It's interpretive dance with laser gun while wearing some extremely 70's jeans!

#Monsterdon

Perhaps it's me being a nerd but that's a nice fucking gun. #monsterdon

Wait did I just notice he's wearing bell bottom jeans for this rampage?

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

Is firing a machine gun out of a cesna the best this mysterious agency could muster?

#Monsterdon

Don Howard? #monsterdon

@socketwench I think the plot is that no one appreciates Billy's innocent, non-toxic masculinity and everyone bullies him and then his pain turns him into a laser-shooting monster.

#Monsterdon

Yeah the airplane guys are so dating

#Monsterdon
#Laserblast

It's still got the fuckin stickers on the back window #monsterdon

70s Porn Stache For.The.Win! #monsterdon

Of course the score has to go all militarist on us. Of course #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Again I am forced to ask: why are we learning the information in this scene?

Yep. From the air the town's still a shithole. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Ah back when renting a C172 for the day cost a bag of peanuts and a six-pack.

#monsterdon

"He's supposed to be a hot one"

Not as hot as he thinks....

#Monsterdon

This soundtrack is the most dissonant thing about this movie.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

We could be watching 82 minutes of laser blasts flying around set to blues music and it would be way better

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe getting their money's worth there, who cares about pacing

#Monsterdon

Froggy, he's just not that into you. #monsterdon

Is Billy in that plane?

#Monsterdon

Colonel also doesn't know how to button his shirt. Billy's clearly the perfect match for his granddaughter.

#monsterdon

"And I can't believe I'll be in more major motion pictures than everyone else in this movie combined!"

#Monsterdon

Why is the first person camera running through the weeds a foot high? Are they trying to tell us he was slithering through the grass right after running?

#monsterdon

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

just saying

#Monsterdon

Not the pinball machine! Anything but that.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The soundtrack took Quaaludes.

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

#Monsterdon

RIP local arcade.
. . .
Why is the soundtrack farting?
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

cc: <“crickets chirping”>
me: “Yup.”
#monsterdon

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

And unexplains others

#Monsterdon

So much nothing happened! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no! Not the pinball machine!

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

OMG scary alien-Billy gets up to chase the girl, instantly runs into the front of the van, and topples backwards - defeated

one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen thank you movie

This is why you don't put on other peoples' jewelry

#Monsterdon
#Laserblast

#Monsterdon Looks like poop necklace Billy has a oh-face reflex problem and likely premature ejection. *gulp*

Unnecessary extreme close-ups

#monsterdon

yep. have sex, get punished. Pure 70s. #monsterdon

omg... Billy, the lighting is so bad for you... #monsterdon

#monsterdon Looks like Troop 66 is missing a Boy Scout uniform.

oh the colonel lets HIM in, eh?

#monsterdon

HO HO HO

DEAD GIRLFRIEND

oh wait she got away okay

#monsterdon #laserblast

You could put jaunty strings over that lovemaking scene and you could mistake it for the focaccia episode of The Great British Bake-off. #monsterdon

girl, go find that girl with the pool and a whole cake to her name, that would be a much better choice. #monsterdon

Okay, so he's only green at night? It's like a were-hulk thing?

#monsterdon

CAthy's mood ring is still not into it. #monsterdon

@rebeld To be fair pretty much all these scenes are unnecessary

#Monsterdon

"oh billy, that open wound on your chest gets me so horny...."

#Monsterdon

STOP. THIS. NOW

#Monsterdon

oh god that super-close-up kissing my EYES

#monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Come on, unnecessary jump cuts where the heck are you when we need you???

This is the unsexiest make-out scene ever.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

@Lazarou I'm on her grandpa's side now #monsterdon

Might want to dial back that zoom lens a bit.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

#Monsterdon Billy looks like a loaf of bread you forgot in a breadbox for too long. That green cast. Just like bread growing mold. Just the same amount of acting chops too.

ew ew ew, do we really need to see their lips that close??? like, ew. #monsterdon

EWWWWWWWWWW

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is the uncanny valley of sex scenes

Too close! Too close! #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Are those white power symbols on those rings?

#Monsterdon

They have their serious science faces on. #monsterdon

ma'am, you can really do better. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"I can use a Coke" was a little-known advertising campaign for Coca-cola in the late 1970s.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

@helianthropy my car has a fob and key entry. It's bisexual. #Monsterdon

If all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail, amiright? #monsterdon

Billy's all green and stuff is he turning into a Space Turtle?

I hope he is becoming a Space Turtle we need MORE SPACE TURTLES!!! :ameowbongo: #Monsterdon

Yeah, some quality LASERBLASTING, this is the stuff, oh yeah, right there

#Monsterdon

Appreciate the effort they went to in destroying that fake gas station and police car!

#Monsterdon

Ah blew up the outhouse

but I did not blew up the deput - oh wait I did okay good

#monsterdon #laserblast

At least we consistently have something getting laserblasted every night

#Monsterdon

Wide-tie suit man has a Bill Bixby thing going on. I wonder if they make him mad, will he turn green and rip-open his suit?

#monsterdon

The rest of that lab looked pretty reasonable though, for a fairly messy lab anyway. (Yes I'm snotty about lab organization, but I'll be the first to admit my bench is sometimes worse than that...)

#Monsterdon

okay so he IS five and he's got his trick or treating makeup on now

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf I thought the suit guy found the alien disc in the car wreckage

#Monsterdon

KILL THE COPS DO IT

#monsterdon

It takes me quite a while to calibrate my interthermometer. I can relate. #Monsterdon #laserblast

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

KILL! KILL!!! KILL!!!!!

#Monsterdon

"thanks mike" your part in this movie is now complete. pick up your paycheck and your apology letter at the front desk. #monsterdon

Ah yes, peering into microscopes, looking at printouts, observing liquids in glassware--some serious science is happening here. No gas chromatography, though. Might have been useful. #monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon It honestly looks like they’re perusing a shoddy inventory manifest.

*insert five minute wordless Science Montage™*

Riveting. You could cut the tension with a scalpel.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the science doers are doing science

God I love this montage. It's so stupid. #monsterdon

Just when I though this movie couldn't get any slower. Now we have a "guys looking through things montage" #Monsterdon #Laserblast

I bet the aliens are doing stuff

#Monsterdon

"Do you mind showing us?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"

#monsterdon

science montage is era tight

#Monsterdon

Time for SCIENCE!

#monsterdon #laserblast

Oh good. An extended lab scene without dialog. Those aren’t boring at all. #Monsterdon

push BOTH buttons

then look at the enlarger!

push some more buttons!

Now look at a liquid in a flask and frown.

#monsterdon

Like it or not, you wake up with a thrid nipple, you should go see a doctor. #monsterdon

Laserblast says ACAB
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"You need a ride back, Billy?"

"No thanks, if I walk we'll get more filler footage to pad this runtime"

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou He doesn't need to be asked twice #monsterdon

lol, be freaked out, but just let him go, yeah?

#Monsterdon

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

Maybe doing this film was some kind of community service thing for Roddy McDowall. He was like "There my scene is over that should take care of those speeding tickets" #Monsterdon #Laserblast

"I'm calibrating my interferometer."

No matter what you call it, it's enjoyable.
