how could you remove the misaligned "i don't care" that is such a shitty line #monsterdon
When @diazona says "everything exploded" he means careers, hopes, dreams, future prospects of work. All of it.
@lytta @davesdogmaggie
@davesdogmaggie How could you have known though ๐
I DONT CARE, DO U? --Stella #monsterdon
I like how judgy these intertitles are
@diazona Oh. Well, that wasnโt really worth asking. Thank god posts are free. :)
Good to know they didn't delete any instances of math working properly
I swear the ships actually look like they're turning in the deleted scenes
someone misread "sector" as "specter" and just wrote that into the script #monsterdon
@diazona @davesdogmaggie truly i must have been barely looking at the screen by that point because the battle had been so much nothing....
@davesdogmaggie It's the opening scene: where did that ship crash? The one that ran into the red blood cells in space. Hoff was the only survivor of the crash. #monsterdon
@lytta @davesdogmaggie Yeah they crashed a floating city into a hand-shaped space ship and everything exploded for like two solid minutes
@diazona @davesdogmaggie oh dang did i miss an actual crash?
@davesdogmaggie I think the titular crash was the one at the end with the floating city... if that's what you meant?
@davesdogmaggie so there are apparently multiple off-screen crashes... and then the superweapon/technique they use to win at the end is called Starcrash i think?
yeah dude, things that are left on the beach usually get buried in about 2 minutes, it's kinda what tides do #monsterdon
I don't know why it didn't strike me before I see it again in the deleted scenes part, but...
So they're searching for the enemy base in these locations people have been searching for for probably decades if not hundreds of years (no clue on time scale here) but then these people just do it in hours?
Like they just... know where to go to find these places all kinds of people have been searching for forever?
Legit question.๐
@strangefour ooooh looks good indeed! Enjoy!
Dare I say it, parts of the movie almost seem to make some sense with these deleted scenes
Almost
@ricci You run up to the enemy and make a big show of having it slip from your grasp so they grab it. Your work is done for you #monsterdon
Did I miss the crash part?
@moira 'Sprobably why people keep crashing into the stars. #Monsterdon
@Terencio Devil Girl is too good for this.
@arisummerland Peak Dunning-Kruger here #monsterdon
Hmm, so I did watch the version with this campy "one damn survivor"
... Though I actually think I'm saturated on movies for the evening.
they feared the audience might laugh at the film #monsterdon
That flick was so lackluster my Bluetooth drivers quit at the very end #monsterdon
oh NOW the picture will be of lesser quality? #monsterdon
wait was Starcrash originally a French movie
@gnomon Nah, just spitballing - it's a dumb idea #monsterdon
๐ญ devil girl + stella star
@ricci only if it was tilted back and scrolling away, that's the only way to do exposition #monsterdon
@aburka it's "dub affect"
Surely Grizzly has got to have some aspects to it better than this #monsterdon
ok well that is fair to cut the scroll text for the american release if it is in ..french... #monsterdon
@forestine You missed the Amazons. #Monsterdon #StarCrash
OK I'm not losing any more valuable sleep time to this movie, especially since whoever made this deleted scenes bit really is taking themselves way too seriously.
@diazona Maybe that had the cut dinosaurs in it. #monsterdon
when we saw this scene in the movie before, I thought it was, like, a nightclub onboard the ship #monsterdon
@cainmark and many of the sound effects were just "Wee-oo-wee-oo" #Monsterdon
all of these actors sound like they barely remember their lines #monsterdon
Continuing to watch the deleted alternate scenes, and they are continuing to take themselves way too seriously.
I feel like we could've spent a little more time on the Amazon ladies planet.
You know, maybe some lunch, and a coffee before the robot had show up and start blasting everyone and rescuing our heroes.
Roger Corman had the right idea insisting on deleting some scenes, it's just that he should have deleted them all #monsterdon
@jivens @paco @floatybirb @steggy it's simple mathematics. #Monsterdon
@diogenes #monsterdon Wat? Christopher Plummer couldn't afford to visit Rome without having to make a movie there? Not buying it.
@cainmark @kurth from an even older radio skit #Monsterdon
@kcarr2015 oh i forgot about the amazons.
there were just so many Things that happened #Monsterdon
@moira looks yummy (or, promises to look yummy after baking)
@forestine
All the other women were sexy Amazons on that one first planet, who all obviously banded to together so they could fight off getting grabbed.
Nice epilogue from Emperor Uriel Strephon.
Or Ewoks Battle for Endor.
#Monsterdon #StarCrash
@bstacey Tempting! (if I didn't already have the deleted scenes queued up)
On #letterboxd I rate this trifle of a movie one and a half stars because I don't think I'm going to remember it very long https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/starcrash/ #monsterdon
This movie is a crash alright
#monsterdon
@foolishowl The wheel of time turns or, uh something.
Except I guess if he decides to stop it.
I think there was a point in there somewhere? Like, we're supposed to be good because if we don't, uh...
No, I don't think that was it. Uhm...
Good lord they are taking this way too seriously.
While getting ready for #Monsterdon, I accidentally also downloaded Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1985). Anyone down for #WrongStarcrash?
@ryan Thanks for streaming #StarCrash for #Monsterdon starting with the soundtrack/interview!
@strangefour Still better than the Star Wars Holiday Special I think
@yatsu they should remake bad movies that had character, take a gamble (Hollywood never would now)
@arisummerland @lytta ohh gotcha. Yeah that's longer than I would have thought
#monsterdon The wheel of time can be stopped anytime the emperor wants to, apparently..
part of me wants so bad to re-write this entire movie from the ground up, but most of me knows that the wisest course of action is to memory hole the entire past 90 minutes and just go on with my life. #monsterdon
Boom!
#Monsterdon
btw i was finally actually wearing my #monsterdon shirt for #monsterdon
Oh wait! Scrolling exposition in French!
And another #monsterdon comes to an end. Starcrash had it all.
Wooden acting, overt exposition, plot held together by off the cuff dialog, models that ranged from "I just saw Star Wars and want to do that" to "What, they need to shoot it when?", and a laser sword that definitely wasn't a light saber.
Thank you everyone, dumb movie riffing is much needed right now.
And as always, thank you @Taweret for hosting!
Was this the worst Star Wars movie? or just the worst one that wasn't some low budget foreign film you can excuse looking like crap?
#Monsterdon #StarCrash
#Monsterdon ๐ ๐ซ ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ
Wow.
Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @JoeWynne for trivia, @Cherizilla (by remote control but I forget who forwarded the think, and whoever that was thanks to them) for the bingo.
Wow.
Canโt believe I paused watching A Hundred Years of Solitude for this one. #Monsterdon
I think this scene is a reference to a 1960s Elaine May and Mike Nichols skit, but the names were George and Martha.
If only the Doom Machine didn't take 15 minutes to prime!
@ramsey #monsterdon I reckon its bc they only had Hasselhoff for a couple days, so they needed someone to play a character just like him, for longer.
Who the fuck was Akton? I donโt even understand Akton. What was Akton? Why was Akton?
The moral of the story is that a galaxy is a fiddly thing to have to run when there are rascals in capes helbent on taking the thing away from you. And Stella got to witness that #monsterdon
#Monsterdon so, did Caroline Munro take this part because she got to do like 20 costume changes?
hair on lens
That was a trip! I wanna see the gritty anarchist prequel series to this, it must have its own Andor out there that explains how... Umm... What was the plot again?
Thanks for a lovely hang, folks! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon and the award for most awkward fist bump in movie history goes toโฆ
That was one hell of a refurbishing job on Billy Bob Bot. Who gave him that factory reset?
Criswell Plan 9 ending.
Rest well, human-like friends! #Monsterdon
I'm rewatching the city crash and dramatic expiration. Show me the colors you fools.
#monsterdon
#starcrash1979
godzilla-related trivia: the director of STARCRASH did an edit of the original GODZILLA, colourized and with a synth soundtrack and footage from other movies. i haven't seen it yet but there are copies on youtube and the internet archive
So, a "Star Crash" is just flying a giant floating city into the evil count's space fortress?
#Monsterdon #StarCrash
I know some people are done but I have been watching on two different devices at two different paces ๐ณ
Well I remember now why I didn't remember this movie.
I have NO idea what happened. None. It's all just gone.
Well, at least it was a whole lot more fun watching it with you guys!
@rallias PG = Paltry Garments #monsterdon
Closing credits with Latin percussion - I see what you're up to, John Barry #monsterdon
Thanks everyone โ๏ธ ๐
#Monsterdon #Starcrash
thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret as always for hosting!
Iโm gonna have to go back through the list of movies for this year, but right now, this has my vote for worst.
THIS SHIT WAS RATED PG?!?
