“This is what communism looks like in the 21st century,” wrote Tarczyński

Calling anything you don’t like “communism” is what selfish shittiness has looked like for a century.

“God?! God’s a radical left lunatic, so soft on crime, so soft. What did God do to stop Iran getting nukes? Nothing! Not like me.”

Software piracy

Ooh, originally released as a double feature with Invasion of the Star Creatures, one of #Monsterdon’s most derided features!

Apparently in the public domain from day one due to a flawed copyright notice, so it’s on all the streamers, including Internet Archive & Wikiflix (if y’all want to avoid ads & data surveillance).

Thank you, Stupendous Man! You’re my hero!

Stealing this! 😆

I’m gonna host another watch of Silver Bullet at a time that might suit people in Europe better, Sunday 10 May at 19.00 UTC / 21.00 Central Europe. If you’re interested, feel free to join us!

• Info: #ReMonsterdon

“third test” meaning test for so campily bad it’s good? (Just rewatched Starcrash in #MondayActionMovie , guessing that would score well.)

OT, I still need to see Laserblast. Because I forgot to download Silver Bullet in advance & my internet went weird right at #Monsterdon time, I’m gonna host another watch party earlier on Sunday 10th May. If folks are interested, I might make it a regular thing (choosing any previous Monsterdon film), and then I could start making a real dent in the Monsterdon back catalogue, including Laserblast.

DoesTheSeagalDisgust.com still available!

Hmmm…

Ideas for Seagal Test:

1. At least one scene in a strip club
2. Lead character uses wildly inappropriate appropriated dialect / accent (a.k.a. “the Aiight factor”)
3. “Attraction” between good-looking young woman & male lead many years/decades older than her

If a film passes all three requirements of the Seagal Test, that could be indicated by three vomit emojis 🤮🤮🤮 :)

PS Just thought of additional / bonus points:

• Action hero mostly stands still or even sits throughout the action
• Action hero wearing sunglasses at inappropriate moments (but please note The Jake & Elwood Blues Exception)

At least the seal is trying

Another 90s reference: the IAC board of directors includes one Chelsea Clinton.

Hard Boiled is incredible! Definitely watch it! (It was even re-released in the cinema this year.)

“It never goes away,” Dingler said. “It’s distracting.”

If it doesn’t go away after 4 hours, consult your physician.

Just a few inches of tail sticking out from under a sheet yet so portentous…

Of course! I should have realized he was up to something

You’d think Calvin would love to eat them if that’s how he thinks of them.

No, it’s Amazon MGM.

(I think even though SG-1 started off being shown on Showtime in the 90s, which IIRC was part of CBS/Paramount, the show was still an MGM production.)
