In a bit under ten minutes we're kicking off #monsterdon. This week we're watching Krull (1983), which is 121 minutes long; you'll want to set a timed mute for that hashtag for about 15 minutes longer than the film duration to dodge the majority of the chatter. Or you can grab a copy of the movie or pick a stream and join in the fun! (If you do, please make sure to use the hashtag so people can more easily filter out your own posts.)
Looks like cheesy 80s sci-fi/fantasy crossover!!
#monsterdon MONSTER ZAP! Not sure what that bright blue light was, exactly, but I'm sure it has something to do with The Beast™ attacking and interrupting the royal marriage.
Oh hey, those ominous soldiers clad in glossy black pointy armour can also just scale castle walls as if weightless? Uhhh and when stabbed they break apart like garthim from The Dark Crystal? OK, sure, got it.
#monsterdon This protracted mountain climbing sequence could have been a swift montage.
*mountaineering boy-king's internal monologue* The hiiiiiills are aliiiiive / with the sound of muuuuusic
ALTERNATE CUT:
Lissa needs braces! / Dental plan / Lissa needs braces! / Dental plan / ...
#monsterdon boy king: *holds up the glaive, as if to throw it at... nothing? Like, off the edge of the mountain?*
old man: Do not use it until you need it!
We need to have a talk about the value of practice and the virtues of muscle memory.
#monsterdon "You heard the man, we're a army now!"
_muttering_ "An unpaid army."
"Have you got a problem?"
"What, can't a man even talk to himself without being interrupted now?"
Heh, legitimately funny
#monsterdon "You cannot overcome the power of the beast..?"
"Not in this place, no."
"Then where?"
"The emerald tower."
One short day / In the emerald city..!
#monsterdon "He gave his life for us."
"He... was my only family."
"We're your family now!"
ooooooof, it's not called an emotional beat because it's supposed to feel like being hit with a stick
#monsterdon Oh for pete's sake, are we about to have a giant spider scene? I could really do without one of those, please and thank you. (Nev don't read this toot.)
edit; YEP THOSE SURE ARE SOME STOP MOTION PEDIPALPS. Right then, I'll just be behind the couch for a little while, see you all again soon.
