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 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?
@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
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
βWe found whatβs left of Dr. Mellon. Itβs just the rind. #Monsterdon
lmao why's he sitting in the back with him
#monsterdon
I would really like to know why those feet.
Doctor didn't get much screentime huh
I prefered him over Mr. stick-up-his-ass from Washington.

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?
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?'
maybe the suit guy is the turtle aliens point of contact in earth
#monsterdon
In terms of actual plot, though...
ooooh, "we're running out of time." Chilling! #monsterdon
This just makes me want to watch The Van
the film is trying to send us a coded warning in these flashes. s... o... s... #monsterdon
I found WALDO!!! #monsterdon
How many different suits did the government guy bring? And how does half the town know him already?
Calibrate the interferometer? But I just met 'er!
And now - a shirt that won't unbutton! What will they think of next?
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.
@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.
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.
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%. Whoβs got ideas? #Monsterdon
I don't understand. What was making the blinding bright light?
The faraway doc reminds me of Nick Offerman.
"might have been an accident"
So, there's a headlight attached to the laserblaster? Is that what blinded the doc?
Oh, and BOOM!
More aliens, yay!
I'm calibrated my interferometer also!
Roddy McDowall agreed to play this small role for $300 - that he used for car repairs.
"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
they made peggy wait up past midnight too?!
I love the interferometery calibration sub-plot
I just want to flail excitedly every time there are Turtle Friends.
[McDowall injects himself to get through the rest of his scene.]
@moira They're grading on a curve so he had to go #monsterdon
One upside: The aliens are truly alien. I cannot figure out a single thought or emotion they are having.
(Aside from "How do we get out of this film"?)
Alien 1: Oh, no, I liked him in Planet of the Apes!
Alien 2: Yeah, what a shame.
calibrating his interferometer... what about the interocitor, buddy!
The dead of night is the best time to transport your medical samples, of course
All cars in the 70s were actually slightly more likely to explode than that. #monsterdon #laserblast
Is that a bicentennial quarter? #Monsterdon
yay the E.T.s are back to put things right
#Monsterdon π¦ π¦ π π₯π½ π¦ π π₯πΎ π±
And Roddy is now free from the confines of this terrible movie
And goodbye Roddy McDowell #Monsterdon
So, when Billy wears the necklace thing, he becomes someone else? Is that what's going on here?
@b I'd also been thinking "well, half of it's gone, so at least some of her 'friends' ate some cake" and of course that was probably the joke all along and I'm angry with myself for figuring that out before Billy's snark
okay, two cars, two explosions. not bad. #monsterdon
two less cars
okay why did he burn the only good actor in thi.... oooooh, of course.
Kid's outta control now, time to call X Force
Remember when cars were cheap enough that even B movies could afford to light a few of them on fire?
OMG - He just Mangionied his Health Care worker! #monsterdon
damn they doing good with these car explosions
#monsterdon
You hate to see all that CO2 go up into the atmosphere, and we're paying for it now #monsterdon
@MargaretSefton ...ly terrible?
"I'm surprised you notice something like lunchtime" is a pretty funny bit of men-at-work kibitz
Medical scene wasn't too bad actually. I mean I don't know medical or filmmaking technicals but it wasn't complete rubbish I guess?
"It will be after midnight - I've got a drag show I just can't skip. I'm the second understudy!"
#monsterdon Laserblast, AKA Roddy McDowell just needs a fix okay?
Hmm. Feels like this is kinda surgical. Should we see more masking and maybe an assistant?
@riedlr Too Soon!
The chest wound make up is actually pretty good. A+ one make up guy on staff.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast
Dilated pore of arcade token. #monsterdon #laserblast
A planet where doctors evolved from apes!?'
The writing for this movie script is exquisite. #Monsterdon
@hollie Franny is demure #monsterdon
My attention wavers and suddenly Billy is wearing a shirt. A long sleeved one at that! #Monsterdon
"Can I get dressed now Dr. Mellon?" Well, why start now, Billy?
Apparently the time it takes to process a blood test hasn't changed in 47 years
#monsterdon
Movie: "Oh my God Billy, it's getting bigger!"
Me: Pfft π€£
@apLundell why would you wake up for something like that? You can't bully or arrest the lightning! #monsterdon #eyeroll #sarcasm
Mike is dressed in somebody else's jacket for some reason
They're really trying to squeeze out as much juice from Roddy as they can huh #monsterdon
Billy's masculinity is so threatened I feel bad for him.
That Doctor doesn't seem familiar with forceps. I'd get out right quick.
Was that a fluoroscope? β’οΈ
Doctor said 'no, not yet' when Billy asked if he could get dressed. So, turns out he's been shirtless the whole movie on doctor's orders. #Monsterdon
Itβs a communion wafer. #Monsterdon
At least Roddy McDowell still got to be in Batman: The Animated Series after this.
ok it's a half dollar but whatever
Well;, that there metal plate just popped right out, easy-pleasy.
