@Taweret @Cherizilla I should be done downloading Critters 2 in about 10 minutes. Is anyone else doing #Monsterdon after party?

The imploding house ate Chewie!!?
#Monsterdon #Critters

No #MonsterdonBingo for me, but not far off from a blackout either.

#Monsterdon

How much of the effects budget was spent on this house!? They blow one version up spectacularly. Then they knock a second one down so that they can show it in reverse.

I like how there's no char or soot marks on the wood that reassembles into a house.

#monsterdon

Yeah, first person to romhack The Goonies II into Critters: The Movie: The Game gets a free pint of applesauce. #Monsterdon

@OliviaVespera 🎉

I do not specifically know of others but I believe there is a #WatchPartyCalendar

#Monsterdon

@ricci Ye-TI! Ye-TI! Ye-TI! Ye-TI!

#monsterdon #critters

#Monsterdon This closing theme music is not at all memorable.

It's just a drum loop while someone presses "DEMO" on a keyboard.

That was like if you took every 80s movie and mushed them together in order to make them worse.

#Monsterdon

Thank for everyone who posted on this week #monsterdon. In this shitty world we have to live lately, this is a fresh breeze of entertainment on my sundays.

I guess we can confirm if a critter bites you, you don't turn into one, you just lose a lot of blood. #monsterdon

Just FYI this reconstruction scene was CUTTING EDGE special effects at the time 😂

#Monsterdon

Oh there's still ten minutes of movie left...
Fuck your house! Ahahaha!
Uh oh...
#Monsterdon #Critters

@arrjay I love grungy space ships so much

#monsterdon #critters1986

@ohiofi Weirdly enough I would say some things happened in the last 15 minutes

There were explosions at least

#Monsterdon

@diazona @jonny Sometimes the movie itself is less reactionary though.

#Monsterdon

Critters (1986)📽️ 😱 👍 ❣️ 🖤

#monsterdon #critters

And the day is saved. Thanks to town drunk always having a whiskey on him.
#Monsterdon #Critters

That was a pretty good one! Thanks folks!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #critters went by really quickly how long was this?

At the end of the film the writers couldn't think of anything left for the actors to say

#Monsterdon

@jsadow @jonny To be fair here at #Monsterdon we have always had, shall we say, "special insight" into who the good guys and bad guys are #TeamMonster

wait that's where the gif of something rushing into the toilet was from #Monsterdon

"Welp, I'm outta here, holler if you need anything" - Cop

#Monsterdon

and that's the end of #monsterdon for today! an amazingly, uh, encapsulated movie? who went and got writers for this?

Stupid house-wind-reconstruction-remote control button can't even put the shingles on straight

#Monsterdon

...Oh yeah, didn't her boyfriend get eaten? #Monsterdon

@Louisa I feel like someone very pro-metal was involved in casting.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon OR IS IT?????? haha

ok that started slow but it came out real good in the last half!

thanks everybody for joining in and special thanks to our kind host @Taweret for organizing this lil bit o' fun <3 <3 <3

OK, that qualifies as a fun fim

Thanks @Taweret and everyone's great comments in
#monsterdon !

@Taweret the only way this movie would make sense is if it was trying to be the first in a series... but also i can't imagine funding a second movie after that lol #monsterdon

And the eggs set up the sequel - maybe a future watch?

Thanks for comin' along everyone, that was a great #monsterdon ! Be sure to thank our host @Taweret and all the fun folks participating and making it better like @JoeWynne and @Cherizilla !

#Monsterdon "Crites, uh, a, find a way"

Do you all smell something?

Yeah, my dead boyfriend is there in the barn. He died like 18 hours ago.
#monsterdon

and so the alien bounty hunters fucked off into space I guess

also there are 3 more critters movies. just saying

ty for joining, everyone!!!

#monsterdon

Oh no, the Crites left behind butt nuggets.

#Monsterdon

I love the critters, love the design
#monsterdon

Spontaneously reconstructing house!

Gotta love alien tech sometimes even if it makes zero sense whatsoever

#Monsterdon

I for one am glad the cat survived.

#Monsterdon

I'm glad the kitty made it! #monsterdon

Oh wait not a hostage. She's like a sandwich from a road side truck stop you get for the ride home.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Unwilling cat sucked into reverse explosion, film at 11.

#monsterdon #Critters1986

did you order a cat? #monsterdon

shit, i could use one of those. my house is a disaster area. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon At least mom's mason jar survived. All was not lost.

the house VFX people must have had so much fun with these sequences

#Monsterdon

@jonny Yeah that is weak since the opening portrays them as cruel imperialists.

#Monsterdon

@gnomon and #SplendaDaddy thinks the hill they keep showing is the same one from Invaders. #Monsterdon

Aw c'mon guys, it's not like you've never had a tornado here before. Chin up! #Monsterdon

I feel like insurance would call that an act of god...

And, considering how they're as powerful as those who believe in god believe he is, they wouldn't be that far off, now would they?

#Monsterdon

The Crites come from a world where cats developed spaceflight, not apes

#Monsterdon

Charlie's Teeth, my new '80s retro band

#Monsterdon

Whoops, first cell phone ever, won't be functional for another decade or two but still #Monsterdon

It's a music player, a phone, and a space communicator ... are you getting it yet?

#Monsterdon #Critters

cell phones, ten years before they became popular. #monsterdon

Also, they shot a toilet. #monsterdon

is the movie actually just gonna go with "the bounty hunters are the good guys and the critters are the bad guys????" #monsterdon

#monsterdon

@moira They were a useful distraction at times! #monsterdon

like a good neighbor, STAY OVER THERE #monsterdon

LOL the crites blowing up the house as a final 'fuck you' on the way to fuck off into space

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon seeing how easily spaceX starships rupture, i'd say this is a realistic depiction that it'll tkae one dynamite to blow it up.

...So whaddya figure the homeowner insurance claim is gonna look like? #Monsterdon

before the temperance movement, everyone was basically drunk all the time, and it was very common for people in the US to go around with a bottle moonshine or cider strapped to their belt. imagining the spontaneous molotov cocktail hazard of a bunch of drunk guys with bottles of liquor in that era #monsterdon

Wow those explosions are clearly above average!

#monsterdon

That'll be hard to explain t o the insurance adjuster.

#monsterdon

Did that massive cache of explosives go off?

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

But turnabout is fair play :3 #Monsterdon

Crap, Crites are vindictive fuckers aren't they.

#monsterdon

EVERYTHING'S EXPLODING

#Monsterdon

nice explosions #monsterdon

Absolutely legendary explosions

#Monsterdon

Oh, rude! #Monsterdon

Town drunk molotov cocktail is like the glasses of water sitting everywhere in Signs

#Monsterdon

Always keep explosives in yer pants...

#monsterdon

Love when they actually blow up a 1:1 scale house! Fantastic.

#monsterdon

Now that's just mean!

#Monsterdon

Slow motion molotov cocktail toss

#monsterdon

#monsterdon omg the police chief being squeezed between the bounty hunters. 🤣

It'd be funny if the ship took off with the kid still inside, and everyone's screaming, and then the whole town honors his sacrifice with a parade, and years later he returns, King of the Critters.

#Monsterdon

So, aliens are both good and bad, depending on whether you eat people or not. #Monsterdon

YES BOOZE SAVES THE UNIVERSE

#monsterdon #critters

Totally can imagine 8 hairy volleyballs piloting this spaceship. #monsterdon

Chekhov's pipe bomb.

#Monsterdon #Critters

Careful guys, the Psybertruk has cameras all over it!

#Monsterdon

Monster dance music sequence. #Monsterdon

flight of the crittergator

#monsterdon #critters

@SnoopJ They go in all directions, I can understand how he is all over the place

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon So, they take prisoners now?

Kids in movies always have working headlights on their bikes. I didn't know ANYONE as a kid with one. Just the unpowered reflector. #monsterdon

BONK BONK ON THE BIKE

#monsterdon #critters

There's another shotgun. Right there in the car. Get it. Get the shells. Go get the critters. End of movie. Come on.

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

#Monsterdon We're carpooling today

Of course there's a megacritter 😀

#Monsterdon

okay, but the bike needs a basket to hold the critter #monsterdon

wait an old-school incandescent bike spotlight and 1) it's bright enough to see and 2) the battery's still good? this movie just totally broke my suspension of disbelief

#monsterdon #critters

This is why I find a lot of media with shapeshifters tedious. Having to go through this song and dance of "Hmmmm, the way you're ominously threatening me is a bit strange, person I've known all my life" gets annoying after a while. #monsterdon

cat-driven plot ACTIVATE #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh we got a biggun'. Just straight up jumped outta the window.

Wow, that was legit a very upset cat.

#monsterdon
