That cat made it!

#monsterdon

"Call me." WHOA HEY NOT COOL #monsterdon

#Monsterdon whoa. homeowners insurance not gonna like that

critter laughing after blowing up the house

fantastic

#monsterdon

and this is how ANTIFA was born

#monsterdon

Nobody gets CIA signals on their teeth anymore, now that dentists switched to resin fillings. They had to switch to vaccines in the early 2000s, they're more efficient but where's the ROMANCE :/ #Monsterdon

The bike will now rise into the sky

#monsterdon

I told you this was the same plot as Lilo and Stitch

#monsterdon

How would you explain on this damage to the Insurer?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Notch another Critter for Brad, so far that's one that he has killed with a firework and one by accidentally shooting a ceiling fan that dropped and smooshed his quarry.

DON'T SET THE HOUSE ON FIRE BRAD FOR HECKSAKE

I like the dispatcher, because she knows she is talking to idiots

#monsterdon

The bowling geeks don’t want no freaks #Monsterdon

If they had listened to Charlie rather than get him drunk for their amusement....

#Monsterdon

I get the impression that rather than just kill and eat this family, the Critters are fucking with them like they're the Clutters...

#Monsterdon

The bounty hunters get right to the point. #monsterdon

Wow the whole town was in there
#monsterdon

"We came here for the Bowling actually, the Bounty Hunting is just a side hustle...."

#Monsterdon

Crites are literal cartoon characters. Eating dynamite like a Wile E Coyote.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Absolutely loved those space guns when I saw this movie as a teenager

#Monsterdon

By the power of Crites, I compel you!

#Monsterdon #Critters

White american boy has explosives to hand, sigh.....

#Monsterdon

indigestion
#monsterdon

lol, looks like Green Head dude is having a wank over Neelix's body

Knew they were Sex Tourists

#Monsterdon

It ROLLED. 🤣 #monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER CHOMP

Coworker-harassing patrol cop gets... needle-gunned in the kneecap and then dragged under his car to be eaten? I think?

(Did that actor play Neelix in Voyager? He looked a lot like Neelix.)

#Monsterdon Oh sure, you got coffee for Sal, but not for Captain Janeway! You prick! And drive! Ahhhh! :)

they PAID for that music and they are GOING to get value for it #monsterdon

Wow, this singer really had a stranglehold on pop culture #Monsterdon

Is Gus going to be is this movie too? I hope so! 🤞 #WrongFrogs #monsterdon

#monsterdon oh gosh, Billy Zane was never that young

kid missed out on a good "broad side of a barn" joke #monsterdon

Good to see their assimilation software included a crash course in Twitter. Owner on the left, vaccine denier on the right. #monsterdon

Billy Idol-ish should go without notice

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Send the prisoners through detox and immunization, then bring them aboard." excellent idea _stares at Dulles Airport_

oh my gosh these rubber suits

@paco After Devil Girl #monsterdon

How it started, how it's going. #monsterdon

The critters are if anything way less dangerous than the initial description. Unless humans are implicitly space orcs?

#monsterdon

Not as Gremliny as I thought it would be. Lots of fun familiar faces. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla, and company for another lovely time! #Monsterdon

Ok last post on this for tonight, but from Critters 3, this is a very young Leonardo DiCaprio!

#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf That is Klaus Kinski--I think it was from this film called Android?

#Monsterdon

"Power of the Night...
the sleeps are calling"

I do like this person's copyright disclaimer.

#monsterdon

@Cherizilla @Terencio

@strangefour @CactuarJoe tremors is actually like 100% great

#monsterdon #critters

The last Critters movie was in 2019 so that implies the existence of CGI Critters....

#Monsterdon

@strangefour @Taweret yeah i think we all know how this election is going to go

#monsterdon #critters

@rebeld The music video has some real gems. The only problem is that capturing these required me to hear "Power of the Night" so many times...
#monsterdon

I fell asleep to a Fresh Air podcast on how climate change is affecting where people move, informative but also depressing, and then I woke up and rushed straight to late attendance at #Monsterdon, and wow, what a surreal transition.

Drifting off to flooding and wildfires and wheat subsidies and waking up to alien gremlins terrorizing a horny teenager in a hayloft, being hunted by a moody hair metal band.

I've not fully recovered, to be honest.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie that was actually kind of good and yet perfect for #Monsterdon ... what an experience. I am unsettled. This was fun though!

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Looking forward to next week!

@Taweret @Cherizilla Oh, wow! Brad was played by Scott Grimes, who was also in The Orville (among many other things).

#Monsterdon

props to the movie for creating the most generic 80s song I've ever heard tho

#monsterdon

Goodnight, #monsterdon! Another fun one from the Blockbuster Horror section, and one that had actual writing!

Chewie is okay! Does the cat live, yes he does!
#Monsterdon #Critters

#Monsterdon alright, thanks for the film. #Monsterdon was really cool! will have to see if I can join in next time.

If there any other film nights like this, for other genres, let me know!

wow, we did NOT get The Licensed Song a third time. was this movie merciful? #monsterdon

UNLIKE LAST WEEK we got a real ending and everything! Miracle of miracles!

#monsterdon #critters1986

They made 5 of these, last one in 2019 I think. I enjoyed this one, for what it's worth. Not sure I could stomach 4 more though.

Thanks everyone for tooting along, thank you @Taweret for organizing.

'Till next time.

#monsterdon

woohoo! saved by the power of the night!

thanks @Taweret and all the monsterdontists!

#monsterdon

Exciting! I missed the last 15 minutes because my dog threw up on the floor. 🐕

Also… I feel like maybe I didn’t miss anything important

#monsterdon

Haha well, looks like those cosmic bounty hunters who threatened people and beat them up were the heroes we needed after all

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Critters, from 1986, was a different kind of ... Critterion Collection. We also had,

This goblin child's affection for his cat makes up for all the pyromania.

#monsterdon #critters1986

We'll be playing the aforementioned glossy metal-rock. I have to practice singing like Sheena Easton.

#Monsterdon

The local government takes a page out of Gravity Falls' playbook and passes the "Never Mind All That" Act. #monsterdon

Despite all the magical repairs, they still really need a new roof #Monsterdon

I'm very impressed that this movie is making an actual attempt to end, this is a
#Monsterdon unicorn

it seems like they just had done a rebuilding house scene like that in film school and needed a reason to do it in the movie #monsterdon

Nesting Partner: "at least Neelix got eated" :sayoriYes: #Monsterdon

And the actually IMPORTANT PLOT POINT -- Chewie is okay. #Monsterdon

This whole movie should just be called How Brad is the Coolest

#Monsterdon

"Hello little boy, here's my phone number....."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon Molotov cocktail saves the day!

J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶!̶

Gratuitous farmhouse demolition! Exploding spaceships! Set up the sequel!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Cats would absolutely do this if they had access to spaceships and laser weapons

#Monsterdon

I just wanted to say, thanks, I fucking hated our house
#monsterdon

thanks for what, kid, they didn't do shit

#monsterdon #critters

everything is catching

yes

everything is catching

on fiiiii-re

#monsterdon #critters

they really are _just_ assholes xD

#monsterdon #critters

Transform into a ball and roll out!
#Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon The cat got a subtitle!!

Charlie's just following his teeth

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The way the screenplay centers the kid Brad's perspective feels remniscent of Invaders From Mars (1953/1986).

Yeah I mean at this point would anyone be having *more* of a difficult time with the glowing green heads? This whole disguise idea was just a mistake, Glorbax #monsterdon

We came to destroy the front door and a toilet. Our mission is complete.
#monsterdon

oh dear god
E.T. fixtures

#monsterdon

ET fuck off.
Crites know how to throw a wicked slumber party.
#Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon I would not say this film is GOOD. But I can see why it got a series of films.

Why did the big one level up? Did it get wet? Did it eat after midnight?

#Monsterdon

Oh good! The kitty is still alive.

#Monsterdon

I love that woman in curlers. She's amazing.#Monsterdon

DON'T KILL THE CAT!

#Monsterdon

the crites seem fine just hungry, give them some cows and call it a day #monsterdon

Like shootin' crites in a toilet. #Monsterdon #Critters

Props for saying "let's roll" and then actually rolling

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Harv is either being careful or he had a surprise shart.

The critter dialogue totally wins

#monsterdon

these guys are SO BAD AT THIS

#monsterdon #critters

They came to blow up shit and chew bubblegum. #Monsterdon #Critters

I remember that saying from the 80s: "You're not from around here are you?"
