this is already awesome

#monsterdon

It's #Monsterdon time, I'm in my comfy pants, I've got a beer, I'm going in totally blind!

Atari graphics. That's how you know it's gonna be good. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the cold equations

the asteroid turns around to reveal words carved into it, as some upbeat music plays #MST3K #wrongMovie #monsterdon

Space.

It seems to go on forever.

And then @Taweret loads up #monsterdon and starts throwing Critters at you.

Oh I didn't know this was gonna be a SPACE movie.

#monsterdon #critters1986

"smart egg"??

That makes our british production companies sound sane.

#Monsterdon

rocks rocks rocks

our love affair with rocks

society won't understand but h

#monsterdon #critters

Looking rocky already #monsterdon

That old Newline Cinema laser scan logo 😻

#Monsterdon

New Line Cinema, you know it's going to be good

#monsterdon

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Critters (1986).

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

No-context #Monsterdon posts are pretty much the best thing in movieland.

@RobotDiver Is that a firecracker in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
#monsterdon

@SnoopJ Fair warning that unlike the cat in Critters, the dog is dead ~24 minutes into Critters 2 #Monsterdon

@adamthomlison yes. total space assholes.

#monsterdon #critters

Meh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://boxd.it/95ansz

#monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai I've heard it described as literally flatter than a pancake, and this wasn't that #monsterdon

@r343l @OliviaVespera Yeah for sure. I was kind of wavering on that one but I was really looking for a moment where, like, somebody died because they were waiting for help to arrive and it didn't get there in time, and I figured since I already had most of the board checked off I didn't need to push it 🤷

#Monsterdon

@OliviaVespera Oh right, I forgot about that... I was keeping that square unchecked in "protest" because at no point was the family radioactive 😛 but yes it absolutely could/should have been checked off

#Monsterdon

@Wyatt_H_Knott @JoeWynne @Taweret FREE THE ANTIFA MONSTERS #monsterdon

@Mazzo Not that *specific* noise, I think

...did we do Moonbase Attack for #Monsterdon? I kind of thought we did but if not it seems like a fantastic candidate lol

@Taweret @Louisa Cuz 80s movies wasn’t all fancy and stuck up like they is now. #Monsterdon

@Wyatt_H_Knott @JoeWynne @Taweret DESTROY THE FASCIST MONSTERS #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @JoeWynne @Taweret

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS!!! NO, wait, I mean, FREE ALL MONSTERS. (Did we do that one already?)

#monsterdon

@jsadow @YsengrinWolf ahhh yes, he does look very 'mad scientist'

#Monsterdon #KlausKinski

@moira That's some artistry there #monsterdon

@jsadow @YsengrinWolf Klaus Kinski as a robot?! The mind boggles...

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

@Wyatt_H_Knott @JoeWynne @Taweret Our poor suffering nation needs Gamera and there's not a minute to lose #monsterdon #uspol

Invasion of the Bee Girls 2 #Monsterdon

@strangefour
I really want @Louisa to make a #monsterdon season 2 shirt! I'm wearing my season 1 shirt. But there have been so many good ones since. @moira @CactuarJoe

I love this review for Slithis (1978).

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/slithis-1978

Kinda makes me want to watch Infra-Man or Godzilla vs. Hedorah again though.

#monsterdon

@moira @CactuarJoe We can watch occasionally actually good movies sometimes. Critters is kinda sorta a good movie. CHUD was pretty good, if very sleazy 80s NYC.
Hmm. I'd say we've had it too good lately but we did have that horrible Aztec Mummy stuff a while ago. And Star Creatures... and Bee Girls...
Yeah we are breaking even on movies this year.
#Monsterdon

in lieu of a #Monsterdon follow-up watch of CRITTERS 2 (because it will be in the poll) I'm going to dip back into my X-Files watch thread

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

#Monsterdon

@rebeccaab The slow blink means the Crite loves us.
#Monsterdon #Critters

@CactuarJoe Tremors is perfect for Monsterdon. Bunch of actors from other things. Cool monster. Actually a good movie that is very much a B movie. Quotable stuff.
Has decreasing quality of sequels...
#Monsterdon #Critters

I’m not even going to explain the choices. Just vote.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Yeti... Yeti... Ye...
CRITES! CRITES! CRITES!
#Monsterdon #Critters

@Wyatt_H_Knott @Taweret I'm dying for some Toho #monsterdon

YETI! YETI! YETI! YETI!
#Monsterdon #Critters

I probably could have gotten a couple more TBH

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Thanks @Taweret for a tiny, fiery, blow darty good time!

#Monsterdon

And, that's a wrap! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting one of the better 80s furball creature features. All the sequels are for another day!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

@Taweret Uh huh. This is how we get JD Vance for President next time too. ELECTION INTERFERENCE.

#Monsterdon

@yatsu NOT Frank Welker? I'm shocked.
Well I guess if you can't afford Megatron, Shockwave will do.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Oh dang! I missed #monsterdon again. It was such a nice evening so I went out for a long bike ride and now I see the hashtags.

@yatsu This is kind of a perfect summary lol

#Monsterdon

@Taweret That's what successful music majors DO #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

@strangefour Mm, Tremors would be a fun group watch. I legitimately love that film :D #Monsterdon

@Taweret

Sadist!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret @Cherizilla Well, then, I'll just hold onto it, in case it wins.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Critters 2 is on par with this one. The other two no. No they are not so much good bad.
#Monsterdon #Critters

This feels like such a Disney ending that I think it is a Disney movie. #Monsterdon

I think dad should go for his tetanus antitoxin shot #monsterdon

I know the The Culture 'Minds' were incredibly intelligent and apt, but this is a stretch even for Them.

#monsterdon

Okay yes Tubi we are probably going to watch the rest of these for Monsterdon someday. But not today.
Also we already did Killer Klowns.
#Monsterdon #Critters

„The prop department used merkins from the local 'nice 'n' naughty' for the Critters.“ if IMDb trivia can be trusted #monsterdon

@apLundell https://xkcd.com/411/

I mean, this isn't techno, but same idea?

#Monsterdon

How the fuck... Like I know they just reversed the footage. But how the heck did they do that with the roof?
Oh well. Chewie is okay. He was a special delivery.
#Monsterdon #Critters

Oh good, the remote was for a 3d printer #monsterdon

"Call me."#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we're a bit delayed on our start time, just got to the couch scene. I was hoping for a Danny DeVito cameo!

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

https://youtu.be/oOwqVrHl0Jo

@ramsey Did the studio get sued by Universal for that I wonder #monsterdon

@ramsey 😢

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Karen next door is going to report them for not getting a building permit.

#Monsterdon No post credits scene of Mike Emmett Walsh shaking his fist at the bounty hunter's space ship and yelling at them to "Cut the Critter Shit" :-(

We did get an extra one of these though, in case we forgot who brought us the film:

Aww. His alien friend really helped out! #Monsterdon

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

Alien pager. Wonder what that's worth in a pre-cellphone era.
#Monsterdon #Critters

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

@RobynGoodfellow @Cherizilla Ironic that "Fiery Explosion" is unchecked lol

#Monsterdon

@forestine I can only assume the dance remix is up next. #Monsterdon

NEXT LET"S DO YETI

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe PHRASING #monsterdon

Yeah, no, that's not happening #monsterdon

@SnoopJ we've already rolled over to it in my home! #Monsterdon

critter voices Corey Burton. thank you sir. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Man, this one just about had it all. Thanks @Taweret and @Cherizilla !

#monsterdon The bounty hunters gave Brad a magical un-explode-the-house widget?

...first-person closeup: CRITTER EGGS! The stage is set for a series of bad sequels! Roll credits.

The Critters have all been killed in various hilarious way! The useless bounty hunters fuck off into space! The parents are traumatized, Brad and April seem OK, Chewie is fine, nobody knows if the chickens are still alive!

That was fun! Thank you for hosting, @Taweret ! Thanks for the bingo card, @Cherizilla !

@CactuarJoe karaoke version, because it's such a smash hit #Monsterdon

@brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net Fortunately they still have the cat! That's extra important because you can't have homeowner's insurance without meow!

#Monsterdon #Critters1986

So I can't help but notice the lyrics haven't kicked in yet. Could they not afford the whole song? #Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf @jonny @Taweret I am guessing that's where the warning "Fore" came from #NodsAbitTooMuch #Monsterdon

@rberlim yes, I think that's accurate #monsterdon

Finally putting that bottle to good use! #Monsterdon

Well, it was a lot nicer soundtrack then average for #Monsterdon
thanks to the daylight saving time for making it earlier for me 😁

@jonny About that sequel... #monsterdon

@moira Rare for a #Monsterdon flick to actually *intend* to do that ^^

Is this scene in because "E.T." did really well?

#monsterdon

@plantago Fourth time for the house, seventh for the barn. I knew lots of that kid growing up. #monsterdon
