"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!?

#monsterdon

um

I think I missed a whole other movie between last scene and this scene

#Monsterdon

@howler0502 I played Galaga a fair bit, but Zaxxon was my meat. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Dust, eh?

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

Anyway it looks like everybody got turned into Lawry's Seasoning Salt.

#Monsterdon

Did the plants and flies and stuff also turn to dust?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Except the radio DJ, who hasn’t noticed anything abnormal. #Monsterdon

Honestly this looks like the best time to visit LA

#Monsterdon

The comet turned everyone into Tang.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Everybody turned into Nesquik. #Monsterdon

Ooooh a left behind type of movie #monsterdon

Rapture?
#monsterdon

hah, silly gas station, offering "fiat" service

don't they know about the blockchain

#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!

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Rapture?

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

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.

#monsterdon

that duck finally happy to have the pool to himself for once. #monsterdon

man that little duck farts like a big man

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

When the people are away all the robots come to life!

#monsterdon
#NightOfTheComet

NIGHT OF THE BANK HOLIDAY.

#monsterdon

I admit, I did not guess that this was going to turn into the Rapture.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

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

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

tony will never have to fix it again, sad lonely clown

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

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

Nice of the car to roll to a stop perfectly at the line like that. #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

Cleanup on aisle everywhere.

#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:

#monsterdon

Wow, everyone in that city was a Jedi?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"You were born with an asshole, you do not need Chuck"😂

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

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

#monsterdon VAPORIZED?!

I love this movie. Didn't anticipate y'all watching a movie I like lol

#Monsterdon

mmm free-flowing grit

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

HAHA take that dude, she's the better nerd

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

☄️ TRIVIA OF THE COMET

#NightOfTheComet1984

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

Wait, what was that skyline? LA? It certainly wasn't NYC...

#monsterdon

I swear I had every single one of the sweaters so far in this movie in the 1980s.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

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!!!

#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)

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Sweet sexy comic nerd talk. #Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Regina knows her Superman lore, too! <3 <3

#Monsterdon

Superman can see through steel!

"But you're just pushing rope..."

Oh, the 80s. Sigh.

#monsterdon

Wait, the Sandinistas are in this movie?

#monsterdon

#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???

#Monsterdon

Why does he have a sleeping bag in the projection booth?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"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

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Gratuitous domestic violence! #monsterdon

Wow, that was not an open slap. Fisticuffs!

#monsterdon

Okay, a meteor shower from passing through the comets tail is reasonable.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

A few minutes late getting to #monsterdon and oh, there's the dry-humping

Meanwhile, back in the "makin' it" room...

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"what was that?"
it was the plot finally starting.
#monsterdon

Fuck you Doris #monsterdon

I got distracted and tuned back in and there was a slap fight?

#Monsterdon

Major, Sandinistas, this is really the 80s
#monsterdon

DUUUUSSSSSTTTT!!!

#monsterdon

Ok. Comet effects over the buildings. Bad even for 1984. #Monsterdon

Look! Look at the strobe light!

#monsterdon
#NightOfTheComet

yeah the major is gonna really love doris punching his daughter

#monsterdon

Yeah, in the '80s you could just punch your kid in the face.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@north

✅ $15

#Monsterdon

I'm pretty sure that punch would have broken her wrist, but okay. This won't be the worst thing I'll see tonight.

#Monsterdon

Sleaze Mom, first to go zombie please. #Monsterdon

The girls' dad is down in Latin America assassinating liberation theologians or something #monsterdon ☄️
