Folks we are about an hour out from #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. It's a big ol' tootstorm, so if you don't wanna join in I'd suggest filtering the hashtag.
If you DO want to join in, though, this week we're watching KRULL (1983), a sword-and-sorcery flop featuring a bunch of babyfaced future stars!
The movie's available on Tubi, or from Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/krull.-1983.1080p.-blu-ray.x-264.-yify_202408
Hit play at 9pm Eastern and toot about it with us!
15-ish minutes until #Monsterdon! Get your snacks together and cue the movie up! Or set up your hashtag filter to avoid it! This is your final warning! Anything you still can't deal with is therefore your own problem!
Wow, this film is really two hours long, huh. Gird your loins. #Monsterdon
TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS
(where appli-Krull-ble)
That's some good fantasy wailing. #Monsterdon
MANN OR SILVERMAN?
RYGAR, for the NES
Dicken Ashworth, or Ash Dickensworth #Monsterdon
Once again, upskirt shots of a spaceship. #Monsterdon
Still, nice to see driftwood repurposed like that. Usually it's just greebling as far as the eye can see. #Monsterdon
Another natural disaster caused by Space X :/ #Monsterdon
URUK-HAI! #Monsterdon
Poooooppies will make us sleep! #Monsterdon
"He's got HUUUUGE... tracts of land!" #Monsterdon
They'll have a kid with a *remarkable* hat. #Monsterdon
Wow, Eddington looks different with hair. #Monsterdon
"Wouldn't you jump for me?"
Ma'am
MAWWAGE
Mawwage is what bwings us twogethaah twoday #Monsterdon
Oh, there's Obi Wan. #Monsterdon
SUDDENLY STORMTROOPERS #Monsterdon
Yeah, this is kinda like if Excalibur and Star Wars had a baby. A weird, slightly unsettling baby. #Monsterdon
They're killing the wedding guests! I was wrong, they're not Stormtroopers, they're a bunch of Lancelots. #Monsterdon
Oh, gooey. Nice :D #Monsterdon
Parry, parry, thrust, thrust, GOOD! #Monsterdon
oh my god they're doing the "swinging on the chandelier cord" bit unironically :D #Monsterdon
And so the forces of evil killed the hero and triumphed over the land! The end! Weird movie, but at least it's short. #Monsterdon
...Oh, he's alive. Dammit. #Monsterdon
Mm, toe jam unguent. #Monsterdon
Yeah, Freddie Jones is 100% too good for this film. #Monsterdon
"I'll find men on the way."
We'll make a stop at Accountemps. #Monsterdon
"Am I that man?"
Generally speaking if you have to ask, the answer is no >_> #Monsterdon
"Hi folks, I'm a mountain. Just wanna put in a good word for plate tectonics while the camera lingers on me. Thanks for stopping by!" #Monsterdon
Seriously though, the soundtrack sits front and center and shouts, "THIS IS EPIC GOD DAMN IT, ACKNOWLEDGE HOW EPIC THIS IS" #Monsterdon
...Okay for a second there I thought we were gonna go for a third week in a row with a silicone prop nipple in our movie and I was gonna throw a fit. #Monsterdon
Oh, it's a lava cookie with a free prize inside. #Monsterdon
...Okay so the princess's half of the story is just gonna be A Clockwork Orange, huh? #Monsterdon
The movie: A glaive is a five-pointed magical ninja star
You: A glaive is a polearm
Me, a nerd: A glaive is a bouncy stick with a bug friend :D
Oh no, it's the funny companion :/ #Monsterdon
That's what happens when you fail your Wild Magic check. #Monsterdon
...Ergo, huh. We're gonna see too much of him, get Ergo poisoning :/ #Monsterdon
Our hero is being hounded by wandering trumpets. #Monsterdon
Aaaaaand there's a botched stealth check. #Monsterdon
"Is it foolish to fight for your home?"
I dunno, are we getting a lend-lease program? Are the sanctions still up? Do we get Starlink access? #Monsterdon
Oh, he's getting his hand stamped. He gets back in for free. #Monsterdon
Our wizard's kind of a liability here, huh. #Monsterdon
Good to see they're leaving the Redshirts behind. #Monsterdon
So what do you figure the under/over is on Muttonchop Gandalf there eating it before the end of the movie? #Monsterdon
It does sooo much heavy lifting
@CactuarJoe
I wish they'd split the money better between the music and the cinematography.
@CactuarJoe Y'know I could just turn off my monitor and it'd be 100% legit epic, no notes
@diazona Yeah honestly the visuals kind of ruin the soundtrack :P #Monsterdon
