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

Great job, team! Let's some of us go fight vampires now!

#monsterdon

I may be an 80s kid, but I give that #Monsterdon a solid three. 🦖🦖🦖

That was in the upper half of Monsterdons, at least.

BODI WAS AURORA BOREALIS. OR DAVID BOREANAZ. OR RICK MORANIS?

LET'S MAKE SOLARBABIES ll !!!!

#Monsterdon

Sometimes I'm not sure if #monsterdon helps with "sunday scaries" or if it just makes them hit really suddenly as soon as its over.

But #Monsterdon … it’s Smokey!

So is there a 2nd #Monsterdon film?

Solarbabies took place mostly at night and that's the least bad thing about it #Monsterdon #Solarbabies

And they all fucked off into the sea that surely had to be there the whole time making the whole movie pointless

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! On to the double feature, Waterworld

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

YELLOW ALERT!!!

(somebody pissed themselves)

#Monsterdon

oh no... Waterworld. i mean...........

#monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

thanks for hosting @Taweret! was always curious about this movie but never wanted to endure it alone lol

#monsterdon

@combatwombat It has that one famous scene when bohdi fire his gun up in the air and goes "AAAAGHHHH!" #monsterdon

"Filmed entirely on location in Spain"

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

#Monsterdon 🌞 👶 👶 👶 👶 😱 #Solarbabies

that was a terrible movie but the owl, the ravens (or crows, IDK) and the dobermans were all outstanding.

Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, @JoeWynne for trivia, and @cherizilla for bingo; and most of all, thanks to all you #Monsterdonians for making it fun.

Well, that was something. I mean, it was trying to follow some of the popular tropes of mid-80s sci-fi movies, but…it was bad. Not terrible, just bad.

As always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo card, @JoeWynne for the drink recipe and trivia, @ryan for the live stream, @paco for data analysis at https://gallery.don.monster, @combatwombat for the replay, and all of you for making it awesome!

Solarbabies. An epic waste of talent so gargantuan I can hardly believe it. What a waste(land). Who wrote the script? Grok?

Thanks, @Taweret and all #monsterdonians (solar babies). Touch your orbs and fuck off into the sea as we all should.

OH GOD it's the same song from the musical interlude

Which sounds EXACTLY like the kind of song that would be sung by the band in Pod People

GODDAMMIT MOVIE WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME MISS TRUMPY

#Monsterdon

Closing credits song is like "Danger Zone" but boring and there is no zone. #monsterdon

Well, that was terrible, but often in an entertaining way. Thanks @Taweret & the monstarbabies

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Lmao, this song is by Smokey Robinson?

#monsterdon

theme from solarbabies by smokey robinson??

#monsterdon

They freed all the water, great screen writing right there! :blobcateyes: #monsterdon #solarbabies

Bodhi is all around us and in us

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

At this point, I think I want to watch everything Terrance Mann appears in, no matter how awful it is.

#Monsterdon

Beach Blanket Bodhi

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

aw, the Solarbabies fucked off into the sea :3

#monsterdon

The real Bodhi was the friends we made along the way. Slash in our hearts all along.
#monsterdon

wait, that really was Terrence Mann? wow, i thought i was just having some kind of 1990s-induced hallucination.

"He'll always be with us...
... just not in a sensible satisfying practical conclusive way".

Speaking of which...
... this film opened with an exposition dump and yet didn't have time to explain anything at all?

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

Wooo running down a beach in slow mo & getting naked because we're young & free #Monsterdon

Now that water is back, skates are out!

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Running in sand in socks? That's no fun.

#monsterdon
#Solarbabies

Another fun #monsterdon

@Binder Whether we like it or not! #MonsterDon

In the sequel, the kids get introduced to tornadoes

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

That’s the end?

@surdfish Aurora BORE-ealis #monsterdon

REVIEWS!!
"trash...Such is what happens when you begin with good characters, costume/production design, special effects, and stunt-work...then scramble to build a plot around it all. The best thing about this picture is its title; rather than a screenplay, it has a barrel of gimmicks."

- Gene Siskel

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

#monsterdon So this is what would have been the Great Khan's ending to New Vegas. The real orb was all the drugs they gave the solarbabies along the way.

Orb: right, I'm out

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

#monsterdon And Bodhi has fuckered off into the sky.

The water is free again, free to sweep every encampment in the valley away. Don't dwell on that, time for Whimsy! #Monsterdon

Good thing he brought his swim trunks to this water park he stumbled upon in the desert.

#monsterdon
#ThreeHourTour

Help were being kidnapped by a space snow globe! #Monsterdon #SolarBabies

@combatwombat

Great *jorb*

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

"He's all around us" and he wants to have a few pointed words with all of humanity about how he was just treated #Monsterdon #Solarbabies

ULTRA BODHI LIVES ON
OUT THERE
AMONG THE STARS

#Monsterdon

"My work here is done!" & the good Locnar flies away forever #Monsterdon

(Bodhi died on his way back to his home planet) #Monsterdon

oh Bodhi, I'll think of you whenever I order a carton of munchkins at Wasteland Dunkin Donuts

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io if only it were fucking off into the horse-steppes, then the end could be neigh

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Oh lord they’re stuck in old Bohdi again.

#Monsterdon

Doubled the dose this time around, I see

#Monsterdon

Aurora Bodhialis

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

"...We ... are ... Bohdi."

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Was Bodhi the weather control system all along?

#Monsterdon

Pretty sure I saw some real amalgam fillings when the Strictor was screaming

#Monsterdon

I am Groot #Monsterdon

I think Bodhi's been trolling everyone, including the cast and crew #Monsterdon

Sure hope no one lives down stream of the dam
#monsterdon

That is NOT a real thundercloud. That’s what someone in LA thinks a thundercloud looks like
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon if it never rains, destroying the dam seems like a less than ideal outcome

YEETED INTO SPACE!

Worth it.

#monsterdon

I am not a meteorologist, but I think it would take a bit longer for the water cycle to reboot than that…

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Wait so all it took to restore the environment was releasing the water? Why the fuck did anyone need the orb then?? #Monsterdon #Solarbabies

So what the thunderstorm was trapped in the dam or...?

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

Bodhi's glowing? Oh, he's w/ child. #Monsterdon

Wow Bodhi, you burnt her hands right off

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Trillions of gallons of water were wasted making this film.

#Monsterdon

So…where did the thunderstorm come from? Surely that wasn’t caused by rescuing Bodhi?

#Monsterdon

so they were talking about the spear of Spear of Longinus, weren't they? was that ever supposed to, I don't know... mean anything?

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

To think, the whole planets remaining water...

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies

"Holy Oskie?" That's a new one for me.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

Holy-oskie

Well NOW it's a red alert. You should have called one sooner!

"A pathetic Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome rip-off, working from a script which must have been scrawled in Crayola, with every futuristic cliché you could possibly imagine. Lacking in originality, but rich in brain-dead dialogue; when Jami Gertz snarls, 'Get out, you creature of filth!', consider that a subliminal message."

- Joe Kane of The Phantom of the Movies' Videoscope

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies

So the bad people were keeping all the weather locked up? #Monsterdon

no real thundercloud ever looked like that #Monsterdon

@apLundell people don't usually build damns for reasons do they?
