Yeah the changeling scene freaked me out as a child.....

#Monsterdon

Did you know 60% of women experience leaks with their Krull?

#monsterdon

seems like this wouldn't be an issue if we had roads

#monsterdon

Cyclops: Sorry I didn't have any lines earlier, my latex face wasn't finished. #monsterdon

The Beast keeps threatening our heroine with clothing. #Monsterdon

VFX Producer: MAKE SURE THE SWORD SPARKS ARE LEGALLY DISTINCT FROM LIGHTSABERS. #monsterdon

"gooseberry pie" is the wizard slang for lady bits

#Monsterdon

swashbuckles and thunderwhips
#monsterdon

They're off to see the wizard

#monsterdon

Cyclops has pretty good aim for someone without any depth perception.

#Monsterdon #Krull

If people from Tron showed up right about now it would sort of make sense

#Monsterdon #Krull

So… many…… traveling………. montages…………. 😴💤#monsterdon

#monsterdon "You cannot overcome the power of the beast..?"

"Not in this place, no."

"Then where?"

"The emerald tower."

One short day / In the emerald city..!

really looking forward to the end of this movie where they finally confront The Beast

#monsterdon

I wish they could've gotten Ogra into this. She was the best part of Dark Crystal

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon That’s some pretty solid LSD they are using.

That green can mean only one thing: They've entered FLAVOR COUNTRY.

#monsterdon

OMG we don't need the whole cyclopean backstory right now captain exposition. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Where are the coconuts?” LOL!

We are The Bandits who Cannot Pick Locks! #monsterdon

The size of this cave set is impressive. That had to have taken weeks to build. #monsterdon

Why is the cyclops following them?

#monsterdon #krull

@cd0 "viddie me this, my droogs!" #Monsterdon

That had to be the least threatening cyclops I've ever seen. #Monsterdon #krull

They have to go through the gorge of Ansel Adams #monsterdon

The transformation effect was an original innovation

#monsterdon

I'm in a fight, send dudes

#monsterdon #krull

staying alive,
also cuddling with the protagonist
#monsterdon

one blinking cyclops scares you? bloody wuss. #monsterdon

All he had to do was climb up there and stick his hand in mucus

#monsterdon

From now on the "Glaive" is the Finger Spinner of Doom (FSOD) #Monsterdon

"Do not use it until we can afford the effects shot. And then only twice." #Monsterdon #Krull

The way the Black Fortress hops around the world is how I imagine I look when I'm changing locations on my VPN

#Monsterdon

Is this how the One Ring was formed?

#Monsterdon

Filmed on location at the Cliffs of Insanity
#monsterdon

well that part went on entirely too long

#monsterdon

The pleather is really working for him on that climb #monsterdon

[excessively triumphant music] #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I have hairy forearms! I’m a man! Huuuurk!

#Monsterdon It’s not really named properly. You see, way up there the air is thin and people are starved of oxygen to breathe so they see a lethal children’s Jack, or a polearm. You want the Glaive. And remember the incantation, Klaatu Berada Nikto. Dont forget that. Lest you bring on an avalanche. Aw shit. You forgot.

Already thinking this is slow-moving cliche garbage

#monsterdon

Does that horse have its passport?

#monsterdon
#Krull

Call me Obi-Wan-Ymir. #monsterdon

"there's no time now for grief!"

How British

#Monsterdon

Nursing montage, he's not really dead as we were hoping, but there is lots of chest hair

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Funny application of Preparation H.

All your redhead are belong to us!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon yay! All the mains are dead. Now we get to spend an hour and half watching fire dance on a brass button. Wondering how we ended up here, watching… this… ;)

A contemporary fantasy princess would have used the sword herself, rather than wait for a big man to save her.....

#Monsterdon

NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
#monsterdon

Two suns *and* two moons? In this economy?

#monsterdon #krull

Imagine Kilmer doing the lead like Madmartigan

#monsterdon

I am not above making Princess Bride jokes through this whole movie

#monsterdon

Ooh, it's Starlord from GotG!

#monsterdon

Princess of the kingdom of matte painting. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I see that the Krulliverse also has Star Destroyers.

OMG this the Liam Neesons?!?

#monsterdon #Krull

Shuriken in space?

@Zerofactorial @diazona @allanb counterpoint: I discovered THE STUFF because of #Monsterdon and absolutely *adored* it. Was stunned that I had not seen that masterpiece of a movie.

I really like that we explore the whole spectrum.

@diazona @allanb It hit me that way when we watched the original Godzilla, so many heavy feels #monsterdon

Everybody got that it was about fascism, right?

#monsterdon

Summary of Krull: A young prince loses everything to an alien invader on his wedding day but with the help of an old sage and a band of felons he can regain all and give birth to a galactic empire.

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi @Bluedepth goddamn F2P MacGuffins -_-; #Monsterdon

@jsadow @paco You mean the glaive that was really a shuriken and not a glaive at all?

#Monsterdon #Krull

@Bluedepth @ohiofi Lemme tell ya when you roll back the drivers on a Glaive you really *roll back* the drivers. #Monsterdon

The doppelganger Seer with the black full scleral contacts is the critter that always pops out to me in Krull.

#Monsterdon #Krull

Did you know?:

This movie was the inspiration for Star Wars as well as the King Arthur legendarium. Amazing. #Monsterdon

@Terencio These Slayers were kinda boring #monsterdon

So KRULL was the name of the planet. Which didn't matter AT ALL. #monsterdon

#monsterdon the movie's so boring my computer is putting off finishing it

Oh man the livestream is now starting up the whole movie all over again, with director and actor commentary and i'd love to watch that but i am not sinking another TWO HOURS into this.

#monsterdon

now, being a cat lady from outer space who needs to find one docile male to unemotionally procreate with, that is relatable #monsterdon

I watched the Krull in the background while I did other things, so didn't post as much this #Monsterdon. It turned out to be the perfect movie for giving mixed attention to. I never felt that I missed what was going on because the plot was a little slow moving. But I definitely enjoyed it.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

While watching the ending, I cannot help but think of Takashi Miike’s The Happiness of the Katakuris.

#Monsterdon #Krull

So uhh...the gang fought off all the uh...storm slayers and uh....made it to the Dark Fortress and...uhh...killed the Big Baddie with a...uhhh death star thing and rescued the uh...queen and it's all good I guess I dunno

THE END

fantastically dramatic super cheesy star wars/LOTR smushup two hours of #Monsterdon time I will never get back but I can cope

Thanks for another great selection @Taweret !

princesses getting kidnapped so they can be re-wed to an evil king as part of a land contract and needing to claim rightful rule over the kingdom are not relatable problems to me #monsterdon

@ramsey I like it... #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Well, we've already seen that the Bene Gesserit planted one from their Missionaria Protectiva on this planet, so it stands to reason he might be a Kwisatz Haderach.

This is my headcanon.

#Monsterdon #Krull

all that the Disco King needs to do is point his firehands down at the ground and fireball his way into space. with his kid on his back. then the kid can rule the galaxy. #monsterdon

@jsadow @RamenCatholic @amyfou eh I think it's worth it to see the starfish smite some fools

#Monsterdon

The end! We learned that the real five-bladed throwing star weapon was the friends we made along the way. #Monsterdon

And the damsel was saved and they lived happily ever after!

Aw, thank you so much for hosting. I hadn’t seen this movie since I was a kid. The plot aged terribly but I love the visuals. And great score! This was a hit. Had a (laser) blast tonight! #monsterdon

Well the plot was dumb but it had fun effects and a really shockingly good cyclops, so hey :D #Monsterdon

Well that was for sure a movie. High production value, the dude from Taken, a Robbie Coltraine, and it still just kinda sucked. #monsterdon

I think you can easily carve 30 minutes out of this movie and make it better, but you know, I didn't hate it.

I admire how ambitious it was, and it paid off more things than I thought it would.

Ynyr and Lyssa still the best parts of it, I think. The most akin to reading good fantasy, anyway.

#Monsterdon

The director made choices with the Beast death scene

#monsterdon

"I should have stuck with puppies"

YES.

I heartily agree Ergo! Someone give the nab a gooseberry pie!

#Monsterdon

They had the power of gravity manipulation this whole time huh

I feel like that could have been relevant

#Monsterdon

well, that was stupid but in a fun way

#monsterdon #Krull

So this is all just a prequel for some other movie about a son ruling the galaxy? Did that story need all the quicksand? #monsterdon

Hey the narrator's back! Hey guy, you missed most of the movie. #monsterdon

And their son shall rule the galaxy!

That's a sequel that never happened.

#monsterdon

krull (1983): 1/5

didn't watch

#monsterdon #monsterdonReviews

Wow. Just wow. Thanks for the laughs #monsterdon gang. For more bloated budget box office bombs stop by #WestWed this week for.....Take care. See ya soon.

Thank goodness the trap had slowly advancing spikes that could only menace those who were bad at the limbo #monsterdon

and as the Cadbury Flake bar gets (slowly) sucked into the sky , we bid our brave heroes in the soft grass in the valley, adieu

But the film isn't over yet

#monsterdon

I thought it was going to be a transforming fortress for a few moments. Kaiju Beast could be fun, but there's no escalation room left in this movie.

The Fortress fucks off into the sky and I guess everything's done with.

#Monsterdon

It's a pretty valley, unfortunately it's on an island of necrophilie cannibals

#Monsterdon

The Jedi bring-the-weapon-to-me trick doesn't work anymore

#monsterdon
