oh yes, of course. Projectile weapons in space. What's a hull breach between friends?

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe ACAB. (All Crites are Bastards)

#Monsterdon

@tankgrrl

It’s his 4th Critters.

#Monsterdon

The critters are distracted playing Asteroids! Now's our chance!

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@tankgrrl I guess that's the gist of Critters 1-3

#Monsterdon #Critters4

"This is the greatest handgun ever made. The Colt Single Action Army. Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves."

#Monsterdon

yes, the critters know how to use computers, good luck to them I say!

#Monsterdon

Some day I want to see a movie with realistic nuclear reactors (including xenon poisoning)

#Monsterdon #Critters4

I missed the reason, if one was given, that the eggs should not have beeen destroyed

I also do not care, this movie has not earned it

#Monsterdon

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT follow Charlie's directions. #Monsterdon

On the one hand, these two Crites are having a way higher kill count per Crite than previous movies. On the other hand we have seen a grand total of 3 minutes of Crites in an hour of movie.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

Hey everyone my eyes are starting to hurt from my phone projecting your toots onto my face

#Monsterdon

the only good thing about this is that the number of characters is monotonically decreasing

#monsterdon

lol, they went for the ponytail first...good boys...

#Monsterdon

is this a game of pacman

#monsterdon

Critter-cam!

#Monsterdon #Critters4

Guys, just spitballing, but what if Angela Bassett took another shower? That would probably help, right?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

No co-pay... no deductible... I'm in heaven.

#monsterdon

cost-effective Crite attack, activate!

#Monsterdon

It's time to cook Bernie.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

@bryanhowell isn't it going to nuke itself anyways?

#Monsterdon

OK, so they really are just doing Critters: The Alien Franchise

#Monsterdon

thank god someone finally dropped an F-bomb, best dialog so far

#monsterdon

Oh, yes! A metabolic accelerator! If we don’t see a critter the size of the space station before the end of this movie, it’s all a complete wash.

#Monsterdon

this is channel 4 eyewitness news, brought to you by terracor

#Monsterdon

Every future console should have a huge Mondrian piece next to the keyboard

#Monsterdon

Hope they saw that movie and know what to do

#Monsterdon

"53 years... That means everyone I know... is eligible for AARP.

...JUST KILL ME NOW."

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@davesdogmaggie Wall to wall Astroturf for everyone!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

Now we're pilfering trash compactor / evacuation tube scenes from Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980)?

Also borrowing a little bit from Aliens during the escape from Medlab when Newt slides out of the air ducts into the HVAC evaporation tanks.

#monsterdon

There's microphones in the waste disposal system so that the system can mock you when you ask for help.
#monsterdon

This habitat module or whatever has 'backrooms' energy

#Monsterdon

Guys it's okay Angela Bassett is on screen.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

#Monsterdon We’re about 30 seconds away from a smash cut to the critters sat in front of two TVs watching Star Wars and Alien. There’s hanging a lantern on something and then there’s dropping a lighthouse on the audience #Monsterdon #Critters4

Just think, somebody programmed (trained?) Angela to have a conversation with waste material about not responding to waste material

#Monsterdon #Critters4

"Relax! This thing is preparing to jettison us into space."

I feel like that's a bit of a non-sequiter

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

This is a grate movie

#Monsterdon

*nothing happens for ten minutes*

I wonder what the critters are up to

#monsterdon

well this is just that scene from Star Wars...

#Monsterdon

Arr Two, TURN ON all garbage compactors on the detention level! #Monsterdon

The trash compactor? What a great idea! What an incredible smell you've discovered.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

[Bruce Willis voice] Come out to space... we'll get together... have a few laughs.

#monsterdon #critters4

they should just go now. the aliens are already on a ship that's about to blow up. what is stopping them

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat dear lords.... #Monsterdon

Space stations need lots and lots of chains, because of all the gravity.
#monsterdon

Restricted access pharmacy? Omg are the Crites gonna get high?
#Monsterdon #Critters4

Not sure what the blues slide guitar licks are doing in this

#monsterdon #critters4

actually, they do kinda look like piranhas

#Monsterdon

"what are we doin'"

kid EVERYONE wants to know

#monsterdon

@diazona ...and a "tv show" if you can call it that. 8 episodes ~10 mins each.

#monsterdon #critters4

"But you don't got them pointy ears"

#Monsterdon

Who pronounces every letter "rem"? Also, 2045 and we still aren't using sieverts/grays?

#Monsterdon #Critters4

@strangefour I do remember discussion of this last time... #Monsterdon

@cherizilla A+ cheri, gold star #monsterdon

They're really gonna have to do Opposite Day with the AI for the entire movie? Maybe they should try "Angela, from now on, DO NOT respond to my direct requests."

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

lol, Charlie thinks the kid is a shape-shifter

#Monsterdon

It's immune to my high-powered flashlight!

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Eating Critters makes you scream in reverse

#monsterdon #critters4

We have Critters. #monsterdon

EAT HIM!

good boys, go through the anus first....

#Monsterdon

it's time for the classic "stick your face into an alien egg" moment....

#Monsterdon

so far the only thing I really know about this movie is that its title is a fucking lie

#monsterdon

35 minutes with no Crites?
Maybe we should mutiny?
#Monsterdon #Critters4

What was that music cue, a knock-off Tears in Rain?

#Monsterdon

[distraught] "I'm in space, aren't I?"

Oh, Charlie.

#Monsterdon

set it to firefighter operation

#Monsterdon

Shitty TL54 is running on a tiny GPU in a box under someone's desk isn't it. #monsterdon

I shot our printer with the gun but it still just says PC LOAD LETTER

#Monsterdon

This AI is very susceptible to reverse psychology.

#Monsterdon

Brad Dourif hacks this LLM without even trying. So nothing has changed in the future.
#Monsterdon #Critters4

lol, he actually did something like it!

#Monsterdon

Ethan I need you to go and check that we still have 90's DiCaprio at home

#Monsterdon

Insulting the AI always improves performance.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

I bet the computer would recognize your voice pattern correctly if you spit out the gum.

Just saying.

#Monsterdon

The station is drifting half a degree per month.

Relative to what? Why would that matter.
#monsterdon

I... um... uh... Okay the punch makes me feel better about myself. Not a lot better. But some.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Hit him girl!

YES!

Captain can die first obvs

#Monsterdon

I wonder if Angela Bassett used a butt double.

#Monsterdon

I wish my hair dried that fast. I also wish I still had hair

#Monsterdon

Yes, janky nuclear reactors!

#Monsterdon #Critters4

lol, the nuclear core is always a problem in these things....

#Monsterdon

Bernie / Leo's going to hit that pharmacy #monsterdon

@strangefour oh no don't remind me of what we could be watching instead

#Monsterdon #Critters4

I hope "the gun" is a musket. Will make for some tense reloading scenes

#Monsterdon

@jivens Three days there, three days back, and a day to stop at a floating restaurant to use a bathroom.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Why is there a sullen teenager on this space station?
#Monsterdon #Critters4

I like that Terracor has a jingle when they sign off interstellar comms.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

Yes, obviously do what Angela Bassett says. Are you all mad?

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

The Orion Colony is a Christian Nationalist planet

Once again the Ripley of the crew is ignored....

#Monsterdon

Excuse me counselor while I slap some sense into this fool.

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

I do enjoy a "the space crew are incompetent, drunk and creepy" trope, very Cassette Futurist

The Galactic Council dissolved?! 30 years of contact with Earth and a million year old institution has collapsed

#MOnsterdon

It's a factory stamp. Good god, this thing was made in a factory!

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

zoom. enhance. ZOOM. ENHANCE.

#Monsterdon

So far we've had obvious nods to Aliens, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: the Next Generation...

edit: the Aliens references keep coming. (Eventually we're going to move on to stealing scenes from Dark Star, right? Seems like that would be a better tonal fit.)

#monsterdon

Serpentine! Serpentine!

#Monsterdon
#Critters4

@bryanhowell fair, this is objectively true

#monsterdon

What if early 90s hair is back in fashion by 2045 though?

#Monsterdon

Brad Dourif playing a creepy, nervy guy?

#Monsterdon

@bryanhowell I'd go with "mass but they said weight" (though measuring that would be non-trivial.)

#Monsterdon #Critters4

#MONSTERDON
I don't usually find Dourif cute but he is kind of cute in this.
