What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?

leonardo dicaprio's film debut as the orphan who mercilessly beats the adorable but very hungry space furby to death with a shoe #monsterdon

@littlemiao

For those who ain't seen Critters 1 & 2:

It's about a microblogging social network for crafts ("Critter") that gets invaded by a nasty little alien predator

In the 1st movie, the bloggers defeat the alien with the power of their "creets" & knitted protest banners

In the 2nd movie, the alien takes over Critter & renames it "C" (because he's a complete C-word)

In the 3rd tonight, the rebel alliance fight back from their base in the "Crediverse".

In interviews, Roddy McDowell said he knew the expectation was for him to act like Vincent Price, but he thought it was better to have the character be a really bad actor (thus the backwards stake in the old movie).

I think he was exactly right.

#FrightNight1985

🧛‍♀️🧛🌔

In the 1980s, when local stations had late night horror movie hosts, it makes sense that young men would naturally have gone to these celebrities rather than the authorities to solve problems. I myself still have a restraining order from Elvira.

I assume @Taweret hosts #monsterdon sitting in a coffin.

Hubby looked it up and IMDB does say that if you go frame by frame, the mice are getting squirted with fake blood, and not actually being wounded.

What should our next #Monsterdon movie be?

Bravo! Bravo! Everyone bravo! 👏👏👏

Fun to watch this with some people who've never seen it. It's a great musical and the movie gets to do so much unique stuff. Loved seeing posts from those of you viewing for the first time as the show unfolded its magic.

And the PUPPETS! And the SINGING!

Gah. I'm not a fanatic for musicals or anything, but this one is mandatory reading IMO, it's great in any format and especially in this format with this budget.

Thanks @ryan for setting up the #WrongFrogs double feature, it's always fun to revisit this one.

Have a nice night/week y'all!

#Monsterdon

But otherwise, Seymour has fucked off into the plant and that's a wrap for #monsterdon proper this week! Goodnight and thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone new to the Fediverse this week... welcome! We have fun here. :3

I award Little Shop of Horrors (1960) 5 out of 5 spooky murdered face flowers, purely on the strength of how fucked up and weird it was.

Almost every sequence of dialog was baffling. Also, it was sort of a greek tragedy, just with a killer plant, and the flaw was a hunger for money and adoration? It managed to be both completely disturbed but also completely cheerful and not scary about how disturbed it was.

I like the Vampire lore thing that it's religious symbols that remind you of the sin you have committed, but then I do love the Peter Watts 'Vampires can't process Right Angles' thing.

I don't watch Top of The Pops and I don't watch the Monsterdon films, but I do watch the hashtags #TOTP and #Monsterdon because they are so entertaining. It is amusing to reverse-engineer some of the more out-of-context comments that fly by under these banners. My compliments to everyone who contributoots to these.

The best part of this movie was absolutely 100% the way it just throws up a bit of text at the very end that effectively says "btw aliens did it. They got blown up, so it's ok now."

#Monsterdon

You can always tell that a movie is good when it has epilogue text.

Glad that King kicked the coke habit. What a ride that is. Don't do drugs, kids.

#Monsterdon fun tidbit from the DVD extras that came with my AppleTV version: for the two-headed wolf which is furry, earlier animations tended to have a problem where the fur would get messed with as the animator manipulated the model for each frame -- they mostly avoided this for this instance by being careful to touch the model as much as possible on the _back side_ that's not facing the camera, so it doesn't muss the fur on the visible side!

@strangefour I want a movie where a woman carries a monster around. #monsterdon

I gotta give credit to Gloria de Haven, a legit actor with a long, storied career, for doing her best with this script. It often felt like she was the only one who knew what acting was. #Monsterdon

Geez. This monster needs a CPAP machine. #monsterdon

I mean the monster lays eggs but everyone's calling him a guy just because he steals women - that's rather heteronormative

I’ve seen this one several times. But this was the best viewing. It makes a difference to have seen several decades of science fiction in between to re-recontextualize it, I guess. Thanks for making this choice, #Monsterdon folks!

This concludes my #monsterdon thread for #ForbiddenPlanet, a movie that I liked but thought was more interesting than good, if that makes sense?

It makes me want to watch sfdebris' review of this movie again... I think he had a good argument that its plot was kind of a religious warning against technology, which is a notable take.

Remember to oil your robots I guess?

#monsterdon This also illustrates why Leslie Neilson is so good at comedy.

He can deliver absolutely absurd lines just like he's playing a serious role, because he's good at serious roles.

Yeah yeah, as though a million souls cried out at once and then were silenced. Lunch? #Monsterdon

The fact that "Slugs" and "Snowbeast" were released several decades after #ForbiddenPlanet suggests to me that human civilisation was almost wiped out in the late fifties and we had to re-learn cinema from scratch.
