Nice Rube Goldberg shot, kid. I did a lot worse at the same age. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh is the boy gonna be able to... no... oh okay, gravity kills?

I am shotgunning the crap out of them at this point. Are they just a little slow in those parts?

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

man, dad looks dead
#monsterdon

I know the designers had so much fun with the alien rock outfit. #Monsterdon

well that was MOMentous

#monsterdon #critters

@_L1vY_ Aquanet was not joke!! #monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid Walk it off, man. Walk it off. #monsterdon

@OliviaVespera In college in the 80s we'd snark verbally in front of the teevee #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oooof right in the neck!

Wonder if the kid remembers he's got a pipe bomb in his pants? #Monsterdon

Yeah, I mean, the mother's characterization I differ with some, but I gotta say, this kind of portrayal of basically healthy family life is no bad thing to see. It's kind of what I was implicitly promised when I was brought into this world. Never got it, but that probably just makes the nostalgia all the keener. #monsterdon

You've got to rip the door off to pull off that outfit in that place. #Monsterdon

Pin Busters. Cute bowling shirt.
#Monsterdon #Critters

@rebeld He must have lost 2 lbs already

#monsterdon

Dad's fine, just rest up old man, I'm sure a good sleep and some cod liver oil will set you right as rain.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

The Hairdo remains utterly unfazed.

#Monsterdon

Those golf lessons paid off! #Monsterdon

that's a lot of blood loss for "fine", dad #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I'm sure it'll end fine for pool table guys.

#monsterdon Damn, mom. You need a Valium.

How is the dad still alive at this point? #monsterdon

@severud mission accomplished!

#Monsterdon

These bounty hunters have a playbook: Land on a planet, go into the first building they see, mimic one person there, destroy two things, leave. And they stick to it. #monsterdon

dude's already an alcoholic but can you blame him for drinking more at this point #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Harv has complex COPD and will drop dead of congestive heart failure. Then they’ll discover that he has raging liver cancer and only has moments left, or, he’s in his 60’s. ;)

@xoagray Judas Priest?! #BreakinTheLaw #Monsterdon

I think THIS is the film they watched before making Killer Klowns from Outer Space. #Monsterdon

@paco

When you travel the universe, you don't have time to dawdle.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986 #Critters

@OliviaVespera This came out 5 years before T2, clearly that was a homage to this movie

#Monsterdon

oh whoops one of the characters is actually named jeb, my stereotype names were too generic #monsterdon

But Halloween Is Every Day!!

#Monsterdon

I have finished my nacho fries and am about to start on the Junior Mints.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

#Monsterdon

Dolly Parton is pinned to the wall next to his bed. Seems appropriate, somehow. #monsterdon

Oh, what a... Handsome man :/ #Monsterdon

Look, they are waking poor Mr Walsh!
#monsterdon

Everyone is admiring the studded outfits.

#Monsterdon #critters

I don't think I saw what prompted the bounty hunters to go to the bowling alley. Why did they go there?

#Monsterdon

This is a great scream scene on the front porch into the living room. #Monsterdon

This is not how you make First Contact. Have they even HEARD of the Prime Directive?

#Monsterdon

I can't be mad at you rolling flesh eating space beasts. You're such cute muppets.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Me when I enter the grocery store in this super churchy town

#Monsterdon

Yep. Laserblast. #Monsterdon

@maple they fast forwarded through the good parts of "earth" lol #monsterdon

"I need your clothes and your boots and your motorcycle"

#Monsterdon

Apparently what you do *not* learn from the Power of the Night music video is the fact that nobody on Earth knows what "crites" are

#Monsterdon

(shouting and screaming)

(explosions continue)

#monsterdon

know when to back down jeb, his eyes are glowing blue and his entire body is bulging out of his shirt #monsterdon

Man, just PICK A FACE already. #Monsterdon

Oh, come on dude, pick an alias already.

#monsterdon

"yeah I need some beers and a side of crites" #monsterdon

They're so advanced, but they don't have TVs!

#monsterdon

So I guess the team is the Pin Busters? They ain't afraid of no pins?

#Monsterdon #critters

These are the worst disguises I've ever seen on anybody in my life. #monsterdon

Marauding hairball chipped off her husband's body, nice approach shot #monsterdon

Charlie perfectly demonstrating what most bar insurance agencies would call a "civil and criminal liability." #monsterdon

those bounty hunters are really louse at their work. They keep looking up in the wrong places. Where are the mandalorians when you need them?
#monsterdon

I wonder if any of the hundred-ish people in this bowling alley suspect that the guy who throws a bowling ball at pins and smashes them might be not human

Any of them

Even a little

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is so fun, imagine if threaters allowed livetweeting. I'd love to do that sometime

"Have another drink, Charlie."

#Monsterdon

They aliens roll like tumbleweeds. #Monsterdon

BDSM hair metal aliens. Interesting choice. #monsterdon

"Wonder what team he's on"

The yucks in this movie are so good

#Monsterdon

Go Team Bounty Hunters #monsterdon

Teen boy sucked, but his death was still kinda unsatisfactory

#monsterdon

That's right. Shut the damn door. #Monsterdon

"Nobody fucks with a-Jesus"

#Monsterdon

that's the power of BOWL #monsterdon

this guy is walking around looking like a whole rockstar #monsterdon

It all makes sense now

#monsterdon

That's an awfully beat-up bowling ball he's holding.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

I would use the regular kind of bowling pins #monsterdon

Whaddya think? Eat the bowling ball? #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ If it's Johnny Steel his face would ring a bell #SeemedRelevant #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Despite the panic and screaming, this family is remarkably competent in reaction.

Please eat a bowling ball...pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

#monsterdon

"Holy shit! The pin machine's broke again!"

#monsterdon #critters

Yeah, I mean, if you make your bowling pins out of chalk, this often happens #monsterdon

Bounty hunter is the best bowler of all? ...

hell yeah

#monsterdon

@OliviaVespera Ah well I figure that's why they had the kid do it

#Monsterdon

and warning ignored checks out my card. #monsterdon

Wow, multiple black people. This is a pretty integrated Kansas town for the 80s. #Monsterdon

Radioactive space gophers.
Heroes inna gopher hole.
Gopher power!
#Monsterdon #Critters

@srol They did! And we're all better for it.

#monsterdon #critters

I can't believe this kid still has all his fingers....
#Monsterdon

Now they're leaving. What took them so long?!#Monsterdon

"I need your clothes, your shoes, and your ball" #monsterdon

Let Critters Say Fuck #monsterdon

This movie proves that alluding to pop culture does not make you clever.

#Monsterdon

I ain't afraid a no pins.. Pinbusters!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

"Isn't that Johnny Steele?"

Well, it's his face

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon wow. Way to enable, bartender guy.

@apLundell @Taweret They're just puppets #monsterdon

Oh hey, what were you saying about Terminator? #monsterdon

Sometimes you REALLY want to bowl.

#monsterdon

The slide bolt is on the bottom? What?

#monsterdon

@Lazarou I think that was part of mom qualification in the 80's

#Monsterdon

Okay so, bowling alley, vicious aliens shaped like balls, we are definitely HEADED SOMEWHERE

#Monsterdon

That’s what snotty preaching will get you #Monsterdon

I haven't seen a Critters in ages. But now I wish there were more of them. With decent writing and budget. And zanier.
Give me Critters vs Re-Animator! or some nonsense.
