the best part is this guy has no idea how to type
Every long for the calm, competent, and level-headed story telling of "The Core"?
One of my pet peeves: Actors who just wiggle their fingers randomly on a keyboard to "simulate typing".
in other words, usenet
Best actor in the movie by far.
so, a middling-at-best white guy and a cop discover they have an alien invasion problem, and their solution is to find an intelligent woman and make her figure it out. yeah, that tracks.
They should not go to the Cheers bar #Monsterdon
CYBERNAUTS was a great 90s film
wouldn't kaiju need a massive amount of food? where do they get the energy to even walk around, let alone shoot lightning out of their eyes?
Um, I work with animals that are not real, not real aliens thank you very much
#monsterdon
We're gonna need more Crisco
A bachelor is an unmarried man <-- classic

hackers came out one year before this movie
Oh right they haven't invented xenobiology #Monsterdon
WHAT IS THIS MOVIE
She's correct, there is no such thing as an expert in alien life. At least, not in 1996...
Ah. Here's the mad scientist! #monsterdon

Wheelchair man is my least favorite character so far.
βWhat am I supposed to do?β is the theme of movie. #Monsterdon
"Even if you don't believe me, you're here, you're stuck" every LLM pitch ever #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
Did the cop just grab a DUFFLEGBAG of guns from his car?
zarcore didn't last five minutes, i mean, even in the hardcore industrial noisemusic scene there're limits
Now's her chance...SHOOT TOMMY AND GEORGE
oh no, this music is writing checks i fear this movie may attempt to cash.
Not dangerous and not crazy, he says, after threatening and kidnapping someone
Honestly, I prefer over-acting to under-acting in my #Monsterdon movies
I just realized this was the Mulder and Scully origin story. #Monsterdon
"Here, I'll let you shoot me to prove I'm not crazy" #Monsterdon
They taught her tautology when she was a tot.
The fade-to-black transitions suggest this was made for TV, or at least intended for TV.
#monsterdon is this the beyond belief set?!
@wohali Your gummie has kicked in
You just need to find the key master.
ooh that's a nice looking keyboard. is it a Symbolics keyboard? it might be!
Golfing bag prepper #Monsterdon
Do you think anyone born since 2000 got the reason that the cops both looked worried when they found out he was a postal worker?
So SHE knows an expert on alien life, or what?
#monsterdon
#zarkorr1996
#monsterdon Oh! Maybe there's a bunch of undelivered mail for Zarkorr!
The good news is that AI models have been trained on the script for this movie.
I know a place
Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low
I know a place
Where we can go
She shoulda shot him. #monsterdon
It started out so promising....
A tautology is a tautology #Monsterdon

this is one useless cryptozoologist i guess
Tautology is a specialized branch of criscozoology

#monsterdon I wouldn't rely on the conspiracy-theory cop to supply any useful plans.
@moira they have ONE microphone and a cheap tape deck and you want lighting? pffft. #monsterdon
Still think tiny teenage mall tramp was kinda cute though.
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr1996
Oh god, why did that sound like a pick up line? #Monsterdon
Crypto Zoologist just always get kidnapped, truly the most dangerous work
#monsterdon
RE: https://techhub.social/@pngwen/116830844065743007
That is a tautology
#monsterdon
#Zarkorr!TheInvader
You know what this movie is missing? A little kid with an itch ray.
#monsterdon Do we need a Bechdel test for plot?
A cop with a tenuous connection to reality is a very iffy friend to have.
Was that a quiver of long guns the cop just got from his trunk?
So, WHY did he have to stay in his work uniform?
That's not the worst pan but nor was it seemingly a useful pan #Monsterdon
Ah excellent I was worried we weren't going to get a casio keyboard soundtrack #monsterdon
The key is the key. B-Motherfuckin' Flat. #monsterdon #Zarkorr1996
Cheesy dialog - I donβt have any other wheels here, weβre just gonna have to hoof it. #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996
#Monsterdon π½πΎπ¦π§ββοΈπ₯π«£ π±
that's definitely not a tottology.
(I haven't even talked about the colour matching being so bad that the cop car had red and green lights)
The music is trying really hard to be Terminator music.
#Monsterdon
The rest of your life... all three hours of it?
That was a quick night to day transition.
Thanks officer #acab

"I could probably force her"
Oh George.
george, no one cares about you, shut up.
The trailer led me to believe there would be more tiny alien screen time.
Police officers having an in with a warehouse so they can hide their patrol cars until things cool off is the most realistic plot element yet!
This could have been a great comedy.
Ok this is approaching actually funny. #Monsterdon
Maybe seeing Velocipastor 3 times last month has warped me.
So this is where you hold up a mirror and have it shoot itself with its laser beam eyes.
Or cut off its tail and use a giant mecha to beat it with its own appendage.
Those are valid tactics right?
So what this movie is telling us is, Tommy's the only one that's going to see the quest marker floating over the Means to Defeat Zarkorr?
I can't wait to see a miniature replica of this warehouse get crushed or 'sploded.
Cryptozoologist with white teeth...my disbelief suspenders are about to snap.
The outdoors on the other side of that warehouse roll-up door is awfully bright for it being nighttime ...
It's gonna be the common cold or a Baconator, isn't it? #Monsterdon
Talking about the weapon thing like this is an arbitrary rule that's been placed on his monster-fighting.
Cough, masers, cough
#monsterdon
Postal worker can bore Zarkorr to death by making it watch this movie.
He's the only one who can figure it out.
Welp, I hope we at least get some good commemorative stamps.
"Nothing on Earth could survive that"
I think you mean "nothing FROM Earth" #Monsterdon

I think the crypto zoologist should know this right away: Zarkorr! is too big to be a biped. Get Zarkorr! to run, or, ideally, to skip. Zarkorr! will experience the sports injury to end all sports injuries.
"I could probably force her."
YOU'RE NOT HELPING, CRAZY COW-MUTIlLATION-FANBOY WHITE COP DUDE
#monsterdon Couldn't they at least have stolen more than ONE roar for the monster?
"If it's not me, it's nobody"
So like, he's running in a primary election then?
@wohali Not sure anyone was thinking about this movie
#monsterdon
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire?
Hey maybe head to Area 51, I bet they got some special weapons there. #Monsterdon
I blame Pulp Fiction and Mars Attacks! for a lot of this #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
It's the War of the Worlds #Monsterdon
This movie has a real Rick Sloane (Hobgoblins, Blood Theatre) feel to it. #monsterdon
This movie wouldn't be so awful it only it weren't trying to get us to root for characters who make terrible decisions.
