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. ;)

5 mile diameter crater. That's a lot of megatons.

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

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

It's #monsterdon time – and we're into ads. Sigh.

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.

@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

Good call on the bingo card given that a lot of it was random guessing though! @Cherizilla

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@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

@RufusJCooter @Lazarou Even that was a ripoff of someone else. Let me look it up, but - the comedian is in the original The Producers

#monsterdon

good lord that forum thread is over 100 posts long and spans 14 years #monsterdon

@Lazarou We did get the stereotype of the... army sergeant beatnik?

#monsterdon

@ramsey @davesdogmaggie You mean that domain is available? [checks] It is! #monsterdon

@floatybirb lol...and it went on for so long too! #monsterdon

@apLundell

Bob and Frank?
Ray and Ball?

heh...yeah they were trying very hard to be Abbot and Costello..like way too hard. This #Monsterdon really did feel like a sort of pilot for a TV series or movie franchise of that sort, but the timing was waaaay off...they were lookingto replicate something that was already long passe in the 1960s which is one of the big reasons why it fell flat I think

@davesdogmaggie I didn't vote for four years of it. In either case #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow @Lazarou Godmonster....good times <sniff> #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie In my defense, there is no "Star Creatures dot Social" website where the movie posts and tells me exactly what to expect when it wins.

#Monsterdon

I think "Mission Stardust" might be a good #monsterdon pick.

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou @RobynGoodfellow oh I wouldn't go that far

that's some baby with the bathwater right there

#monsterdon

@Lazarou @RobynGoodfellow Let us resolve we shall only pick non-stinkers henceforth #monsterdon

“Total garbage.” - Lloyd Kaufman. #Monsterdon

I can't even write a wrap-up toot, my brain is too broken

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! Never has it been so patently obvious that the quality of the movie and the quality of the viewing experience are not correlated.

#Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this grueling gaffe! I understand that others voted for it.

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: The hero is an ass.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: We have bonded over the shared trauma of watching this movie, and with the knowledge that there is not a palate cleanser in the world that will help us.

🚨 Reminder: There is cool Monsterdon Gear here!:

@lytta @Lazarou

And at least, you don't have to show your face, while associating with this production... :kermit:

#Monsterdon

This movie just admitted marriage is slavery, it's too woke #monsterdon

O pointy boobs
O pointy pointy
Anoint my head
Anointy nointy

#monsterdon

Apologies to Steve Martin

@eigen @moira

... so we're not all SPACE PALS now? *sob*
#Monsterdon

@allanb The Intro music is nice ear bleach #monsterdon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Poi-qvJ-9mY

Dr. Puna, the blonde? Still alive

#Monsterdon

It also says that Dolores Reed (Professor Tanga) died the year after this film. No one should have something like this as their legacy #monsterdon

So they bumbled around and accidentally dispatched the star creatures ship and foiled the plans of the tall ladies and tree men and seduced the ladies and effed off in a fancy car

THE END

Can't say I enjoyed the gratuitous racism (sounds like I picked the worst edit of this #Monsterdon ) but it is certainly a product if it's time. Otherwise it would've been OK I suppose. Don't blame me I voted for the Yeti!

Thanks for hosting again @Taweret I still had some fun riffing on it at moments nonetheless!

This scene is what the inside of my brain looks like #monsterdon #invasionofthestarcreatures

@miriamrobern At least somebody had some sense in connection with this whole thing

#Monsterdon

IMDB says this was originally part of a double bill with The Brain That Wouldn't Die. You know what that means for #monsterdon , right?

@MCDuncanLab Some #monsterdon movies make me feel dumber in a pleasant way but this was more in an unpleasant way.

@miriamrobern wow....bleak.

Classic Monsterdon!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon subtitles: "(jolly music)"
"(sizzling)"

"Can I get my money back?" #monsterdon (We watched on tubi for free....)

https://s.kast.gg/party/cinema-fangoso #monsterdon

I wouldn't say that Dolores Reed put in a stellar performance but less awful than the rest of these actors maybe? #monsterdon

@floatybirb Wait, what movie _does_ get a 1?

#Monsterdon

@allanb This calls for a palate power-washer

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We're really going to have to pick a better one next week. I think we have paid sufficiently for getting a too-good film with "The Stepford Wives"...

@Taweret Hopefully it is not another ten minutes of extra offensive first nations dancing.

#Monsterdon

These guys were just smoking cigars but can't handle pipe tobacco lol #monsterdon #invasionofthestarcreatures

Well I'm definitely not thinking about any OTHER pain at the moment so.. mission accomplished? Thanks once again to @Taweret for hosting. The flicks can only get better from here... right? #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Wow. Well that #monsterdon was certainly something.

#Monsterdon
Well, the good news is I haven't watched "Groundhog Day" yet, and that'll make a good palate cleanser.

The moral of the story is that the #monsterdonalert voting must be rigged or something, and it might make sense not to accept next week's results #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial bah, I'm GenX, my body is already equal parts lead, asbestos, and microplastics. #EatTheRich #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne @Taweret

THE END except for those watching on amazon which has the extended tv cut #monsterdon

@Taweret What happens in the extra sequence if I dare ask?

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok I got here first! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #MonsterDon

Electric wife guy

#invasionofthestarcreatures #monsterdon

it's

wtf capitalization?
