There's only one reason someone would want "a strange arm" sickos! #MonsterDon

Space cowboy from the planet Earth!

#monsterdon

no not nell! monsterdons bloodthirsty soulmate!
#Monsterdon

Everyone knows the score - it's evil laugh time and no one gets to sit it out.

#Monsterdon

This #Monsterdon better end soon we're running out of good guys and are completely out of plot

“Give Sador a harrumph!” #monsterdon

I love that his second in command clone just keeps looking at him like " sir you're an idiot. What the hell"

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

MANIACAL LAUGHTER!!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ ⭐ 🥊🥊 😱

OH NO BAD GUYS LAUGHING UPROARIOUSLY

I admire the careful cinematography tricks to avoid showing Saldor's right side and what must necessarily be a missing arm that doesn't hold up.

#Monsterdon

he may be a shitty man to work for but at least he's all jolly when they win

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

Akir is mine! Everyone hoot and holler like seals!!

#Monsterdon

Noooooooo the sexy ship's AI is damaged 😭 😭 😭

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

What is the first law of the what.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, the computer has amnesia!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow, #JamesCameron really went all out with these starship models!
#BattleBeyondTheStars

[booping continues] #monsterdon

SHUT.UP.WESLEY #monsterdon #battlebeyondthestars

There’s a symmetry here, with every character leading with their backstory and motivation, and then the main character summarizing their motivations again at their death.

I mean, it’s not good. But it is symmetrical. #monsterdon

the first law of Varda is thou shalt not talk about Varda. #monsterdon

What the movie is trying for: And now The Boy Has Become A Man

What it's actually hitting: Whiny boy is about to be very stupid. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nell, shut up about the Varda.

"full thrust" heh

#Monsterdon

so, that's it for the lizard people then? #monsterdon

This man is an ATTACK HORN! #monsterdon

are you sure you can handle full thrust, john boy?

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

The harmonica is good when used in counterpoint to other instruments. On it's own it's a bit meh?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Unlike any other Earth ship, the cowboys ship just gleefully and slowly just burns. Doesn't explode, nothing dramatic, just a slow campfire inside the ship.

See you Space Cowboy… #monsterdon

I love when all of #Monsterdon notices something at the same time, like the Valkyrie's questionable anatomy.

#BattleBeyondTheStars

I wonder how much of "Space Cowboy" being drunk was "acting" #Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

somewhat more jet energy than spike energy
#Monsterdon

If the cowboy is going that fast the continent he crashes into won't survive, let alone him, yet.....

#monsterdon

I feel there's a whole category of Engineers Who Build Hand Controls That Make Sense For Piloting Aircraft out in the world, who watch movies like this and just point and scream the whole time

#Monsterdon

@apLundell @Taweret thus my quip about exploding herself with a magnifying glass

#monsterdon

porn valkyrie's battle cry is just her screaming at the top of her lungs like she's a toddler in a ballpit #monsterdon

ugh die already

#monsterdon

@north already on it! #monsterdon

Wait, The space amazon girl set her ship to collide with the bad guy's super weapon. Ok. That's a noble sacrifice.

But then she ejected right before impact. Ok, that makes sense too.

But then she exploded anyway?

#monsterdon

"Space cowboy from the planet Earth"

That sounds like a line from Futurama

#Monsterdon

admirers of the pew pew noises in this movie might be interested in the hashtag #pewvember

#monsterdon

I'm not watching, but I've seen #battlebeyondthestars many times.
It's a guilty pleasure. Especially the Valkyrie.
#monsterdon

I wanna find out how wild this 'Lambda Zone' is, I feel like we only scratched the surface

#monsterdon

Rest in peace you fabulous space slut. You had a beautiful ending. :blobcry: #Monsterdon

sorry I can't watch #monsterdon with y'all. I've seen this one a bunch, since I was a kid. love it in all its weird sci-fi star wars-stealing camp.

hope y'all have been loving it.

I just want everyone to look at space boob's costume and realize that someone had to SEW THAT. People who have never tried to sew a garment before don't appreciate the work it takes to coax fabric to curve around a shape, and BEHOLD HOW MANY CURVES ARE SHAPED UPON.

That costume team is bad ass.

#Monsterdon

The Valkyrie shriek!

#monsterdon

"Retreat behind the sun!"

All units, don't turn in front of the camera or they'll be able to tell your arm is just tucked into your vest! #Monsterdon

does valkyrie have some sort of want? is she a magical girl!? no wonder she's changed outfits. (good for her!) #monsterdon

Why did she blow herself up?

#Monsterdon

Wait what just exploded

I don't even know anymore

#Monsterdon

i appreciate that that the force field control is one of those plasma bulb thingies that radioshack always had sitting out in the early 90s

#monsterdon

Apparently this ship is fly by plasma ball

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

If only overconfidence were on the Bingo card

#Monsterdon

The space battles aren’t really compelling, but I do have to say both that the model work is quite good for the budget, and the sheer variety of ships and ship controls is fun. #monsterdon

I wish more things were controlled via plasma ball

#monsterdon

*pew pew* intensifies

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon in the words of my generation, up yours!

Begin Death Star Ignition Sequence #monsterdon

Does... Does the Valkyrie's spaceship shoot lasers that sound like mouth harps?????

#monsterdon

SPACE SPEAR! Hell of a way to die in a scifi movie. Spit roasted with the guy behind you.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

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

#monsterdon

Dr. Strangelove's arm does a cameo #monsterdon

tchew tch-tch-tchew
#Monsterdon

Witness the powah of this fully operational stellar converter!

#BattleBeyondTheStars #Monsterdon

I can't believe @jonny is missing this

#monsterdon

We lost the jellyfish! #monsterdon

Has anyone else noticed that the Valkyrie just doesn't seem to have nipples? I assume they used something to cover them in her costumes but in-story they should definitely be visible in these costumes.

#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

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

#monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars

kabluey

goodbye nestor

#monsterdon

How many times are we gonna GET this explosion? #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
