uhhh
KENNY!
A castle gate that opens to the inside. Clever. #monsterdon
Game! of! Thrones! Game! of! Thrones! Game! of! Thrones! #monsterdon
@Louisa I'm sure there's going to be a turn at some point, but so far I'm kind of into this! #monsterdon
Two suns? Is this Tatooine?
#Monsterdon #Krull
#Monsterdon I kind of like that bent door bar. Looks a lot easier to handle.
Also, the dads are totally attracted to each other.
subtitles: "Twenty men were despatched to you"
They'll have a kid with a *remarkable* hat. #Monsterdon
NO RIDING THE HORSES INDOORS YOU FUCKING PHILISTINES
Hm. Another Royalty Will Save Us prophecy.
I wonder if it's followed or subverted.
#monsterdon some very "This drummer is at the wrong gig" vibes coming from the soundtrack #krull
#monsterdon we got a Romeo and Juliet kinda story here
I almost expect a wild Julie Andrews to appear singing from those mountains #monsterdon
Huh. I wasn't sure if I'd remember Krull, but I do, vaguely
I liked the lock on the door
#monsterdon
This is like if The Lion in Winter was heterosexual. #monsterdon
Is every scene going to have this much music, because I don't know if I can handle that #Monsterdon
@jonny Going to mooch over here tonight if I post. Though I'm maybe a little confused already (I'm really really bad at multi-tasking and everything takes priority over video if my fellow watchers hadn't gathered by now).
My journey has also been hard but necessary.
@allanb Try youtube. #monsterdon
They've managed to make this castle look futuristic
I kinda miss the early 80s solemn fantasy. No winks to the audience, just deadly serious Shakespearean actors in plastic helmets having heard tell of an ancient prophecy
"I didn't choose this marriage Turold"
Like an old queer couple bickering on holiday, bless
they made that entire gate from abandoned cybertrunk side panels
After all the movies we've watched together, I gotta say, this one has some impressive production value. It's like they actually hired a cinematographer. #monsterdon
That's a big door #monsterdon
CLIPPITY CLOPPITY HOP ON MY [CENSORED]ITY
When does the girl in the pond start handing out magical swords?
Mention of "alliance". DRINK if you choose to.
(like 100 times already)
#Monsterdon
Where were these outdoor scenes filmed, anyway?
Nobody needs too rule the galaxy. Too much area for any one person #monsterdon
[trumpets return]
NOT filmed in the UK
Great fighters make bad husbands? Hm... pops is on to something. #monsterdon
COULD WE PLEASE HAVE THE VOCALS BE WITHIN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE OF THE MUSIC?!?
Truly, I'm having trouble thinking of zingers because there are just too many things going on at once.
"Good fighters make bad husbands" Clearly she likes bad boys. #monsterdon #krull
Off to a late start but wow this movie is setting "high" expectations for itself from the start
Oh drat, missed the #monsterdon timing now I guess, but was unable to find the movie on Tubi Canada.
Must only be on the US version of the site. Not on Ytube, Pluto or Prime either, so I guess we're passing on it this week.
Krull!
After delays trying to get archive to work, it's Tubi time.
#Monsterdon #Krull
Serious amounts of exposition this early into (checks watch) 2 hours.
Did Peter Jackson see this movie?
#Monsterdon wow that was a lot of exposition, i'm glad most of it had horsies running around over it
"...can we make his eyes any more blue?"
"sorry, we're already at maximum blueness."
Good fighters make bad husbands. #Monsterdon
Mawwiage
I too, had hair like her in the 80s.
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon
After #StarWars, every Sci Fi movie had to start with a fly by of an enormous slow-moving ship in space. It was, like, a genre contractual requirement. In this case, they used a ginormous asteroid. 😬
#Krull
@wohali Maybe her fighter-husband will also use a lot of hairspray.
Wow that was a steep scree slope for riding horses down!
#Monsterdon #Krull
#Monsterdon So we have a planet-spanning empire whose weapons are… some guys on horseback?
Slayers of plausiblity, maybe.
BUT PA IT'S JUST MAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
coconuts clopping
Good fighters make bad husbands. But they make great meat grillers.
#Monsterdon Wait, is this knights and aliens?
@paco I think this might be the apex of tonight’s viewing. #Monsterdon
At least they'll know exactly where to find it...
"He's got HUUUUGE... tracts of land!" #Monsterdon
Slayers? I'm unclear... what do they actually do?
oh we got some HIGH SCI FANTASY with that armor. #monsterdon
They don't have space flight how are they going to rule the Galaxy #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱
Ahhh yes, opening narration!
But did he say "krall" as though it rhymes with "pal"??
Wow that's some shocking frizzy red hair
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon so much hair
I saw Krull on 70mm on a Sunday afternoon one summer and it hit so good, y'all can clown all you want but this movie is Good and Special and if you can't get a contact high on these matte paintings alone you're missing out. #monsterdon
Oh, it's John Boorman's Dune #monsterdon
KRULL - The story of a guy with a magical fidget spinner and the adventures he had
It was given to me to know that the palace costumes aren't that bad. #monsterdon
I'm 5 minutes late. Is that OK? #Monsterdon
Oh man. This exposition hits like a sledge hammer. #Monsterdon
Oh Gosh, those are big hairs!
#monsterdon
Their son is Anakin Skywalker, right?
This guy's really digging in on epistemology in his opening monologue #monsterdon
So who's up for a Krull based Mörk Borg hack? #monsterdon
#monsterdon it's Merida
Gravely voice over!
#Monsterdon
Krull is two hours but I take it that about half of that is credits.
What is this costume design?
me: 'man, it looks good and the name is cool, how bad can it be?'
partner: 'you'll see...'
#Monsterdon #krull
this sure is a James Horner-assed score #Monsterdon
Rule another galaxy.... just be sure there's enough hairspray for my daughter's locks of red
#Monsterdon lots of plastic on Krull.
Ooh, that is some serious lackluster spear menacing.
Where's gollum when you need one? #Monsterdon
My mom: "I know what's wrong with Elon Musk. He watched Krull too many times."
@arrjay Compare with Stargate?
Poooooppies will make us sleep! #Monsterdon
@GeoffWozniak this #Monsterdon is one of those movies that for some reason I distinctly remember Larry Day and Kirstie McLellan reviewing on "The Movie Show" back when it was released.
For some reason I mostly remember their reviews of epic disasters like Ishtar and Howard the Duck so make of that what you will
but all that shit would've been interesting so we're not going to show it to you
#monsterdon looks like burning man
Ok, the castle can land, but can it take off, #Monsterdon
"this was given me to know..." is how I will answer people tomorrow at work.
URUK-HAI! #Monsterdon
Time for Krull on #Monsterdon.
OH shit, is the a mountain about to attack a planet?
