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

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

DUUUUSSSSSTTTT!!!

#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 ☄️

I now officially hate the 80s

#monsterdon

Great slaps followed by a terrible punch and a stinger delivered by the anxious reporter on TV

#Monsterdon

it's been a while since I was a teenager, but I don't think any of us looked this old then

#monsterdon

@ramsey Comet Santa, now there's an idea

#Monsterdon

Oh just yr average all American family, l'il imperialism, l'il infelidity, l'il child abuse

#monsterdon

"You were born with an asshole, Doris, you don't need Chuck!"

WE HAVE BEST LINE IN THE MOVIE SO FAR.

#Monsterdon

“You were born with an asshole, Doris. You don’t need Chuck.” And then a fist fight ensues! #Monsterdon

hahahahah! you were born with an asshole, you don't need chuck. i would die for this movie rn. #monsterdon

❎ Comet?
✅ Make it?

#Monsterdon

OH DAMN DORIS CAN BRING IT

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

XD Okay that was a genuinely good line :D #Monsterdon

The sandinistas WTF #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

oh abusive step mom is absolutely going to die first right #monsterdon

Christ. Doris was a huge pile of dirt BEFORE the comet. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

why is she dressed like condiments
the way she ADHD rolled over the arm of the couch instead of standing up like a normal person is relateable

#monsterdon

Not gonna miss Doris, ngl

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The Major jumps on you alright

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

red jacket video game woman is basically #GenderGoals tbh #monsterdon

oof, that's some depiction of child abuse right there

#monsterdon

More like 18 going on 27...

#monsterdon

Explicit Halley's Comet reference! (also lightning something)

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@howler0502 I played Tempest in the Arcade a few times and I didn't get the hang of it either. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Damn, can't bang the phone handset any more in frustration without worrying about making the thing less useful or utterly useless.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

Really chummy narrator voice.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Chonky eighties phone!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

i need DMK to be another "i've had it with this shit" gamer girl, and she and Reggie to bond over their surviving the Comet, and then go off together into the post-apocalyptic wasteland. #monsterdon

Wow Big Hair across the board

#monsterdon

I can watch the comet wherever I wanna watch the comet!! #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow More like NEW LOST LAND amirite?

#Monsterdon

NEFUNDLAND
or
NEWFOUNDLAND #monsterdon

Field trips? Is this another case of teenagers in their mid twenties?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The makers of this movie don’t appear to understand distances in space. They’re treating the comet like Santa flying around on his sleigh or a solar eclipse. #Monsterdon

The visitor returns! Merry Christmas!
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"All telecommunications seem to be out in that part of the world" But it's Canada so... Meh.. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Ahh, the 'bitchy Step-mom'

#monsterdon

(white) girls' 80s hair looks cool but like SO much work #monsterdon

i'm so overwhelmingly pleased that we are guaranteed video game woman and mcdonalds spandex woman as our protagonists and soon they will be unburdened by all the annoying chuds in their lives #monsterdon

Okay, #monsterdon

Who in this movie is trans?

I'm proud of myself. My movie is timed perfectly with my clock changing each minute.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Regina is the archetypal 1980s protagonist.

#monsterdon

@Louisa@mastodon.xyz Last movie I watched that was about a movie projectionist involved a flea blown up to monstrous proportions, and it did not live up to that premise. Let's hope this one turns out better!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Back in the day, when people actually framed pictures of their friends and put them on their nightstand or whatever

#monsterdon

Love the Ronald McDonald-themed leggings and socks.

#monsterdon

missed the first 6 minutes of the movie but thats fine :0 glad im not missing it again this week, past couple weeks i kept falling asleep and missing it >__>

#monsterdon

lady, that better be 15 gold bars for that, anything less and you're selling yourself short. #monsterdon

You can kill him too, Reg. #Monsterdon

Wikipedia tells me DMK was a Depeche Mode tribute band #monsterdon

It came from outer space! #monsterdon reference!

Wow, that's one helluva lotta metaphors in the last 5 minutes.

#monsterdon

"Makin' it"

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Oh I hope the projectionist comes to some kind of bloody horrible end.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Leg warmers on Samantha. Nice and 80s. #Monsterdon

Every man has his price and this dude's is $10

I would still feel ripped off TBH #Monsterdon

Nice old projector. If it was 35mm it definitely would have been union run in the 80s, absolutely no question.

#monsterdon

She’s a gamer girl! #monsterdon

Um this is a lot of there not being any monster action in the five minutes since the opening credits

We've been spoiled

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet goodwill-bin-ass Michael J Fox

Huh, addicting video games that don't involve funnels eating coins? This is not the Star Trek future I was promised!

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Regina needs a union fuck this guy #Monsterdon

“I’m gonna fire that guy. He’s been doing to me what he’s been doing to her in the booth.” 🤣 #Monsterdon

"He's been doing to me what he's been doing to her in the booth!"

That sounded like an ad-lib. I wonder.

#monsterdon

"dat's great, there go da profits!" i love this movie already. #monsterdon

@Taweret oh lord was the entire plot explained in the one minute i missed again #monsterdon

WHO THE HELL TOOK ONE OF MY TOP TEN SLOTS THIS WILL NOT STAND - Regina, further cementing my affection for Gamer Girl in Red Jacket

#Monsterdon

Read my lips: No New Ta... er, Walk. House. Now.

#monsterdon

D M K MUST D I E

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Marty McFly cosplay on #monsterdon?

KILL HIM, REG! KILL! #Monsterdon

For the first time, #Monsterdon is watching a film I know backwards and forwards. Awesome.

"I'M NOT CRAZY I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!"

#NightOfTheComet

Is this Rudy Guliani selling comet headgear? #monsterdon

Sure you know how to play computer games, but can you work a computer? #monsterdon

There's at least one Iowa movie theater chain where they still make the workers dress like this. Or at least they did when I lived there in 2011. #monsterdon

actually wait no makes sense now. also in case y'all are on a stream with ads on it @monsterdon has got ya covered as per usual: https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/kpWMsTV2K6BeeVt98Gw9Hj

#monsterdon

lmao i love this REG and also this movie helping me know the character's name. I always miss those #monsterdon

#monsterdon Forgot completely that argyle socks were a thing back then, and check out that Tempest machine. There's one at Pinballz in Austin (North location) and it looks as absolutely unreal as it does here, what with the vector graphics and all.

Credit font looks familiar :blobcatthinking:

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet_1984

Getting everyone ready for the Stranger Things era with tonight’s #Monsterdon

"Milk Duds? Those things hurt!"

"I yiy yi yi yi yi" .... uhhhhhh

#monsterdon

Mmm Dots #Monsterdon

That guy is WAY too intense about his bobble headbands. #Monsterdon

They're watching #Monsterdon in #Monsterdon.

#Monsterdon

Man working harder to sell a 1.00 gimmick than a new car!
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@nev I always put the x in the wrong place.

#Monsterdon

The name is pronounced REGINA as in ...
#monsterdon

Aw shit, she actually has to work? Fuck this job.

#Monsterdon

Wow, this is the best representation of a female gamer before 1999.

#monsterdon

Get dusted Mel. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

a GIRL playing a VIDYA GAME #monsterdon #nightofthecomet
