#Monsterdon You know what this movie didn't really do anything with?
The fact that the kid started out deaf.
He never had to pretend he was still deaf or anything like that.
Now THAT'S a flamin' hot manicure!
Mel Brooks. βItβs Breakfast club meets ET meets Rollerball meets Waterworld meets Star Wars! Weβre rich!β
@SocialCommentaryBot strange chain of events that ends up creating a small sea in the space of a day. Thoroughly plausible and Scientific
"nothing's impossible"
after all, someone released this movie, didn't they.
Well, the film took a silly premise and it ran with it. What more can I ask?
#Monsterdon #Solarbabies
"Bodhi will return in Solarbabies II: Point Break" #monsterdon
So they couldnβt decide on whether the water was released from a dam or it rained again so they did both?
Wait, so they clearly establish that the orb can create water out of nothing, and they never use it to... create water out of nothing? They just blow up the dam that was holding all the existing water?
A few weak platitudes, and the movie ends, with what I can only call one of Smokey Robinson's weaker late-career performances.
Oh they've all got magic orb powers now?
They'll become crazed gods with this power, it's more tyranny for Humanity I'm afraid....
So, uh, the "Solarbabies" thing never really had anything to do with...anything, did it #Monsterdon
I feel Bodhi deep inside me

bodhi is here, he's there, he's everywhere
(unlike ET)
that's a wrap
Thanks everyone in #Monsterdon this evening, and to @Taweret for hosting!
Bohdi just molested them all, it's what they came here to do....
...told you.
Roller skates on grid metal catwalks and stairs are SUCH a good combo.
Superman dam break?
friendship defeated the power of the Nestle Corporation
Bit of a design flaw in your aqua bunker if a woman's hands spontaneously catching fire and then electrically discharging into a console causes the entire place to explode, flood, and a concrete dam to spontaneously rupture.
Quip interrupted.
#monsterdon
@CactuarJoe HEY. LISTEN.
Oh dam
Well, it might not be the *most* horrifying thing the young child has seen in the post-apocalyptic wasteland
I would say "what the fuck is happening" but unfortunately the actual events themselves are quite clear so there isn't even the presence of non-sequitur to help flavor this
I also enjoyed Raiders of the Lost Ark as well
Did the orb metaphorically break its shackles?
@CactuarJoe Shields up, captain?
oh no huge pedo vibes aaaaaaaaaaaa
#Monsterdon Good thing it can't pluck the eyes out of a roller skater.
I'm starting to think that parts of this movie are not factual, nor do they accurately portray life in the EPolice controlled wastelands!
I like how she's narrating this like a nature documentary
So Bohdi is full of delicious grape flavour, like a Hi-Chew?
laughs Just how much did they spend on Terminack?
let's be honest, daniel is holding you all back....
Jason you talk a big game for someone with so little orb access
Oh, well, it's nice of you to program your robot to ENJOY things.

The purpose of disemboweling the sphere is orbscure
Jokes on you⦠orb zapping is my kink
Bunker plans. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
How did Terra's hair go from soaking wet to completely dry between those two shots!?
We brought all our skateball gear with us. Somehow.
Isn't this the LA river whatever thing?
#monsterdon We oathed each other in the back seat, don't you remember? We oathed all night long, left sticky oaths everywhere, drizzling along and drooling from every oath-crevice we had!
Every young actress is totally comfortable in a drenched white gown
Now's the part of Monsterdon where I'm so bewildered that I'm at a loss for words.
#Monsterdon
orb torture. torbture
day-for-night on a production that cost *this* much? lmao
This may help me understand Dune better, at least
You've heard of sietch fremen and city fremen. Meet the lounge fremen.
A lone rollerbladder appears to stop the rickshaw, pouring water to distract them. It's the one girl, but she's dressed as a Bedouin-esque desert nomad, because we already did the native american stereotype so now we must do the Lawrence of Arabia thing.
Anyway, a whole Bedouin-esque army is with her some how, so they rescue the #SolarBabies and make the Australians drag their own rickshaw back to wherever.
WATAH
oh shit Tara is Muad Dib
Terra is the Muad'dib! #Monsterdon
wat
adding "lithe" to the list of words the movie should not have been allowed to use
I don't believe that's Alexei Sayle, sweating and singing some annoying nonsense
"she gives water to the dead!"
lol, cannot get over how Alexi Sayle is in this and hamming it up as you would do if you were Alexi Sayle in this movie
Surely from that point you could just pull him right over the edge, yeah?
While the #SolarBabies suffer from internal discord, the Evil General channels Hector and attacks the apocalypse town with his fascist bumper car army. The Solarbaby boys escape by rolling away in giant tires, but they lose the One Girl (who is captured by somebody but they think was exploded) and the orb (which the Bird Dude tries to rescue but is surrounded and captured.
Orbnapped!
I bet she's not dead
@HCBunny they retired
Oh no, they're destroying that particular hellscape! #monsterdon
Figures, leave the Tchigani holding the bag when the cops arrive π
also I totally did that tire thing when I was a kid. Not as fun as it seems.
Those pole dancing lessons finally paid off.
#Monsterdon
well its now just us 8 guys
#Monsterdon
Fortunately the E-Police's ray guns can't shoot downhill
As someone who has rolled down a hill in a tire like that, at least half of them should be dead now.
anyawy our heroes roll away inside of gigantic tractor tires, leaving their chosen-one friend to die in the tire-burning factory
This movie is a tire fire. #monsterdon
Solarbabies, transform and roll out!
Pole-dance-fighting

their wearing of and not wearing of their rollerskates is super mysterious
As per 80s law the "smart" character has glasses.
#monsterdon
SOMEONE CALL MASTERBLASTER
She's got her tuft up like a cardinal
I LOVE the Dr. Pepper blacberry. Very thirst quenching. #monsterdon
Good to see the springfield tire fire is going well.
The air quality outside the tire burning place looks nicer than what's currently happening outside. #Monsterdon
It's a hard day's work melting tires down into water
@JoeWynne Mel Brooks produced this? Why isnβt it funny?
In the future, every town is a Burning Man festival.
After hiring australian bounty hunters, the Evil General drives his bumper car convoy to a second, eviler fortress, to meet the Evil Science Lady in her Evil Science Lab. He asks if her giant comet prison machine could kill a Vorlon, I mean, "the Sphere of Longinus". She suggests it could, perhaps because it was made with First Ones technology and is surprised that the sphere was found... so I guess its some missing artifact thing from the before times.
Great, Dip and Shit the bounty hunters. #Monsterdon
Welcome to Tiretown! Anything you could want - for a price.
That was Jacqueline Pearce. Sarah Douglas was SUperman II
What are saying? Longlyness? Longerness?
Classic 80s lady sci-fi villain.
Those "E-Police" logos look like they're advertising erectile dysfunction and I find it difficult to believe that was accidental
Sarah Douglas! that's it.
Oof, I just looked up the financials on this one. $23 million to produce, did $1.5 million at the box office. Still, that explains the effects. I bet if they went in $23.1 million they could have hired a writer or two.
Blondemullet has some Homelander energy
XD XD headlamps on the dogs :P #Monsterdon
