I just can't handle the robot with that accent.

#Monsterdon

Okay, I will give the movie credit for using oscilloscope output that way. Simple, but effective.

#monsterdon #starcrash

Wait, they just got out of prison, they're going to meet the Emperor, who has a special mission for them.

It's Elder Scrolls in space.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

#Monsterdon If the planet is unknown, why does it have a name?

Now that she's out of prison couldn't she put some clothes on?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1979

I've forgotten almost everything about this movie.

But I 100% remember how much I want to pummel that robot. Like with my bare hands.

#Monsterdon

christ there's the PCjr at work again

#monsterdon #starcrash

In a modern remake, Chief Thor would be played by Dave Bautista. #Monsterdon #starcrash

We have about two characters' worth of emotion and delivery in this movie, and it is not evenly distributed.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

she looks cold

#monsterdon

do you think it took a while for holo-message technology or whatever to get to the point where the sender could do the dramatic turn away and throw one more detail over their shoulder?

#monsterdon

Wake me up after the soliloquies

#monsterdon #starcrash1979

i am learning that my favorite quality in movies is getting all three of the trifecta right
a) me not knowing what the fuck is happening
b) clearly trying and failing to do something even if we have no idea what is is, aka not cynically "bad on purpose"
c) whatever is happening is awesome anyway

and this movie is really breaking the meters on all three scales #monsterdon

He's here, the emperor of double-exposure 6. #monsterdon

Christopher "a gig's a gig" Plummer

#Monsterdon

He was my only son, and the key to resurrection and eternal life in Talos's name

#monsterdon #starcrash

@Taweret Point at the doll where the bad script hurt you.

#monsterdon

okay right so..... we went BACK in time from the beginning a bit? is that it? i think that's it? i think this confused me the first time too

#monsterdon

so is she just not gonna wear pants for the rest of the movie then? 🥴
#monsterdon

In this universe they choose their emperor based on his ability to deliver exposition #monsterdon

Look, a hologram of the emperor. Did you know that no one can sue us just for using the narrative device of hologram messages from royalty? It's true

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Goddamn Plummer can brood.

Christopher plummer probably had only one day of work for this exposition dump.
#Monsterdon

I like the fact that an actor like Christopher Plummer doesn't have to be in the same room as these 4 blocks of wood. Can you imagine what it must be like to be an actor of that quality in a film of this quality?
#monsterdon

Is this weapon by chance a Death Star?

Is the Count's name Count Dookoo?

#Monsterdon

C....Christopher PLUMMER?

Oh man, what bet did you lose? What did they have on you? #Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou Honestly, I want a recording of him speaking like this, so I can listen to it when falling asleep.

#Monsterdon

Ok, I legit want to know. To we know how hair dude got back in the group? I thought he was left behind...

#Monsterdon

Listen, Plummer got his paycheck, he doesn't care.

#Monsterdon

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND GENTLEBEINGS

Though my Skyrim brain is all "Dragonborn, let us taste of your Voice!"

#Monsterdon

Christopher Plummer, in this context, is a Herald of Woe

#Monsterdon

"The evil Count..."

#Monsterdon

Plummer gave all for this POS. What a pro.

#Monsterdon

Star Wars: The Force Awakens
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm glad Plummer redeemed himself in ST VI

Now sing Edelweiss!! #Monsterdon #Starcrash

Not-Hoff is so bored.

#monsterdon #starcrash

He counts from one to infinity

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so they got like 5 people killed for no real reason?

#Monsterdon also featured in this film: Caroline Munro's boobs.

Just realized I’ve seen this on MST3K. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon The director clearly subscribed to the "gravitas is when you talk really slowly" school of directing.

He's no Emperor Uriel Septim, I gotta say that

#monsterdon #starcrash

Pick it up old man, everyone is looking bored right now.
#Monsterdon

@skatem Character names: Stella Star and everyone else. #Monsterdon #StarCrash

Sorry movie. This hair clog of a film needed a different Plummer. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

Holographic exposition.

Taking notes.

#monsterdon

The imperial flagship looks a bit like the palace of the Empress in The Neverending Story from this angle #Monsterdon

You know I never have to think about low-latency mastodon clients when I'm not participating in #monsterdon. Is there a terminal-based client I should be using?

Is this ASMR now? Why is he talking like that?

*real soft voice* "The evil count is out to kill us all. You must save the galaxy."

#Monsterdon

Wait, what? This roman-esque dude is the emperor? Not temu Ming the Merciless?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

#Monsterdon Plummer won't appear in real life, it's so embarrassing.

So, the cops who turned them in are the same ones who rescued them?

#Monsterdon

Do we have a premise yet

#Monsterdon

why is the robot with the accent named Elle

#monsterdon

The real monstrosity is the waste of such an amazing actor. #monsterdon

The imperial flagship looks 3d printed #monsterdon

Plum-mer! Plum-mer! Plum-mer! bangs on table #Monsterdon

My headcanon is that this guy is Ozimandius from Watchmen.

#monsterdon #starcrash

Can I get this robot voice for Siri?

#Monsterdon #StarCrash

A robot cop with a Yosemite Sam voice is a bold choice, I'll give you that

#Monsterdon

Christopher, what are you doing?

who is making you do this?

#Monsterdon

Nah bro, I still don't trust them. ACAB especially space cops.

#Monsterdon

Nice seeing Tessier in a part other than "prison guard" or "executioner"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Roger Daltrey is back.

C'mon Chris, keep it together. No corpsing, you're a professional. #Monsterdon

hoe-low-graphic

#Monsterdon

Save me Obi-Wan!!! #monsterdon

Lankton, holding in a laugh or a fart? Pourquoi pas les deux? #Monsterdon

Tough actin'.. um.. Akton. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

#Monsterdon Look, pick a musical theme. Use the keyboard OR the strings. Not both.

okay so wait. i would swear the robot guy didn't have that accent in the first set of scenes

#monsterdon

we need a raccoon in this group #monsterdon

No mistaking that Roger Corman spaceship styles. #monsterdon

"Mortal Engines: Space"

#Monsterdon

Little bit of a Studio Ghibli vibe in that last bit of music.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

Chris like, no no, don't get up. #Monsterdon

Acton? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acton,_Ontario

#Monsterdon

@Ayyyydrew The answer to all your questions is “no.”

#Monsterdon

The imperial flag ship was built from pasta and gold spray paint over lunchtime in a team builder exercise at Acme Corp.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1979

I never been to Akton

I been through Acron once but never Akton

#monsterdon #starcrash

Wait, hair dude is back? I missed something.

#Monsterdon

@jonny Did you know: the voice actor for the robot has the last name Camp, nominative determinism right there

#Monsterdon

I didn't expect to see whoever the hell you are either. #monsterdon Oh your sentence has been "cancelled", yes that's the most sensible word choice there.

@apLundell The princess in that movie wore more garments though #monsterdon

@Louisa No time to change clothes! A prison jumpsuit would be luxury! #Monsterdon #Starcrash

Huh, Trump Hotel in Space #Monsterdon

Hang on, I typed one comment and somehow got entirely lost. Why are they in a ship with the space cops now?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

What I wouldn't do to dress in that outfit and look good doing it though, NGL.

#Monsterdon

That was an awfully big dome light.
#monsterdon

I like green vin diesel

#monsterdon

Humans with robotic delivery and robots with Southern accents and twice as much character in their voice as anyone else? That's novel!

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

This robot sounds like a hick.

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat It was an asteroid field.

#Monsterdon

was Akton frozen in carbonite? #monsterdon

oh my god the bald guy's head is green????

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon omg the robot has no emotions but the worst accent.

So that whole last 10 minutes was pointless? Cool, cool
#Monsterdon

That outfit totally want to be Michael Jackson's Thriller suit. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

"Would I lie to you?" "HOOOOO-NEY" "Would I like to you honey?"

#monsterdon #starcrash
