Nothing as boring as having your kid tell you he saw a spaceship crash I guess
βHow do you expect me to become an astronaut, if you wonβt let me stay up late?β
As we all know, astronauting is a profession known for staying out late at night.
Lots of familiar looking sets! But no twin beds π #Monsterdon
@amyfou YES i noticed that too! #monsterdon
Not only did they build the tract over an ancient burial ground, they've installed disco lighting at the stadium.
Not quite so keen on being an astronaut now #monsterdon
ok, the kid from the 50s version looked a lot less goofy
#monsterdon
Thatβs a child actor razzie right there #monsterdon
Unexpected ball lightning discussion
#Monsterdon the martians have a perfectly quarry-shaped spaceship
Practical effects ftw #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986
@amyfou I was waiting for an SNL commercial to break out when I saw her on screen. #Monsterdon
After the Martians are done with him he just turns into a normal, neglectful suburban dad.
"Sorry, junior, but I don't have time to participate in your hobbies any more."

THAT IS THE EXACT SAME PATH AND FENCE THO
M & M product placement
See, these martians are making a much splashier landing.
#monsterdon - like, this movie takes the idea of a remake/homage and kind of gets a little weird with it, that front of the house shot, the weird soundstage fencepath leading back to the thing, it's uncanny...
okay this si seriously like the beginning of xtro lmao wtf
This is better production quality than I'm used to heckling
#Monsterdon Do you think it's the original fence?
Huh, aliens landing in one of those plasma balls from Hammacher-Schlemmer #Monsterdon
that's a wild ship design #monsterdon
This family is too loving and happy. I'm suspicious.
#monsterdon Ready the kids bed. Playboy, Hustler, and copies of damp issues of Playgirl spill out. Ho ho ho! What a scamp!
weird thunderstorm #monsterdon
Weather changed on a dime
so we are departing from the vibe of the 60's version of invaders from mars by being able to express masculine parental affection so there is actually some discernible difference between bodysnatched dad and regular dad
#monsterdon
mister peanut you've changed
@jonny Ooh good, thank you! I won't test the potential tolerance of our instance-mates tonight.
(will untag you after this)
USED TO COLLECT COPPER PENNIES FOR PENNY STRETCHING MACHINES ROLL CALL
This house is next to some sort of cemetery, isn't it?

Oh right we know the spoiler already -- or do we??
Yuck, Timothy Bottoms. Why you using your sexy voice to tell your boy you love him? #Monsterdon
hey, this looks like what we had around here the other night. #Helene #monsterdon
It was a dark and stormy night #monsterdon
That kidβs bedroom was prime 80s movie kid bedroom #monsterdon
@north I'm just gonna say yes
Looks like a Mercer Sphere from #Satisfactory .
Every child who has ever been gifted a collectible coin responds with the same feigned enthusiastic "Wow! Thanks!" #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Stan is a good enough reason to watch
@rberlim (and dad's cardigan...)
This kid really likes pennies!
And these are the longest intro credits Iβve seen yet for #Monsterdon. The movie will be over before the credits finish.
I am digging the Mr Rogers sweater.
give him a penny and the kid goes right to bed. cheap. #monsterdon
@Taweret IMDB says she was nominated for the Razzie for worst supporting actress in this, so I have high hopes #monsterdon
And the movie comes out swinging with A Starry Sky! β
Timothy Bottoms also knows what ball lightning is.
OMG the spotlight on the M&Ms....
@RamenCatholic can confirm, it is good
I got it from my favorite grocery store, they do pretty good soups/chili
#Monsterdon I want that penny. GIVE.
Gosh, I envy this kid toys!
#monsterdon
I don't remember quite as much swearing in the original
@ramsey i hate that they added ads. i am actually watching on tubi because it had a shorter ad preroll than amazon, which i pay for! #monsterdon
Not watching #monsterdon tonight but I think I'll make some coffee, sit down, and read along anyway!
oop accidentally left the @monsterdon version on private, here it is: https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/krsLK1LZY8xz2TZ4ojDnGv
#monsterdon
I stay up suuuuper late. Does that mean I'm an astronaut?
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
Oh no they're using Laraine as the mom? They better give her something good to do...

#Monsterdon this font is WILD
is this gonna turn into xtro this is too much like the beginning of xtro
#Monsterdon cool dad lets kid drop an sh-bomb without comment
This is the Tobe Hooper movie with the chainsaw guy, right? #monsterdon
This guy looks like discount Peter McNicol #monsterdon
Not gonna lie, I saw this like a hundred times when I was a kid, but I haven't seen it this century #monsterdon
Mom was probably cleaning up after you two and that's why she missed it
John needs to take a rest, man, and let the credits people do their job. #monsterdon
Ooh. A creature designer. #Monsterdon
root post for #monsterdon
Can I make my own root post for #monsterdon and not flood the local feed? I guess we're about to find out!
(sorry in advance neuromatch users if I screw this up)
Dang, an 80s movie wasting a "shit" this early in the film!
#monsterdon They didn't even mix it up, left-swoop, right-swoop, missing the glory of Space Invaders!
Simultaneous #snf and #Monsterdon is our weekly capacity test of your local instance service. Letβs go!
#Monsterdon I'm watching you (2.5 mins behind)
Hangin' with Mr. Hooper #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe ooh thanks for the reminder
Once you've seen one giant red name fly through space, you've seen them all. #monsterdon
Oh shoot, missed the #monsterdon launch. I'll have to fast forward through the credits.

Not *that* Richard Blake, I'm guessing
Because of Laraine Newman I am already assuming it is going to be a comedy sketch.
The title credits going *swoosh* as they glide through space already tells me a lot about what to expect from this #Monsterdon
painting my nails as I watch #monsterdon
The credit sound effects could be a good candidate for electric car sound effects
Well, the titles are exciting. #monsterdon
Stan Winston. I knew there was a big name making the alien muppets in this one. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986
For a moment I was "Weird, I'm having deja vu - I'm sure I've seen this movie"
But then I realized that they must have changed something in The Matrix.
Off to a strong start with titles that look like they were generated by the fancy text tool in LibreOffice.

I could watch this forever
#monsterdon
I thought my stream on Amazon Prime Video was ad-free. Iβm waiting through 6 ads before I can start watching #InvadersFromMars1986. Bleh. #Monsterdon
invader creatures designed by : Stan Winston. so if we need someone to blame in an hour or so... #monsterdon
Bud Cort *and* Louise Fletcher, hot crackers! #monsterdon
Wait. Who did the music for this? Why do I feel like I'm watching the intro for Total Recall all of a sudden?
STAN WINSTON!!! YOOOOOO!
I feel like my Playstation controller should be getting used for something during this.
Star Wars has nothing on these opening credits
shwooping opening credits #monsterdon
The credits...
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars
I don't remember seeing this in 3D in the theater, but these titles scream 3D
if this was edited by somebody then WHY IS IT SO FUCKING LONG
