That was a lot of fun, guys, but I'm beat. the Owlbear is off to bed. #monsterdon

So when do we get the sequel with their galaxy ruling son?
. . .
It would star Chris Pratt wouldn't it?
#Monsterdon #Krull

"Well, I have good news and I have some bad news."

"Tell me..."

"The good news is that spiders eat 10x their weight in flies every day."

"What's the bad news?"

"You taste like Jeff Goldblum."

#Monsterdon

honestly two hours of literal sea monkeys would have been a sounder investment #monsterdon

A boy gets a new toy, he wants to use it *all* the time #monsterdon

Real smart of Torquil to say he only wanted his manacles off once they won, assuring his survival

#Monsterdon

You don't think those giant rocks from that castle that are flying up into the air as it disintegrates are going to fall back down on anybody's head do you?

Nah...
#Monsterdon #Krull

Well that was #Krull a movie with more falling rocks than any other movie we've done on #Monsterdon. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a Glaivetastic week kids!

They strode off into the oce... sorry, giant green field! And... As always! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon

Could have used a pan out shot of tiny bits of the castle flying into orbit.
#Monsterdon #Krull

"They shall rule our world..."

and if anyone doesn't like it, they can taste The Flamethrower

#Monsterdon

Colwyn will return in Krull 2: The Search for more Leitmotifs!

#monsterdon #krull

Liam got the job! #monsterdon

That was fun. Thanks #Monsterdon

"Then we won?" Sorry how are their children going to rule the stars or whatever now that they just deleted the only repository of fully working advanced technology on their planet????

#Monsterdon

Well that's a wrap everyone! have a fantastic weekend and I hope to see you next week for another schlocky mess of a film!

Big props to @Taweret @JoeWynne @Cherizilla and everyone else who makes this event fantastic.

#monsterdon

Do these credits take up 3 minutes of screen time? That's a Monsterdon rarity.

#Monsterdon #Krull

jesus finally

that was an enormous kruller #Monsterdon

We're free!

#Monsterdon #Krull

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Many thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #Krull, from 1983, is tropefest from the 1980s that spends more time on effects than plot. On the upside, the effects were quite good! We also had,

well, that was about a movie and a half. #monsterdon

Narration! He's basically Paul Atreides then? #monsterdon

"Why do I have the taste of cat nip and person in my mouth?" —Ergo

#Monsterdon #Krull

@cshlan But what happened to the beautiful horses left at the base of the castle? #Monsterdon #Krull

How rude. Don't call him "Uggo".

#monsterdon #krull

That has got to be the slowest moving magical weapon of all time. #Monsterdon #krull

@r343l

Also Vella and Merith #monsterdon

Such a pretty movie, it's too bad it's pretty standard "princess with decolletage in distress" fillum

#monsterdon

okay, the Sci-Fi part is now leaving our Fantasy movie ARE YOU HAPPY NOW #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱

Why aren't all those horses right there in that field??

Wait, they saved everything, won the day, and still have to climb down this f-ing cliff? Wow
#Monsterdon

And the evil fortress fucks back off into space. #monsterdon

That's some excellent running they did there.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Go back to Star Trek, Space Nerd. This is RenFaire planet.

@Taweret I love the set up of a sci-fi space monster vs a fantasy world. But it doesn't quite work that way. He's also kinda magic when it should be laser vs fireballs.
#Monsterdon #Krull

Lol why did they have to run SO FAR

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero Sounds like THIS movie used fire. #WasThatSoHard #Monsterdon

Remember, the princess had to run just as far as the rest of them did, in a giant dress, and probably in heels.

#monsterdon #krull

Horner just...tooted it out there. #monsterdon

Whoops, there goes the Eye of Sauron. #Monsterdon

Mountian breaking apart up is choice effect

#Monsterdon

oh Love Fire Hands is an ongoing power I guess not just for the boss fight. cool or whatever

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Flaming is his love language.

#Monsterdon Spouse: “This whole place is one big OSHA violation. On the other hand, it is accessible.”

...Yeah hold on, he's gonna BURN A HOLE in the VOLCANIC ROCK

>_>

#Monsterdon

the dark fortress collapsing... is really The Beast's heart breaking.... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I have learned that friends don't let friends watch Krull.

They wait at the bridge while it's falling. Why? #monsterdon

The Beast is one of the first notable examples of a load bearing villain. This place is imploding now that's it's owner is dead.
#Monsterdon #Krull

Dying twice is real commitment! #monsterdon

why don't damsels just not be in distress, are they stupid? #monsterdon

OK, them running across the bridge there is an excellent optical composite.

#monsterdon

Colwyn's gonna be real pissed when, after all this, the population demands democratic elections. And make a bassett hound puppy king. #monsterdon

wow look at all these character names in the credits that we never heard spoken once in the 2 hours of movie time
#monsterdon

Boy, this is a trope, kill the baddie, and the building comes down #Monsterdon

@Taweret I think "yes"

#monsterdon #krull

okay so wait, there really was no reason for Schmendrick to be in this movie at all. He was just there to defend the boy who ALSO didn't need to be brought along on the suicidal frontal assault.

#monsterdon

This steeply curved wall would be no barrier if they'd taken the simple precaution of bringing along skateboards #monsterdon

@Taweret They were talking about galaxies, so I guess an alien?

#monsterdon

Yeah yeah, Samus has to stop and save the animals who taught her how to walljump, we know how it goes. #Monsterdon

Dude, you're wrecking Moya and their ship.

(This isn't nearly as deep a reference as Lexx.)

#Monsterdon #Krull

#Monsterdon He can identify his friend by the taste of his blood? cool.

Mr. Beast is allergic to fire #monsterdon

ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE LIVES. #monsterdon

Monster dude whomst dwells the The Fortress (and whomst name escapes me) has terrific Kaiju Vibes I heartily approve! #Monsterdon

The moral of the story, kids, is that if you truly truly love each other, you can harness the power of love to burn your enemy to death. #monsterdon

so is the bad guy an alien? or just a monster?

#monsterdon

"Look! Over here! Syrup!"

#Monsterdon

An almost Wilhelm scream in the Black Fortress. 😅

#Monsterdon #Krull1983

You know if this was made today there would be entire Tumblr communities posting sexy art of The Beast.

#monsterdon #krull

And now newly wed magic powers! Happily wedded bliss flamethrowing!
#Monsterdon #Krull

BBQ is what this scene was all about

skewers and flames

#monsterdon

The antagonists makeup looks bad, what should we do?

Eh just lens distort it completely to hell.
#monsterdon

The fortress crumbles as the bad guy dies, as is tradition #monsterdon

Being in love gives you fire hands, but only if you're rich

#Monsterdon

Correct answer to the poll: Filmed the scene upside down....here it comes!!!!

#Monsterdon

"It's not the glaive, it's us!" #monsterdon

yeah, please turn off your fire before you clutch her in that dress, the whole set's gonna go up. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱

heterosexual marriage is napalm?

Just when you thought it couldn't get dumber, the end of the world's dumbest wedding ceremony comes in for the win! #monsterdon

oh shiiiit flames that are too hot for my body! my one weaknessss!

#Monsterdon erdon

#Monsterdon She gave the fire to him and he gave it to the Beast, and suddenly there’s fire everywhere… not a metaphor or anything.

It feels like it's been a while since the last line of dialogue

#Monsterdon #krull

The Beast could have been more demonic looking. Instead he looks like a cracked egg zombie.

#Monsterdon #Krull

Fire hand just comes out of nowhere? #Monsterdon

Wait -- she had fire powers this whole time? And she couldn't save herself?

#Monsterdon

It turns out all married couples on this world have the power to conjure flames like this.

#Monsterdon #Krull

Noooo! Monogamy! My weeeaaaaknessasasa! #monsterdon

Who had "They were pyromancers all along, and the Glaive had nothing to do with it really."

#monsterdon #krull

They must have changed her lines completely. #monsterdon

so, The Beast brought his armies and The King brought his glavies... #monsterdon

I see your schwartz is as big as mine

#monsterdon

so are all married people on this planet able to shoot fire from their hands?

#monsterdon

WILHELM SCREAM #monsterdon

so given how videogamey this finale is was the game first or the movie

#monsterdon #Krull

He hasn't lost a son, he's gained a flame thrower. #Monsterdon #Krull

and the wedding ceremony comes back. i think this movie thinks it knows something about Writing... #monsterdon

the power of your pasty pasty fire

#monsterdon #Krull

The glaive was inside us all along... #monsterdon

That was the least convincing tuck and roll maneuver #monsterdon
