@ricci @amyfou I don't even know what the question is and I'm pretty sure I know the answer

#Monsterdon

@kshernandez :nope:

#monsterdon

Gonna turn my hat around backwards to keep the sun outta my eyes lol

#Monsterdon

I wonder who the last poor guy was who found the pendant and gun. #Monsterdon

oh wait it's an automatic 🥴
#monsterdon

@hollie People are using that word "love" but I think that what we were watching was something different #monsterdon

Not sure I'd want to be on that plane.

#Monsterdon

Froggy likes lightning and planes.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

Best thing about this #Monsterdon are the stop motion Space Turtles

Second best thing is that gunner dude's moustache

it's the Emergency Alert One Task Force, in their airplane! #monsterdon

NOoooo! Not the pinball machine!
#monsterdon #laserblast

"I knew King Kong, sir - and you are no King Kong!"

#monsterdon #laserblast

You know that's a limited budget movie when they can't rent many extras to play the army
#monsterdon

I want the laser to blow up the two guys in their new car and let them call that lightning.

#Monsterdon

How expensive and difficult was it to shoot this car/airplane scene? And what's the point?

#monsterdon

@amyfou And again, the answer is "no"

I don't even know where you are in the movie, and I know the answer

#Monsterdon

wait wtf how he gonna shoot his ass from a plane like that

what olympic ass shooter this is mfer
#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial I meant the characters. :) #Monsterdon

"Anyone who runs is a Zorblaxian! Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined Zorblaxian!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon today we hunt... the most dangerous game

like in Critters the joke was that Deezen was supposed to be annoying and then you get to enjoy him being killed by critters

here I think they actually expect you to think he's funny

#Monsterdon

Foolish airplane man, you brought a rifle to a laser fight

#Monsterdon

What's with the gratuitous shot of the 35mph on the speedometer?

Who made that choice?

#monsterdon

Is there any rhyme or reason to when this dude... turns? #monsterdon

"He's supposed to be a hot one"

Not as hot as he thinks....

#Monsterdon

also it may be in the running for Monsterdon's Ugliest Movie award. ahh the 70s #Monsterdon

@bstacey

No backstory to build suspense! Could have taken 15 minutes to write, shoot and edit that scene!

#Monsterdon

I know it's the 70's but have you never seen an airplane before?

#Monsterdon

Eddie Deezen: Plane Noticer #monsterdon

guess someone in the film crew really liked the red car huh

#monsterdon

I like how the car has a Standard Temperature and Pressure sticker on it.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

@davesdogmaggie I'm reserving judgment on the stop-motion folks. Too bad they're too expensive to have longer scenes #monsterdon

oh look.

Lightning. #monsterdon

#monsterdon edeezen: "HEY LIGHTNING WE SHOULD NAME THIS NEW CAR SOMETHING LIKE LIGHTNING LIGHTNING GREASED LIGHTNING MAYBE"

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

but what is 'CRAGAR'?

Gosh, why so many scenes with this stupid car with this two?
#monsterdon

Billy is better as a monster--his métier. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Now we’ll see what makes Christine a bad 1957 Plymouth Fury. It’s Chuck and Froggy.

#monsterdon watching Billy bounce off that van made this whole thing worth it.

Eddie Deezen got a new car!
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"We rented a vintage car and dammit we're gonna film it."

#Monsterdon

Why is the sky so weirdly lit? Like blue with black edges as seen from the "windshield" shot?

#Monsterdon

Wait--wasn't he blown up in the convertible???? #monsterdon

Cruisin' around with Eddie Deezen, cranking the AM radio. How are the chicks able to resist this? #monsterdon

CRAGAR!

#monsterdon #laserblast

It's funny that minutes later people are still processing trauma from the love scene

(it was very, very bad 😂)

#Monsterdon
#Laserblast

Did they just edit two different takes of the same scene into the movie?

#Monsterdon

is this movie also a car commercial? #monsterdon

"Hulk laser. Hulk blast!"
#monsterdon

Critters has the good sense not to let Deezen talk this long

just saying

#Monsterdon

There was a lot of chewing on skin flaps in that sex scene

#monsterdon

#monsterdon alright, you guys start making out, and we'll shove the camera three inches from your face. That'll look great!

- said no competent filmmaker ever.

is the town locked down now?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

I'm the only one who's glad we don't see what the aliens are doing, they're creepy as hell

#Monsterdon

Not the pinball machine, Billy! People like pinball. #Monsterdon

Remember y'all. At one point in time, Chevy Bel Air's were just "old cars".

#Monsterdon

This movie has gone on so long. And it has so much longer go to. Time has no meaning when it comes to LASERBLAST

#Monsterdon

Now we're in a much *bigger* town instead of the desert wide-spot-in-the-road.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

YASS!! Froggy rides again! #monsterdon

Blowing up cops didn't make him run, but his girl finding out? That set him fleeing, hard. So manly. #monsterdon

@Taweret

Producer: We need to cut our sound effects budget by 50%. Who’s got ideas?

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou It was released as a sewer discharge. And 8-track.

#Monsterdon

How many nice cars do the sexual assaulters have, anyway? *Oh, insurance.

#Monsterdon

SHUT UP, FROGGY

#monsterdon

Sex scene...I stopped eating my popcorn. yikes. #Monsterdon

Greased LIGHTNIN'! #Monsterdon

they can't even get a competent shot of a car driving by. amazing

#Monsterdon

Wait, what? crazy zombie Billy goes rampage? FINALLY!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon OH SHIT HE"S GOT ONE BUTTON DONE UP. HE MEANS BUSINESS NOW

OK I will grant, the fact that the necklace is what turns him into a zombie explains a couple things

And unexplains others

#Monsterdon

Steadycam be damned!

#monsterdon

oh no it's gone all cattywampus now for Billy

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

I always hated that pinball game

LASTERBLAST REVENGE!

#monsterdon

they took the knobs off that guy's radio because he can't be trusted with them

#monsterdon #laserblast

The POV shots are the collar cam the aliens gave him :collar:

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

What you wanna be when you grow up?
COP KILLER!
COP KILLER!
FUCK THE POLICE!
#monsterdon #laserblast

I feel like his hatred for the pinball machine could have been set up much better

#Monsterdon

never go full lasertard #monsterdon

God, I think my parents had that cooler.

#monsterdon

@wohali I think the props people were able to get it for cheap is all #monsterdon

@Taweret They've fallen asleep... #monsterdon

The fact he just holds the sample with his bare hands... #Monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon Poop!Billy is developing Ferengi teeth.

@apLundell@timeloop.cafe The first rule of tragedy is that none of this was inevitable. You could stop at any time.

The second rule is, we both know you'll never do that.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

@Taweret because the sound track knows. #monsterdon

i'm enjoying popping in and seeing everyone's reactions to Laserblast even though i'm doing some synth stuff tonight instead

i've seen it so many times for whatever reason #Monsterdon

Why doesn't he blast something useful, like an exploitative Fortune 500 country headquarters or something? #monsterdon

No one is playing the Pinball machine?!?

Uh... this was NOT made in the 70s.

#Monsterdon

dude this motherfucker is ZERO fun what a sleepy asshole
#monsterdon

OK, what else can we blow up that no one wants in this town?

A broken pinball machine? Sure.

#monsterdon

So the effect of the pendant is explored more fully in District 12. The prawn tech is gene-locked, so the weapons can only be fired by a prawn. Or by a prawn arm. The turtlemen have firmware developers about as good as ours, so instead of there being a trigger interlock, the pendant just changes the DNA of whoever wears it into turtleman DNA. There's a Jira ticket open. Should be fixed next release. #monsterdon #laserblast

Weedhead, less-terrible, cop lives.

#monsterdon

why the fart noises on the sound track?

#Monsterdon

Poor pinball table :(

#Monsterdon

honestly - completely honestly - the Sitting Up Green surprise moment was almost competent.

#monsterdon #laserblast

It would have been quite the disaster if we had to watch her run away naked

#monsterdon

Was she injected with Demon Seed?

#Monsterdon

When is Pat Sajak going to reveal the puzzle?

#monsterdon

Aw Billy... not the pinball. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

He knows him from TWO WARS AGO!?! Is the suit-swapping government guy somehow slow-aging?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast
