No 2nd takes! #monsterdon

I think this the scene when Billy picks his porn name. #Monsterdon

She is legitimately the worst. Just babbling nonsense.

But then the heroes return! They don't speak English and make more sense than her!

Weird how the aliens can rewind the movie to see what happened.

#monsterdon #laserblast

oh boy eddies gonna look like a lobster by the time he wakes up from that nap
#monsterdon

That had to be the quietest splash I've ever heard at a pool
#Monsterdon

choosing to believe those are real aliens borrowed from some secret military base in the desert who just wanted to do some acting #Monsterdon

Incidentally, would you see a movie called "Monster Don" about the rise of a Mafioso made from the parts of dead Mafiosi? Because most of them were 'rats', he's got a lot of revenge to process….

(…or else it's about a certain president, and the revenge plot is as before.)

#monsterdon

camera operator expected her to go another direction, that's okay, we'll roll with it

#monsterdon #laserblast

Twistin by the Pool!

#Monsterdon

@RobotDiver "Yeah they're up to something."

#monsterdon #laserblast

I can't decide how I feel about the fact that all of these actors have tan lines that imply they wear even smaller stuff when they aren't on set.

#Monsterdon

Back again at icky romance.
#monsterdon

The hero certainly is an ambitious one, isn't he?

#Monsterdon

ah yes, obviously the most happenin' pool party this side of the local cemetary. #monsterdon

More lazy than usual? #monsterdon

I've been to that party.

Kill me now. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "can't swim babe. gotta recharge my laser"

I also heard that it aint so hot.

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, back at the motel pool birthday party ...

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Same pool set as the one in Boogie Nights #monsterdon

"What if instead of Ewoks we had girls in bikinis....."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Red hot franks? You literally just said that. Nobody laughed either time. Better say it again. #monsterdon #laserblast

A ship made of Lite Brite? #Monsterdon

The 70s Mojo Overload at this pool party I can't even

#Monsterdon

She's really bad at splashing water.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

This scene is likely our best opportunity for a Bechdel pass in this movie, oddly enough

#Monsterdon

That's a very mean thing to do to a 30-year-old woman

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

We did all wear those running shorts with the contrast trim though. That's authentic

@vansice Inorganic chemistry #monsterdon

no no elder cunningham

#monsterdon

AACK!*
*translation: "you two fucks killed the laser wielding alien monster... BUT YOU FORGOT TO PICK UP THE MURDER GUN! Get your asses back there!"
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Why is Billy the *one* person at that table wearing a shirt

#Monsterdon

"He's got an affadavit"

??????????

#monsterdon

mistah patata head is the only one who could even _try_ to pass for his theoretical age

#monsterdon #laserblast

70s pool party! Every teen movie from the 70s and early 80s has to have one.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Star Wars ruined it for all these shitty sci-fi 'B' films. People would no longer accept this 1950's green screen garbage. #monsterdon

@Crazypedia I appreciate the fact that you don't need to specify anything beyond "the christmas special" and we all know exactly what you're referring to (I wouldn't have, but some of the Monsterdron crew did a random weeknight watch back in December of it)

#Monsterdon

nooo eddie deezen's back

#monsterdon #laserblast

@steggy They are the spirit animal for Billy: they can't wear shells any more than he can wear a shirt. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

This guy had exactly ONE GOOD thing about him which was that his chest was covered. And for some reason they had him take off 2 of the 3 piece suit pieces and unbutton way too much good lord

#Monsterdon we interrupt this science fiction movie for a good american pool party

oh god, how much of this movie is deezen in? #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow GODS no

#monsterdon #laserblast

Sometimes this movie shows me actors that I think it has shown me before and I guess this is what it means by having "characters"?

#Monsterdon

Like The Culture, even when they leave a place they leave some micro-drones around.

#monsterdon

So many chests! #Monsterdon

Has the movie in any way established why we should care at all about any of this? #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Impressed that he didn't split his pants with that squat

#Monsterdon

This is the 70's movie Everyman. A party with 20 hot girls, 1 hot guy, 1 nerd, and 1 guy who makes a lot of jokes.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Best chance for Bechdel pass so far #monsterdon

Quick ground inspection. Yep, still there. Good job me. #monsterdon

He'll fool around in the desert but not with his girl. Got it. #Monsterdon #laserblast

there's a place in France where...

#Monsterdon

They really should have used subtitles for the aliens instead of replaying footage we already saw for no reason other than to make the kid look dumber the second time.

#Monsterdon

Uh oh. Are these more incompetent bounty hunters?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

Flashy Car Guy is no dummy, finding clues left and right like a boss #monsterdon

Wait. These turtle guys are the space equivalent of the stoner cops! They just got chewed out for leaving the laser lying around. #monsterdon #laserblast

Big turtle set trippin!! #monsterdon

Aliens are so good we don't even need subtitles
#monsterdon

"nobody told us monkeys knew how to use triggers" #monsterdon

Her grandfather's probably intended to be a veteran in a movie contemporary to 1978. He looks to be about 70, let's say born 1908 then. Too young for First World War, a bit old at least for combat in the Second. Also that's a fairly modern tunic he's wearing. When was he a colonel, exactly?

#monsterdon

70s G-man #monsterdon

Clearly he works at the Ministry of Slow Walks.

#monsterdon

'O! Great Guidance!'

#monsterdon

You don't need a translation of "alien cop chief chewing out the patrol cops" because we've seen this scene a thousand times before, in better movies! #monsterdon

I bet there's a fandom wiki where people have decoded the entire syntax and vocabulary of this alien language

And if not, it's up to me

#Monsterdon

"oh no, the drunk 5 year old got the laser blast you dumb fucks!"

#monsterdon

This has the confidence of the Star Wars Holiday Special that there’s no need to translate alien shrieking. #Monsterdon

the tubi description seems to have spoiled the movie entirely, but honestly if billy turns into one of these little guys that sounds like a pretty good outcome #monsterdon

Truly the most diabolical movie forces us to watch the movie within the movie so we can be bored a second time.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Looks like the aliens are inside the fourth wall? Like peeping turtle toms.

They left a camera in the desert huh

...multiple cameras?

#Monsterdon

mweep! (^_^)Ψ #monsterdon

This movie is also personally annoying to me. As I am a pale blonde dude and when I got chicken pox they didn't really itch that much, but I did have one large collection of red bumps in one lump that was right in the center of my sternum... so I looked too much like Billy here.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

And we're back to E.T. #monsterdon

Yes, more stop motion aliens, please!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"It me!"

#monsterdon #laserblast

The head alien's mad cause he paid $2.50 to watch this lousy film. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Missing Subtitles:
"...you left the laser blaster, you fools! Look, an idiot found it!"

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"Bigass turtles, where's master laser pew-pew"
#monsterdon

Lite Brite at top of ship. #Monsterdon

@diazona 😂

#Monsterdon

It seems that the aliens are also the cinematographers of this movie!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

lucky thing the aliens have access to the movie footage #monsterdon

Yay! The aliens are back

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

i like turtles #monsterdon

It's impossible to be nostalgic for, like, 10 minutes ago.

#monsterdon

I would die for these turtle aliens.

#monsterdon #laserblast

@CoachJZ some poor AI crunching algorithms hallucinates every Sunday during #Monsterdon

are those light brights???
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

The aliens' bug keisters are just delightful tho

This spacecraft is so noisy you can hear it in space. #monsterdon #laserblast

@hollie I feel like this would be my niche

#Monsterdon

LLAP. #Monsterdon #startrek

There are three of them! #monsterdon

yes yes, heil lord whorfin

#monsterdon #laserblast

Love the Lite-Brite control panel.

#monsterdon

"We have film of down-market Mark Hamill finding it!"

#Monsterdon

Damn Interocitor! Red! I told you to fix this damn thing!

#monsterdon

5..,er, 3 of the best buddy!
