Dude, your title is literally "The Warden".

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

#Monsterdon Hack 80s directors really loved stories about absurdly strict schools.

I would also like to see Rocky, Colt, and Tumtum immediately

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Solarbabies? Too woke. What we need are Coalbabies!

Yeah because this is *so* different from a prison already

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

Glowing orb > water

#monsterdon #solarbabies1986

woah, are those monitor arms for CRTs? I didn't know those existed.

#Monsterdon

"...why do they call him Tug?"
"Don't ask."

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

#monsterdon They'll be punished, and they'll love it.

@wohali and his brother #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Solarbabies? A Monsterdon film that I've actually willingly watched several times. Will wonders never cease.

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

CHARLES DURNING!!!

#Monsterdon

"Appear w/ enthusiasm for programming assembly" Oh great, a metal zealot boot camp for dorks. #Monsterdon

behavior determines existence.

at least they're telling it like it is, i guess.

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Class of 41

#monsterdon #solarbabies1986

I'm glad there was time to invent a terrible new sport before the apocalypse.
#monsterdon

Mel Brooks paid for every one of those extras

#Monsterdon

Good thing all the trails are completely smooth for skating on.
#monsterdon

SKATEBALL!!!!
#monsterdon

That's an interesting location they've filmed that in

#Monsterdon

They travel in single file, like sand people, to hide their numbers.

#monsterdon

@RachelThornSub I was thinking this reminded me of the producers #Monsterdon

FUCKING BODHI!

#Monsterdon

Glowing sentient orb AKA Bodhi had magic healing powers. Also likes hanging out in cave pools.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Alien has taught me never to touch an orb in a cave-like area.

@baronvonjace are these real headphones or prop headphones

i figure you might know

#monsterdon

so it's a dystopian future with not enough to go around but all these white youths have rollerblades and safety gear and matching gang outfits and a walkman and owl training lessons, got it

#monsterdon

Just standing around pondering his orb w/o a care in the world. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon And now, the boy is sterile. Thanks for playing!

"...I will call it my precious"

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Who up ponderin' they orb

#monsterdon

For a murderous future wasteland where children exist only to serve the system there sure is a lot of helmet safety going on #Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Kid's going to go into a hole in the cave and come out in 1981 Germany #dark

#monsterdon

@paco

#Monsterdon 🌞 👶 👶 👶 👶 😱 #Solarbabies

but at least they have fluffy cravats!

has anyone made a wheelers joke yet #monsterdon

Is this the orb Saudi's let Trump touch? #monsterdon

oh hey it's where they buried the DeLorean

#monsterdon

We don't just commit crimes against humanity, we also wear incredibly impractical outfits for living in a waterless, sun-baked desert.

#monsterdon

I wouldn't mind a little perimeter violation, if you know what I mean.

#monsterdon

Punishing the children with tedious pontificating

Some things never change

#monsterdon

#monsterdon YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN COFFEE BY WENCHES!

I'm sorry, did the cops just GROUND the protagonist warriors? #Monsterdon

This is E-Police, the E-Sports police!

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

They may be lawless bandits but they do carae about wearing safety equipment. Pretty well disciplined bandits I gotta say #Monsterdon SHIT IT'S A CYBERTRUCK

THIS IS THE POLICE, LACROSSE IS ILLEGAL

#monsterdon

"E-cops" For Economists who are Cops. #Monsterdon

It's the ePigs. #monsterdon #Solarbabies

So this is basically lacrosse on roller blades I guess?

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

Hmmmmm I think the aspect ratio on this DVD is a little horkulated, everyone is looking very

w i d e

#monsterdon

This is clearly not a game where rules exist to be violated

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

This is already my favorite post-apocalyptic dystopia we've seen.

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

My thy knee guards chip and shatter.

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

AND a dude with an owl familiar. between the weird padded armor, the rollerblades and hockey sticks, and the 1996 TV movie mosic... i think i may be having an episode. #NostalgiaDisease

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Ha! It's MadMax as roller skaters at the Close-Encounters set. Such a pastiche of imagery so far.

#monsterdon

"Let it be squared fair." Oh no they've regressed to iambic pentameter. #Monsterdon

These two want each other....

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe LMBO!!! No!! #Monsterdon #SolarBabies ☀️🌞👶🏾👶🏾

oh wow, he has an owl buddy!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Lukas Haas? From Witness?

*kid with halogen-lit rollerskates powers across the screen*

*about a quarter of mastodon, out of sheer conditioned reflex* HACK THE PLANET

edit: as we discovered in the end credits, the rollerskate lights were made by Mag-Lite. That company famously offered (offers!) xenon bulbs for their lights, which are an improvement over halogens (cf. https://www.championautoparts.com/en-eu/news/xenon-vs-halogen-headlights.html ), though both are now dramatically outclassed in every way by LED lights

#monsterdon

PATRICK SWAYZE!? #Monsterdon

Lovely setting; a bit of Tank Girl, a pinch of Mad Max Fury Road.

In the future, we will all play with lights strapped to our skates.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Rollerblades: the Zeerust of footwear(TM)!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon a very solar snack imo

Hells yes this looks like a good time

#monsterdon

You know what undercuts the terror of a dystopia?
Rollerblades.

solarbabies play rollerball lacrosse!

#monsterdon

I haven't been on skates in decades but the muscle memory is making my legs twitch.

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

WORSE TRANPORTATION ON SAND THAN ROLLER SKATES ROLL CALL

uh... rollerblades? NEXT

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

Apocalyptic rollerblading. #Monsterdon #SolarBabies

Earth, 41, desert planet...

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

So if there are at least 42 other orphanages, it seems that post apocalyptic earth has a strong social safety net than we do now!

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Bodhi? Bodhisatva? #Monsterdon

Dodging a bullet by inventing a whole new calendar instead of setting it in the distant future of 1997 or something. I should keep that in my pocket

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Datacenters: The Movie

#Monsterdon

lol,it's actually 2026

#Monsterdon

"We live in the new time."

Yeah, us too. It's hard not to. #Monsterdon

I'm already finding this soundtrack to be Jarreing

#Monsterdon

Those titles are classic early 80s. Nice.

#monsterdon

I have been a way for two Monsterdons due to research travel. I watched the trailer for tonight and this should be.... interesting.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Lukas Haas? What does Lukas Haave?

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Already, this movie is giving the vibes of that space chivalry movie we watched like a year ago.

I am fully cake loaded, and jumping in to the #monsterdon feature for tonight. "Solarbabies" – looks like crap! Excellent!

FANFARE

#Monsterdon

How is SolarBabby formed #Monsterdon

Ah #Solarbabies. We meet again. Bring it. #monsterdon

#monsterdon #monsterdonalert

GO GO GO GO!!!!!

that font!!!! that terrible synth horn!!!!!

poor @Louisa

#monsterdon

Henry Mancini "Peter Gunn" main theme in waterwold. Why? #monsterdon

Peter Gunn! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon it's a shame they hadn't invented doof warriors yet, I feel like that Atoll battle could have used one or two.

There's a distinct lack of a Wilhelm scream.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Tug (remember Tug?) is Dom DeLuise's son, that probably explains how he got into a Mel Brooks produced movie

He's more famous for writing/directing scifi, apparently!

Shades of the Wizard of Oz. #Monsterdon

@cptbutton close enough!

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

One of these weeks my schedule has to line up with #Monsterdon or #Comedon
