Did he put jam in his coffee?

#Monsterdon #Critters

Cooking breakfast for 4 people in a hurry but they're not hurrying and they keep yelling art reach other and talking on the phone, is my nightmare

#Monsterdon

Is the daughter going to vote for Dukakis?

#Monsterdon

Looks like the sort of boring, exurban, Purgatory that drives some to murder and others to screen-writing.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Amazing old fridge at angry grumpy breakfast prep.

Chewie the cat sighted

#Monsterdon

wait where'd the cat come from bring it backkkkkk
#monsterdon

These thermometer tricks they're always doing in movies -- I tried them multiple times as a kid. They never worked. #monsterdon

skipping the first 5m, scrubbed through it and it looks like another case where the entire plot is told in those 5m, but fuck it we'll do it live #monsterdon

"you gotta keep me informed" yeah, fathers can't be expected to pay attention to their children's social lives, this is the 80s. #monsterdon

The neighbors must wear earplugs #monsterdon

This music is that music that says, "this 1980s movie will be endearing."

#Monsterdon

why isn't that kid using her smartphone? #monsterdon

Weirdly enough, that vent trick works in my own house.

@paco Ballsy, like they give flip what anyone thought

#monsterdon

what what it's starting now? DST man #monsterdon

GET AN INTERCOM :/ #Monsterdon

“Brad, you’re a real jerk.” 😳

#Monsterdon #Critters

Those glasses are so 70s... which makes them appropriate for the 80s, oddly enough.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Hey, I remember mercury thermometers #monsterdon

Rushed to get settled for #Monsterdon tonight. Glad we made it in time cause it turns out there is quite a bit of backstory!

the family that can only communicate by shouting #Monsterdon

That’s some paint scheme. #Monsterdon

Everybody in the 1980s lived in houses that were decorated in the 1950s.

#monsterdon

We have coffee!

What does she need to take her books into the bathroom for?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon so is this a 90s film or an 80s film? It feels like it could be either.

#Rootpost for #Monsterdon

Ah, yeah. The quintessential 1980s "school skipping" tips and tricks.

#Monsterdon

billy mumy he ain't

#monsterdon #critters

Usually these movies just start right off with the Earth people being on Earth and we get no information about the greater galactic situation, but no, this has WORLDBUILDING.

#monsterdon #critters1986

There is surprisingly a lot of stuff happening in this movie

Almost none of it is on screen, but still

#Monsterdon

shit I shoulda got a snack after all 🥴
#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is so amazing. "Stop them before they can feed". Surely there's a lot of things to eat if you can travel across the universe a bunch of times??

*dissappointed* oh neelix is in this? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "eat your breakfast! i already sent you an advance notice cube!"

brad has important Skipping School business to get to, sis. #monsterdon

The title zoom had little bitty claws #monsterdon

Mmm bacon #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Classic American Kitsch #monsterdon

Change the musical chord please...ah thank you.
#Monsterdon

But first, some long shots of rusting farm implements

#monsterdon

Wait - Billy Zane (Demon Knight) is in this?

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Billy Zane?? #Monsterdon

Didn’t we visit this farm in a couple other movies? #Monsterdon

Bacon!

#Monsterdon #Critters

idyllic farm

stock footage

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, in an episode of The Waltons. #Monsterdon #Critters

#monsterdon hey, I forgot Billy Zane was in this!

Hey, Billy Zane. Maybe the starship'll hit an iceberg. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon meanwhile, in AMERICA

@ramsey We have been spoiled by previous #Monsterdon movies

Or whatever the opposite of "spoiled" is

#monsterdon special Critter effects!

Meanwhile, at the old chopping block ...

#Monsterdon #Critters

so what's the chance that they used all the special effects budget for these first 4 minutes?
#monsterdon

Chiodo Brothers make the best Critter Effects!

#monsterdon
#Critters

oh yeah Lin Shaye is in this #monsterdon

and Baby Gordon Malloy

#monsterdon

Well that's it for the budget. Everything else is cardboard and caro syrup right? #Monsterdon #Critters

Terrance Mann, class-y! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon if they were just going to kill them, then what’s the point of incarcerating them? Just kill them immediately. Just delaying the inevitable?

Billy Green Bush....

I think you need to a doctor about that.

#monsterdon

@srol The revolution will not be advance notice cubed. #Monsterdon

let's do some grimes, man! woohoooooo!

#monsterdon #critters

OK folks, get ready for most of the first act to take place in Whatever The Cheapest Town To Shoot In This Month Was, California #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "how can they steal a ship, man? they're critters!"

Billy Green Bush sounds like a strain of weed...

#Monsterdon

@trixter But the camera pans to the right instead of down so it is very different.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon crossing 70,000 light years ten times over is quite an amazing feat. no lie.

Bounty hunters! We apparently do need that scum.

#Monsterdon

No disintegrations!!!

#Monsterdon

RIP R Emmet Walsh, just this week. 😢

#monsterdon

This looks like a job for 4LOM and Zuccus.
#Monsterdon #Critters

EGGMEN! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I am omw I was popping corn

I had no idea there was this level of backstory to this movie. I just assumed scary critters showed up in the present-day 1980s, and there was mahem.

#Monsterdon

I already love this movie. #Monsterdon

Glad to see even though they have mastered interstellar travel they still use 1980s technology LEDs on their weapons.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

Not everyone gets an advance notice cube #monsterdon

...Are those Autons? #Monsterdon

@ohiofi That has to become a meme

ok, atomic skulls is cool; but that wasn't nearly as hardcore an equipment-load-up scene as Commando…
