#Monsterdon π¦ π¦ π¦ π ποΈ π¦π©Έπ±!
thanks to @Taweret and @cherizilla and @JoeWynne and all you great #Monsterdonians who make it fun!
"There is much to criticize in this movie, but the critters can spin dash now, and that's something we can all be proud of." #monsterdon
wow that was homoerotic #Monsterdon #FrightNight2
"What it looks like"? Tell us, Chad, what does it look like? #Monsterdon #FrightNight2
Dollar store melted action figure of the narrator guy from Rocky Horror #monsterdon #frightnight2
both films tonight are inextricably bound by having characters named charlie and also lazlo hollyfeld
Thank you to everyone using the warning tag for #monsterdon tonight.
i hope nothing super important has happened yet besides a white guy stalker #Monsterdon #FrightNight2
@strangefour @lytta I think they might have realized halfway through they couldn't pull the concept off #monsterdon
Ok I'm late but here for the #Monsterdon #FrightNight2 double feature
@CardboardRobot @astroPug To be fair it's unclear if you could follow the plot to Critters 2 either way
But it probably helps a bit to go in order
I mean, he's in college, you know, crazy things happen...
@strangefour @lytta It even made The Monolith Monsters seem good by comparison #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial @lytta OMG That's the one I convinced myself to forget! Magnetic Monster was so so dull.
#Monsterdon
@strangefour @CactuarJoe @lytta @SRLevine wdyt @Taweret a 'nomination' thread to put movies on the list, then take the top 32 by vibes and put in a bracket and do head to heads. the worst #monsterdon movie is like a well-researched razzie
@lytta The Magnetic Monster was pretty dull #monsterdon
fam you should have your dorm room ready at all times to welcome strange vampires.
@strangefour @CactuarJoe @lytta @SRLevine CAN WE DO a poll tournament for "least favorite" monsterdons, in the sense that i love all of them, and how 'goodness' isn't even on the scale.. i want to see what the inverse scale looks like. what 'badness' looks like to #monsterdon
Oh fuck just realized Iβm missing #monsterdon again!
@aburka lol barely
I posted my review on #letterboxd bemoaning how lackluster this second sequel felt even given the subpar original. Two stars out of five https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/critters-3/ #monsterdon
geez. boyfriend just dropped her off like 5 blocks away lel
anyway
good job as always team, another movie successfully launched into space
along with one of its main characters
we hope
and thank you as always to @Taweret for hosting
this has been a filmways presentation
@diazona @CactuarJoe @SRLevine whichever one the least stuff happened in, probably
@lytta @CactuarJoe @SRLevine Exactly. Boring is worse than bad.
Bad is more fun for a group watch for one.
#Monsterdon
@Zerofactorial @Taweret we don't talk about Critters 4 m'Kay? π #Monsterdon
@lytta @CactuarJoe @SRLevine Was there really only one 50's space movie where nothing happened though
@RobynGoodfellow @lytta @SRLevine It's the cringe that does it for me, between the vintage racism and the greasy What Is This Thing You Call Love? subplot, it's just.... Bleugh. #Monsterdon
@strangefour @CactuarJoe @SRLevine i feel like i've forgotten the worst ones because they were so nothing. case in point: totally forgot about aztec mummy sequel
@CactuarJoe @lytta @SRLevine Terrible film but a legendarily fun #monsterdon watch. Easily one of my favorites. I agree about Invasion of the Star Creatures. Just the worst. Total cringe in a way that wasn't fun at all.
@CactuarJoe @lytta @SRLevine I think I missed out on the very worst ones. That Aztec Mummy sequel where nothing happens. Invasion of the Star Creatures.
God Monster was BAD, but in an interesting way. It was trying things and failing. Ambitious but rubbish.
Then again I've probably blotted from my mind the worst thing I saw for Monsterdon.
#Monsterdon
@lytta @SRLevine Yeah, Godmonster was painful, but it was too much of a #Monsterdon Manos to be TRULY the worst. Like, that flipped over into horrifically amazing.
#Monsterdon Ok, I've got to detox with some murder with Elementary.
And thus concludes #Monsterdon for this week.
The timeline may resume.
@forestine @Taweret There are still beancounters in Hollywood so don't get complacent #monsterdon
The producers of this movie looked at the franchise sequel potential and said, "The power of Christ compels us!" and then a stalk delivered Critters4 in them on a VHS tape.
@CactuarJoe @lytta God Monster of Indian Flats (well I have a softspot for it as one of the the the first real monsterdon's I did)
The credits sequence is as dumb as the rest of this film #monsterdon
@paco don't fight it, you want to see the Galactic Council, I'm sure they have the budget for it in episode four....
@whiskeysailor
There are actually more of these..? π¬
homeless man living in the dumpster is suddenly qualified to fight vampires.
@lytta Yeah, Invasion of the Star Creatures still takes that title as far as I'm concerned. #Monsterdon
@sean I note the lack of any similar notice about humans
"3 years of therapy? I'm feeling Poor...."
awright we talking Fright Night 2 on the #monsterdon #DoubleFeature #WrongCritters on https://miru.miyaku.media/
Tubi, I was watching that! #Monsterdon #critters3
Oh to, to be continued? How will I ever manage without immediately watching Critt4rs?
I'm just kiddin', I don't care!
That was a lot of fun, though, guys. It was definitely worse than Critters 2, but somehow a lot more fun to watch. I legitimately LOLed a couple times π
See y'all next week! Vote for Alligator!
Good night!
@Taweret Where does Critters 4 fit in this framework? #monsterdon
well that sure was a movie.
Even the fart jokes felt tacked on!
The real monster in this movie was the script. So many missed comedy beats. So few creature-effect puppeteering scenes. #Monsterdon #Critt3rs
@Taweret Great. Now I want a reboot with an old overweight Crite petting a tiny cat. The Critefather
#Monsterdon
The end...?
Thanks @ryan and @Taweret ! And all of you #Monsterdon folk!
Wealthy replacement spouse, how convenient #monsterdon
And Charlie the Critter Hunter saves the day!
And the firefighters put out the fire!
And Leonardo DiCaprio goes on his first of what will become many, many dates with many, many teenaged young ladies!
THE END
but...but wait! It's the credits but there is still movie going on! And actual plot and stuff! WTF? Is this a real movie or a TV pilot? Save it for the next one y'all!
Anyways, even though this #Monsterdon coulda used far more critters doing far more of their critter shenanigans it was still fun to see them again! Thanks oncecagain for hosting us yahoos @Taweret !
@Taweret you know Crites are like Pringles, you can't have just one.
@Taweret Thanks for hosting as always! Seems like I should have checked out 1 and 2 first, based on everyone's comments. #Monsterdon
That was surprisingly federation-like of the galactic council.
Critters are an endangered species now.
Gotta save those eggs! Iβm not even mad, it makes sense to me.
And remember friends, don't feed your critters after midnight! #monsterdon
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
β€οΈ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this chompy chaos!
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! Always better than it has to be!! Leonardo stamp was chef's kiss!!!
π¦And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew. Your commentary was the only thing that made this movie palatable.
Well Wrong Frogs can only be an improvement now. It's time for Fight Night 2! Which I have never seen. Or even knew existed.
#Monsterdon #Critters3
@xerozohar and I think we could have skipped the rest of it
What? You're still here? Did you get glued in by green slime crite blood? #Monsterdon #Critt3rs
pause tension is doing a lot of storytelling in these credits
We saved our daylight for this!? Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants. #Monsterdon #Critters3
Stinger: the Critters aren't dead (I guess they didn't lose enough money on this movie).
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!
@RobynGoodfellow omg yes seriously
@Taweret Thank you for hosting!
#Monsterdon
@kcarr2015 nice! π
Agh, get these kids off my screen #monsterdon
See, now we have to watch the 4th one!!
Stop throwing rotten fruit at me!!!!
#monsterdon
This movie was an insult to my intelligence and I didn't even think that about the last two
Which is saying smth
@RobynGoodfellow YES, ACTUALLY
And we finish off with a setup for another sequel. Who wants #critters4?!
no seriously who asked for this?
#Monsterdon #Critters3
okay, well that was a hard cut, so I guess
Our Long Critters 3 is Finally Over.
how did you *do* that with a 84 minute movie? I have no idea.
This should have been the beginning of the movie. #Monsterdon #Critters3
IT'S UG!!!!! [crowd goes wild]
marvel-ass post-credits sequel setup #Monsterdon
Crites are an endangered species!
#Monsterdon #Critters3
oh wow is there a critters 4?
#monsterdon
That bounty hunter dude! Hello, my guy!
#Monsterdon #critt3rs wow they are stretching out this during-credit post-scene with charlie
#Monsterdon Tubi autoplay ruining my credits movie sequence
@trixter I hope that's all it is. But everything else in this movie is a mess.
#Monsterdon #Critters3
What the hell, man, just let it play, quit interruptingβ¦
I stand corrected #monsterdon
You know, Plex has a Skip Credits button right there so don't tempt me, movie #Monsterdon
Because they filmed 3 & 4 back-to-back, so trying to get people to come back for 4
You should have your movie inside of your movie.
No, Tubi, I will not be proceeding on to Critters 4. I need to detox. #Monsterdon #Critt3rs
they had no plan for how to get this to feature length and this is the result
this is a setup for a sequel SO LATE in the movie it's in the credits!
