dude shut the fuck up

#monsterdon

So they are Bene Gesserit? #Monsterdon

They speak Klingon!

#Monsterdon

their native language is AWESOME #monsterdon

Useless trivia: dude with the eyebrows co-wrote ALLIGATOR (1980) with John Sayles (PIRANHA). #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #InvasionoftheStarCreatures1962 "Let's go, brain." The best advice so far.

Legitimately shocked that these bozos are working out an idea to get out of this cave

#Monsterdon

"I'm gonna try for the Olympics as a marathon runner" *immediately lights cigar* #monsterdon

@msh

They needed to use every inch of film they shot...and it is still only an hour.

#Monsterdon

I have news for you, dude. This is not kissing.

Like Cyberpunk 2077 had more realistic kissing.

#monsterdon

I've seen some unsexy screen kisses in my time....

#monsterdon

is men being way shorter than women like very funny in 1962 or something or why are they so gigantic #monsterdon

yeah, jeez dude, you already have a "roommate," and now you're cheating on him right in front of him. how rude. #monsterdon

You all are embarrassing me
#monsterdon

Personally, I'm enjoying this 1,000x more than the Bee Girls.

#Monsterdon

Wow what a great female wrestler you'd make!

Yeah, and then she could fight an Aztec mummy.
#monsterdon

yeah, is there a mummy she could wrestle? that would definitely be a better movie. #monsterdon

Careful, it could be a booby trap

I'll show myself out again...

#Monsterdon

Sinatra! I know that reference!

#monsterdon

Were these all first takes?

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #🌟

the vegetable monsters remind me of David S Pumpkins' backup dancers #monsterdon

....ooff Vegiman oppressors!

#monsterdon

I think this might be a Cagney impersonation?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Starship's fanfare was epic!

Oh no the vegemen broke that pre-broken table!!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Should we wait for the Vegimen to start threeways and spitroasts? No? Perhaps a cutting, or maybe a graft? Teehee.

Reed was reading her lines.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the aliens' "we're just saving your planet from itself" case gets better all the time, not gonna lie

They're just gonna keep doing the back and forth in the cave gag.

#monsterdon

If you travelled 600 million light years to find a new planet to live on you're being very picky, that's like many galaxies over...

#monsterdon

Ohhhh!!!!! This is where Futurama got it from!!!

Death by Snu Snu!!!

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

"That's the first time a salad ever tossed me."

MAKE IT STOP!

#Monsterdon

please kill me

#monsterdon

@jsadow A niche I didn't know I had until Monsterdon.

thanks?

#monsterdon

I love when aliens in these movies refer to "your years".

#monsterdon

#monsterdon see, we know that "the brain scanner fails on an empty brain" joke *can* work because Pinky and the Brain did it, in their homage to The Prisoner

I want her to say the name of their device that transfers knowledge again. That was hilarious!

#Monsterdon

Waiting for him to show up

#monsterdon

POONTANG DO YOU GET IT

#Monsterdon

It was the multi-room hallway scene briefly from the French farce genre. Commendable effort not particularly successful

#monsterdon

so anyway, I started blasting #monsterdon

MONSTER CORPSE

I think? I'm not too keen on trusting anything spouted by any of these characters.

Ah, yes, shambling around like a proper rubber suit monster, definitely not dead. Things are looking up!!

#monsterdon

Is this monster a monster or one of the soldiers goofing?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Did they just have sex? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch There is a disappointing lack of coffee in this movie. Although, at this point in #InvasionoftheStarCreatures1962 I think we'd all need an Irish Coffee.

This kind of comedy shoud be banned by the Vienna Convention.
#monsterdon

@ottaross I think you could say that about other classic comedies too - like, someone mentioned Airplane, I was also thinking Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther... it's probably only a matter of time before we see a proto-Mr. Bean (maybe that's the silent parts)

#Monsterdon

Ugh, could we please have some kind of threat instead of all this very weak physical comedy!

#monsterdon

I think that snake stock footage was used in a bunch of other movies and possibly Manos, correct me if I’m wrong #monsterdon

oh! are these "actors" actually aliens and this is a whole metatextual thing where the aliens are trying to portray humans?

#monsterdon

Don't mock him because he values Life, fucking Settler colonial society...

#monsterdon

My computer was acting slow so I cleared cookies and started watching on my phone. Anyway.

As wacky as this movie has been so far it's...not very good. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon poor snakey

This movie shows why democracy has failed.
#monsterdon

12 minutes in, we are still in comedy mode

#monsterdon

It's like watching the improv 101 class that failed. #monsterdon

this is the best scene because no one is saying anything

#monsterdon

#monsterdon This army is incredibly gay. I love this. Everyones a sweetie darling. We've got unusual joint capacity which suggests that one of those privates doesn't have a problem getting to his... uh... parts. ;)

A big hole, a huge cave, with "intelligence stuff" - sounds like #Monsterdon to me

"I don't think he likes me!" Yeah I don't like you either.

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

colonel, I'm going to have to ask you to shut the fuck up please

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Feels about like that. I'd probably have been busting a gut laughing as an eight year old. lol

#monsterdon

@RamenCatholic @wohali@octodon.social can't believe they would censor farts, would accepting the existence of farts have been Communism are or something?

#monsterdon

Remember film cameras? Remember how expensive film was, how you coveted that last few shots?

They spent money for actual film on this.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

That is the worst theremin playing I've ever heard, and I used to be the booth babe for a theremin company at trade shows.

#monsterdon

I am very much enjoying the military yucks. Are they physically painful? Yes. Do I love them anyway? Yes.

#Monsterdon

okay this is painful. I need aliens or something

#monsterdon

You can tell it's a comedy because everyone is speaking with a squeaky-jokey voice.

#monsterdon

Early use of “capiche”! #monsterdon

@TerryHancock i was like 'why did the trash bin sound like a raygun' and then i started thinking about... maybe metal reverb actually sounds like that??

#monsterdon

#monsterdon His unlikely anatomy in a metal can, and his ass on fire, it was begging for a fart joke but they just didn't have the balls for it. ZAZ would have done that gag. This movie is written by a dart board full of lame jokes.

#Monsterdon
That trashcan made something pretty close to the "photon torpedo" sound effect. A lot of cartoon noises, too.

Is this just going to be straight-up comedy..?

Cartoon physics and physical abuse

#monsterdon

NCO stands for beatNik Cool Officer

#Monsterdon

I was not expecting the score for the opening credits to be, essentially, Metal Machine Music.

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

There's always a surly, abusive one and his prank monkey, who is usually neuro-divergent or uneducated and exploited by the surly one.

They think up of schemes and really should not be in whatever institution they are in

#monsterdon

Already rooting for the monster (There isn't on... ALREADY ROOTING FOR THE MONSTER #MonsterDon

HOLD MY CIGAR

#Monsterdon

Philbrick should've followed the Russian dog. To death.

#monsterdon

Why are there only 2 stooges? #monsterdon

"Physical comedy" on the bingo card was a wise call @Cherizilla

#Monsterdon

It's a goofball's life in the army

#Monsterdon

lol, the chemicals they are playing with will give them cancer, this IS comedy....a harsh European comedy....

#monsterdon

The credits do not appear to be taking themselves very seriously.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

You think your #AI is hot shit? See if it can tell you what this week's #monsterdon lady said. Cuz the natural intelligence creatures (us) are not quite sure.
https://infosec.exchange/@paco/113937955949896774

@paco @TerryHancock @ohiofi At the time it felt like the were trying way too hard, but in hindsight I think the flick peaked there.

#monsterdon

@kopio

The name may be the best thing about this movie.

It deserved a much better movie.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai @floatybirb I'm sure you're right! But it seemed so specific in the moment, having already done an extended comedy bit centered around the Geiger counter sound effect, it seemed like they were setting up a gag for later

with the benefit of hindsight, the better explanation is "lazy Foley artist"

#monsterdon

Nowhere to go but up. #Monsterdon

@ramsey @Bluedepth Or we could just do a half-assed job to make things easier. Tough choice #monsterdon

On Letterboxd I gave it one and a half stars because I was feeling generous, and explain why in my review https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/invasion-of-the-star-creatures/ #monsterdon

@paco This was my favorite line of the film, too.

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @Bluedepth I'm not very good at sportsing, but I think brackets would work really well for this. However, we'd need a way to seed the starting brackets properly.

#Monsterdon

@superball This was the right one to miss 😂

#monsterdon

@diazona @SordidAmok maybe they also alternate generations like other plants and will someday give birth to a lovely little corpse of tiny, tiny ferns

#monsterdon

@foolishowl @kimlockhartga haha yes

Normally I post a Nyah meme every week (alien curtain vixen's name is Nyah) but somebody else had it covered this time 😀

#Monsterdon

@moira @rwg @RufusJCooter hey, if it pays! 🤷‍♂️

#monsterdon

@amyfou @paco @Newpa_Hasai Yeah same... I mean, I suppose I do see this as being in the same category as Spaceballs or Airplane (albeit much lower quality than those two), but none of them appeal to me.

Galaxy Quest I would argue is different in an important way.

#Monsterdon

@ramsey @Bluedepth How do we set up a poll with all of them, hypothetically? Or do we need brackets? #monsterdon

@ohiofi this hits a little different after seeing how that movie turned out 😂

#Monsterdon
