Not only did they build the tract over an ancient burial ground, they've installed disco lighting at the stadium.

#Monsterdon

Not quite so keen on being an astronaut now #monsterdon

ok, the kid from the 50s version looked a lot less goofy
#monsterdon

That’s a child actor razzie right there #monsterdon

Unexpected ball lightning discussion

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the martians have a perfectly quarry-shaped spaceship

The kids 'shocked expression' is not selling it to me, did that spaceship have an eye?

#monsterdon

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."

#Monsterdon

M & M product placement

See, these martians are making a much splashier landing.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

THAT IS THE EXACT SAME PATH AND FENCE THO

okay this si seriously like the beginning of xtro lmao wtf

#monsterdon

#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...

This is better production quality than I'm used to heckling

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#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

#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

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars

mister peanut you've changed

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

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

@jonny Ooh good, thank you! I won't test the potential tolerance of our instance-mates tonight.

(will untag you after this)

#Monsterdon

USED TO COLLECT COPPER PENNIES FOR PENNY STRETCHING MACHINES ROLL CALL

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

This house is next to some sort of cemetery, isn't it?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Oh right we know the spoiler already -- or do we??

#alternativeEndings

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 kid’s bedroom was prime 80s movie kid bedroom #monsterdon

@north I'm just gonna say yes

#Monsterdon

Looks like a Mercer Sphere from #Satisfactory .

#monsterdon

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...)

#monsterdon

And these are the longest intro credits I’ve seen yet for #Monsterdon. The movie will be over before the credits finish.

This kid really likes pennies!

#Monsterdon

I am digging the Mr Rogers sweater.

#Monsterdon

Chekov's mint penny. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

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

The vibe of this scene is totally "framing story of Princess Bride".

I almost expect the kid to go "Is this a kissing book?!"

#Monsterdon

And the movie comes out swinging with A Starry Sky! ✅

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Timothy Bottoms also knows what ball lightning is.

#Monsterdon

@Louisa only from the audience, my friend

only from the audience

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

OMG the spotlight on the M&Ms....

#monsterdon

@RamenCatholic can confirm, it is good

I got it from my favorite grocery store, they do pretty good soups/chili

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I want that penny. GIVE.

Gosh, I envy this kid toys!
#monsterdon

I don't remember quite as much swearing in the original

#Monsterdon

@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 #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

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

#Monsterdon cool dad lets kid drop an sh-bomb without comment

This guy looks like discount Peter McNicol #monsterdon

This is the Tobe Hooper movie with the chainsaw guy, right? #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

#Monsterdon

Mom was probably cleaning up after you two and that's why she missed it

Ooh. A creature designer. #Monsterdon

John needs to take a rest, man, and let the credits people do their job. #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

#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. Let’s go!

#Monsterdon I'm watching you (2.5 mins behind)

Hangin' with Mr. Hooper #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe ooh thanks for the reminder

#Monsterdon

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.

Mistah HOOPAH mistah HOOPAH

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Not *that* Richard Blake, I'm guessing

Because of Laraine Newman I am already assuming it is going to be a comedy sketch.

#Monsterdon

The title credits going *swoosh* as they glide through space already tells me a lot about what to expect from this #Monsterdon

The credit sound effects could be a good candidate for electric car sound effects

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

painting my nails as I watch #monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

Dan O'Bannon

wtf

#monsterdon

Off to a strong start with titles that look like they were generated by the fancy text tool in LibreOffice.

#monsterdon

I could watch this forever
#monsterdon

I thought my stream on Amazon Prime Video was ad-free. I’m 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?

#monsterdon

STAN WINSTON!!! YOOOOOO!

#monsterdon

I feel like my Playstation controller should be getting used for something during this.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Star Wars has nothing on these opening credits

#monsterdon

shwooping opening credits #monsterdon

The credits...
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I don't remember seeing this in 3D in the theater, but these titles scream 3D

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

if this was edited by somebody then WHY IS IT SO FUCKING LONG

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Tobe Hooper went on to direct Cats (2019)
