@socketwench True story

#Monsterdon

Yeah, Billy! Laser 12! Zap 'em! #monsterdon #laserblast

Dude looks like Dolph Lundgren when he has the green makeup starting

#monsterdon

@helianthropy I still do it, but just cause my car sucks 😄
#monsterdon

Uh oh. I sense another Funny Part™ :/

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon they better not kill these deputies, they are the comedic relief we need

oh no he left the cooler open

yep that's punishment by laser blast

#monsterdon

We still have 25 minutes, folks.

We all look like Billy does now.

#monsterdon

Oh-oh, he's got his 'gonna blast em' makeup on.

#monsterdon

EMERGENCY ALERT ONE

Now we mean business. #monsterdon

Sponsored by the Coca Cola company #monsterdon

lol, he's got his glam grenade on, his laser arm locked and ready to party

#Monsterdon

It’s kinda quaint to watch people unlock the doors of their car with a key. Like a physical key. I miss that.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

@diazona I thought it was science because of the printer with the dots on the side, that you squint at without removing it from the printer

#Monsterdon

where are the gloves, mr lab man?
#monsterdon

Focus! Fo-cus!

#Monsterdon

y'all should consider gloves and maybe not touching your mouth immediately after handling the alien disk with your bare hands #monsterdon

But what can you use the coke _for_?

#monsterdon #laserblast

ah yes put the vial of growing alien metal in the suitcase. very good idea

#monsterdon

We're gonna need a montage~~ FOR SCIENCE!
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

we're going to the lab and doing things. We might learn something! And what will we do with the information we uncover? #monsterdon

I can't accept Tony Craig as belonging to a three letter agency. It's the pompadour #monsterdon

Beakers and microscopes mean it's actually science

#Monsterdon

Everybody knows Mike. #Monsterdon

"Whatever it is, it's growing."

Can't be the audience's interest, then.

#Monsterdon

So, I guess the doc got laserzapped on the way *back* from dropping the Alien Disc off at the lab.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

#Monsterdon

Lizard dudes were like,

"He killed Roddy McDowel!"

They forgot to subtitle the aliens. #Monsterdon

[Billy shows everyone his chest cyst]
[everyone]: "I never seen anything like that!"
[people do science, shake their heads]

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

what the hell, the sample survived the burning car? now THAT s science fiction
#monsterdon

Wow, that's a lot of overly large Erlenmeyer flasks!

#Monsterdon

The movie is reading negative zero one six on the quality scale

#Monsterdon

About 75% of science is learning how to squint correctly. #monsterdon

I bet the aliens are doing stuff

#Monsterdon

Scientists are dispatched to examine Laserblast for even a *quanta* of plot relevance...

#monsterdon

In the script the suit guy was supposed to always be carrying a Perrier and a jar of Grey Poupon.

#Monsterdon

@darrenmorin

That could be #Monsterdon's Mystery Machine

Microscopes for metallurgy! Sure!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"Yep, these are all empty flasks"
"Agreed"

#Monsterdon

Science montage!

#monsterdon

"Well it's still an 1874 silver dollar, mister, no matter how many times we X-ray it"

#monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon science montage!

"that's weird, and I'm looking for weird things. Okay, you can go, because... because... oh fuck it." #monsterdon

I sure hope that interferometer is calibrated

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

This is suit-guy's second three piece suit fwiw

is billy a real person? I've owned tamogachi's with more personality

#Monsterdon

Sure, just let him walk away.

#Monsterdon

"What do you think?" the Sheriff asks. How Mr Craig's answer isn't "I think you did a piss-poor job of sealing the town, Sherriff" is beyond me.

#monsterdon

'Dr Mellon,s dead, murdered—and SOMEONE’s responsible!'

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Also, now Billy's wearing a shirt that's too small for him and has cap sleeves for some reason

@LingLass
Actually, we are
vehicles are a close second

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I don't understand what the hell is going on.

But the movie doesn't seem to care, so I'm not sure why I should.

#monsterdon So, they left the bigfoot-mobile in the street?

Until tonight, I'd never actually seen a van mod with Bigfoot handles. #Monsterdon #LaserBlast

Come on, movie! Why'd you have to kill the one guy with a drop of kindness?

#monsterdon #laserblast

@LingLass They do more emoting than the actors, though. #monsterdon

billy's striped v-neck, cute! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Did someone tell CBS Television Studios that there was an unlicensed LCARS installation on that spaceship? _WHY_ didn't someone tell them?

hehehehehehe right in the belly, that's good pete

#monsterdon

Don't talk to cops, Billy. I'm not discussing my day, where I've been, or where I'm going. #monsterdon #laserblast

Is anyone in this group sober, right now? #monsterdon

Vehicles are getting the worst of it in this film #Monsterdon

“We found what’s left of Dr. Mellon. It’s just the rind. #Monsterdon

lmao why's he sitting in the back with him
#monsterdon

I would really like to know why those feet.

#monsterdon #laserblast

Doctor didn't get much screentime huh

I prefered him over Mr. stick-up-his-ass from Washington.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Again, I ask. Why are we being told the things in these scenes instead of, oh, I don't know, what the flip is going on and why suit-guy is there and why nobody cares about the roddy death and all?

Wait, the laserblaster has an 'high-intensity spotlight' mode, too?

#monsterdon

why are there feet on the van? and that extra hole in one of them? #monsterdon

When he puts on a shirt, my brain just starts thinking of him as a different character. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Is my projector on the fritz or do some of the shots at our hero's house flicker a bit?

"I'm not interested in discussing my itinerary with you, officer. Am I under arrest?'

#Monsterdon

maybe the suit guy is the turtle aliens point of contact in earth
#monsterdon

In terms of actual plot, though...

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

ooooh, "we're running out of time." Chilling! #monsterdon

This just makes me want to watch The Van

#monsterdon

the film is trying to send us a coded warning in these flashes. s... o... s... #monsterdon

I wonder how his mom's doing in Acapulco. I bet that's a more interesting film than this.

#Monsterdon

I found WALDO!!! #monsterdon

How many different suits did the government guy bring? And how does half the town know him already?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Calibrate the interferometer? But I just met 'er!

#Monsterdon

And now - a shirt that won't unbutton! What will they think of next?

#monsterdon
#Laserblast

Just noticing the fuzzy feet on the side of the van.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Aaaaand that's a wrap. #monsterdon

@moira That's all the time they could afford him for.

#monsterdon #laserblast

@Taweret I bet the techs working on that part were totally isolated from the rest of the production. Imagine what they felt when they first sat down for a screening #monsterdon

Nick Offerman's dad as guy on phone.

#monsterdon

No idea what's happening, the doctor just pulls a chunk of metal out of his chest without even wearing a mask, then sends him home with a piece of gauze strapped to his chest. I guess if Billy somehow doesn't have skin cancer yet, he's probably invulnerable.

#monsterdon

Idk why, that car roll reminded me of the baby scene from Kung Pow
#Monsterdon

Producer: Listen, we need to cut our writing budget by 50%. Who’s got ideas? #Monsterdon

I don't understand. What was making the blinding bright light?

#monsterdon

The faraway doc reminds me of Nick Offerman.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

"might have been an accident"

#Monsterdon

Roddy McDowall agreed to play this small role for $300 - that he used for car repairs.

#Monsterdon

I'm calibrated my interferometer also!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

So, there's a headlight attached to the laserblaster? Is that what blinded the doc?

Oh, and BOOM!

More aliens, yay!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"I'm calibrating my inter thermometer" is now my new excuse for getting out of work. #monsterdon

Someone needs to send the aliens the #monsterdon hash tag. If they have to watch this garbage too they might as well join in riffing with us. #Laserblast

D2 is predicting time travel element. #Monsterdon

"calibrating my inteferometer."
oh is that what they call it now.
#monsterdon
