@moira ooh, good call

#Monsterdon

Wait, Alien didn't have a sullen teen. I take it all back.

#monsterdon

We actually have a few really good actors in here. Stuck in an ALIEN remake on a budget.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

this feels like space beverly hills 90210 guest starring brad dourif

#Monsterdon

"Pull out when I say and not before."

#Monsterdon #Critters4

"Captain! we found Spock's life pod!"

#Monsterdon

Billy Bibbit seems crankypated

#monsterdon
#critters4

"kilos" are a measure of distance now I guess

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Did they seriously decide to wedge a Growing Up story in here too
#monsterdon

I think I could be a script writer.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

i feel like the set director saw like... one episode of early Red Dwarf

#monsterdon #Critters4

“He’s gotten stiff in the jock,” is the polite way to say, “He’s got an erection.” I think.

#Monsterdon

"I can't swallow that!"
"Good news! It's a suppository!"

#monsterdon #Critters4

#Monsterdon 👾 👾 👾 👾 ☠️ 😱

oh no mouth-open gum chewing WITH sound is not gonna be OK I might become murderously enraged #misophonia

Dourif's hair got it's own trailer #monsterdon

Those magnetic space anomalies are common hazards to reproductive health

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@MichaelKlamerus Did you read the tie-in comic series? It explains why there is suddenly an established, space-faring salvage industry.

#Monsterdon

Brad Dourif never lived down missing the opportunity to be in Leprechaun 4: In Space.

And so we have this crap instead.

#monsterdon #critters4

Can we do this with less discussion of the greasy captain's crotch :/ #Monsterdon

Chekhov's cowboy fetish.

#monsterdon

The Amazing Space Teenager's Bedroom

#Monsterdon

"He's got stiff in the jock." What a turn of a phrase.

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@Taweret I know who I hope gets it first
#monsterdon  

@Taweret I'm thrilled he's in this. Instantly worth it! (Probably!) haha

#Monsterdon

Number 1
Yes

#monsterdon
#critters4

Lol that's Brad Dourif, aka Piter Devris

#monsterdon #Critters4

The Nostromo here features Western music on-deck
#monsterdon

There must be no French in the future because no one thinks it’s a suppository.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #critters4

I'll say one thing for these movies. They could uncover future stars.

Leonardo DiCaprio *and* Angela Bassett? Critters: Your casting team punched above their weight.

#monsterdon

@kshernandez

She told us not to tell anyone!!

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Brad Dourif must have it in all of his contracts that he can only be lit from below. #Monsterdon #Critters4

DOURIF #monsterdon

"I can't tell you what's inside"
The end of your acting career.

#Monsterdon

Ah the 90s when every horror series got an entry that was ... IN SPACE
This one is the rare one where it makes alot of sense, unlike Leprechaun and Friday the 13th.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

“Make it so,” says the captain in the most noncommittal way.

#Monsterdon

So wait, humanity is now a newly interstellar species setting up a colony and the Galactic Council hasn't seen fit to contact them yet? Rude. #monsterdon #Critters4

the only name I know here is Angela Bassett so everyone else is played by Not Angela Bassett

#monsterdon #Critters4

"Make it so" You keep Picard out of your mouth, Captain Low Budget -_- #Monsterdon

Dourif chewing gum cause he’s sassy.

#Monsterdon

what really happened to Leo Johnson #Monsterdon

It won't scan. But will it blend?

#monsterdon #Critters4

@CactuarJoe If the cancer doesn't get you, the explosive decompression will.

#Monsterdon

Sell pod for scrap, credits roll 5 minutes later as the crew drinks their beer

#Monsterdon

It is the year 3739. We have conquered the stars, solved the problem of entropy, and mastered the laws of physics.

And men are still playing with their balls.
#Monsterdon

It's a garbage pod. A SMEGGING GARBAGE POD! #Monsterdon #Critters4

Oh my god Brad dourif and also captain radu from subspecies #monsterdon

Beer money. The prime concern of any space raider.

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Wait one minute!! Angela Basset!!! #Monsterdon #Critters4 🍿

Wait, so the intergalactic enforcers just sent the pod out into space without a direct retrieval plan??

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#critters4

#monsterdon #Critters4

@kshernandez lol you could always write it in the free space

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@rebeld @raederle i think maybe the deal is that they are sort of like an invasive species whose natural behavior is to just kill everything in sight, so they aren't trying to make them go extinct but just keep them in special critters nature preserves? i don't really remember. but the critters are so cute as far as a movie goes you can't just like bloodbath them #monsterdon

Ethan wears cowboy boots on a space ship?

#Monsterdon

Dang brad, nice hair

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👾 👾 👾 👾 ☠️ 😱

#Monsterdon

This kid looks like a Temu Zachary Ty Bryan. #monsterdon

I love when things fall down on a space ship. #monsterdon

He should be watching the tribbles episode of Star Trek, in the tradition of people in movies watching a relevant TOS episode.

#monsterdon #Critters4

You can't smoke in a starship, dickass, you're wasting oxygen :/ #Monsterdon

Earbuds with wires? How future!

#monsterdon #Critters4

@diazona That's not on my #MOnsterdonbingo card. #Monsterdon #Critters4 🍿

#Monsterdon 👾 👾 👾 👾 ☠️ 😱

Oh hey he got a bingo.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

JUGGLING IN SPAAAAAAACE

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Not now, Captain, I have exposition to deliver.

#Monsterdon

If this is the "these are my worlds" guy from that episode of TNG with the mudbath, I'm going to bed.

#monsterdon #critters4

I think we need one more round of intro credits, just to remind us that the movie has, in fact, started.

#Monsterdon

...and he was only one week away from retirement!

💸 Low Budget Film School 🦔🥚

Not only footage, but many sets are reused from Android (1982).

Android happens to be one of Don Keith Opper's ("Charlie McFadden") earlier films.

#Critters4

#Monsterdon So far effects much better than they had to be

#monsterdon
#critters4

In his underwear. Playin' with his balls. Typical teen. #Monsterdon #Critters4

@diazona It's right at the end of the Kessel run. Not even 1 parsec away.
#monsterdon

What the hell are you doing? Only Jareth the goblin king can fuck around with balls in a movie

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon For those just catching up with us, Charlie backstory:

- Drunkard "could have made the big leagues" who ruined his pitching hand
- Assisted and kind of glommed on to Ug and Lee, two interstellar bounty hunters at the end of the first film.
- helped with the mess in the 2nd film until Lee was killed and I think that's when he and Ug parted ways
- minor role in 3rd film but appeared to have become competent as a "crite" hunter
- Is the spiritual center of the Critters movies.

Definitely got those synths going!

#Monsterdon

@apLundell what, you don't remember Ugg and Lee from the first movie

#monsterdon

Peter Manning Robinson channeling his Vangelis with a Casio keyboard. Nice though. #monsterdon

Just gonna go ahead and check this off now because... you know. #Monsterdon #Critters4 🍿

Saturn has quadrants now? Back in my day there was one saturn and it didn't need quadrants.

And thats how we liked it.
#monsterdon

@Louisa Same year as Ready Player One!

@apLundell Just one g (Ug) per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critters_4 #Monsterdon #Critters4

@CactuarJoe Charlie 4: Charlie in Space

#Monsterdon

OK so far this soundtrack is too not-bad for the rest of the movie

#Monsterdon #Critters4

This intro credits font is close enough to Comic Sans to make me go "eh," but also far enough from the OTHER font used in the EARLIER intro credits to make me go, "eeeeh????"

#Monsterdon

Title credit music ripped off from Tangerine Dream.

#monsterdon #Critters4

The title plus number collision was a cheesy laugh #Monsterdon

If my posting is slow, it may be due to my having a giant plate of nachos

#Monsterdon

Okay but I think Charlie is kind of fun

#monsterdon #Critters4

#monsterdon #critters4

Carry on my Wayward Son. There'll be peace when you are done..

Opperharvey didn't do much in physics but did have some success running a comic book company
