Ashes to ashes dirt to dust eh Doris? #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Wonder what they made
@Louisa Dealing bootlegs movies! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
or maybe itβs the end of Evangelion where everyone turns to Tang but they forgot to add water #monsterdon
βIf he screwed that film up, we could all be in a lot of trouble,β he says before he walks out the door and sees whatβs happened to the world. #Monsterdon
Wait, if everybody's dead, who's spinning the vinyl at the radio station?
eggamuffin
egg muff
is this why the girl was dressed like condiments? so we'd know she didn't get dusted with doris?
Superman may have seen them getting busy but steel walls kept The Comet out at least #Monsterdon
Everyone got turned into ruby cocoa powder, the trendiest of cocoa powders
Everyone got hugged and turned into (powdered) TANG
really nailing the light in this montage, we are so spoiled on shitty day for night and night for day and their various permutations that i almost didn't believe it #monsterdon
@socketwench This might not be the correct audience to answer that question?
(superhero powers no, random points from scifi books, well I can't deny that, but in my defense I turned out to be ace and that might explain the "sex isn't going to keep my attention" thing?)
Brake service for $59.95 seems high for those times #monsterdon
Dunno whats creepier, fiats or the dealer clown
#Monsterdon
And everyone died. The end. Good movie. Short and to the point. #monsterdon
Fiat pulled out of the US market in 1983 so this may be the last video evidence of Fiat dealerships in America (recent years notwithstanding). #monsterdon
#monsterdon Edward Hopperville, population 3 (and they all quietly hate each other)
Oh hey I had that Huffy BMX. it came with a bunch of goofy yellow and blue safety pads my parents wouldn't let me take off :-(
Evyone toin to dus
"He who controls the spice..."
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
whoops, looks like everybody's been reduced to colored sidewalk chalk, guess i'll never know who DMK is. #monsterdon
Third impact AGAIN!?
@howler0502 I played Galaga a fair bit, but Zaxxon was my meat. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Dust, eh?
Anyway it looks like everybody got turned into Lawry's Seasoning Salt.
Did the plants and flies and stuff also turn to dust?
Ooooh a left behind type of movie #monsterdon
Rapture?
#monsterdon
Comet Rapture #monsterdon
Love the mechanical timers clicking on at daybreak, really nice touch. Surprised I haven't seen it in a movie before!
So our hero didn't go home as ordered by her wicked stepmother, and didn't watch the meteor shower like I thought she wanted? She had sex in the projection booth with the 30 year old Dave Coulier look alike? Wuh
OK this girl interrupting make out sesh to school ten dollar nerd on Superman's powers is fantastic she is awesome #Monsterdon
It's one of those comet/meteor shower things that vaporize the people, but leave their shoes and clothes.
that duck finally happy to have the pool to himself for once. #monsterdon
man that little duck farts like a big man
When the people are away all the robots come to life!
NIGHT OF THE BANK HOLIDAY.
Okay I genuinely love this bit where it's like, all of the automated stuff is turning on because of timers and whatnot, while everyone is turned to dust
Great cinematography and use of juxtaposition
I admit, I did not guess that this was going to turn into the Rapture.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Oh hell yeah, I remember those BMX bikes with the plastic rims.
#monsterdon
ok sax fade to black is fine but i wish we had like 30 more seconds of comet mayhem because that magenta sky pattern fuckin rocked #monsterdon
Oh god if I ever saw that clown in front of a service station I'd hit the GAS
tony will never have to fix it again, sad lonely clown
OH GOD IT'S A ZOMBIE CLOW- oh
never mind #Monsterdon
oh no I want one of those little yellow cars #monsterdon
The suspension of disbelief that's needed to just go with the electricity still flowing with everyone dead requires some serious tensile strength. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
@paco I'm hopeful we can do better than that #monsterdon
Oh shit, it's the Rapture! #Monsterdon
"You got film freaks who'd go down on you for that."
For It Came from Outer Space? I mean we are freaks, but we have limits.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Nice of the car to roll to a stop perfectly at the line like that. #Monsterdon
And everyone is dust! #Monsterdon
Radio playing to no one always creeps me out #Monsterdon
I'm sure most....normal....people probably don't have heated discussions on superhero powers during sex....
...right? :blobsweat:
Wow, everyone in that city was a Jedi?
"You were born with an asshole, you do not need Chuck"π
gurl you find a better man than one who cant tell you basic comic book facts
i bet he can't even say shit about star wars either
#monsterdon VAPORIZED?!
mmm free-flowing grit
HAHA take that dude, she's the better nerd
That sky's brought to you by Blast Processing. #Monsterdon
Cue the Triffids!
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Oh this looks like SF that time there was a fire #monsterdon
#Monsterdon And why were they made of steel? Because films were made of acetate and, you know, flammable. #FunFacts
Larry might be the only teenager in an 80's film who actually knew what foreplay was.

βοΈ TRIVIA OF THE COMET
The scenes of an empty Los Angeles were filmed in the morning on normal business days. The shots of the barren city were done quickly while the traffic was held up at stoplights.
okay, i take it back about the gold bars, she seems to be enjoying herself. just because I wouldn't make that choice, doesn't make it a bad choice. #monsterdon
I swear I had every single one of the sweaters so far in this movie in the 1980s.
Wait, what was that skyline? LA? It certainly wasn't NYC...
My great grandmother talked about Haley in 1910 all the time #monsterdon
Oh the simple joys of an old arcade cabinet.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
Huh, sky turned into zebra pudding. #Monsterdon
He's moving like he's assembling a lego set behind her back #monsterdon
OMG IT'S HAPPENING IT'S strobe lighting YEEEAAAHHHH!!!
Sweet sexy comic nerd talk. #Monsterdon
yeah he's the nerd while you're the one who has the deets on what superman can see through
(I am also the nerd)
Y'all I saw Hale-Bopp on its 1997 flyby and it did NOT make noise. #Monsterdon
I, too, have a bad headache whenever I look at intense flashing lights for too long
Regina knows her Superman lore, too! <3 <3
Wait, the Sandinistas are in this movie?
#Monsterdon gotta sit this one out tonight, tech difficulties
"Not these walls they're made out of steel!" IMPORTANT! #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
SPECIAL EFFECTS #monsterdon
Reg correcting this doofus on superman the exact way I was about to correct him like... hashtag relatable protagonist #monsterdon
#monsterdon That print of IT came from outer space would take a while to duplicate, given that 3d would mean twice the reels...
While typing: OH HEY LITTLE BUDDY
Oh my god are you making it with him for $15???
Why does he have a sleeping bag in the projection booth?
"Everybody thought they were gonna die then, too!"
"What's that!?"
well, you're gonna die, of course. #Monsterdon
WTF!!!!!!!
Also I'm sorry to everyone who got optimistic about the captions on this YouTube version, the background noise and music make them impossible
Gratuitous domestic violence! #monsterdon
Wow, that was not an open slap. Fisticuffs!
Okay, a meteor shower from passing through the comets tail is reasonable.
A few minutes late getting to #monsterdon and oh, there's the dry-humping
Meanwhile, back in the "makin' it" room...
"what was that?"
it was the plot finally starting.
