@Louisa Which is weird because the movie probably should have been a bit shorter.

#monsterdon #critters3

Your toots were entertaining as always, #Monsterdon! Maybe next Sunday I’ll actually watch the movie, too

A cylindrical zoo pod crashes into the basement, and "To Be Continued" flashes on the screen. Then we get normal credits without weird antics.

#monsterdon

Thanks for hosting @Taweret and to all the #monsterdon gang for making this film bearable!

We get more weird credit antics. Weird Forest Guy finds some alien eggs. Weird Forest Guy almost detonates some grenades. Weird Forest Guy finds a laser hologram that is also a message from space, where he has friends. They tell him to not kill all the Critters, he has to save the last two eggs so they don't get extinct. He has to deliver the eggs to a space zoo pod to preserve the species.

#monsterdon

What if the credits were like, 7 or 8 stingers

#Monsterdon

Hey this seems like fun credits time, I'm liking this

#Monsterdon

@flowerpot

I think that was the title of the porn mockbuster version of this

#Monsterdon

Every time a movie puts a character in peril by showing them hanging from a fire escape or flag pole or whatever, and the bolts gradually tear out of the wall until the character falls, I feel like people are being misinformed about how strong those connections actually are. Those bolts _hang on_.

#monsterdon

@Taweret You think it had one to begin with?
#monsterdon

I'm glad the small urban community was saved.

#Monsterdon

And the police/fire might have arrived without calling, and solve things off screen

#monsterdon #critters3

Glad they caught that kid; that's exactly how we got Last Action Hero

#Monsterdon

Is that critter morph-ball power-up-then-charge gag a _Sonic the Hedgehog_ reference..?

#monsterdon

Chekhov’s neglectful dad!

#monsterdon

"Please! Somebody be not useless!"

#Monsterdon

ANOTHER TARZAN YELL? Don't lose me now, movie.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Pay attention to your glowy thing or the critter will get you!

#monsterdon This neighborhood is more big-city than I was expecting.

Critters succeed in reaching the rooftop, eating some bubbles, then stab Joshua with a needle. Grandma dispatches one with a meat cleaver. The daughter fixes the weird forest guy's submachine raygun for him and he blasts one of the creatures.

Outside, Marsha is swinging back and fourth between the phone booth and the air, trying to complete a call to emergency services.

#monsterdon

lol, Marcia's swinging torment...

#MOnsterdon

@apLundell ooooh okay that's who he was calling. okay.

#monsterdon #critt3rs

The rare movie elevator trope when it uncontrollably goes *up*. #Monsterdon #Critt3rs

#Monsterdon 🦔 🦔 🦔 🌃 🏙️ 👦🩸😱!

BINGO 🎉 💞 🎉

god dammit, this guy again
#monsterdon

Also, props to the explanation that the grandpa called the weird forest guy to help.

#monsterdon

@bstacey That's a good question that the scripts editors forgot to ask!

#monsterdon #critters3

@SnoopJ No argument there lol

#Monsterdon #Critters3

How would the Critters take out the phone and internet in a modern remake? eat the local mobile mast? fuck it all up with chaos?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Eh it's a legitimate conversational tactic, you show empathy by relating a similar experience

#Monsterdon #Critters3

#Monsterdon *inflates you, making you big and round*

Practical Lesbian saves the day again!

#Monsterdon

critter hijinks are the best part

#monsterdon

so much of the 80s and 90s was moving around in false ceilings and vents..

Marcia is going to be the 'brave warrior sacrifice', isn't she?

#monsterdon

@Louisa

That is a great question!

#Monsterdon #Critters3

A fire breaks out in the basement, then the humans escape through the ladder. Marsha's plan is to hotwire the phone box to call for help.

Then the critters break into their house and start drinking the dish detergent, eating all the beans and pies and giggling.

#monsterdon

“I can do anything. I work for the phone company.”

#Monsterdon #Critters3

HOT LESBIAN PUNCHED THE CRITTER IN THE FACE

#monsterdon

She needs to recreate the scene in Alien where Dallas is working his way through the shaft and lights the match in the dark and CRITTERS ARE ON ALL SIDES

#Monsterdon #Critters3

JFC. Sam Darnold is 16/16 with 282 yards and 4 touchdowns. At halftime. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

When needed for the plot, they sprout arms and legs?

Dad is tripping balls and maybe horny

#Monsterdon

Why does the vibe shift into badass with the flares? Am I smoothbrained? #Monsterdon

This sequel needs more Easter Bunny deaths

The quill poison makes you forget stuff?

#monsterdon

lol, ALL aliens love Human pop culture...

#Monsterdon

lol, 'Landlords' up there with Cops for baddies to this crowd

#MOnsterdon

Did you forget that Critters can shoot quills?

That’s okay, Critters also forget that they can shoot quills.

#monsterdon

Trump Snr can get eaten next

Practical Lesbian saves the day!

#Monsterdon

"They're big, they're huge, they're like badger-possums..."

"Rosie, calm down, you just saw a big rat!"

Yeah that checks out, the rats around this city are about the size of basketballs and at least roughly as spherical.

#monsterdon

Ok, that cable is a stockings air drying cable. Like a zombie getting tangled in the clothes line

#monsterdon

MONSTER CHOMP NUMERO DEUX

Basement laundry rooms are inherently terrifying, I'm sure we can all agree.

These critter puppets remain as charming as in the first film, to be honest! Practical effects: we have no choice but to stan.

#monsterdon

Critters have a ranged attack...
#Monsterdon

Badgers have been mentioned twice now

#monsterdon #critters3

Annie! Get your gun!

#Monsterdon

time for some

#monsterdon

They spined the bunny shoes!

#Monsterdon #Critters3

Huh, the detergent is useful

#monsterdon #critters3

I do love the Critter puppets

#monsterdon

@Binder Her fuck giving days are over....#monsterdon

Laundry lady goes to the basement to get her laundry, finding some green slime on her bra with she thinks Frank did somehow (false) because he's pervert (true). She yells at him, then she's attacked by multiple mouthy fuzzballs. She spills soap on the floor and then is swarmed. They eat her adorable bunny slippers.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #critt3rs the bunny slippers are a nice touch

"Did you hear screaming before?"

"It's probably just Frank."

Wait.... is Frank screaming not a problem?

#Monsterdon #Critters3

Grandpa doing his own research.

#monsterdon

We learn that the evil voice that Frank was talking to was the mysterious guy in yellow, who is now wearing an Ominous America Colored Sweater. Evil Sweater Man was trying to call Frank to complete the evil scheme, but Frank was eaten so his call goes to the fuzzballs instead, who decline to respond. Evil Sweater Man decides he must do the evil deed himself instead of relying on his incompetent henchman.

#monsterdon

@Taweret yes… weird. My grandparents had one, but it was a single family home. #Monsterdon #CrittersCrittersCritters #Critt3rs

Oh, they Spindash, nice. Not exactly Green Hill Zone, but... #Monsterdon

It'd be great if the Critter did laundry and everyone just let him stick around

Like we all need to find out paths in life

#Monsterdon #Critters3

Ahhhh, so that's how Leo comes back into the story....

#MOnsterdon

#monsterdon

What is eating him? THank you, movie..

*bonk*

#monsterdon #critters3

@diazona
#Monsterdon world!

@JoeWynne in the real world or in #Monsterdon world?

lol, the TV was the thing keeping him sane...

#Monsterdon

He'd be better off if he weren't holding the critter to his own neck like that

#protip

#Monsterdon

yessssssssssssssssssss

#monsterdon

In the miscellaneous hijinks department, an unknown woman is throwing her laundry through a laundry chute. In the laundry dungeon Frank picks up and admires her large bra like a weirdo.

Then he hears something rattling near the dryer, and a fuzzball with a mouth jumps out and starts eating his neck until he stabs it with a screwdriver.

The fuzzball retreats, but it is only a tactical retreat and the fuzzball returns (with a reinforcement fuzzball) to finish eating his neck.

Not much trivia for tonight' feature, but Monsterdon covers the world.

A recent update from Chernobyl shows that local dogs have exhibited unusually quick mutations. What do mutated dogs do next?

#Monsterdon

So... the premise here is Frank is actually releasing the rats to drive out tennants?

What the heck hat is this? Is he headed off to a civil war reenactment?
#monsterdon

Dad can't deal with reality, he's eatin' his pasta....

#Monsterdon

Haha this greasy little weirdo has the richest backstory of any character so far. #Monsterdon

Whoa it's been a minute since I've seen a movie with Frances Bay in it

#Monsterdon

I have found *one* good thing about this movie: it is only 85 minutes long.
#Monsterdon

Grover's Bend is now in Arizona

#monsterdon #critters3

#Monsterdon 🦔 🦔 🦔 🌃 🏙️ 👦🩸😱!

20 minutes in and I have absolutely no stake in anyone or anything in this movie

This is a lot of set up. #Monsterdon

We get some new characters as we visit Bulk and Skulk in an apartment block; I think they're doing a crime while Skulk pretends to be handyman, but maybe he's actually a handyman.

He is carrying a fishbowl outside the flat, when a butch lesbian appears on her motorcycle. Her name is Marsha, Skulk makes a pass at her then she jokes that he has a small penis she we need a microscope to see, which was a sick burn in 1991. Then Bulk walks outside carrying a mattress for reasons.

#monsterdon

So when is Frank gonna fight Dick Tracy

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ literally what is this character and scene #monsterdon

I recognize the handyman. 90's lifer. Don't recall seeing him recently. #monsterdon

@SnoopJ yes but I hope the fish is spared

#Monsterdon #Critters3

"Dad! There was this really strange guy—"

"I REALLY DON'T CARE."
