Princess of the kingdom of matte painting. #monsterdon

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

OMG this the Liam Neesons?!?

@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

@ohiofi Krull glaive won't return to hand bug fix? #Monsterdon

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

@wrog flame grilled beasts #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

This whole "running for your life while the building breaks apart and flings itself into space" sequence feels a little gratuitous.

#Monsterdon #KRULL

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

The real Krull is the friends we sacrificed along the way.

#monsterdon

it's last command is to initiate nuclear detonation. #monsterdon

go past the "thou shalt not pass" bridge, take a left at the second colon, flamethrow the door and you're out!

#monsterdon

"So I can burn a hole through whatever kind of rock this is now?"

This man has an absurdly powerful hairy forearm

#Monsterdon

Did I already use the "Fly, you fools!" bit? ...Oh I did, huh :/ #Monsterdon

Waste of a perfectly good flying interstellar rock castle. 😖

#Monsterdon #Krull

The castle isn't disintegrating, we're just seeing them run out of budget in real time.

#monsterdon #krull

The Fifth Element is LOVE!

#Monsterdon #KRULL

Years later when they they all go camping with their friends:

"Oh my god, did Cameron forget the matches AGAIN? Hey you two, can you use the fire of your love? Here's some kindling. We're freezing our asses off."

#Monsterdon #Krull

#Monsterdon the big bad can’t handle being bruleed.

Wait, so

The Beast, extraterrestrial invader, is bested by the power of heterosexual marriage??? #Monsterdon

RIP Krull #monsterdon

The Glaive was in you all along!

#monsterdon #krull

quit hard on that one
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon He forgot the first rule. Double tap. Always double tap.

you're not even trying to dodge that spike, dude

#monsterdon

"...I can't get the fidget spinner back! It's stuck too deep!"

#Monsterdon #Krull

use the force colwyn

#monsterdon #Krull

Yeah that's stuck in there pretty good. Got some WD-40 on ya or somethin? #Monsterdon #Krull

So after two hours of walking to a space castle, the glaive does all the work. Nice plot. #monsterdon

We all see it, right?

#Monsterdon

MY EARS

#monsterdon

"Final Boss" energy

He might have multiple forms!

#Monsterdon

The Boy King uses Fidget Spinner. It's super effective!

#Monsterdon

that's like her 2nd line in the film
#monsterdon

This is why you throw Indy the whip back, dude. #Monsterdon

Worst spike room scene ever. None of them had to get spiked. That was the most pointless spiking of all time.

#Monsterdon #Krull

Is the garden weasel prototype blade thingy the glave? #monsterdon

KAMEHAMEHA!

#monsterdon #krull

OK checking off "goofy weapon" on the bingo card

#Monsterdon

An angle grinder might've been a better choice here.

Watching him cut through a wall is certainly thrilling cinema.

#monsterdon #krull

I'm now making that death noise because I realize I have to go to work tomorrow. #monsterdon

I wish I had a Glaive, nobody would give me hassle....I'd walk right into No 10 and start controlling things...

#Monsterdon

Krull: "The princess is in another castle."

#Monsterdon #Krull

Finally he reached for his starfish. #monsterdon

this movie's just pulling out all the stops

desperately, desperately pulling
#monsterdon

That's a nice rope. Too bad for Menno you didn't use it before

#monsterdon

Oh another trap, that's refreshing. #monsterdon

The 420 sales at the dispo start tomoorow. A day late as it turns out. #monsterdon

RIP liamneeson "Faithful" mcbandit

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe
Homemade Wilhelm!
#monsterdon

No one even asked him his favorite color. #Monsterdon

you shall not pass
#monsterdon

Ergo was about to start singing "The Logical Song" but he had no time

#monsterdon

It's like someone watched Star Wars while reading Lord of the Rings and was like "Why not both?"

This is why not both, Ken.
#monsterdon

Using the magic weapon as a cutting tool?

#monsterdon #krull

#Monsterdon suddenly recalling Yeti, the Giant of the 20th century. Rell just reminded me.

Rune's doon! #monsterdon

Yeah, that room is definitely trapped. I guess the rogue failed his check?

#monsterdon #krull

No steed is faster than a greenscreen-mare

#Monsterdon #Krull

Well rested, the brass section has triumphantly returned to the stage to drive the soundtrack to its climax. #monsterdon
