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

#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

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.

@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

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.

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

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.

#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

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

RIP Charlie, never learned the difference between bounty hunter and kamikaze #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👾 👾 👽 👽 🚀 🚀🍽️ 🍽️😱 😱

Charlie should kiss Charlie!

Why does Ug look like a better Charlie than Charlie? #Monsterdon

charlie ugh twinning fan fic

#monsterdon

Wouldn't it be better, plot-wise, if Lee survived and took Charlie's form as a tribute to his heroism

#Monsterdon

Anyway, where's Lee? #Monsterdon

Mom: "Here comes the Cybertrucks again."

#monsterdon #critters2

@YsengrinWolf How can you say that after beholding Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century ? #monsterdon

is... Charlie gonna kiss himself??? #monsterdon

That Charlie is slightly less weird, no that one.

#Monsterdon

NOW KISS HIM

#monsterdon #Critters2

Now Charlie kiss Ugh and let's haul some ass

#monsterdon

Best #Monsterdon love story ever.

#Monsterdon charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, who cares about kissing girls, go hug your childhood friend. #monsterdon

@jonny Could be or it could be a nice tribute, I think it's impossible to tell without knowing how the people involved feel about it

#Monsterdon

immediately taking on the form of and insisting being known as the deceased friend is sort of an insensitive move on ug's part tbh #monsterdon

An actual emotional moment in #Monsterdon , well done Charlie

Wait so Charlie died but it's okay because Ug took over his appearance and identity?

#Monsterdon

eat it if you get hungry

use it against the bus tyre if the parking brake fails

#monsterdon #Critters2

It is kinda sweet that Ug is taking on Charlie's identity out of respect for Charlie.

#Monsterdon

As long as someone looks like your close friend, it’s just like they never actually died.

#Monsterdon #Critters2TheMainCourse

"Charlie will always be with us, via Ugg" #monsterdon

This is the only film where the line "Brad, look at Ugh" occurs in that order. #monsterdon

goo ol' charlie sewersided

In rememberance, I will wear his meat face

#monsterdon

Did the spaceship not have weapons? Also is shapeshifting guy now stranded?

#monsterdon #critters2

Bounty Hunter: Damn, my spaceship, I'm not finished making payments on that yet.

#monsterdon

UFO going all 9/11 on the big bad. Sure. #monsterdon

Critters 2 is one of the rare sequels that surpasses its predecessor

#Monsterdon

That was my spaceship, you human jerk! #Monsterdon

The power of collectivism! #monsterdon

Apparently they didn't trust Charlie with the keys to the ship's guns.

#monsterdon #critters2

#Monsterdon chaaarrlieeeeeeee

So, Charlie didn't know how to use the weapons systems on their space craft. His whole goal was just to suicide bomb the Crite?

#Monsterdon

holy shit charlie

#monsterdon #Critters2
