It is now ONE HOUR until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! At 9pm EST (that's 1am UTC) a bunch of nerds will start watching a goofy monster flick! To avoid this, consider setting up a hashtag filter!
If you'd like to join in, this week's movie is STARCRASH (1979), a Star Wars knockoff with some really great set and costume design and *truly* some of the hokiest dialogue ever put to script!
The flick is available gratis on Tubi over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/399606/starcrash
On Youtube over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfjFAM_BLgc
Or you can download from Archive.org right here: https://archive.org/details/starcrash-1978_202403
Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along with us! C'mon, it'll be fun :D
Christopher Plummer is like my favorite part of Starcrash, he *understood* the assignment :D
Pathos... And! Gravitas. Save the joviality for the half-dozen margaritas waiting at the poolside after shooting. God the things you do for a vacation in Rome. #Monsterdon
Ten minutes to #Monsterdon! Set up a filter if you're gonna, or get the movie cued up! Anything else, you're on your own!
TURN DOWN YOUR LIGHTS
(where applicable)
Lots of Star Wars ripoffs open with a starship upskirt, few have the cojones to do it from EXACTLY THE SAME ANGLE :P #Monsterdon
Y'gotta centrifuge your soldiers to separate the officers from the rank and file. #Monsterdon
They're leaving the Fuschia Planet! #Monsterdon
"A barren desert of whiteness"
Oh, Kansas. Gotcha. #Monsterdon
Poor bastards got stuck in the Lava Lamp of Torture #Monsterdon
Oh sure, the Washbergers, I went to their potluck last Wednesday. They're takin' the camper down to Lake Woebegon next week. #Monsterdon
EEEEEY, hey Chris :D #Monsterdon
...Okay apparently we're done with the music now. >_> #Monsterdon
You guys seem kinda close to those stars, watch out or you're gonna
crash
I could go for some hyperspace right about now. Mmm. #Monsterdon
Great chairs :D #Monsterdon
Apparently they made it? I couldn't tell. #Monsterdon
I think this outfit is the most pants she wears in the entire film. #Monsterdon
What a *helmet* my god #Monsterdon
"I'm being rescued by a see-through Michelin Man." #Monsterdon
The Emperor of the First Circle of the Universe! So, probably a low-ranking comptroller or something, huh. #Monsterdon
"You are completely surrounded by fighter ships!"
Made from ceiling tiles and legos, but yeah sure. #Monsterdon
You think it's someone's job to polish those stairs? #Monsterdon
"My lord?"
NYEEEEEES? #Monsterdon
Excuse me, my lord, do you bychance have six fingers on one of your hands? #Monsterdon
It always surprised me they used "golems" for these robots, given the mythology involved. Like, is the Evil Count supposed to be Jewish? #Monsterdon
Eeeeey, Judge Tentacle Butthead! #Monsterdon
Yeah, see, they stole her pants when she got to prison :/ #Monsterdon
You can't have a railing kill without railings! Foul! #Monsterdon
I like the way Stella plots the escape and then bails the instant she gets a gun, very heroic :P #Monsterdon
Nice of Barbarella to come pick her up. #Monsterdon
I want that spinny dome thing. I don't even *care* what it does, I need it. #Monsterdon
Man they oiled her up good for this shot. #Monsterdon
Speak faster, Tex, our cuts are on a schedule here. #Monsterdon
Huh, Trump Hotel in Space #Monsterdon
Chris like, no no, don't get up. #Monsterdon
C'mon Chris, keep it together. No corpsing, you're a professional. #Monsterdon
Nice bling Chris has there, Emperor's a pretty sweet gig. #Monsterdon
Whoa, lost control of my vertical hold there, sorry about that, I'm super tall now. Hold on, I can fix this... #Monsterdon
Caroline heard about acting once and she's really giving it a shot here. #Monsterdon
You think this role prepared Plummer to play a dragon monk in Skyrim? #Monsterdon
@CactuarJoe Eh, don't think too hard about it
