  finished watching The Guyver 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑 Some really impressive practical FX. "But what about plot, dialog, acting etc?" Yep, those sure were some impressive FX. Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon. #NeoDB

  finished watching The Beastmaster 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 As someone posted in the #MonsterMiru watch party after #Monsterdon, a Conan rip-off but a cut above every other Conan rip-off. #NeoDB

  finished watching Hawk the Slayer 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 Poor script, acting, directing, sound. Not even Palance's scenery-chewing could save it for me. Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon. #NeoDB

  I kept putting more & more info in the description section of the #Monsterdon watch party collection here on NeoDB / Eggplant.place, then cut a lot because it was getting super long. But maybe I went too far. So here's an article with all Monsterdon hashtags & links etc, and I'll just link to this article in the collection description. Hashtags #Monsterdon - general posting for/about the watch party before, during & after the event. #MonsterdonAlert - just for announcing...

  finished watching Wolfen 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 High quality in some ways, but it took an *awfully* long time before things got going. Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon #NeoDB

  finished watching The Swift Sword 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 I've dealt with some confusing plots in kung fu films, but way too often in this I found myself thinking "who the hell are these people and what the hell is going on???" Watched in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon #NeoDB

  finished watching Earth vs. the Spider 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 For what it is, it wasn't too bad! I watched it *before* the #Monsterdon watch party because of the World Cup match. #NeoDB

  finished watching Thunder of Gigantic Serpent 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 Take a Taiwanese monster film, splice in some pointless white guys, Australian flags & Tangerine Dream, & you've got Thunder of Gigantic Serpent! Watched in #MonsterMiru watch party after #Monsterdon on Mastodon. #NeoDB

  finished watching Roadgames For "Ozploitation", it was less exploitation, more a taut little thriller! Watched in #FridayThrillerClub watch party on Mastodon Trigger: https://forcesofgeek.com/psycho-killer-4k-uhd-digital-review/ #NeoDB

  finished watching In the Year 2889 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑 Dull, absurd but not the fun kind, and never even comes close to the year 1989, let alone 2889. Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon. #NeoDB

  finished watching Kung Fu Stuntmen 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Fascinating / horrifying look at Hong Kong action movie stunt folk especially from films in 1960-1980s, & the things they achieved / put up with / survived / occasionally didn't survive. #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon https://tubitv.com/es-mx/movies/100025738/kung-fu-stuntmen-never-say-no #NeoDB

  finished watching Seedpeople 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 Low quality clone of Invasion of the Body Snatchers set in 90s Denim Valley, brought to you by Charles Band & Full Moon Pictures. Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon. #NeoDB

  finished watching Waxwork II: Lost in Time 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 Riffs on multiple films & genres, veering from slapstick to homage. Gets bogged down for too long in mediaeval fantasy before picking up pace again. Somehow managed to get a ream of cameos ranging from Bruce Campbell to John Ireland. Closes with a hiphop theme, as was de rigeur for early 90s Hollywood, but this one's a banger from the L.A. Posse. Suck it, hataz! Watched in #MonsterMiru watch party after #Monsterdon on Mastodon. #NeoDB
