Billy took the doctor out? That seemed unmotivated. Managed a big fireball anyway.

#monsterdon

did they crank this at the wrong speed then have to step-exposure it in the print to fix it? Is that why all the flicker?

JESUS this is a cheap movie

#monsterdon #laserblast

Roddy McDowall. 😔

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

For the record, @zzclaybourne and I agreed we would watch a whole movie of the stop-motion alien cops. #monsterdon

Well we certainly wouldn't want an uncalibrated interferometer, would we? #monsterdon

@strangefour the entire budget of the movie went into that, a car crash, explosions, and clay-mation. Worth it. #Monsterdon

@ramsey as if

#Monsterdon

"I'm calibrating my interferometer," is how scientists back then got out of dates, like, "Sorry, I'm washing my hair."

#Monsterdon
#Laserblast

Oh right that's why I always forget Roddy is here. He's barely in 3 minutes of this movie.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Actual Roddy McDowall? He'd do anything for a buck!

#monsterdon #laserblast

its cool what they can do with cgi now and everything but it just never matches the charm of a hand made creature effect

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Thanks, doc.
How long before I can take my shirt off?

So the Space Turtles aren't actually *in* this they are just watching this #Monsterdon along with us I guess

"I'm calibrating my interferometer"

whoa, dude, oversharing

#Monsterdon

Okay, WHY BLOW UP THE DAMN DOC #monsterdon

Billy has no reason to do that. At all. Except McDowell faked his own death to get out of this movie.

It's too bad that wasn't Elon Musk driving a cybertruck.

#Monsterdon

@allanb I guess... #monsterdon

Oh! The turtle aliens are participating in #Monsterdon! What's your handle, Grxx'lthor?

#Monsterdon

lol, Laserblaster waiting for Roddy McDowell in the night

Turtle Aliens, yayy!

#Monsterdon

Since when did the laser have a search light on it?

also: laser count: 12

#monsterdon

No! Not Doctor Mellon!

#monsterdon

I was hoping that in a movie called LASTERBLAST I was going to get some chances to deploy Mooninite gifs

#Monsterdon

This metal chest thing is such a strange detail that iirc goes absolutely nowhere

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i miss 70s wood paneling

My favorite Roddy McDowell. By a MILE.....#monsterdon

OMG Billy is actually wearing a shirt, buttoned up

#Monsterdon

Now how about this, do you feel this?

<takes out mallet>

#monsterdon

Roddy Mcdowell looking at that needle like it was sweet golden brown that brought him here to making this crap for pennies....

#Monsterdon

Who did it better? Yeti or Laser Blast? #monsterdon

"You know what Franny told me this morning? She said she's sick of people using her for her pool and telling her that cake isn't good for her, so she joined a feminist collective and invited all us girls to come with her, apparently we can eat whatever we want and we're going to deconstruct something called the 'partriarchy'? Anyway, BYE"

#Monsterdon
#Laserblast

What's that stamped on the disk? "Drop and run"?

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

weirdest x-ray ever. By the looks of the doc, Billy is going to me sexually molested.
#monsterdon

"Can I get dressed now, doctor?"

WTF? You haven't wanted to put your shirt on all movie. Now, you want to put it on?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

I want gloves like those!

#monsterdon

"Well, actually, I'm an expert in lightning."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"kid's nuts."

"what nuts?"

"DEEZEN nuts! LMAO gottem" #monsterdon

DO NOT NAME DROP BETTER MOVIES IN YOUR SHITTY MOVIE oh my gods why is Roddy McDowell in this trainwreck?!

#monsterdon #laserblast

#Monsterdon “Be serious!” // “I don’t know how…”

"Someone blew up his car!"
":surprised_pikachu:"
#monsterdon

"Tease Shirt" lmao

#Monsterdon

billy gotta big metal thang between his nipples

#monsterdon

"Somebody blew up Chucks car"

*like the most guilty man on Earth ]

"WHAT?!"

#Monsterdon

So our lead is a low budget Mark Hamill, and this fed guy feels like a low budget Bill Bixby to me.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

devilgirl.jpg: "My God Billy it's bigger!"

#Monsterdon

dr melon. is this the sort of movie where dr melon is a woman with large breasts? i fear it is. #monsterdon

"My god Billy, it's bigger."

#monsterdon

@jammerb a symbol for him losing his innocence? #monsterdon

Good news--the movie's HALF OVER! #monsterdon

"My God Billy it's bigger!"

hrnnnnnngh...

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

#Monsterdon

HES BUTTONING HIS SHIRT

#monsterdon

I suppose that's the other thing this movie has going for it -- it treats cops with the appropriate gravitas :DisasterGirl:

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon So far, this is kind of also like taking too many tranquilizers. I’m here, just not really witnessing any action. And it’s okay. I guess. Come here plot, anyone seen the plot? *makes kissy noises to draw the plots attention*

I'm scary because I have a suit and a piece of paper that says I'm a Fed. #monsterdon

"Oh, we need a sheriff? Get one from Central Casting!" #monsterdon

@moira but the frogurt is cursed!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Good police response time around here. The car blew up last night and the cops are checking it out the next morning?

And... movie hits th halfway mark #monsterdon

NGL the scenery and the blue license plates keep making me homesick for the 80s summers I spent in California visiting my dad. #Monsterdon

ah laserblasted the sheriff

but i did not laserblasted the deputies

#monsterdon #laserblast

@SRLevine I have a feeling that movies that pass are in fact statistically lousier than the others, but don't have the energy to crunch the numbers #monsterdon

"...how can you eat a hot tamale first thing in the morning?"
"I'm stoned as shit, that's how."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

every scene with these two cops makes me long for the cops in Beverly Hills Cop. #monsterdon

yo, tamales are great for breakfast #monsterdon

That's right! Because apparently you have to travel in pairs round those parts. #monsterdon

@Lazarou But not much of an emotional payoff compared to what it might have been #monsterdon

That's amazing. He shot the car once, but it exploded SIX times!
#monsterdon

at least in Critters Eddie deezen was only on screen for a couple of minutes and got killed off

#Monsterdon

Christ there's more? #Monsterdon #Laserblast

you know youre a sad fuck if you get bullied and beat up by the annoying nerd from wargames

#monsterdon

@meanderingok this also applies to tonight's #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Wait is laserblastbilly also doppelbilly? Wasn't he the one who was jumping into the convertible?

uggg, these cops again...

#Monsterdon

That's what sexual predators deserve—having their cars blown up!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

laser blast: 11

exploded car count: 1

#monsterdon

This movie is basically about a drug addict finding an automatic weapon in the desert and being a little shit.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

At least SOMEONE got lucky at the party. #monsterdon

I had the most marvelous time!

I'll bet!

Is that a bechdel pass??

#monsterdon

Looks like somebody finally ate birthday girl’s cake. If you know what I mean. #Monsterdon

we as a society have decided that we wear shirts. that it's generally nicer for everyone that way

button your goddamn shirt

#Monsterdon

Billy has a face that just screams "not gonna end well". He must've blown them away during casting. #monsterdon

Does Billy get midnight urges for milk? #Monsterdon

Billy's nipples in dramatic lighting now

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon somebody's gonna get laserblasted soon

... meanwhile in Acapulco...
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Day 57 of Billy's shirtlessness continues unabated.

#monsterdon

Wonder what's going on in Acapulco.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

@Lazarou This is the lamest foiling I've ever seen.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon That is a mythically powerful badminton racquet.

LOL @ new scene....no shirt!

#Monsterdon

Sorry about the film.

Here's a picture of Ruby that will help the film go faster.

also for @sidd_harth0_5h4h
#monsterdon

ma'am, don't apologize, you haven't done anything wrong-- okay, besides the part where you voluntarily signed up to be in this movie, but the script's not your fault. #monsterdon

She gave him a backhanded compliment, hey-oh! #Monsterdon

🎵It’s my party, I can eat half of the cake if I want to 🎶

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

It’s both a Coke and a Pepsi movie! #Monsterdon

Tennis racket or Laser Blaster? 🤔

#monsterdon

@Bluedepth *puffs and passes*
#Monsterdon

"Overhead smash him!" #monsterdon

Her hair looks pretty good for having just been in the pool.

#monsterdon

Billy's missing a golden opportunity to laserblast these harassers. That's unforgivable #monsterdon

help I'm getting paneling poisoning #monsterdon
