing about it being a Star Wars ripoff is that every sleazy detail is magnified in comparison #monsterdon

Are the bald guys Tricksters?

Either way, it looks happy to see us. :D @lysdexic

#monsterdon the guard is compensating for being t'5"
John Boy drives a hard, if painfully wooden, bargain.
#monsterdon
i wish someone would boil this movie down for it's protein. #monsterdon
...Queequeg? #Monsterdon
I cannot believe John Sayles wrote this fifth-grade level dialogue.
Like, is this the future, or another universe? Did I miss that? Cause I have questions about the space trucker.
#monsterdon OH COME ON
Oh no - it's the predatory glowing Space Bubbles!
Now she's been captured by the flying Shredded Wheat brick.
are we kidnapping the girl? she's been on screen like a total of 5 minutes and now she's being kidnapped and tortured? this movie is really unrelated to the talent that worked on it, isn't it. #monsterdon
Sauron! In! Spaaaace! #monsterdon
hm, maybe should have Tubied this, feel like there's fewer ads. Although this one is for Bounty except I think in Chinese, so that's nice.
#monsterdon
And being attacked by the big mouth bass of space!
this must be where they steam the hams
#monsterdon
MMmmmmmm. Yes Indeed! GELFLING LOOK TAAAAAASTY!
#monsterdon the ship is doing some serious gaping
The number of characters in this movie is rising at an alarming rate
Oh no! Not the hot vents!
Amorphous space blob in the Lambda zone!

See, he's folksy like Han Solo, only more folksy, which makes him more cool, right?

@YsengrinWolf it's beginning to freak me out π
#monsterdon
custer's last stand? so this is a future where earth exists and not like a galaxy far far away. I was unclear on that
#monsterdon Nice setup that the space trucker haa a bunch of weapons and also is a trained fighter.
She's fallen prey to the Baby Shake Anomaly #Monsterdon
Oh yeah, they were *not* subtle about the Confederate flag.
@SRLevine Han didn't seem that bothered by fighting though
I guess, more like he didn't really care, than that he was opposed to it in any way
#monsterdon bisexual lightingmade her faint??
The Boy engages Guilt Trip! Itβs Super Effective! #monsterdon
Gotcha there, Cowboy.

π TRIVIA BEYOND THE STARS πͺ
When you see an alien language on starship screens, it may be Hebrew.
There is so much of the plot stolen from Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, filmmakers made homage by naming certain aliens Akira from the planer Akir.
Meanwhile, in the Lambda Zone...
oh yeah this guy is hella loaded right now
#monsterdon
Those weapons are going to be as useful as all the weapons of that technologically advanced race that sent back their emissary as dust just a moment ago
Do we think Nell's light-up speaker is supposed to resemble a body part? #monsterdon
The lesson here is to not powderise your enemy's courier unless you want to planet to glow in the dark.
So the stellar converter actually converts planets into stars #monsterdon
We're watching Battle Beyond the Stars! @Tim_Eagon
"Yeah."

#Monsterdon
Glad he knows what the stellar converter is, even though he's never seen it before and only heard of it once
Uh, what movie is monsterdon watching tonight? My timeline is, uh, interesting...
Not from behind π #monsterdon
Was that ship boarded or not. Iβm a bit confused about the sequencing.
okay so... he can make mini-stars?
It's like a knockoff Harrison Ford/Han Solo down to the not wanting to fight...
Byebye, people powderers.
I think that just confirmed my suspicions that they're going to pull a 2001: A Space Odyssey on Nell. She's still my favourite. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars1980
@RobynGoodfellow
A sassy spaceship AI. The exact opposite of the Enterprise D's computer. π
#Monsterdon
the theme music there almost turned into the music from A Man And A Woman.

Cowboy is swathed in U-Haul blankets #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon "Sador? LIsten and understand..."
Hell is universal, but snowballs aren't.

#monsterdon Is he... Binging movies in Netflix?
