I think they thought that he was mistakable for {Mark Hamill}-like.

#monsterdon

see this scene would make so much more sense if this guy both was supposed to be 15 and actually did look 15.

100% serious here.

#monsterdon #laserblast

@Taweret exactly my question, how is he old enough to drive

#monsterdon

Should an individual this immature be allowed to drive vehicles, look at him ffs...

#Monsterdon

A giant electronic KAZOO!

#monsterdon

They modeled this after an 8-track #monsterdon

Am I seriously gonna have to stare it this guy's face over and over?
#monsterdon

which way is uprange?

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Laserblaster

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Now he finds the giant phallic symbol, after establishing he really needs it #monsterdon

The number of people I want to survive this movie currently stands at zero.

Unfortunately, at least one of them probably will.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Wait, Billy is being bullied by this guy in the glasses?

#Monsterdon

I cannot deal with this town being so small that Mistah Potata Head is one of the _cool_ kids. I can NOT deal with it.

#monsterdon #laserblast

Uhh... this guy's in EVERYTHING!

#monsterdon

Pause for Coke ad pose. #Monsterdon

What's Billy's mom supposed to be, an elite level sex worker? Because that seems like the implication

#Monsterdon

i do not believe deezen warrants this music. #monsterdon

When is this movie gonna start?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Did nobody teach this layabout how to wear a shirt?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

I wonder what the aliens are up to? Or the cops?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Vaguely guilty of maybe weaksauce vehicular manslaughter.

riveting vending machine scene

#Monsterdon

Pontiac Down!

#monsterdon

Ive lived in a small town all my life; the cops tend to ignore the locals & go after the out-of-towners who won't wanna come back to fight a ticket
#Monsterdon

wait

is this the origin story of Fred from Scooby Doo?
#monsterdon

Cannot be doing with more of this creepy young man's dull day in the hot sun

#Monsterdon

@sean The hell it was. If they'd done it, it'd've been good.

#monsterdon #laserblast

NEW
ARCOClear
Unleaded

#monsterdon

Feel like a lot of the budget just went into that joke

#Monsterdon

If the film was REALLY made in the 70s that car woulda blown up. #Monsterdon

DUI hire

#Monsterdon

Okay, I laughed at that
#monsterdon

cops figuring out who it is before deciding to persue is peak small town cop energy

#Monsterdon

How's your momma? #monsterdon

That was pretty good animation!
Critics who were not comatose after viewing this movie agreed the animation was the best part.

#Monsterdon

Billy's supposed to be, what? The kind of dude who whines at his mom, but he won't stop for the keystone cops? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Now they start with the silly music. The cops are bastards obviously, but also apparently high and stupid.

Look! Bigfoot walked on his van!

#monsterdon

What even is this music? #Monsterdon #Laserblast

wtf the music

#Monsterdon

Everyone in this damn movie is a character actor

#Monsterdon

awwww 5 0 got a cute smile tho #monsterdon

Cop #2 touches the joint and immediately begins coughing. Laced with fent, I guess.

#Monsterdon

It's okay, partner. It's *stolen* weed. #monsterdon #laserblast

"What do you keep smokin' that stuff for?"

"Shit!"

?????

#monsterdon

If dude is in high school, he's some 30-year old creeper trying to get laid by teens #monsterdon

Nice to meet you too Colonel Sanders

#Monsterdon

Took him half an hour to put a shirt on for nothing. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

If I may offer this guy a suggestion:

hush hush

#Monsterdon

Operation Sandust, hush hush!

Everybody connected with it, hush hush!

Now you get away from that motorcycle I knocked over that is spilling gas and oil all over the ground!

#monsterdon

It’s me colonel, Dime Store Mark Hamill. #Monsterdon

So the password is "It's me, Billy" Good to know!
#Monsterdon

Those bell bottoms are amazing.

#monsterdon #laserblast

#monsterdon Our hero sure is angry that his mom got a free trip to Acapulco.

This is the jazz fusion soundtrack that Yeti *should* have had!
#monsterdon

Oh thank god, he does own a shirt.

#Monsterdon

He must live in a town that doesn't have "no shirt, no shoes, no service" laws.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

LOL at all the shirt (or lack thereof) commentary

#monsterdon

I keep expecting something to run out into the road while he's driving. This is so anti-climactic!

#monsterdon

I, for one, welcome our new claymation alien overlords

#monsterdon

Wardrobe! Can we get this guy a shirt? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Mom's extra snug white waist-high pants were a stylistic error common in the late 1970s

God, it's so hot the road looks like it's shivvering... I would HATE to not have AC in that thing.

#Monsterdon

What's the age gap between mother and son here, seven years?

#Monsterdon

i do not remember this movie having massive eerie gaps in between dialogue where the lead just stares

#monsterdon

Mother or Mrs. Robinson? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon yer mom's a player, bro. respect the hustle

I love them so much they should have action figures.
Okay eventually they did get figures but the are small and not that articulated.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Wait is that his mom? I'm so confused.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

that lady looks like an alien. is this foreshadowing? #monsterdon

My parents had this exact luggage. It was always really satisfying to snap the clasps closed. #Monsterdon

Less humans
More aliens!
#monsterdon

There's something very Gates McFadden as Crusher about her performance.

#monsterdon

Her pants are painted on. Owch! #Monsterdon

These guys are amazing.

#monsterdon

I can just feel the cheap plastic texture of that luggage thru the screen.

#Monsterdon

The stop motion aliens are FANTASTIC they pair well with the grainy print of this #Monsterdon film

Yeah I hate it when I'm late for my next flight because I just lasered a guy

#Monsterdon

yes, please, put on your pants. #monsterdon

Why is his face green but his hands are white? Are we not supposed to notice that?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Oh no! Not the everything except the necklace disintegration ray!!
#Monsterdon

Perfect landing!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

The initial dialogue in all the best movies consists of quacking. #monsterdon

Lots of untranslated alien dialogue, à la the Chewbacca family in The Star Wars Holiday Special—and just as unriveting #Monsterdon

Give "Tortoise without it's shell" please

No exposition, very bold

LASER BLASTS!

#Monsterdon

Is that Pazuzu’s brother

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Eddie Deezen....#monsterdon

Enjoy the claymation, kids, it's the only good part of the movie.

#monsterdon #laserblast

Omigosh the stop motion! I love it!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

10 out of 10 so far! #monsterdon

The spaceship and aliens are *the one and only good part* of this film.

#Monsterdon

Establishing shot across the desert, with suitably poor filming quality.

This is a grainy gem.

#monsterdon

Linda Blair... on MARS! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "yeah, it's me, laserblast. i guess you're probably wondering how i got into this mess"

We were 20 miles out of Barstow when the Laserblast kicked in. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Our air was too polluted for the alien to blast his laser

#monsterdon
#Laserblast

Mad Max: Vague Irritation Road

#Monsterdon

Is this fellow Laserblast?

#Monsterdon

That is one cumbersome metal detector

#Monsterdon

We have a good enough transfer of this film to see allllll the film grain

#monsterdon #laserblast
