ANGELA BASSETT IS IN THIS???

#Critters4

@Taweret @klu9 Happy Birthday O Grand Master of Ceremonies!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

We got New Line sign!

#monsterdon #critters4

Thanks @miru for the stream!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

Ah yes the TWIRL navigation button

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi except the exterior 3D renders which were more like 10 frames per second

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@CardboardRobot that really, really came across in the movie. In a bad way.

#Monsterdon

to be "Roger Corman-like" raises alarms
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

@trixter @Taweret I think with talent, and effort, and a budget they could have managed two of those three options. But no....
#Monsterdon

Don't show your kids Critters 4. Not because it's too scary... because there are sooooo many better films

#monsterdon #spacemadnessthemakingofcritters4 #monsterdondoublefeature #monstermiru #miru

WILL YOU PEOPLE FINALLY STOP VOTING FOR CRITTERS?

(j/k it was OK as a #monsterdon )

The odds of being discovered in space in 53 years is astronomically low. #Monsterdon #Critters4

Unfortunately a lot of the Crite actors were in and out of rehab at this point, hence barely being in the film

It got darker for them after that....

#Monsterdon

I think Angela got more time in the film than the critters did.

#Monsterdon

@GroupNebula563 @maple shut up and take my money

#Monsterdon #Critters4

wow. that was *definitely* a sequence of still images played at ~30 frames per second

#monsterdon #critters4

And we go comedy jukebox for the ending credits! Thanks for playing along, folks. As always, there's one last task before you leave the theater:

Was CRITTERS 4 (1992) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE of the year?

ahh glad it's over

Thanks @Taweret and hope you had a great day!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

No #MonsterdonBingo for me. That's just as well, it works out when the movie is this much of a stinker that there is no bingo

#Monsterdon

OK, "for your listening pleasure" is a bit directly out of Dark Star

#Monsterdon

Two one liners. The writers were high fiving each other.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Charlie should deliver Dirty Harry's ".45 magnum" speech.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

There is a danger of CRITEical mass in ten minutes

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Someone was really proud of that "Chill out, asshole" one-liner.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

ethan you are not arnold. you will never be arnold

#monsterdon

*montage of stormtroopers finding themselves locked in the medical lab that is now filled with full-grown critters*

*point-of-view heads up displays show a distance marker in the bottom right corner bouncing between 800 and 900 meters*

those critters are not 800 meters away

#monsterdon

Just let Angela Basset handle things from here boys

#Monsterdon

This is some Wheatly level silliness with the nuclear core

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@bryanhowell you'd think the store with "radio" literally IN ITS NAME would sell better radios, but no

#Monsterdon

It's good they use the same four sets again and again....

#Monsterdon

Could those stormtrooper radios be any worse? Did they get them at RadioShack?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

The movie still has 10 minutes in it, so it's time for Ethan to go walkabout again

#Monsterdon

@bryanhowell apparently it's the same Ug!

#Monsterdon

As predicted, I boosted my own post

#monsterdon

@bryanhowell he's still alive, he tried to put them back on offscreen

#Monsterdon

tbf living in the 21st Century does this to you...

#Monsterdon

All Space Cops Are Bastards

#monsterdon #critters4

"Hooray! The Colonial Marines are here! Now everything will be fine!"

#Monsterdon

Okay so... why did this guy leave the ship with the gun? What did he have to do?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

I'm not saying he should shoot that baby alien but he should at least squish it real good.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

aaaand there goes Brad Dourif, who is NOT Ethan's dad!

#Monsterdon

Twenty four minutes left in this movie

*slow deep breaths*

OK OK OK we can do this

#monsterdon

@whiskeysailor way WAY more!! #monsterdon

And now daddy issues the subplot.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

Does the kids room have venetian blinds? on a spaceship?

#monsterdon #critters4

So is there really no way to repair this ship? Does it never take damage?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Guys let's just all relax and take a shower and think this through.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@ricci So I haven't been really been paying attention and what you're saying is that I could tune in now (it's been playing on the TV the whole time) and not have missed anything?

#Monsterdon

Okay but they still haven't made clear why the station was abandoned to begin with. Like, I'm waiting for the introduction of the OTHER alien menace. #Monsterdon

okay sure whatever we're all mad at Charlie for saving our lives

we don't care about these characters, so this doesn't work.

#Monsterdon

@ricci The Critters franchise laughs at your need for a plot.

#monsterdon

you guys I'm starting to think that the plot to this movie is never going to start

#monsterdon

DO NOT with the gun #Monsterdon

how can you be making a movie and filming the "the critters roll down the hall and sort of fuck up and crash into a trash can" scene and not wonder "now why the fuck aren't we doing this for the whole movie" #monsterdon

"Okay, you know that scene in Aliens where Ripley goes ballistic and shoots and flame-throwers the alien eggs?

We're gonna do that, but all we have is pudding and green food coloring and the boots Angela Bassett is wearing."

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Aaw, they're planning a little cruise <3 #Monsterdon

I just got an ad for ... concussions, I think?

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ Intergalactic law requires preserving the species

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Okay, NOW it's The Cube. #Monsterdon

*benny hill theme starts playing*

#Monsterdon

This is your brain.

This is your brain being eaten by Critters.

Any questions?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Oh hey they can reuse the bald Crite puppet from part 2. How convenient they used laser hair removal on that one baby half an hour ago.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

Can we get a Critters: Generations movie with Fiona Dourif as the Crite Queen

#Monsterdon

Are we about to have a Cocaine Bear situation here? Cocaine Crites!
#Monsterdon #Critters4

There better be an 'Eye- Critter' and a sheep in this....

#Monsterdon

why is this man grabbing random drugs, oh who cares

#monsterdon

"Finally, I can get my space heroin."

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

I say we take off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

"Albert? I found this in the lab, like I told you. You know, before we got garbaged?"

*all of #monsterdon looks directly into the camera*

I haven't been able to make myself self-reproducing either, doc. Believe me, I've tried.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Are we going to get super-critters?

#Monsterdon

Oh yeah syphalloids you guys better get to the pharmacy after all.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

I wonder what the Crites are doing

#Monsterdon

Budget: $1032 remaining

#Monsterdon

We're nowhere near Earth. We're at least... ten miles away.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@ricci One could argue the movie was made at some time. #monsterdon

Why is there an *AIR DUCT* leading into the garbage disposal that jettisons into space?

#monsterdon #critters4

lol, I love how shitty and therefore realistic this AI is...

#Monsterdon

Angela, shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level!

#monsterdon #critters4

There is safety in those ducts kid, Newt knew this...

#Monsterdon

Called it. #Monsterdon

This movie came out on October 14, 1992. One could have been watching the second season premiere of Aeon Flux instead.

#Monsterdon

love that chonky 90s hard drive start up noise...

#Monsterdon

You've never been to Earth?

Luckyyyy 😤

#Monsterdon

This movie keeps on making me think of Alien and Aliens, which seems like a bad sign

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@Crazypedia I mean, they do reuse those sets, so....

#MOnsterdon

A little more lighting design and haze would have gone a long way in this movie. It looks like everything was lit with fluorescent tubes from K-Mart.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@SnoopJ With a few guitar twangs to make it Dark Star

#Monsterdon

this movie needs M Emmet Walsh #monsterdon

The guy that plays Charlie must be a wholesome and awesome dude for people to keep making Critters movies for him to be in

#Monsterdon

didn't the boy in the original wear the same colour shirt?

Are we getting that level of detail?

#Monsterdon

Was Charlie like frozen in space for decades or centuries or something?

#Monsterdon

"You've never been to Earth?"

"No. Is it cool? Do they have churros?"

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

you know it's a computer because there are meaningless numbers all over the screen and a keyboard with 503 keys

#Monsterdon

No Crite subtitles this time? I guess they aren't born knowing language.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

awww, look at the little fellas!

let them live, feed them the captain!

#Monsterdon

@jsadow Did they use the future setting?

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Stop drop and roll! No wait, that's if you're on fire. What's the choking one again? Hug a tree and call for help! No wait.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Oh no! It's taking tiny bites of my wrist!
