All cops are beatniks?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon ...the quality of the comedy in this introduction sequence is, uh, really something, isn't it

😬

First Pop Culture reference...'Howdy Doody Time'

Wasn't that mentioned in Pulp Fiction?

These characters can both be killed by the Aliens, I hope they aren't the main characters

#monsterdon

Bam, right to the moon! Thanks Futurama for my getting that?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

It's humour from another age.

#monsterdon

Launching a #monsterdon thread for #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures, some movie where I guess aliens invade or something. Monsterdon is a thing where we watch an old monster movie every week and make fun of it. Mute the thread if that's not your thing, I guess.

Worst bugs bunny cartoon ever #monsterdon #invasionofthestarcreatures

The yucks, they have begun

#Monsterdon

BTW it took two guys, Jack and Elliott, to coms up with this annoying electronic noise for this based on a true story based on base Nicholson

#monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Discussion of nuclear weapons while showing a surface to air(?) missile, huh.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

#Monsterdon

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

@JW You deserve to be punished. 50 lashes with a wet spagetti. That was seriously the worst. I mean, the Giant Claw at least had coffee. And Tentacles had hats. This had... the electro hoffala groffala metric and not much else.
#monsterdon

@SordidAmok I am reliably informed by @steggy that this is "Colonel Bogey's March"

#monsterdon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Bogey_March

@ohiofi @paco

It is simultaneously the worst and best line from this film, according to Poe's Law.

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb @RufusJCooter I thought it was a joke about "sparks flying" and that the guys were either good lovers or the women so naive that they were smitten.

#monsterdon

@allanb @rwg @moira @Lazarou

THAT'S OUR HITLER!!!

thought he looked familiar, but I'd never have guessed

#monsterdon

@superball

#monsterdon

I forgot about Monsterdon until a few minutes ago. From y’all’s comments, I think I don’t want to know . . . . 😬

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @rwg @RufusJCooter As played by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Shawn and yes, that guy, who was doing the beatnik-in-the-wrong-role thing for a solid decade as a shtick.

(he also did other things of course)

#monsterdon

@floatybirb But why did kissing the Amazon space dommes set off the Geiger counters?

like, that could have been comedy gold, if they just attached it to a punchline, but... nothing?

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok @MCDuncanLab well I am British so that explains the confusion....

#monsterdon

@RufusJCooter @Lazarou I'm bummed I forgot about the army sergeant beatnik; definitely one of the better side characters in this dumpster movie. #monsterdon

@Lazarou I don't know if they would though. They would like the theme of bumbling dumbasses asserting the value of patriarchy, and the unbeckoned racist interlude, but the movie might just be too silly for most of them to like.

#monsterdon

@annathepiper @randy_s Yeah this is painfully terrible

and also racist, but even without that it's painfully terrible

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou Woah woah woah.. let's not get ahead of ourselves. Movies like Godmonster of Indian Flats are in no way good, but they're AMAZING #monsterdon films.

@floatybirb i ultimately had a good #monsterdon time, but i can't actually gauge much from that because i'm feeling strong 'any port in a storm' re: distractions right now

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou @RobynGoodfellow We all just have to understand that some people know what they did

and they need to think about what they've done

and never do it again

#monsterdon

Missing most of the live commenting on #Monsterdon due to nap related shenanigans however I’m here and will be about an hour behind!

@lysdexic I felt a little rush when it ended #monsterdon

@Taweret This is the inspiring leadership I'm here for

#monsterdon

@Lazarou @TerryHancock @lytta I don't really do parties but I'd do this one

#monsterdon

The thing about this life business is you can learn from everything. Now I know if I ever need to kiss a large woman to prove to her that carnal pleasure is more important than conquering the earth, I can stand on a "chair" that's actually just a volleyball balanced atop a wire sculpture to reach her lips. #monsterdon

@MCDuncanLab Sigh, I know what you mean 😔

#Monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole Straight up, I couldn't even find much to riff on actually within the story/characters/plot such as it was. I got like _two_ lines off the entire time.

Everything else was about the meta around it. So fucking terrible on so many levels.

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

“500 years ago on the planet Zeist” ah yes, soothe my soul, glorious dialogue #monsterdon

I think we officially found another Star Wars Holiday Special-caliber train wreck https://xkcd.com/653/

(spaceship wreck?)

#Monsterdon

Bad in whole new ways. 60’s spoofing and stereotypes rather than 70’s cheese. But at last, The end. #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag yes, pity us. We're still watching. #Monsterdon
@bunnyhero

let's talk about why we voted for what we voted for.

i think i voted for 'slithis' because the name sounds intriguingly weird

#monsterdon

OK, that... um, I don't know what to say about that.

The reviews were accurate, the "comedy" was hella problematic when it wasn't just bad.

I found 2 marginal laughs, but didn't feel good about being unable to supress them.

I'm praying we can all make better choices next week.

Regardless, thanks for sharing in this disturbing experience, and thank you as always @Taweret for hosting.

#monsterdon

Wow…That was awful. It even kinda wrapped up, no sudden ending. WTF?
#monsterdon.

Well, if it weren't for artifacts like this, we wouldn't realize how racist we used to be and how far we've co—

Oh, shit.

#Monsterdon

Penn and Philbrick did such a great job saving Earth that they cancelled army for the rest of the week as a treat

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "what's marriage?" "when a boy and girl get hitched, and she belongs to nobody but him." "like slaves?" "yeah, like slaves" 😬

We have gazed into the abyss, and it has gazed also into us. #monsterdon

I need a palate cleanser

#monsterdon

And so Our Heroes fucked off into ........the Suburbs, and their Highly Paid Civilian Jobs.

Ok, Boomers!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's still irking me that there were so many round rocks at the top of the hill. Every round rock after that reminds me and I'm irritated all over again.

oh no oh no the amazon version has ten more minutes

#monsterdon

Aw, did they turn the professors into tradwives? how disappointing #monsterdon

I thought we had made it to the end without more racism, but I was wrong.

#Monsterdon

OH WE GOT A LITTLE RACISM LEFT IN US

#monsterdon

oh god it just keeps going

#monsterdon

Stock footage of soldiers… whyyy bother (oh yeah… stretching the time out) #monsterdon

Wait, all those other characters were alive the whole time?

Oh dear fuck, they using the women as mules.....the fucking Patriarchy

#monsterdon

once again, the writer's barely concealed fetish

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

We saved the world, because... of an arbitrary space nonsense thing.

#Monsterdon

i don't know if it's the booze, or because i'm so glad we're finally out of the racism scenes, that i actually found the random sound effects at the control panel kind of amusing? #monsterdon

Oh no, they found the sound board!

#monsterdon

Is the conclusion of this travesty going to involve getting the Giantesses drunk?

#monsterdon

Holy racism. Are they gonna bring in more races for mistreatment? Or devote it all to Native Americans?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon you know what would improve this movie right now?

piranhas

Props to @bstacey

I wish there were more weird sounding alien languages coming from obviously human mouths, feels like a tribute to dear old David Lynch...

Please, lets move on from those Racial caricatures, please for the love of what's left of this century, please...

#monsterdon

If they were actually high when they made this movie they would have made a much better movie.

#Monsterdon

How is there still 12 minutes‽
#monsterdon

What the fuck is happening?

#Monsterdon

what am I watching

#Monsterdon
#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

remember: it's too early for hippies, but it's not too early for pot.

(it's never too early for pot)

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

@diazona lol "did we all get high after meeting some lads in the park?"

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Pretty sure the movie also forgot the main plot

#Monsterdon

Kill them!

#monsterdon

This movie feels like it was made in the 90s by high schoolers who watched too much Monty Python.

So my friends. What I'm saying is it feels like it was made by my friends, as teenagers.

#monsterdon

the worst thing is they probably thought this depiction of Native Americans was progressive...

#monsterdon

Why do they have to stop the rocket???

Just let them leave! I WISH I COULD LEAVE!

#invasionofthestarcreatures #monsterdon

I was hoping against hope the Native Americans would have the sense to kill the rest of these guys and take over the movie and maybe turn it into something less terrible

but nope

it got worse

#Monsterdon

White folk in America, whose the real Invader from Beyond? Hmmmmm

Did the colonel just say "the White man won the west?!"

They have every right to kill the white folk now.

#monsterdon

@Taweret Yeah I think you avoided the racism.

#monsterdon

Oh no. Oh no. #monsterdon

Philbrick, Robert Ball, was also in Easy Rider. Penn, Frank Ray Perilli, was in Dracula's Dog, which wasn't as famous as Easy Rider.

#monsterdon

@springdiesel @lytta @Lazarou I think it was just done by film editing #monsterdon

This is just a Beetle Bailey comic

#Monsterdon

Oh my gods, this scene is the cringiest #TheWritersBarelyDisguisedFetish we've had yet.

#Monsterdon better not awaken something inside me. Again.

Got interrupted, is it worth finishing the movie?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

OMG! They're both members of the cereal box ring club.

#Monsterdon

Please stop these men from speaking. #Monsterdon

@jadebees yup—and real unrehearsed #monsterdon

He seems like a Sec Def candidate tbh. #Monsterdon

There's still 20 minutes left #Monsterdon

This movie is a prequel to Veggie Tales? #Monsterdon

@Lazarou honestly i was thinking it looks like it would be fun to be a vegiman

#monsterdon

sluggaaaaa

myaaa seee sluggaaaaa

#Monsterdon

This feels like a "one take" movie

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This movie could have been improved by amusing intertextuality with Stepford Wives and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

@Lazarou nothing about this movie rocks ar ar ar ar ar ar help me god help me tell my outie i want to resign

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

I still have no idea which one is Penn and which is Teller, er I mean Philbrick #monsterdon

Hahahahahaha! He pushed one of the boulders too easily, and then made a face, bit his fingers, and kept going.

#Monsterdon

I feel like the boulder rolling scene is satirizing Star Trek TOS long before that series even aired #monsterdon

one must imagine Sisyphus happy #monsterdon

this scene needs a coyote

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon
