I have missed Monsterdon so much, oh goodness.
But my chronic illnesses have been a little better lately, which is super good news, and I've actually been doing more energetic stuff on Sundays! Still. To miss most of Waterworld. It does make one rethink priorities.
Thanks everyone! :D
Fun fact, if all the ice on Earth melted, it would raise sea level by 70 meters.
So pretty much the only place there would have been a significant population of people who used to live on land and would now be nowhere near it is... Florida
y'know that kind of makes sense
WATERWORLD: it's one of the movies of all time. Come for the stunts and the SMEAT, tolerate the rest.
Me, a kid, after being told not to touch anything: <walks around picking everything up and licking it, then setting it back down>
let it never be said that WATERWORLD's stunts do not deliver, even if the writing leaves something to be desired
I read somewhere that if a human were to rely on gills they'd need them all along the body, not just neatly tucked behind the ear.
Somebody should go for it though.
And so Kevin Costner sets off into the sea replete with plants that will inevitably lead to his capture, torture, murder, and divulging of the whereabouts of Dryland and the demise of the last few humans and animals that somehow survived the Waterpocalypse, we can all rest assured that the inescapable outcome is the extinction of civilization and nothing matters. Yay? I guess? #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld
kinda crazy that they made a movie out of that Virtual Boy game
Part of my awe is how committed everyone is to this
This movie is just so wonderfully bad, like it's practically awe-inspiring. Awe is healthy, you know! We're supposed to feel more awe, it's good for us, it heals the nervous system. Everyone, your nervous system is getting healthier RIGHT NOW
We have to recycle everything. People, piss.. The Peter Gunn theme.
So I got tricked into watching Waterworld again. Bloop.
Thanks to @ryan for the bonus stream! I've tattooed a map on my back to a copy of Last Action Hero, just in case.
π¬π
I mean I know she's going to miss him, who wouldn't miss that guy, he's...well he's a guy, that's for sure
But she can GARDEN now, and start birding, and sit on grassy hills in the wind. I think she'll be alright.
I wonder if the Virtual Boy game is this fun
My favorite part of post-apocalyptic stories are all the creepazoid breeder attitudes towards women*
*please stop
These guys use ammo like it's really easy to come by
We flip now, from a movie I wished I had rented back in the day, to a movie I wished my friends would stop renting for the love of god
Awww, she's so cute though!
I want to kiss the cheeks of wild fish men and hand them music boxes and then run away
She's wondering where else he has gills
Somewhere
Beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
Is a copy of Demolition Man, on VHS
We could have rented instead of this
This is the wettest advert for cigarettes I've ever seen
You've come a long way, Muto
Give the people what they want. And what they want is SMEAT.
The lengths Kevin Costner will go to in order to kiss a babe
Internet streaming loves rendering water
"Nuke the whales"
I think this movie has just "jumped the shark"

Beware of their mortal enemies: The Vapers.
@kcarr2015 OMG there's an extended cut? π€―
Gentleman Guppy can't live in the dirt, people, don't ask him to be less than he is
YOUR LOVE WAS DOOMED FROM THE START
Me: YEAH I'M GETTING OUT MY LIFESTRAW ANYWAY, THANKS THOUGH
Gulls, the birds of hope
Maybe the real monster was the Exxon Valdez we met along the way
"Let's get this tub of shit up to speed!"
Waterworld director, waterworld cast, handshake meme
Wow. The Exxon captain?
Want to get some Dan Quayle jokes out of your system while we're down in the brig?
*tries not to think too hard about the pressure difference*
Who is making all the cigarettes
@ramsey I guess the smokers got spectacularly lucky with salvage.
Which they're spending poorly
@mxchara π yeah honestly not bad this week
(I mean the viewing experience, not the movies of course)
(although actually Waterworld was kinda fine compared to our usual fare)
Shore, why not
I like how they don't explain how they landed that thing
more like Exxon Valdeez nuts
"It was smart thinking to burn your boat."
Guy's got a good dental plan, on this boat
Good thing bullets can't swim π
...though if that's new york, either he swam down 5 km, or there are still continents
I haven't seen this movie before. But the presence of that kid tells me that the rest of this movie is not worth watching. Good night y'all.
"You've got nothin' I need," he said, with the shrill sternness of a Denny's late night manager
Oh yes, cover your nudity from anyone passing by.
This definitely isn't going to preserve water

Getting a lot of grip out of the tip of that harpoon
@diazona @cptbutton #Monsterdon #WrongBabies
If there's a shark... they're gonna need a bigger boat...
I always thought about building a rapid-fill hot-air balloon like that to save myself from earthquakes and tsunamis.
Is there supposed to be a subtext about how wildly wasteful and pointlessly destructive the smokers are being? I hope so.
Go for it!
Don't mind me, I'm just laughing at the centuries-old jetskis
@combatwombat his parents were humanoid and probably had gills. It could work, maybe.
maximum recycling
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
Actually, you know what, I've changed my mind because WATERWORLD is ridiculous. I'll put on the #MonsterdonDoubleFeature for a bit of background noise as I wind my evening down.
RE: https://mstdn.social/@kcarr2015/111681714603015709
Well that was lovely. Thoughts about the extended cut are about the same as the first time I watched this. π
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #WaterWorld #MonsterMiru #UlyssesCut
First time I caught both #Monsterdon and #MonsterdonDoubleFeature. Swell job everyone, it's really fun to see all the heckling scroll by, and these were a bit more fun than some of the other films that have been featured
@diazona Crossing my gills! Or gulls! :D
@plaidtron3000 Presumably the Mariner can visit other "atolls" and lead people to dryland.
Good film, thanks @ryan and the #MonsterMiru gang!
Two or three people ain't a sustainable breeding population.
@hollie Unless you have food, then they're the birds of being assholes
When you want to keep rollin' towards Dryland so you have to blimp risk it
This is the dumbest thing
Oh thank God
He's like a turd that won't flush

@brews SMEAT is a veritable celebrity in the world of props. The labels are still available for purchase today.

"Saint Joe"
Reference to the Exxon Valdez oil spill
@kcarr2015 wait WHAT
I could have sworn someone said it was hundreds of years ago
although this is #Monsterdon so anything could have happened
What if Mad Max was a breakfast cereal and we just let it go soggy
He's THE MARINER
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #Waterworld
@hollie Time to do some experiments
Y'know, for science
She has a map on her back that sheβs probably never seen because itβs on her back. How the hell can she tell you how to read it?! Sheβs never seen it!
Spoken like someone who has never actually tasted a brain
(it's very bland)
isnβt it interesting how misogyny does and doesnβt change through the decadβno, centuri--no, millennia?
if waterworld is any indication of what the distant future holds for humans, i choose a different timeline, species and planet next go-around
I had literally forgotten this part
#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #MonsterdonDoubleFeature
How was this not just a Saturday morning cartoon?
Could've aired this right after Pirates of Dark Water
may be the mood im in. no, no, itβs not. but that damsel-in-distress scene with an added touch of HE-can-save-me-and-my-kid wasβ¦β¦β¦how shall i sayβ¦β¦ew.
I sail a lonely sea
The only sea that's home to me
Don't know where it flows
But I'll raise my sails and row alone
Mariner absolutely knew how that would go down, what an asshole
Witness also a young Jack Black in this scene
So which is port, and which is starboard again?
Spectacular shooting, that harpoon gun doesn't even have sites to lead the target.
You don't mess with a bro's crayons!
So he's evolved gills... for salt water. But can't drink the stuff. OK.
@neia #Monsterdon #WrongBabies
"Dez" nuts lmao gottem
WHAT IS THE DEEZ?
@cptbutton @Terencio Oh I will be very happy if there's a shark
dolphin sounds as he jumps from the water
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #WaterWorld
Look people, there's going to be some kind of apocalypse, and after it's over we're going to be part of a theme park spectacle as a way of life
Deal with it
the pig mask pretty much says it all
