A ship made of Lite Brite? #Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Jfc, can this man wear a shirt?!

#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

"He's got an affadavit"

??????????

#monsterdon

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

#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

Big turtle set trippin!! #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

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

There are three of them! #monsterdon

LLAP. #Monsterdon #startrek

yes yes, heil lord whorfin

#monsterdon #laserblast

I fucking love these aliens
#monsterdon

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!

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf They really buried her dialog under the music. #monsterdon

Hey, it's just a radiation burn. #monsterdon

Did she just spend one minute to walk for 30 seconds and be in the same place multiple times? This editing is phenomenal! #Monsterdon #laserblast

okay I hate everything else. but these guys? I likes these guys

#Monsterdon

Alien turtle butt!

#monsterdon

That alien's playing Galaga. He didn't think we'd notice. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

I do like her custom embroidered chambray shirt though.

It'd be better if it were buttoned up obvs

Correction: I would not be opposed to Granddaughter surviving, but I'm not particularly caring either way.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

yay the best part of the movie

#monsterdon

meanwhile, in Robot Chicken

#monsterdon #laserblast

Is that a bathtub?

In space?

#Monsterdon

They both about ready for #Medicare #monsterdon

He has this urge to blow shit up #monsterdon

After I say, "It's just you and me and the sky" I also always say, "it is like a giant cup."

#Monsterdon

"Why can't you be more normal?"

This isn't normal 80's teenager behavior?

#Monsterdon

See, that's why you wear shirt!!
#monsterdon

"over my dead body"
someone PLEASE arrange that.
#monsterdon

Her Mood ring is saying she's not digging Billy

#monsterdon

This movie may be awful, but her performance is sublime. #Monsterdon

Luke Sky-sitter.

#monsterdon

@vansice They have chemistry. It's not *good* chemistry, but still #monsterdon
