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
he *is* the quizat burt bacharach
@mxchara snap! #Monsterdon
"He's wearing the same symbol you have on your hand" ... maybe it's just the quality of the copy I'm watching, but I'm not seeing it.
After imaginary bug torture, the village chief says that he found the glowing orb, which the Evil General calls the Orb of Longinus, implying he knows what it is. His son said he never saw the sphere (which is true) but the Evil General decides to torture him anyway by using his torture machine to give him the illusion of his arm melting.
Of course the girl character has to do the feeding
is that like 1000 year old beer or something?
Yeah you fucking sandbrain

What in the fuck was that elevator on the van thing???

"You're getting a bath, what else do you want?"
I'm kind of digging these villain vehicle designs. The suspension clearance of the wheels doesn't make a lot of sense - they should have a lot more vertical clearance than that, and they would definitely benefit from some kind of coverage to prevent easy puncturing - but otherwise they make a certain amount of internal sense. Good job, props team.
I think you misheard. That's the *spear* of longinus
Why are there British people here?
This is an accurate depiction of the United States in the not too distant future.
They laughed back then, but look where things are going now...
"Your Lardship"
so they're totally out of water in the desert wastes now, right?
ah whatever I guess it's not really worth a mention in this world whose most central rule is the totalitarian control of water
Darth Helmet's personal limousine approaches! Open the gate!
The next night the cool theme park village is attacked by the Evil General and his dystopian guns, who attack it with laser blasters, torches, fisticuffs and bumper-car mounted rakes. The evil team captain is his second in command and shoots the owl with a laser so that the audience hates him more.
@yatsu ..slowly #Monsterdon
Owl Guy's people worship Tammy from Bob's Burgers #Monsterdon
They wanted a bunch of ~ mystic Native American ~ tropes but didn't want to hire any Native actors, so they made up a name and stuffed a bunch of white people in the group
Is that any better?

Convenient for this apocalypse to produce skateable deserts!
This really is the World if MAGA wins....
Hopefully no birds were harmed in the making of this
"I whomped his owl" ?!?!?!?!?!??!
The Chikani chief takes the Bird Dude to meet with his king, who holds court in an abandoned horror theme amusement park full of fake skulls on the wall, which is a choice. He brings him the orb that ran away.
For some reason the King knows about the orb and claims it came from space, which is further evidence for my Vorlon hypothesis.
MEGAWEAPON!! :D #Monsterdon
@ramsey @kshernandez once Society collapses you can do it my friend #Monsterdon
Everyone in this post-apocalypic tribe owns a trimmer
My stupid head canon was going to be that "Chikani" is just "Chicano" but in the future, but most of the village dudes look pretty white.
Is that the Alien Cop from Critters?
Pigeons!
sure, let's do a bit of Fantasy as well, cram as many genres as you can for 15 million dollars!
So Harvey Birdman has some kind of influence on the plot at some point??
#Monsterdon
suspiciously diurnal owl
Oh wait I think Bird guy is the "Chikani" guy because he wandered off into the desert on his own and now he's at a village. In the village the chief is making with the Second Girl character then meets Bird Dude and because an owl was there he pronounces him "Chikani"
Would, say, a chihuahuan raven be happier in this desert than that owl?
Oo, apocalyptic dentistry #Monsterdon
Apropos of this being the year "41":
Fun fact: Astronomy has a year zero to make the math easier, but history does not have a year zero. #Monsterdon
Arenβt you a little BIG for a falcon?
The reason why you were taught the phrase "willing suspension of disbelief" is because your teachers knew someday you would watch this scene
that electric drum is what the 1980s were all about
(Does anyone remember how well 80s-era rollerskate bearings held up to grit and dust? Like what the kids are skating through right now? No reason, just curious.)
((Seriously though, modern-era sealed cartridge 608 bearings are _magical_ compared to what we had easy access to even ten years ago. Look 'em up sometime, they are a modern miracle.))
All of this misuse of dunebuggies makes me want to re-watch the Logan's Run TV series
Those are some pretty fun looking vehicles, gotta hand them that
@diazona The movie is going to prove me wrong at some point, but so far this feels more like a normal-ish future and they're just at some boarding school
Ugh, backpack water :/ #Monsterdon
I'm still waiting for the impromptu party at a McDonalds. #Monsterdon
great, time for a musical number
Anyway, at night the One Girl wakes up the Captain via shirtless belly rubs and we learn Rainbow Hat has escaped, probably chasing the orb. The one girl tries to get everyone to leave, so we decide to vote on it. One character insists on a secret ballot so we vote by writing on paper and putting it in a helmet and in the end everyone has decided to go.
if there's no water shouldn't they put tents up for shade? so everyone isn't dying from heat stroke?
After more glowing orb magic the orb leaves I guess, and the next day in class, someone escaped the orphanage, so an alarm is sounded and goons start searching all the orphan barracks. I like the goon search scene because it shows us all the cool sets in this movie, which are neat. I like the barracks and the giant monitors in the classroom.
it really does seem unduly easy for kids to escape from orphanage 13, i mean, even easier than the emergency tunnel, they don't even need to open a door
and here I was about to ask why they brought their sticks with them
...They brought the lacrosse sticks? Are they gonna beat the wasteland mutants in straight sets? #Monsterdon
"We don't have time for your democratic process!"
so the orb is ET but a an animated glowing ball because it was cheaper than anything animatronic?
Oh, I remember doing something vaguely like this with a van de graff generator in high school
addicted to orb
lol, oh NOW you want to see if it's radioactive?
After our brainwashing roller blading session, where we rollerblade in circles listening to propaganda talking points, the good and bad team captains have a secret fight. Afterward, the good team captain goes to meet the orb and he can talk to it too and tells it he doesn't want to be part of the future evil rollerblade army and then the orb replies with electronica music.
@WastelandWandrr there's every chance he saw this movie and thought "YES, MY FUTURE!"
Thank you for calling B.O.D.I.
Your call is important to us.
Please stay on the line and your request will be answered in the order it was received.
#monsterdon
orb touchers, all of you
So that scene was to set up some more conflict I guess.
#monsterdon
Dear diary orb, it was the worst high school e-dance EVER
Big Brother will now watch as you skate.
Now itβs time for The Chicken Dance!
ewwww, that tongue...hope he gets orb'd
synergistic dedication. yeah, this is a dystopia.
we gotta keep this secret. nobody will question why we're all soaking wet #monsterdon
π΅Oh Lord, I'm stuck with Bodhi again πΆ
Bow-Dai sees everything.
His name is Bodi. He's only kind of radioactive. #monsterdon #Solarbabies
Did she just use "dog squeeze" as a minced oath for "bullshit"?
#monsterdon
See I get to enjoy a mcdonalds commercial, while you people have to keep watching. Who's the lazy Tubi user now? Wait, still me.
#Monsterdon
When the world goes to hell, and you live among the ruins, the most suitable locomotion is roller skates! For those smooth surfaces everywhere.
#monsterdon The slang is delightful. "Dog Squeezeβ¦β LOL
@saucerlost send it by e-mail later...
Iβm going to assume 20 cubic meters is a lot of whatever it is theyβre doing and whatever a meter is. #Monsterdon
Thank-you, @cherizilla.
It's what every youth wants. A lifegrid.
You know it's a dystopian future because of the straightforward use of SI
Charles Durning was also the voice of Peter Griffin's step-father Francis on Family Guy. He passed away in 2012. (The actor not the character.)
#Monsterdon
Don't draw the Triforce in the sand! You'll attrack the..... NERDS!!!!!
"Now understand something."
I've got a nose like a softball. #Monsterdon
You'll achieve a decent lifegrid.
Depending on how many cubic meters you do.

lol, is this where idiots get the term 'eco warriors' from
The "governor" (from Oh Brother Where Art Thou) is played by Charles Durning.
#monsterdon
It IS an odd name, well done for noticing that Richard Jordan
It's the next day and we're doing a dystopia. All the orphans, most of whom look old enough to be college students, are summoned for some kind of army muster by a loudspeaker. We see both boys and girls but we only saw boys playing the roller derby game. After the loudspeaker yells at them, they go run an obstacle course.
Rainbow Hat is missing because he was hiding his Orb friend in a giant chest.
Honestly couldn't tell the difference between a prison and an American school so this is quite prophetic.
Both these Hollywood stars cursed Mel Brooks until their graves....
This is exactly what high school was like in the 80's #monsterdon #Solarbabies
