Engine's ringing! Aren't you going to answer it? WILL SOMEONE ANSWER THAT ENGINE?

The twink will fight the Varda #monsterdon

@tankgrrl fuck: I was worried that was just me… #monsterdon

#monsterdon Famous Varda in history: Frank Lloyd Wright

edit: That ship has testicles, maybe not so much.

He hasn't yet calibrated Siri to recognize his voice.

#Monsterdon

Our timeline where for historical and cultural reasons everyone hates ship computers with too much personality and free will

#monsterdon

@Taweret it's called sedona #monsterdon

#Monsterdon So this is Star Warts without the sand?

Why didn't the Big Bad just ask if they're willing to capitulate now, and save 6 days?

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

"You're a boy. You're a John-boy!"

A 30 year old BOY

#Monsterdon

That's a well-equipped starship.

#SciFi #Monsterdon

Snacks: tamarind candy (and ginger if that runs out)
Drink: Duvel (and Rodenbach Cru if that runs out)

#Monsterdon

This matches the anime trope where all evil alien races are blue or gray #monsterdon

"You're a boy" "That ship is a junkpile", wise old mentor... wait does that ship have a package?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Zed's dead?

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondtheStars

I'm actually loving the lighting and sets in this one. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars1980

#Monsterdon After #StarWars did EVERY space opera have to start with a giant space ship flyby?
#BattleBeyondTheStars

“I gotta salvage THIS ENTIRE PLANET for one good arm” #monsterdon

The Farter? #Monsterdon

Who will protect us from the people that protect us from the mercenaries?!

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

the only thing that can stop a bad man with a creature of violence is a good guy with a creature of violence #monsterdon

@Taweret my cats keep refusing to go get me cupcakes, so I guess it's just peanut butter cups & ginger ale for #Monsterdon

Why come later when you can conquer it now?
#monsterdon

ah yes…the Akira…… #monsterdon

Whoever did the visual effects on this one might have been better off not identifying themselves

#Monsterdon

My brain still has this film recorded in SD, off of broadcast, on a well-loved VHS tape I managed to catch 5 minutes in in the mid-80s.

I keep being surprised how *good* this film looks for it's budget class.

#monsterdon

WTF! Just killing random people? Sheesh!

#monsterdon

Girlfriend: The egg-shaped cave homes are kinda cool.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

I bet they got some great cuckoo clocks on that planet. #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

you can just call days in your scifi stories days. most planets have days. its a natural way to measure time

#monsterdon

all these geometric scene wipes. they are really doing a George Lucas #Monsterdon

"Announcement: I am the bad guy. I'm really, really bad. My objective is to be even worse." #monsterdon

Burned to ass?

Elocution, Saxon!

#Monsterdon

Well, in addition to Star Wars, I detect some Star Trek influence, and a nontrivial dash of Zardoz. #monsterdon

The Paper Chase… in space! #Monsterdon

So we got some space warlord shock and awe huh

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

AKIRA!

TETSUO

🌌 TRIVIA BEYOND THE STARS 🪐

Low Budget Special Effects 🧵 1

Roger Corman increased the production budget to $2M, but couldn't find an SFX company that could work under that amount. So he started creating his own in-house SFX group.

James Cameron was on that team, as was Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton was known as the guy to keep everyone's spirits up working in the wee hours.

#BattleBeyondTheStars

He's leaving a Space Cicada to watch them. #Monsterdon

Is that the Luke? I bet that’s the Luke. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i kinda wanna watch the 3 amigos again some time, i'm not sure it'll hold up tho

I love the flex of a face-orb projecting a gigantic face down to the planet

#Monsterdon

how much is '7 risings' in like hours?

#monsterdon

We're just in it all of a sudden. Did I miss the setup? Or was it just BEEP BOOP HERE WE GO

#Monsterdon

Picking a planet that orbits a red giant as the location for your people's new colony is probably not the best of ideas.

#Monsterdon

Oh friends, I thought I had never seen this but the visuals are bringing back ancient memories

#Monsterdon

They’re shooting everyone named Will #monsterdon

Rebel Moon (2023)

#monsterdon

you’re an interstellar species with the most powerful weapon in the universe and you want our GRAIN? #monsterdon

I’ll see your Stella converter and raise you a Blanche converter. #Monsterdon

Wow, that's some really accurate armament to be able to pick out individuals from that height. #Monsterdon

What is this fighting technique everyone's on the business end of that they have the cool vertical scar over the eye, it's prominent across space and time #monsterdon

#monsterdon Representation: the evil bad guy has a physical disability! ;)

Wait, why would he burn the whole planet to ash if they don't submit? If we can't have it then nobody can?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ ⭐ 🥊🥊 😱

Excellent stunt falls! Wowza!

Holy crap, are they ever obviously referencing the opening of Star Wars IV.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Release the pew pews!

#BattleBeyondTheStars #Monsterdon

I love beep-beep-boop sound effect that was used everywhere by everyone #monsterdon

#monsterdon Great crowd! Is anyone here from Waukegan?

If I have any commentary while watching Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), this will be my root post for #Monsterdon this week.

If anyone doesn't know what Monsterdon is it is a weekly watch of a movie together and the formal news alerts are posted to the MonsterdonAlert hashtag if you want to see what people are watching this week.

You can mute people's root posts (like this one) or mute either of the hashtags if you aren't interested.

@brooke yes

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Burned to ass!?

#monsterdon

Bad guys ugly. Innocent victims beautiful. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Kodama City, population, all the Kodama

That village looks like something from "Fantastic Planet"

#Monsterdon

This is exactly how we're going to annex Greenland #monsterdon #uspol

A "Stellar Convertor”? Curious about what that entails. Does it convert stars into weapons energy? Does it destroy stars?

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

You cannot resist me. Look at how irresistible I am

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

A stellar converter. It can make each of you into stars. Well, since you all came from stars, it can turn you all BACK into stars. I guess.

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

#Monsterdon wait this is magnificent seven / seven samurai

@nev
#SplendaDaddy says "Hundreds, and they just keep making them. Just look at Disney+"
