#Monsterdon of all the times I thought brad was going to light the house/barn on fire ...

bounty hunters oughta recruit that kid #monsterdon

I wish this family were more stoic about all this...

#Monsterdon

"uh oh"
lolololol
#monsterdon

I mostly just want to know how Brad did on his test.

#Monsterdon

This is actually easier to get the insurance claim paid for than several other more common things that can happen to a farm #monsterdon

NO MY PROPERTY VALUE!!!
#monsterdon

they really are _just_ assholes xD

#monsterdon #critters

lol, they blow up the house for no reason at all, bless 'em!

#Monsterdon

Unstable pyromaniacs do have a place in this community #Monsterdon

Well, the Crites were pretty mad at that family, weren't they?

#Monsterdon

ahahaha, Checkov's Molotov! amazing! 100% #monsterdon

Me: That's why I always have a bottle of whiskey on me
Friends: This is a serious issue
#monsterdon

Noooooooo not the spaceship

#monsterdon #critters1986

Harv gets slammed during a moment when he wasn't actually doing anything idiotic, didn't think it was likely #monsterdon

Do not mess with that kids 'Firecrackers'

#Monsterdon

oh Charlie's got the right idea 😏
#monsterdon

That's one hell of a slow fuse on that pipe bomb... #monsterdon

When in doubt, molotov cocktail 👍 #Monsterdon

Charlie's still got some heat

#Monsterdon

Truly, the cocktail we need for #Monsterdon

genuinely good and just inept enough blow-up-the-spaceship scene

#monsterdon

IS the kid going to destroy the ship with that big bomb he made early? Couse that would be awesome and ridiculous all at the same
#monsterdon

#monsterdon that's not a firecracker. That's a pipe bomb.

Hooch for the win! #Monsterdon #Critters

@srol Or a super weak generator #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon This is the era of boys not listening to their mothers

“It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.”

“Hit it.”

#Monsterdon

wouldn't be a proper kid snot prankster if he didn't light a few fireworks in someones ride
#monsterdon

or maybe this is Checkov's Firework. #monsterdon

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL

#Monsterdon

"I'll holler if I need you"

<doesn't holler>

#Monsterdon

charlie really just gonna stand there while a couple of kids get kidnapped by aliens? #monsterdon

Charlie saves the day! Being a drunk pays off!

#Monsterdon

BIG BOOM. BIG BADA BOOM. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Toilet water splash back, arrrgh!

The giant critters are starting to look like mirror-universe Wookies

#Monsterdon

"Oh hi. Got a light?" #Monsterdon

"I dropped my firecracker!" #monsterdon

The B I G one
#monsterdon

Looks like they are packing the sister as a snack for the trip.

#Monsterdon

I mean, at least the ship looks appropriately like a piece of shit on the inside #monsterdon

The cat is named Chewie? Like Captain Marvel's cat?
#Monsterdon #Critters

April has perhaps been impregnated already. #sequel
#Monsterdon #Critters1986

#Monsterdon oops the miru stream stopped working for me. gotta refresh

@Zerofactorial #NodsKnowingly #Monsterdon

@s20 Superpower: being surrounded by incompetence

#Monsterdon

still trying to decide if this is a sexist plot point in the making. #monsterdon

Surprising the pyrotechnics didn't put any part of their house on fire #monsterdon

It's bigger on the inside. #Monsterdon #Critters

I like Charlie better when he's a brooding alien bounty hunter.

#monsterdon

Snufflelupogous critter took April! Shotgun it!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

#monsterdon Let's roll!

Too bad these people didn’t opt for the escaped aliens & bounty hunters rider on their insurance policy. #monsterdon

Finally the bounty hunters find a clue! That runs right into their laps. How do these guys ever accomplish anything in space? They are making diaper headed Dengar look competent.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Bike vs Bike #monsterdon

Cool. We can get out of here faster because we can take the HOV lane!
#monsterdon

I didn’t realize crites were ones to pack a lunch.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

ya know, we didn't have a scene where the critters were chowing down on junk food and stuff yet did we?
#monsterdon

That is one weeeak headlamp..

#Monsterdon

@moira As a kid I always thought this was "knockoff Gremlins" but it's actually better than that (and a little worse too)

#monsterdon

Pretty sure the Crites could have been foiled by my Texan roommate in college and/or my aunt from Alaska.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I wonder if I should count that as "casual sexism" for bingo purposes

#Monsterdon

THE ERA OF BENCH-SEAT SEDANS. #monsterdon

that cat would be under anything in the studio and inaccessible for a full 48 hours after seeing a monster guy like that #Monsterdon

@wohali this film has had many actually funny moments _by design_! it's very strange for this kind of film. xD

#monsterdon #critters

Ugh, man. Imagine having to middle seat it with M. Emmet Walsh :/ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

See, this is what happens when you feed tribbles after midnight.

Well, they figured out the shifter.

#Monsterdon

Huh? what's that giant hairy arm attached to? #monsterdon

Can you move the seat up?

No.

#Monsterdon

ok, getting into the front seat and pushing the Sheriff over was genuinely funny 😄

#monsterdon

#monsterdon man, brad is a effing superhero lol

@Zerofactorial that doesn't sound like a haepoo... nuthin! #Monsterdon

But the Charlie alien variant clearly has problems.

#Monsterdon

oh dear god
E.T. fixtures

#monsterdon

imagining doing multiple takes with the cat where you need to keep them calm and then actually scare them with a big monster thing. you would only get one per day and three tops lol #monsterdon

Of COURSE it grabbed the girl. -_-; #Monsterdon

This movie has everything, really. I am satiated. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Harv is terrified beyond rational capacity. Get him an I Love Me jacket.

Large crite the size of a small crite

#Monsterdon

The harpoon thing is getting bigger? #monsterdon

That Johnny Steel is a badass.

#Monsterdon

Now I understand why these weapons shoot through walls.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

@wohali awww :(

#Monsterdon

Maybe the Critters recognize a kindred soul and choose to befriend the cat.

#monsterdon #critters1986

@helianthropy Combining this and Ghostbusters probably would have made more sense than either of them TBH

#Monsterdon

I think we're ready for the Checkov's fireworks payoff now.

#monsterdon

Idk I feel like I wouldn't have wanted to hang out in the house once I had the cat, just me though #monsterdon

jump scare coming prob
#monsterdon

@_L1vY_ is it really the cat?
#monsterdon

Chewie, having killed three of the critters already, seeks more victims. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I think since Alien, they're not allowed to kill the cat

misdirection via bad framing! good job

#monsterdon #critters

The bounty hunters have destroyed one thing, one more and they're outta here

#Monsterdon

Dad's feeling better dad's feeling SPRITELY. #monsterdon

Barney Fife doppelganger gets his revenge

#monsterdon

oh, gross…
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Guys don't know about plungers #Monsterdon

That's not the first one he's gutted, lol. #monsterdon
