hahahah the internet archive version is just a yify rip. this is a good sign https://archive.org/details/the-adventures-of-buckaroo-banzai-across-the-8th-dimension-1984_202201 #neuroparty

we set the scene.... with a long scroll from starwars and and a soundtrack from a mid 80's education movie... #neuroparty

so we have the neuroanatomist and the neurosurgeon who just operates by vibes. i did not know that buckaroo bonzai was going to be riding the wild west of brain surgery #neuroparty

#BalaclavaGuy, good or evil? the music says good, but the briefcase says evil. #neuroparty

heat seeking missiles? we're expecting missiles!? i thought we were just doing brain surgery and riding rocket cars for fun #neuroparty

the rocket car can do brain surgery on the wall of rock and phase through it. everyone seems unphased by this #neuroparty

literally all of the practical effects, props, and costumes in this movie have been hot fire so far. how many things can you have sparking and exploding in a scene at once???? #neuroparty

this is the face of a guy who did in fact go through the hole #neuroparty

omfg the protagonists are DISCO TEENS, this is a #neuroparty #monsterdon crossover event, the timelines are merging

so many of the career ambitions of PIs to be totally incomprehensible, emotionally perplexing, and also secretly in the band of old guys make sense to me now #neuroparty

has anyone got a bead on this accent? french... german... we seem to have it all #NeuroParty

you can't just teleport through a mountain and emerge on the other side with the brain of a rock in hand and avoid war with the 8th dimension #BasicInterdimensionalPolitics #InexplicablyHawaiianAliens #NeuroParty

bro are you a cop or a scientist or what kind of guy shows up to a downed alien to get stoned out of a spinal column and vibe #NeuroParty

we had our first brush with a potential #BechdelTest pass with two women talking to one another for 3 seconds, but their only dialogue was to ask where the men were going so that's a hard miss. #NeuroParty

Orson Welles, the guy from the old wine commercials, shoutout to one of my favorite videos of all time https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Nvxwf1jxdaM #NeuroParty

these prosthetics are freaking excellent. especially the hands good gravy #NeuroParty

what are u doing?
i tapes a bubble wrap to my face for safety
no explanation
camera pans
everyone is wearing the bub le wrap
#NeuroParty

the president better ride this thing at supersonic speeds through a mountain #NeuroParty

every lab needs three or four motorcycle/dad rock logos to cycle through in each publication #NeuroParty

the electrical engineers who hooked up the president's bed rotation angle to the red lights and alarm system were the only ones who could make it through the government contracting process #NotMyJob #NeuroParty

i declare this one of the best props in any movie #NeuroParty

this freaking ROOM with all of its freaking GAUGES and they are all apparently hooked up to banzai's junk. #NeuroParty

giving me a lot of ideas for redesigning our lab space, going to incorporate a lot more unattended fires than i was before #NeuroParty

i still am not sure who the guy is who always looks drunk and is leaking fluid from his suit but he seems to be responsible for bemusedly observing the major developments in the plot with no dialogue #NeuroParty

#Unbothered #Moisturized #Happy #InMyLane #NeuroParty

wait please i was hoping for one more return of the dad band we can't be outroing yet #NeuroParty

so did we ever get exposition on why jeff goldblum was such an extravagantly legged cowboy guy or is being too fabulous for words just part of this world canon #NeuroParty

if i ever give a talk in person again I am using the walking around outro music as my walk up song #NeuroParty

ok MGM logo has rolled, video stopped, thanks for joining everyone. that was one hell of a movie that i understood very little of, but apparently invented like 10 basic idiomatic phrases that i assumed were timeless and originless. Let's find another outrageous b-movie for next time #NeuroParty
