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.
@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
@rebeccaab The slow blink means the Crite loves us.
#Monsterdon #Critters
Iām not even going to explain the choices. Just vote.
@Taweret Yeti... Yeti... Ye...
CRITES! CRITES! CRITES!
#Monsterdon #Critters
@Wyatt_H_Knott @Taweret I'm dying for some Toho #monsterdon
I probably could have gotten a couple more TBH
Thanks @Taweret for a tiny, fiery, blow darty good time!
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!
@Taweret Uh huh. This is how we get JD Vance for President next time too. ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
@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
@Taweret That's what successful music majors DO #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.
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
āThe prop department used merkins from the local 'nice 'n' naughty' for the Critters.ā if IMDb trivia can be trusted #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!
@ramsey Did the studio get sued by Universal for that I wonder #monsterdon
@ramsey š¢
#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:
Karen next door is going to report them for not getting a building permit.
Aww. His alien friend really helped out! #Monsterdon
Alien pager. Wonder what that's worth in a pre-cellphone era.
#Monsterdon #Critters
@RobynGoodfellow @Cherizilla Ironic that "Fiery Explosion" is unchecked lol
@forestine I can only assume the dance remix is up next. #Monsterdon
NEXT LET"S DO YETI
@CactuarJoe PHRASING #monsterdon
Yeah, no, that's not happening #monsterdon
@SnoopJ we've already rolled over to it in my home! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Man, this one just about had it all. Thanks @Taweret and @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 š
@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?
@plantago Fourth time for the house, seventh for the barn. I knew lots of that kid growing up. #monsterdon
@Louisa just like Terminator 2 #Monsterdon
This closing theme is midway in between "Casio demo button" and "the '80s were a helluva drug". I kinda like it.
@jonny there are 4 sequels to this i think #monsterdon
oh no critter eggs. At least it won't be April giving birth to them.
Goodnight Monsternation. Monsterville? Monstervania? Monstera? You guys.
#monsterdon that was a good time, guys, thanks for sharing.
#Monsterdon But what about the BOWL-O-RAMA?
Did the aliens fix that too?
And now #SplendaDaddy is putting on #Critters2 before we go to sleep. #Monsterdon
@socketwench Also, the lady that was laying on the organ when it got fired upon.
#monsterdon hell yeah, classic 80s creature feature credit music!
god i can't wait until we've invented house unexploding technology #monsterdon
#monsterdon You're a good man, shapeshifting bounty hunter who assumed the form of fictional pop star Johnny Steele. #Critters1986
@socketwench Not quite. The dork from New York died.
Another #monsterdon in the bag and another 85 minutes you'll never get back, folks! I hope you had fun. #monsterdon
I kinda want to roll the sequel, which I haven't seen. Anybody feel like a #WrongFrogs second showing?
Edit: abort! Boss is workin' on what might be a streak: https://timeloop.cafe/@Taweret/114135783483841331
Next week Critters 2? #Monsterdon
@OliviaVespera In this economy? #Monsterdon
@ricci I know, it feels so weird
Bird Flu eggs. Don't eat those. That was awesome stupid fun. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon #Critters
And now, THE FIFTEENTH INSTANCE OF OUR LICENSED THEME SONG!!!
BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!
...didn't you? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon "I drove all night~" I'm loving the credits music
AND THE GOOD FARM DAD MADE IIIIIIITTT #monsterdon
I don't think he is good with his hands in any way.
so.... I guess Sis never makes it to NYC, huh? #monsterdon
and in case you didn't get enough of that song the first 20 times... #monsterdon
Tubi automatically starting the sequel, like, "We KNOW that wasn't enough...."
These things look like Klingon wigs with teeth
C'mon movie, give April some agency the way the early scenes she was in were promising #monsterdon
Wow, they all survived.
the closing music is straight up much better than the hairmetal band music
Sequel setup 3, 2, 1...
pretty cool effects, maybe like half an idea #monsterdon
Sequel setup confirmed.
#Monsterdon of course there are eggs!
3... 2... 1... "Or is it?!!"
Oh, here's the sequel hook. But hey, that was amazing! :neofox_comfy_happy: #monsterdon
okay, the undo button is pretty sweet. #monsterdon
Dad is going to get space rabies #monsterdon
@brooke Especially the "cow farmers" --city dad #Monsterdon
Bad news is, now you need to spay the mailbox. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Glad the cat wasn't recombined with the house. "We couldn't tell what it was or where it went".
I'd have a Bingo by now, if the parents were clueless, but I don't think they were very clueless.
I think Chui only got 3 more lives left. #monsterdon
Kitty!
anyway, I would get the house inspected before re-occupying it, guys
Who stuffed this cat into the mailbox?
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
Or maybe the cat didn't...
no it did
#monsterdon
#monsterdon Has anyone been keeping track which of his or her 9 lives Chewie is on?
