I feel like a LOT of money was put into this movie just... not in the script. Or the miniatures. Or the costumes. Or...
@randy_s that was William Kitt. This is Bradley Cooper #Monsterdon
Man, that dude's accent is distracting #monsterdon
"Take care"? Really? #Monsterdon #starcrash1978
Actually, in 1978 I would have thought those graphics pretty cool.
"It's almost buried!" is such a nice way to say "we barely buried these set pieces" #Monsterdon
At least she asks if there is air.
They are trying too hard to sound American.
#Monsterdon
This Hyperspace makes me nervous too
I like the little carved out nooks in the chair for Ackton's perm. #Monsterdon #Starcrash
oh it's Worst Mini-Sub, okay
Wheeeeeeeee!
that's an adorable little shuttle egg
Wait, Stella Star's skimpy prison uniform was more covering than her planetary exploration outfit? I'm crying
#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978
I rode on that minicar at disneyland
wait is she wearing even less clothes now? 🥴 🥴 🥴
#monsterdon
Soy-kets here is Marvin's the Paranoid Android's cousin. #Monsterdon
So hyperspace isn't normal mode of transport?
@steggy Not in the penal colony!
#monsterdon
this emperor guy seems to be the dictator of a government that uses robot police and metes out life sentences like candy but I'm sure his framing of the galactic conflict is completely truthful #monsterdon
Nervous Texan robot reporting for duty. #Monsterdon #StarCrash
Let's just do a little exposition for the audience now. Because apparently not everyone has heard of hyperspace?
That robot certainly is a fancy pants.
@paco Maybe Christopher Plummer enjoyed the cosplay. #Monsterdon #StarCrash (and the filming in Italy)
"Every time we go into hyperspace I get nervous"
I do too, but only because all my life when I've felt anxious I've been told I look hyper.
you don't want to use the space shuttle, that thing's not safe, nasa retired for a reason
Why is there a big teakettle on their bridge?
The robot who said he has no emotion circuits just said he gets nervous.
#monsterdon
you never know when this film is going to smash cut to C64 sfx #monsterdon
Any reason for the green dude?
#monsterdon
Good bye, Emperor von Trapp #monsterdon
Gotta go stand in front of the Orb of Teeth #Monsterdon
Shall we begin our search for URANUS?
oooh this is the part that syncs up with dark side
The guys who delivered those computer effects did NOT live up to contract. #Monsterdon #Starcrash
Uranus?!?! #monsterdon
At least Plummer is putting in a full day's work.
I just can't handle the robot with that accent.
Okay, I will give the movie credit for using oscilloscope output that way. Simple, but effective.
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 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?
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.
christ there's the PCjr at work again
In a modern remake, Chief Thor would be played by Dave Bautista. #Monsterdon #starcrash
she looks cold
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?
Wake me up after the soliloquies
He's here, the emperor of double-exposure 6. #monsterdon
Christopher "a gig's a gig" Plummer
He was my only son, and the key to resurrection and eternal life in Talos's name
@Taweret Point at the doll where the bad script hurt you.
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
so is she just not gonna wear pants for the rest of the movie then? 🥴
#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
In this universe they choose their emperor based on his ability to deliver exposition #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Goddamn Plummer can brood.
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
Christopher plummer probably had only one day of work for this exposition dump.
#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.
Ok, I legit want to know. To we know how hair dude got back in the group? I thought he was left behind...
Listen, Plummer got his paycheck, he doesn't care.
CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND GENTLEBEINGS
Though my Skyrim brain is all "Dragonborn, let us taste of your Voice!"
Christopher Plummer, in this context, is a Herald of Woe
Plummer gave all for this POS. What a pro.
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.
He counts from one to infinity
#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
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
The imperial flagship looks a bit like the palace of the Empress in The Neverending Story from this angle #Monsterdon
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."
Wait, what? This roman-esque dude is the emperor? Not temu Ming the Merciless?
#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?
Do we have a premise yet
why is the robot with the accent named Elle
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.
Can I get this robot voice for Siri?
A robot cop with a Yosemite Sam voice is a bold choice, I'll give you that
Nah bro, I still don't trust them. ACAB especially space cops.
Nice seeing Tessier in a part other than "prison guard" or "executioner"
#Monsterdon Roger Daltrey is back.
hoe-low-graphic
Save me Obi-Wan!!! #monsterdon
