@Taweret@octodon.social I voted for Frogs
#monsterdon

Oh okay are we doing racism to the veggie aliens is that what we're going to do in this movie?

#Monsterdon

They're pretty spot on with the state of Men though in this movie, I'll give them that

#monsterdon

This guy is the least convincing straight man I've ever met. #Monsterdon

Artie! The strongest MAN… in the world #invasionofthestarcreatures #monsterdon

Oh my god are they too stupid to mind-read reliably

#Monsterdon

Okay, these guys being too dumb for the mind reading machine to work *is* funny

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Surprising me further, there are two radioactive scarecrows, and they encounter the main Dullards who are taking a nap after eating their turkey. They are captured and dragged into some extremely well lit spaceship, where we meet two Dames who are from space who command the Space Scarecrows and come from a planet several hundred million light years away.

#monsterdon #invasionofthestarcreatures

Women tall enough to put an eye out with those bullet bras, perfection

#Monsterdon

they're quite tall

well

for once i do not mind the writer's barely-concealed fetish

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

"the dames"

they are people and they have names buddy.

#monsterdon

Abduction! Watch out for your cornhole buddy #monsterdon

Oh dear fuck, is that supposed to be the Creature?

I did a 6th Form Communication project in the 90s with better production values

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Carrot monsters. Fine. This is like trying to do musical appreciation of Muzak in an elevator.

Did Philbrick and Pongo have sex?

#monsterdon

Maybe the creatures will make this better...
maybe the ending will make this better...
#monsterdon

I am in the minority on this one I guess but I am having fun with this so far. It's stupid but it's *supposed* to be stupid, even for its era.

We'll see about the problematic bits I guess.

#Monsterdon

Enough with the running back and forth gag.

#monsterdon

Some movies should try to take themselves seriously, this is good example

#monsterdon

really getting the most out of that stage, aren't they?

#monsterdon

Groot confirmed #monsterdon

lol, who eats chicken like that, and why are we watching them eat chicken.

Are we going Absurdist?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon These army men have better adherence to quarantine and safety regulations, way more than any other more serious sci-fi film. That is not saying a lot.

Okay the unruly backpack guys are the scene stealers so far.

#monsterdon

Every time these two take off their hats it makes me think of this old Onion article. #monsterdon

I hope the monster horribly disembowels all of them

#monsterdon

Maybe Stanley Kubrick saw this movie and made Dr. Strangelove to prove something.

#Monsterdon

Okay, the dance-walking made me laugh. Soooooo dumb. 😂 #monsterdon

Too bad Dad’s at Sunday dinner— he was a teenager when it came out so he’d be able to tell me whether it would have been funny or stupid even back then #monsterdon

i am so glad i am not watching this alone. thanks #monsterdon folks!

#monsterdon Not the colonel, but almost:

What a fresh take on “Brevity is the soul of wit” #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

"Nukulear devastation"

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

If I wanted meat puppets to send to certain death in Space, I think it would be these two.

Is this how it worked back then?

#monsterdon

I just can't keep watching this one. Five minutes of my life already wasted on it is enough. #Monsterdon

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!

#monsterdon
#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

@SordidAmok I guess they could have been vegiwomen or non-binary vegetable-like creatures or who knows

Maybe their race naturally has four genders and only certain pairings work for reproduction

#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

some info on the scenes that were missing in the shorter version: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/monsterkidclassichorrorforum/viewtopic.php?p=753774#p753774

#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

okay, wow. it's time to go watch Shawshank Redemption or something, this movie was VILE. #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

Robot Monster needs to come out and kill EVERYONE. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

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
