hohoho it's fun to die of asphyxiation

#monsterdon

The cinematographer really brought their A-Game to this one. They were probably not paid nearly enough. #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"He flipped us the bird, change all our plans and follow him! Grrrrr!"

#monsterdon

@apLundell That's just accepted science. #monsterdon

"I really hate this music"

She has a point

#monsterdon

Unable to display hr? I've got an ereader with that problem. Makes it confusing to spot scene transitions.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

SPLIT DIOPTER SIGHTING

#Monsterdon

Those children are stupid though, this will become a problem when harvesting crops....which will be the rest of their lives

#monsterdon

"My mommy told me never to breathe anything from strangers!" #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

"I don't know, my parents told me never to breathe anything from strangers."

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

lmao it is not realistic that these kids who've lost their families aren't going to freak out at having to get a shot from weird strangers who picked them up. i once hid under a table at the dr's office as a kid to get away from SCARY SHOTS #monsterdon

"oh no, the Base's Human Resources system is down, I want to file a sexual harassment complaint!"

#monsterdon

"cancer."

"you HAVE cancer?"

"no i am a cancer."

I LOVE HER

#monsterdon

was it the plan of the scientist cult to live off the blood of children forever or was that like an accident from leaving the HVAC system on during the comet #monsterdon

Where would adolescents with nothing to do go? #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

I guess this is technically a Christmas movie. #Monsterdon ☄️

#monsterdon oh I see they are zombiefying. that makes somewhat more sense.

Where do you find cartoon bundles Dynamite during the apocalypse?

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

The BEST case in this movie is to live the rest of your life eating canned sardines from the back of Walmart (assuming you weren't exposed), with no electricity or running water, talking to a volleyball you've named "Wilson", and praying for the sweet release of an early death. I guess there are worse outcomes possible but I'm really not sure why the fighting. Should there be more... despair?

#monsterdon

Not everywhere on Earth was in the path of the comet probably, so I'm 50% expecting surviving military folks to show up at the end. #monsterdon (the other 50% is everyone dies)

You're about to be.....Scienced.

#Monsterdon

Yeesh the gratuitous face-slapping

#monsterdon

Did she… did she just knock him out with a computer keyboard? #Monsterdon

Soundtrack absolutely popping off right now

#Monsterdon

man this oil filter is cloooooooooooogged

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

@nev Well, you can still brain a baddie with'em, but you have to upgrade to Logitech's Platinum Monthly plan

#monsterdon

are there still zombies even?

#monsterdon

@fluffy I'm also getting the impression that they are not, in fact, scientists

#Monsterdon

Ah, night has fallen, and with it, they've removed the red filters 😂

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Somewhere, in this labyrinth of an evil silence bunker, we will find DMK, I have hope

#Monsterdon

I'm getting the impression that the scientists are not, in fact, good guys. #monsterdon

YAAAAAY SHE'S ALIVE AND SPUNKY
#monsterdon

for a second i thought he said Soviet Pentothal lol #monsterdon #nightofthecomet

I'm really appreciating, as this movie goes on, how memory loss and poor decision making are symptoms, because it's giving the writers carte blanche to just write stupid scenes

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Oh wow, I really thought Samantha was gone! #monsterdon

Hector in full cosplay, working an angle. Go get em! Kill those mad science cult bastards. #Monsterdon

mastery of costumes is proving to be an extremely useful trait rn #monsterdon

Surely the base has a self destruct device, or a 'reactor', make it boom

#monsterdon

> The scientist maze has no solution, lame

hmm maybe this is symbolic

#Monsterdon

You could definitely kill someone with an old, metal case, heavy dot matrix printer. No doubt.

#monsterdon

That keyboard must've been a Model M. #monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

REG WITH THE CHAIR, BY GAWD

#Monsterdon

so in the last 30 minutes we have done a whole movie's worth of plot, going from "nothing is happening" (in a good way) to "knowing a ton about the apocalypse and being fully involved with the science cult" but also we lost one of our beloved protagonists and so i think the only way through is for the remaining video game woman to go out blasting #monsterdon

...sensing a theme with the sunglasses

#Monsterdon

"may i see you a moment?"
i'm not sure you can, actually.
#monsterdon

"I love working with kids" DARK #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Terrible PPE discipline. They're all going to contract something or other.

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

it's *DIABEETUS* don't you even Wilfred Brimley?

#monsterdon

it's gonna be an underground morgue in a little while, ma'am. #monsterdon

These scientists are so bad at
. .. Everything

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Mono could lead to Parkinson's, but sure it's only mono

#monsterdon

I think that's a Volker-Craig terminal behind her Can't see it well enough to be sure, though.

#monsterdon

*Death Jazz* #Monsterdon

Somebody ignored protocol

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Hector, why were you "sneaking around" like Santa Claus? Wha?

I can't focus on the rest of the movie now.

#Monsterdon

The easy-listening 80s young republican mall music never stopped, everyone listens to it

#monsterdon

I, uh.... am not sure what the fuck is going on right now.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai This is an excellent summary of this movie

#Monsterdon

Everyone has uzis? How armed was this town? This is the most american town of 1984.
#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Look, that is an amazing car.

#monsterdon

everyone in this movie really embraces the bright side of the apocalypse

#monsterdon

"What did you expect me to do, Oscar? Go for my gun?"
"Of course not."—quote from man shot #Monsterdon ☄️

Aha, the visitor on the comet was Santa Claus all along!

#Monsterdon

"I'm not a Republic serial villain. I went for my gun thirty minutes ago." #Monsterdon

What? I doubt Reggie would left her sister with the sinister duo.
#monsterdon

unexpected santa claus

#monsterdon

NO I CANT BELIEVE THEY did that to her what in the fuck #monsterdon

Oof. Poor girl.

#monsterdon

That ricochet sound effect is like the Wilhelm Scream of gunshots.

#monsterdon

Scientist Shootout!

#monsterdon

Scratch that: I'm extremely confused about everything in this film

#Monsterdon

did.... she just.... euthanize her? #monsterdon

you could at least have the decency to come up with a lie before you get asked. "um..." is not a great answer when someone asks you what's in the syringe. #monsterdon

he's not a fox

#monsterdon

Samantha's gonna get Old Yellered :( #Monsterdon

Glasses scientist is definitely dying. Volunteering to stay behind. Sooooo dead.....

#Monsterdon

It's amazing that all these 1980s screeds against consumerism had no effect.
#monsterdon

well they're not green berets, but i guess they are technically rescuing you? #monsterdon

"E-ticket attraction" is a boomer-ass reference

#Monsterdon

Wow, E-ticket. Old Disneyland reference for those who don't know it.

#monsterdon

Why is this shootout even happening?

#monsterdon

...So the scientist's great idea is... Search every mall in the area? #Monsterdon

oh, surprise, the sunglasses were plot-motivated!

#Monsterdon

matter of fact, i think she would know what you want, and that nightmare was only about 45 minutes ago. #monsterdon

The stockboys evolved their own Mad Max society pretty fast

#Monsterdon

Oh. Oooh. *That's* why they're evil.

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

where would adolescents with nothing to do go
- the 1980s.
#monsterdon

"This whole area is an absolute monument to Consumerism"

surprisingly lefty for an 80s mall movie

#monsterdon

"I'm not crazy, I just don't give a fuck!"

Amazing line.

#monsterdon

Shoot the hostage? Like Speed?

#monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

I kind of love Wille The Zombie Stock Boy #Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet

Willie is not a convincing evil guy

#monsterdon

Willy was the assistant manager at radio shack before the comet #Monsterdon

This guy got his shopping in early. He wants to monopolize the fashion. He with the most fashion wins.

#monsterdon

I think he spoke for everyone there
#monsterdon

there are still zombies tho right?

#monsterdon

The best kind of playful post-apocalyptic fashion/shopping/looting montage #monsterdon

Perfume is flammable, isn't it? Just thinking...

#monsterdon

Okay she was right, the shoes are doing better than the Mac 10

#Monsterdon #NightOfTheComet
