<p>This is my root post for this week's <a href="/tags/monsterdon/" rel="tag">#Monsterdon</a> !</p><p>If you're unfamiliar, this is a sort of federated MST3k where we watch movies together and make lots of snarky comments about them. You can watch along! (see <a href="/tags/monsterdonalert/" rel="tag">#MonsterdonAlert</a> for details, it's always a movie that's streaming free somewhere). If you don't want to see a high volume of snark tonight you can mute me, mute this thread (three dots menu on this post -> "Mute Conversation"), or mute the hashtag (in the Mastodon web UI this is Preferences -> Filters -> 'Add new filter').</p>

I've watched the trailer, and all I can really tell is that this movie thinks that it is Very Scary, and it is probably Not That At All.</p>
<a href="/tags/monsterdon/" rel="tag">#Monsterdon</a> apparently noone is seeding the Laserblast torrents, must be quite horrible. I've reverted to archive.org to perhaps watch some of it...?<br>
<p>Root post for <a href="/tags/monsterdon/" rel="tag">#Monsterdon</a>: LASERBLAST!</p><p>(If you don't want to see me, and others, posting for two hours about kid from the 70s finding an alien laser, and, well, blasting, with it, mute the hashtag, this thread, or me)</p><p>The trailer for this movie seems to fit the title exactly: it mostly consists of Laser Blasts, plus a couple shots of E.T.-ripoff aliens[*] . However, I am suspicious: knowing the trailers for <a href="/tags/monsterdon/" rel="tag">#Monsterdon</a> -tier movies, I bet they put every single special effect that they could afford to film in the trailer, and the movie consists of 2 minutes of action and 83 minutes of characters I couldn't care less about saying things I don't want to hear.</p><p>So: go on this journey with me and let's find out together!</p><p>* Wait, this movie came out four years BEFORE E.T., which raises the fascinating possibility that Spielberg ripped of his alien design FROM THIS THING, HWAT?</p>
