I stick gloves in the snow and call it a dead body also.
#Monsterdon

There are also a lot of "no one could have survived" terrible crashes.

#monsterdon

@sng see exactly this is what i want to hear for all the words. and when they drift in meaning, conflict, etc. #monsterdon

This green guy is a hella of an actor, isn't he?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, it's icy, so... winterkini...

We've seen a lot of movies where out of nowhere there would be a really well composed composite shot. This is not one of those moments. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

So what you're saying is it's NOT habitable, then.

#monsterdon #starcrash

@SRLevine @Taweret Though there's a bit of bias in that the white and blue ones are bright, and most of the red ones are very dim and not visible to the naked eye

#Monsterdon

Wait, she has on clothes again! So she actually _has_ clothes?

#Monsterdon

@socketwench " AndI doooo chair-ish yoouuuuu🎶 " #iMatBeAbot #Monsterdon

Oh thank goodness, cold-weather gear.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

So, like, uhhh, what are the amazons doing now? Are they like, still pursuing them or.....

#monsterdon #starcrash

@jonny @Taweret you never know when you might need it

actually you always know when you might need it tbh

#Monsterdon

excuse me THOUSANDS of degrees?? #monsterdon

On to the ice level! #monsterdon

maybe someone already mentioned it but this is another italian movie where actors just speak whatever language and are dubbed later which is why some people match and some don't #Monsterdon

"The temperature drops thousands of degrees!" So, like, the daytime temperature is roughly the same as the sun?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

"Cut! Let's go again, but put more pauses in-between each line."

#Monsterdon #StarCrash

thousands of degrees? so uhh,,,,, then the surface is white hot during the day?? 🥴
#monsterdon

oof that's a shot made WAY worse by ambition

#monsterdon #starcrash

Well at least she has more clothes on now?

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

#Monsterdon "Run Stella! Ruuun!"

She gave up pretty quick....

#Monsterdon

@Louisa all stop, no motion #monsterdon

“The temperature drops thousands of degrees.”

Someone needs to learn basic physics.

#Monsterdon

The temperature drops thousands of degrees whoa that is cold

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1979

OK, crew, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but we need to talk about your celebrating too early.

No, you didn't do it, so saying "we did it" without actually doing it is going to hurt moral.

#monsterdon

Simmer down there, green guy, don't be so excited #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the temperature drops "thousands of degrees" at night

uh....

#Monsterdon

Space effects that Blake's 7 would've been proud of!

@ricci @Taweret thank you for having this so near at hand at a moment's notice #monsterdon

@nev that's brilliant, Sam

#Monsterdon

This curly-headed guy so wanted to be Tom Baker.

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

Bets on what costume she will be wearing on the ice planet?

#Monsterdon

Her collar got bigger, but none of the rest of her clothes?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

So they found Uranus?

#Monsterdon

Holy crap, my friends did better stop motion animation in high school.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

I'll cop to it. I have been imagining the entire protagonist crew sporting the same glam eye-liner that Stella is rocking, and it's a better film for it. #Monsterdon

Based on the amount of colour in space, none of the people involved in the movie have ever looked up.

#monsterdon

Did her collar just get rhinestoned?
#Monsterdon

ANOTHER snow planet?

"The temperature drops 1000s of degrees" not Celsius then?

#Monsterdon

It's not just a female robot. It's not just metal boobs. Metal boobs with nipples. This is a very advanced society.
#monsterdon

@nev Harryhausen did the music and John Barry did the SFX

#monsterdon

Their chairs all look like 80s landline phone receivers.

#monsterdon #starcrash

Did I miss it or did the big fembot shoot lasers from her tiddies? They HAVE to shoot lasers they just HAVE to #Monsterdon

if it's called "earth" I'm gonna riot

#monsterdon #starcrash

I love how they're just like "hey, lookie! We have a pan control on the sound. It's in stereo guys!"

#Monsterdon

'there's one more!'

3 ships fly by onscreen

'we're down from 6 to 5!'

what is math

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is that an aluminum foil robot?

okay but was movie drax actually based on this green guy

#monsterdon

Even in 1979 I would have thought these effects were schlocky. 🙄

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

I think someone should film a spaceship dogfight and score it all with Northern Cardinal calls. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Cardinal/sounds

#Monsterdon #birdeing

@diazona Way to exploit their lead in seatbelt technology #monsterdon

@Taweret It's Pride Month.

#monsterdon #starcrash

#monsterdon For all the effort they put into the space-ships earlier in the film, it would have been nice to be able to see the enemy fighters.

wow this space battle scene almost has dramatic tension

#monsterdon

"More to the left! No, your other left.Your *space* left!"

#Monsterdon

i do respect that Star Star is a female ship captain

#monsterdon

don’t get too cocky out there kid! #monsterdon

There's some weird kind of new math going on here. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

BIG DREAMS: gigantic mecha-babe that stands guard of the beach
SMALL BUDGET: soundtrack performed by a single musician lazily going doot doot doot doot over the clay model one fo the production exec's kids made while being bored onset
#monsterdon

Run! Try to make it plausible that you can outpace a giant foil-wrapped amazon bot.

#Monsterdon

We’re 30 minutes into this film, and I really don’t care about any of it.

And this theme sounds so familiar. What’s it from?

#Monsterdon

@Taweret it's the haunted planets

#monsterdon

Giant lumbering fetish robot is not interested in subtext #monsterdon

They've never been to this planet, but they know that the "amazons" have air fighters? OK.

#monsterdon

That death animation...

I just...

I can't think of words.

Like how did it suddenly end up on its side even?

#Monsterdon

Did they just whiz past the infinity stones?

#Monsterdon

Her outfit has the middle bits again?!

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

That is an Oscar-worthy death for the giant robot Amazon.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

[spaceship wibbling throughout]

#monsterdon #starcrash

#monsterdon Robots with Texas accents. Assualtrons, I think this one might have influenced the Fallout franchise a little.

So, till no wwe have lousy fx, lousy robot, lousy acting and the main protagonists wardrobe bought in a sex shop.
#monsterdon

A giant badly animated fembot I can't even 🤣 #Monsterdon

when you don't have the budget for a proper uniform and just crumple a bunch of aluminium foil in there as filler

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

“Don’t you follow us now!”

Um, how many times has that line worked before?
#Monsterdon

“He’s here!” #monsterdon

the odd part is that this music sounds way more Black Hole than anything else from the era

#monsterdon #starcrash

The giant robot walks like a toddler wrapped in tin foil

#monsterdon

@caban4 They're wherever Jason and the Argonauts went to look for the Golden Fleece? #Monsterdon #StarCrash

"Amazons on horseback! I hope they're friendly."

No further comment needed.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

did Harryhausen do these SFX

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love the robot's ability to identify Amazons with no context.

Like, he sees three women on horseback and just goes "Whoop! Amazons!"

He must be fun to be around at horse camp.

i feel like those lasers should have reflected right off the robot

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon robot guardian with metal tiddy

Dang, I don't have lackadaisical running on my bingo card.

#monsterdon

@Taweret if they don't inflate like a beach ball i'm walking #monsterdon

I feel like this entire section of the movie is just an elaborate Clairol commercial #Monsterdon

She can’t run around the knife in the ground?

#Monsterdon

I love the energy of carrying a tiny giant sword and then throwing it at someone before ever taking a swing. Tradition is not the boss of you, giant claymation fembot! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Please tell me the boobs are escape pods or cannons.

so is that bubblewrap insulation or regular aluminium foil?

#monsterdon #starcrash

@RobynGoodfellow Well it fits the theme of the planet

#Monsterdon

@Taweret lasers i hope #monsterdon

Would Star Wars be better with giant robots? Many people are asking this question
#monsterdon

#monsterdon I spent New Year's Eve 1989/90 in bed in recovery, because I spent New Year's Eve Eve doing more dancing and drinking with Nadia Cassini than I ever had in my life. Worth it!

Early super low budget Dr. Who has better fake giant creatures.

No, like seriously.

#Monsterdon

"My nephew can do stop motion animation, no need to pay those guys"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh, some Harryhausen vibes here!!!

pretty guardian sailor moon! kill them! #monsterdon
