#monsterdon

@Lazarou It's way beyond the local group, for sure.

#Monsterdon

just how drunk and/or high am i supposed to be to enjoy this?

#monsterdon

"These guys are just like us" Unthinking vegetables. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Behold! The entire prop budget in one scene. #monsterdon

@Taweret We coulda had a lot of things

other than [waves hands] all THIS

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

oh fuck, more physical comedy with that one stage they have.....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Žižek always says that film teaches you how to desire.

#Monsterdon

@rebeld In russia, salad... nevermind. #monsterdon

@trixter on our planet, we have advanced light-years beyond your primitive Earth years #monsterdon

Twinkie the soldier isn’t working for the femdom adaptation of this movie going on in my mind right now. #Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

"that's the first time a salad ever tossed me" is a thing i chuckled at. please don't judge me too harshly

#monsterdon

cave gag AGAIN #monsterdon

uh... he seems out of place #monsterdon

This is like a whole film full of people who really wanted to be the Three Stooges but couldn't pull it off. #Monsterdon

Continuity was not in the budget.

#monsterdon

The brain scanner gathers all knowledge and converts it into useless information. In other words, early ChatGPT

#monsterdon

It's completely illogical and infantile. That is the subtitle for the whole damn film. #monsterdon

"Completely illogical and infantile" was this movie's tagline #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon tall girls

"When it first opened, the film trade magazine Box Office opined: 'What a lot of baloney! Such a waste of time, film and effort. The title was good, but was it a spooky film? Nope! A comedy!! Closed the first night.'" #monsterdon

this nasal voice guy is the worst. i haven't even been watching and the hair on the back of my neck stands up every time he drops a line and it falls dead on the ground like a dead salmon
#monsterdon

@Lazarou Plus they are disdainful giantess scientists which is an extra-niche fetish.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #InvasionoftheStarCreatures1962 Wait! That movie was better. Bring it back!

a 'finger wave', what is that? Sex?

#monsterdon

I sure hope this brain scan technology is fatal. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 😱 🥒 👽 💃 🔥 💥 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️

brain machine is not gonna have much to work with

"We can completely assimilate all the knowledge you possess."

Yeah, you're gonna hear a sound like a straw trying to pull up the last of a milkshake. #Monsterdon

"only the information we desire"
i desire none of this.
#monsterdon

You learned English from these military guys' brains and didn't pick up on the word "baby"? This strains credulity

As opposed to everything else in this movie which doesn't even approach credulity

#Monsterdon

I gotta hand it to the woman who pulled off "electro hoffala moffa electric" or whatever she said there. That was badass. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Ummm... they used a real distance... ah, gobbledegook science, It's... yeah. It's fine. Sure, okay. I don't really want the cast to die, I want them to never have been, like the series finale of Dallas. Fweh.

They came 600 million light years for these cunts?

#monsterdon

…jesus, I didn't realize how high-end Star Trek technobabble actually was…
#monsterdon

As soft porn I think this could work. #Monsterdon

The opening sentence of the "Reception" section of this film's wikipedia page says "'Invasion of the Star Creatures' has never been well reviewed by critics" which made me laugh more than anything in this film so far. #monsterdon

those monster looks like some batman's scarecrow costumes
#monsterdon

looks like her voice was overdubbed?

#monsterdon

OH GODS THE STAR CREATURES ARE ALSO SPEAKING HEP 😭

#Monsterdon

There is a chance it could pass the Bechdel Test but my gut says it won't

#monsterdon

oh hey, now we know the scientific term for the translation tissue. #monsterdon

is the high-pitched guy supposed to be like a weird gay stereotype? since he's upset about seeing pretty women while strapped to a table?

#monsterdon

I'm not sure a movie leaning into explanations of stuff being complete nonsense helps

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

It's terrible, terrible, terri... ble.

#Monsterdon

Kill them!

#monsterdon

"What's so terrible about dreaming about dames?" "He's gay, you dumbshit!" "How would I know?!" "YOU LITERALLY JUST FUCKED HIM."

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

@EmptySet So far this feels like they wanted to write a comedy but ran out of material so they decided to splice on a monster flick.

#monsterdon

omg, leave vital equipment behind to pack a heavy lunch. #monsterdon

Paper mache monsters??

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon yeah, when a dame has you strapped to a table and you can't move, how terrible

Terrible monster costumes are only funny when it's not on purpose.
When they're trying to be funny, it's not.

Might as well watch Sharknado III or something..

#monsterdon

It's a forest of Groot's! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

Torpedo Bras loaded!

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Why oh WHY didn't they put a strap over their mouths? #Monsterdon

@sealawyer Maybe there will be an ending...

#Monsterdon

The vegetable monster costumes would be embarrassments in a high school production #monsterdon

These two guys smoking like that look more like they just had sex than they just ate a bunch of rations. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon lol monster suit guy just comes up the rear

"phrasing"

Clearly, no expense was spared on the alien costume #Monsterdon

Okay, those *were* in fact monsters

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

@jsadow @floatybirb Do we go for pizza and Math 201 studies after? #Monsterdon

In 1979, the film was cited by Harry and Michael Medved in their book The Golden Turkey Awards, a tribute to bad films. Invasion of the Star Creatures was nominated in the category for “The Worst Vegetable Movie of All Time”, with the authors noting the monsters controlled by the Kalar aliens were played by actors wearing carrot costumes.

#monsterdon

dude if you don't stop doing that knock off Costello voice, imma kick you in the nuts

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Heavy metal boxes.

If only Metallica was here to save the film. Or AC/DC.

@allanb I kind of think it might be worse if it were trying to take itself seriously

#Monsterdon

oh dang, they fucked

didn't expect that

#InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #monsterdon

Oh good, maybe they'll get killed. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 😱 🥒 👽 💃 🔥 💥 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️

finally a STAR CREATURE

but it's not doing anything and these guys are still talking in early sixties hepspeak

#Monsterdon Fred! Wilma! Brad! Janet!

If it's a cat, even I can tell you it's not human because... it's a cat.

#Monsterdon

"...what a strange lookin' cat. It's not human."
"No cats are, Einstein."

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures #🌟

Snake Dumbskin? We've heard of you, we heard you were dead! #WrongQuote #WrongMovie #MOnsterdon

#Monsterdon if they use any more hepcat talk

#monsterdon This movie is desperate for Abbot and Costello to show up.

This scene wanted yakkity sax. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Giant radioactive catboy?

#monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Oh no they are anti-maskers! #Monsterdon

Haha these goofballs are removing their masks under dangerous conditions just to eat!! Can you imagine anyone doing such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Ah, the old "corridor chase" gag, but it's a cave...

The theatrical version (currently on DVD) runs 70 minutes. For television syndication, a 10-minute sequence was added, bringing the film's running time to 80 minutes.

Was it a 10 minute apology? Because if not, it's sadism

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "indigenous rock"

pulling your mask aside for a snack, finally the movie that speaks to my personal experience

#monsterdon

Man oh man nothing makes me guffaw harder than someone eating a chicken while wearing a gas mask. #Monsterdon

finally, a theremin! bout to get some scifi!

#monsterdon

Even my cat can't believe this movie. #monsterdon

TIL Roast chicken looks particularly bad in B&W #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🌠 TRIVIA STARS

👀 Look for director Bruno VeSota in cameo during Philbrick's "Commander Connors" vision. He is the car passenger villain that gets knocked out.

He's also a character actor, so you may have seen him before.

A gorilla suit with a diving helmet is seeming like a really good concept right about now. #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

Oh hey, they used this cave in Night of the Blood Beast. Neat. #Monsterdon

lol, why not walk around the pile of dirt , you idiots....

#monsterdon

Hey! That's the Robot Monster Cave! #Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

@SordidAmok Maybe the real reason we're watching will show up.. you mean monsters? ... monsters? ... oh RIGHT #Monsterdon

I'm starting to have a Pavlovian horror reaction to music. Every time the soundtrack starts up something terrible happens. #Monsterdon

I liked the part where they were walking in silence. More of that please #monsterdon

for killing the snek you shall meet your end sir

#Monsterdon #InvasionOfTheStarCreatures

#monsterdon so far, this has been 15 minutes of demonstrating why timing is necessary for comedy
