Playboy escaped back to its natural habitat.

#Monsterdon we will never really care about many of these characters. They’re pretty much just critter chow anyways. Harv is back, drunk and belligerent. His usual M.O.

After Critters 2 the Mayor fucked off all the way to Alaska, and really, can you blame him?

#monsterdon #Critters2

@jmjm Hey, he was in WarGames, right? #monsterdon

The biology is wrong! Humans have comparatively small guts vs true herbivores. (AIUI, some of this is because we've had cooking for something like a few million years)

#monsterdon #critters2

#monsterdon It's an Easter movie?

We should have waited.

@brooke the 80s #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I think we found the laxative abuser. And the writers poorly disguised fetish.

Is that the evil lawyer from Angel? #Monsterdon

@Lazarou All couples in Grovers Bend are looking for an old barn to have sex in.

#monsterdon

Massive amount of gaslighting over the traumatic event the town experienced...that I can believe

#Monsterdon

Good agility, but that's a 😬 parking job

#monsterdon #critters2

Chekhov's Easter Egg Hunt

#monsterdon

Meisterbrau? this dude's favorite
#Monsterdon

That's a lot more eggs than we saw at the end of the last one. #Monsterdon #Critters2

wait, the GLORIOUS REASSEMBLING HOUSE is for sale?! #monsterdon

Wow, Red Green really went downhill.

#monsterdon

Unidentified flying UFOs. They come out of the Automated Teller ATM machine. #Monsterdon

I thought Grover's Bend was famous for a guy named Grover who got a real bad case of the bends.

#Monsterdon

Are those two looking for a barn to have sex in?

#Monsterdon

I don't know a lot about guns,. much less massive space guns. But generally speaking, I think pointing the business end at your face is a bad idea. #monsterdon

A pink bulgy alien who sounds like Jordan Petersen

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi They just couldn't resist keeping these sweet, sweet human forms.

#monsterdon #critters2

I don't remember these guys being so stoogey #monsterdon

I'm surprised that they got these actors to return.

#monsterdon #critters2

I thought these guys were shape-shifters. They just lazy? #monsterdon #critters2

Critters 2 opens on Dagobah, with Boba Fett. #monsterdon

They went hard on this score, and it shows. #Monsterdon #critters2

Darth Vaporizer #monsterdon

my cat did NOT like that screech just now, she thought it was a cat screeching

#monsterdon

The violins are like "critterscrittersCRITTERSCRITTERSCRITTERScritterscritters" #Monsterdon

Straight to the opening credits. It's a movie that means business.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, they ate the title!

#monsterdon #critters2

#Monsterdon eerie music! We’ve decided to start with the #SuddenStringSection! Yay!

Agent: the studio called. They’re doing a sequel to “Critters” and they want YOU to play a lead role!

Actor: Ugh

Agent: You already know the character!? You’re a fan of the film? I can’t wait to tell the studio!

<hangs up>

Actor: wait, what!?
#monsterdon

The grandma character in Critters 2 made vegetarians look bad. I would never foist food people didn't like at them or give them a bait and switch. in this essay i will,
#Monsterdon

@Taweret why is that so funny?! #iDontMakeTheRules #Monsterdon

@Lazarou yes please

#Monsterdon

That really was a better movie than the first one, the first one had so much perfunctory sibling bickering and it felt like we saw the family get ambushed in their house by critters over and over

This one flew by: minimal family stuff with some stakes for the danger, critterball, an instantly picked clean skeleton, all great

#Monsterdon

@allanb @moira @Taweret #Monsterdon

@Taweret oh do not misunderstand this was great

but i know from others that it craters after 2, that's all

#monsterdon #Critters2

@Copperplate Yeah but shrimp are clearly not succeeding 😛

(have we done a shrimp movie? I'd like to do a shrimp movie)

#Monsterdon

the easter bunny scene was epic tho

#Monsterdon

Wikipedia says "The storyline for the first two films involves alien bounty hunters who hunt the Krites in a small American town. The setting for the third movie is a city, and the fourth film takes place on a space station."

I am intrigued

#Monsterdon

And now I’m gonna go rewatch Flow to remind myself that good movies do actually exist #Monsterdon

Next time I go out to a burger restaurant I'm tempted to order a cheeseburger with no bones

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I kind of wonder what would happen if The Blob met with the Crites? Talk about predatory potpourri. ;)

@JoeWynne On the good ones, absolutely. Tonight? for sure. As much as I wasn't looking forward to the sequel, it was actually one of the more fun ones. It was simple, uncomplicated plot. Just a handful of confrontations.

Not trying to be 3 films at once like Yeti (beauty and the beast, king kong, godzilla) #monsterdon

And the one remaining bounty hunter fucked off into space. I'll say this about these movies: They actually have an ending, which we don't often get! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting and goodnight y'all!

#monsterdon #critters2

@JoeWynne You mean queasy and off balance? Mhmm. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting, and thanks @Cherizilla for the element of competition. And now it's time for bed, as I'm feelin' like this guy:

@himbovoorhees A lot of the really old films are available on the Internet Archive. I often wonder if they notice. Like, here's some 1960's sci-fi that has like 40 downloads in the last 10 years. And then suddenly 100 people download it in the same week.... #monsterdon

@allanb You ain’t special. #Monsterdon

@moira @brooke I completely agree, too. At the beginning of the movie, he already established, that he didn't want to be left behind on Earth. This is a huge downgrade for him.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon : because there's no bones in cheeseburgers.

@diazona @Taweret _Good_ Cheeseburgers have no bones.

#monsterdon #Critters2

@Newpa_Hasai Very unlike other #Monsterdon films.

@CactuarJoe To be fair we look at @Taweret like this atleast once a month after a #Monsterdon

Moooo

#Monsterdon

I wonder why we had to put with things like "Predator vs Alien" and not a "Gremlins vs Critters vs Trolls showdown"
#monsterdon

Ug. Lee. I get it. #Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

The Hungry Heifer song takes us out! Mmmmm

Thank you @Taweret for hosting another furry farce!

and thanks @Cherizilla (still the best Cheri) for the Bingo card! I got a Bingo! Best = 'Gross but Amusing'

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Tonight's tootstream really inflated the boobs of this event!

🚨 Reminder: There is Monsterdon Gear here!:
https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/monsterdon-doodles-color

Hoodies, pillows, shirts, more, all kinds of colors and fabrics!

Once you spend about 3 hours of your life on Critters 1 and 2, there is a certain logic to just going ahead and spending another evening on Critters 3.

#Critters2

When I pass, the greatest thing you can do to remember me is shapeshift into a clone of me and start using my name instead of your own #Monsterdon

@Taweret #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #monsterdonbingo

Is he going to...kiss...himself??

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Checkmate. You got me there. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm sure I've seen this town commons in other films. I can't name one, but it looks super familiar to me.

#monsterdon well that was a fun look at what Hollywood thought the Midwest was like. Mountains and all.

I've seen both worse, "worse", better, and "better" #Monsterdon films. Solidly middle-of-the-road.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for the bingo, @ryan for the stream, and none of you for faving my post about the golden wheel spider. I'm going to bed

aright, that concludes Critters 2! in which we saw a transformation of the franchise via PRODUCTION VALUES. not sold on the rest of it, though.

In summary: https://tacobelllabs.net/@arrjay/114215018989160570

#monsterdon

There’s a fair bit of silly in the credits. #monsterdon

Critters 2: The Main Course (1988) 📺 🫣❣️

#monsterdon #critters2

#monsterdon gotta love a critter ball…

mooooooooo

And that's it, #monsterdon fans!

Thanks everyone for coming, @Taweret for organising, @Cherizilla for the bingo, and every one for participating!

Who's up for a burger? Let's go! Oh, wait...

No Grover's Bend, this was in Santa Clarita, CA #monsterdon

The Hungry Heifer theme was worth watching this whole movie. #Monsterdon

Why did he leave Charlie #monsterdon

Redemption for Charlie!
#Monsterdon

Y’all, that was practically a Dies Irae quote when the Critterball emerged! #MusicNerd #Monsterdon

It was a documentary the whole time. #monsterdon

Everything immediately back to normal.

#monsterdon

And Charlie doesn't get to be a space bounty hunter but it's OK because now he's...the outgoing former sheriff's choice for sheriff, which they still ahve to vote on?

Wait, Grover's Bend is a real fucking place?

I'm so confused

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Sheriffs in this town aren’t elected. They are selected. LOL. Both. Neither. It’s a movie.

oh no charlie's a cop now #monsterdon

and so Ugg fucked off into space i guess and abandoned charlie even tho he promised he wouldn't

ty for joining, everyone!!

#Monsterdon

Is that how you make sheriffs? You just toss your badge to someone?

#Monsterdon

The bus driver really needs to know, so he can exposition the next white kid that rides into town. #Monsterdon

"We're here to tell you about how you could be overpaying for your spaceship insurance policy"

#monsterdon

wait so did they just kick charlie out of being a bounty hunter? and ug took his place? was that an identity theft just then or what the hell? #monsterdon

Brad heading to the Big City to earn his living as a crackpot #monsterdon

the law of unintended consequences
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon They took the wrong Charlie.

And the spaceship's back too? #monsterdon

so ug has finally settled on a persona that feels right and it just so happens to be the only other person that ug spends all their time with. that's maybe the most socially anxiogenic choice you could have made #monsterdon

I expected nothing different from a movie whose predecessor ended with a magic button that reconstructs the blown up house

#monsterdon

And Lee is alive too! Right?
#Monsterdon

Wow this episode of Severance is weird #monsterdon #critters2
