somebody better find 'ramming speed' on their consoles pretty soon....

#monsterdon

tchew tch-tch-tchew
#Monsterdon

Witness the powah of this fully operational stellar converter!

#BattleBeyondTheStars #Monsterdon

Dr. Strangelove's arm does a cameo #monsterdon

I can't believe @jonny is missing this

#monsterdon

We lost the jellyfish! #monsterdon

Nestor doesn't have the best tardis control room I've ever seen, unfortunately

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

kabluey

goodbye nestor

#monsterdon

What could POSSIBLY happen in 10 more minutes of this movie, my god

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Robert Vaughn's space fighting psychopath was entirely too interesting to last for this entire #movie.
#BattleBeyondTheStars

@allanb You're no fun. In universe, their "forms" have no nipples! This is my head canon. 😉

#Monsterdon

NOW! It's the CLIMAX! Show all that great FX footage of ships again ... and again ... and again

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

holy shit those guys went so hard thats bonkers. sacrificing your own pseudoself and going through the motions of suicide to kill your enemy that is way more than i think anyone expected of painted on third eye joke aliens. im shook
#Monsterdon

The val-KYR-ies are known for the strongest warrior underboob game in the galaxy

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

I like how the weapons control board that guy is tapping it is clearly an old adding machine.

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

I'm guessing this is the Death Date run?
#Monsterdon

I don't think it's a very good idea for alien species to open-mouth kiss

#monsterdon

Keyboard guy!
#monsterdon

Launch the cicadas! #Monsterdon

I wish I could tell you that this was John Sayles's first script, but that honor goes to "Piranha" (1978).

He went on to write such fare as "Eight Men Out," "Brother From Another Planet," and "The Secret of Roan Inish."

#Monsterdon

The Ropes. Show her.. NOW.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondtheStars

@falcennial aw thanks <3

it's okay, there's no real need to know what's going on in this movie, it's not like it knows what a story is or anything xD

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

@Taweret His other arm appeared to be festering and rotting away.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Even if it weren't underexplained nothing in this movie makes any sense.

#Monsterdon

@Keiraleesharonart I'm not sure this would make any more sense if you were

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The haunted alto-sax of Akiri ships. LOL

alright, the Nestors can stay. they get my vote. #monsterdon

The 3 eyed Datas have failed. #Monsterdon

In which, All is Now Doomed #monsterdon

okay but why did he want that guy's arm?

#monsterdon

The arm tries to kill him because it's still part of the distributed organism. David Weber had to have seen this movie. Well I guess that was a spoiler for something late occurring in a very long not very good space opera series that's been published for quite a while now. Whoops.

#Monsterdon

yeah honestly the remote arm trick, that was pretty good, and would've been a lot better in a better-made film

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

As long as the lights are blinkin the computers are thinkin

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondtheStars

He died as he lived, covered in raspberry jam. #Monsterdon

its like characters from different movies all wandered into he same set

#monsterdon

"I never should have brought you here."

Are you talking to the audience? Because we agree. #Monsterdon

I don't think the Valkyrie have nipples.

#Monsterdon

That was a legit clever bit about no pain tolerance. But I feel like the bandits bio/medical shenanigans were under explained?

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Whoa, white man group going for the throat. respect

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Ok the glove joke is very funny
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ ⭐ 🥊🥊 😱

ha ha arm transplant fights transplant recipient trope!

Sador has a kink for wanking with an alien arm instead of his own, tragic really....all this genocide....

#monsterdon

So to recap: we had a cross-species arm transplant done in the space of about ten seconds

Yeah sure why not

#Monsterdon

OMG! These dudes are going to be able to control that arm, aren't they?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars so everyone knows who did the special effects for this movie early in their career right?

These pale hive-mind people obviously have different hair styles under their hoods.

#monsterdon

28. According to the credits, the characters in this movie had names

#Monsterdon

why aren't they fighting right now?
#monsterdon

It’s good to have skills - brilliant! #Monsterdon

Seven space ships plus bad guys and lots of cockpit shots might be too much for good flow of these space battles. I think the editor is having a headache.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Docko.

Sador.

Cayman.

Corman is good at naming characters.

#monsterdon

"A minor planet in a third rate galaxy."

Ok.

#monsterdon

"He's good at creating pain. While keeping the person alive."

"It's good to have skills."

HAHAHAHahaha omg that was actually funny

#Monsterdon

"...that's Doctor Donnie Darko to you.”

#BattleBeyondTheStars #Monsterdon

The surgeon's name is Doc-o? #Monsterdon

"This is my surgeon, Docco."

:facepalm:

#monsterdon

I guess the Nestor are kinda 'drones'.....

#monsterdon

okay, "a meal and a place to hide" belongs in a much better movie. #monsterdon

"You've never seen a Valkyrie go down."

Uhhhhhhh OH YOU MEAN LIKE IN FLAMES OKAY

#Monsterdon

Surely they have some bacta or a cleric who can cast cure light wounds?

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

I don't know any of these characters enough to feel bad for any of them, but I definitely know I don't feel bad for the mass murderer on the team

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Make that meal pizza

#monsterdon

"You've never seen a Valkyrie go down."

#Monsterdon

Live fast. Fight well. Have a beautiful ending.

James Dean reference?

#Monsterdon

"Have somebody prepare a meal. From him. Yes, from his corpse."

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

"No violent ending is beautiful."

"You've never seen a Valkyrie go down."

I stand by what I said earlier: https://don.monster/@ramsey/113818849079208231

#Monsterdon

“You’ve never seen a valkyrie go down”

#monsterdon

Still laughing uncontrollably at the Bynars' oompa loompa dance. My belly hurts #monsterdon #battlebeyondthestars

🌌 TRIVIA BEYOND THE STARS 🪐

As production was being planned, a Hollywood trade newspaper reported that "John Wayne would star in the film, under the direction of Ingmar Bergman".

No one has admitted being behind the joke.

#BattleBeyondTheStars

Checkovs Valkyrie

#Monsterdon

She has no right nipple

#monsterdon

Was that... An actual character beat there? #Monsterdon

They're all ill, QUICK MOAR PROTEIN

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Those who live by the sword die by the sword. RIP Zed
#monsterdon

Spandex butt shot

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Oh, two for one in the spear lauching, nice job!
#monsterdon

“Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.” #monsterdon

Went down like a boss...

Zeb has ended.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ ⭐ 🥊🥊 😱

OK I just figured out old guy with staff is meant to be blind but he sure got some good clanky whacks on that other alien's noggin before he got lasered to death

The protein tank? That's where I keep all my bacon!

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Walking flamethrowers.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm melting! I'm melting! What a world!

The protein tanks? Are you going to throw the aliens into your meat vats?

#Monsterdon

if i survived a directed energy laser blast by jumping over it i would never shut the fuck up about it #monsterdon

bless the strange world of the Kelvin....

#monsterdon

No ears will protect their skulls from being spit open

#monsterdon

The author John Sayles also wrote Piranha, Alligator and The Howling and the director Murakami made Heavy Metal after. So something else must’ve gone wrong. #monsterdon

oh they're made of firefiles, how pretty!

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

I'm pretty sure "sonic weapons" cannot be defeated by covering your ears with your hands. Also the immediate mention of a sonar weapon. Are they the same weapon?

#Monsterdon

They have an LRAD!

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

"we will all be killed"
and so he was. thank god.
#monsterdon

Yes, squeezing tanks into narrow unmaneuverable trenches is exactly the strategy you should go for

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

my understanding is that this is supposed to be seven samurai in space but just doesn't really pull it off...

#monsterdon

27. According to wikipedia, this movie "receiv[ed] mixed reviews from critics" This means that someone review it positively

#Monsterdon

Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew
#Monsterdon

@sean Granted this is a marked improvement from earlier

#Monsterdon

OG Battlestar Galactica phaser fire effects #monsterdon

with a knife to my throat I could not tell you what was happening

#monsterdon

This is like a LARP where everyone agrees it'll be faux Star Wars but then insists on building their character around what costume they most want to wear

#Monsterdon
