On December 5, Kevin was joined by @FyodorFish, @StellarReviews, @mychaleg, @Regi_S, @Siblings_at_Law and @carcarr819 to live-tweet the 80s camp-fest Flash Gordon, discovering the savior of the universe. Here’s a log, complete with time-code for your home-viewing pleasure. (Please note there were some time-code issues during this live-tweet, so forgive certain things being a little out of order.)

     

mychaleg: @kevincarr i’ll just repeatedly hit a low A on my piano keyboard, like the beginning of the theme song until #flashgordontweet kicks off

mychaleg: http://twitpic.com/scq5l – what ya’ll know about that? #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 00:30 – Why are there no clouds whatsoever on Planet Earth?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:17 he likes to play before killing everything.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 00.35 Who knew “Earth” had so many syllables? I sure as heck didn’t.

mychaleg: oh shit, time to get hype #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 01:20 – Flash! Ah-hah! Savior of the Universe!

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 00.39 And Earth has no clouds. Dino, you cheap bastard.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 01:42 So that’s where DC and Marvel got t/idea to use actual comic book panels.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:51 the music is making me wanna watch Rocky Horror. Just sayin.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 01:55 – Did Queen just declare Flash to be “a miracle” and “king of the impossible”? They’re setting the bar kinda high.

mychaleg: fun fact: Brian May wrote the lyrics and music for the theme song #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 02:55 – Lyrics: “Flash! He’ll save every one of us.” Erm… is that a spoiler, Queen?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 4:17 Hot Hail? Sweet! Can I get some of that!?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 03:40 – What exactly is “hot hail”? Sounds like a failed rapper’s name.

mychaleg: “HOT HAIL” would be a good band name #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 5:29 the shag van rocks.

kevincarr: @mychaleg Excellent new avatar! #flashgordontweet

carcarr819: My boys getting ready to watch and live tweet Flash Gordon. #flashgordontweet http://twitpic.com/sctzt

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 6:10 Hot Hail = Lava rocks?!

mychaleg: damn, Flash has a cooler t-shirt than mine #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 03:05 I have to admit: I really, really dig the title song. Could sing it to myself for days.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 05:50 – I’m actually pretty surprised that the FAA let the plane take off in a hot hail storm.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 03:52 So there’s a “hot hail” button on t/weather/natural disaster manchine too? Apparently so.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 7:10 you share. 4 seat plane with a stranger? Lol

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 04:46 That, ladies and gents, was Robbie Coltrane essaying airport mechanic no. 1.

mychaleg: Flash you handsome, suave bastard #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 07:25 – This is all just an elaborate hoax to get Flash laid.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 05:42 “Nothing serious…just some clear air turbulence” (said moments b/f being sucked out of t/plane).

mychaleg: 08:30 are those touch screen OLEDS? Zarkoff got some sweet tech! take that Tony Stark #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 09:15 – “Our moon is being subjected by some enormous force from outer space.” You mean like Rosie O’Donnell?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 10:42 that’s awesome he ran away with a gun pointed at him!

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 06:21 True fact: actor playing Flash: not a blonde. Actor playing Dale: really a blonde.

Regi_S: Not only am I the Jets QB but I’m also a pilot #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 11:57 start hitting buttons when in doubt. Works all the time!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 10:30 – I am totally getting a cool t-shirt that says “KEVIN” in a wicked-awesome font.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 07:50 “Check t/angular vector of t/moon.” Say what?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 11:20 – Both Flash and Dale look constipated. That’s real acting for ya.

mychaleg: your flying lessons didn’t get as far as landing? what are you, some kinda terrorist #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 11:55 – And John Denver makes another perfect landing.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 08:30 Moon out of orbit and no one else has noticed? NASA? Soviets? Chinese? Anyone w/a telescope?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 12:46 he ran away again with a gun pointed at him then came back to tell him to be careful lol

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 12:10 – “let’s get out of here before she blows.” I like to wait until *after* she blows, personally.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 07:50 “Check t/angular vector of t/moon.” Say what? (via @FyodorFish) lol

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 09:20 Wow, he built a rocketship inside his greenhouse. Now exactly practical that Zarkov, is he?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 10:14 Bad time for t/pilots to go on break.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 14:40 the moon would make it to earth to kill us? Ok.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 10:50 Wow, was that a stock sound cue? Indeed, it was.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 15:45 why does he still have the gun?

mychaleg: 14:32 o no you hit the fireworks button #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 14:15 – It’s generally bad form to shoot a gun in a rocket.

Regi_S: #flashgordontweet seems like there would have been a safety over the ignition switch so a head butt wouldn’t launch you

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 16:36 why is having difficulty moving/talking but the woman looked unconcerned and bored?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 11:30 Ironclad story logic: Flash a+ Dale crashing into Zarkov’s greenhouse.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 15:30 – More constipated acting.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 16:30 – Let’s head for that giant anus in space.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 18:00 those are some sweet glasses.

mychaleg: 16:30 she’s hot? in space? #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 16:50 – I wonder if they’re going to meet Starbuck in that big swirling vortexx.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet PS – are they in a lava lamp?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 17:45 – They’re landing in the Land of Dairy Queen.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 14:00 Just got a BLACK HOLE vibe from that greenhouse shot. Okay, mind wandering. Focus, focus.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 19:40 yes you’re back home.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 18:30 – They’re being detained by a troop of Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 19:55 hahaha that was an awesome from flip. Or whatever you wanna fall it.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 19:10 – Man, Dale’s a bit of a cling-whore. She’ll cling to anyone near her.

mychaleg: 19:30 we’re about to see the best Destro mask EVER #flashgordontweet

Regi_S: #flashgordontweet 18:19 was Flash just coping a feel on Dale

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 21:08 I love that aliens all speak English!

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 16:00 So there’s a black hole right outside earth orbit? But it’s made out of paint dyes?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 20:05 – There’s a reason they didn’t linger too long on that lizard man.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 20:35 – Zapped Zarkov’s gun. That looks like it stung a tad.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 21:00 – Was that Doctor Doom?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 17:25 One of Fellini’s collaborators, Danilo Donati, handled t/art design, production design + costumes.

mychaleg: 20:58 BOOM! my man shows up #flashgordontweet

mychaleg: 22:00 damn that is the biggest piece of rock candy i’ve ever seen #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 22:40 – “No one dies in the palace without a command from the Emperor!” What if someone has a stroke?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 19:00 Getting a DUNE vibe. Not surprising. Dino De Laurentiis produced both flicks.

mychaleg: 23:05 don’t worry hawkman, your daughter never shows up in the movie again #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 25:20 die for no reason and prove you are loyal.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 20:00 Yes, t/Hawk Men, led by t/eyeline wearing, bearded Vulcan, have arrived.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 24:10 – These kingdoms and tribes of Mongol may be at war, but they look faaaaabulous doing it.

mychaleg: 24:45 of course, black man gotta die. typical #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 20:50 Ming’s costume weighed 360 pounds (slight exaggeration).

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 25:00 – “This Ming’s a psycho.” Erm… brilliant dialogue, Flash!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 25:20 – Princess Aura and Dale are the 2 big (or rather 4 big) reasons to see this movie.

Regi_S: #flashgordontweet 25:45 Don’t remember you at all when Princess Aura is in the room

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 25:40 – Princess Aura has an oompah-loompah. I want an oompah-loopah too!

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 28:08 how exactly, do you hide a planet?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 22:00 So do you think FLASH GORDON helped or hurt Timothy Dalton’s career?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 26:55 – No one can resist Emperor Ming’s Cracker Jack ring!

mychaleg: “hurling your bodies out into void, without the slighest inkling of who or what is out there.” 1st line i ever memorized #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 17:30 – Apparently Dale likes big butts, and she cannot lie.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 28:48 All of the universe’s abilities go into a ring to control women. LOL

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 28:05 – “Prepare her for our pleasure.” That’s the first line *I* ever memorized.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 23:45 Mongo-lites bleed blue blood it seems.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 30:39 they have a ring that controls women but no weapons?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 28:45 – Ugh. Football. Ugh. I can now fight. Ugh.

Regi_S: #flashgordontweet Shouldn’t there be a pile of bodies in front of Vultan

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 31:50 human bowling, who wants to try it?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 24:30 Yeah, t/pet human’s name was named Fellini (who turned down directing FLASH GORDON).

mychaleg: 30:00 i LOVE this riff #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 29:55 – That Melody Anderson “Go Flash Go” shot totally confused me as a child when I saw this in the theaters.

carcarr819: #flashgordontweet 28:59 And you thought being t he football star wouldn’t come in handy in “real life”. Who knew you’d need a watermelon?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 30:40 – FYI… Princess Aura’s oompah-loompah is played by future oompah-loompah Deep Roy.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 33:25 hahaha they kiss and then he calls her a lying b*tch, still embraced.

mychaleg: 31:20 hey…I’M on Ming-o Mean Time #flashgordontweet

mychaleg: you lying bitch #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 25:42 Just noticed Flash and Dale are color coordinated (reds and whites). Must say Ming is one kinky dictator.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 32:05 – Flash is decked out in his HOSTEL helmet.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet @carcarr819 just snorted at the sight of the lizard people. I can’t say I disagree with her.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 30:40 – FYI… Princess Aura’s oompah-loompah is played by future oompah-loompah Deep Roy. (via @kevincarr) was gonna say

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 33:35 – those lizard people kinda look like they have vaginas for faces. yeah, I said it.

mychaleg: 33:41 the old man in the background was later in extra in a Metallica video #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 28:00 Wow, who knew Flash’s football skills would be this handy? “Go, Flash, Go” will be my new motto.

StellarReviews: 36:20 yes waste time trying to turn over sand goin upward.#flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 35:00 – Meh… I liked Aura’s earlier costume better.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 35:40 – This scene could be spliced right into ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, and few would even notice.

mychaleg: so many Halloween costume ideas going down in this movie #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 36:25 – Ew… Flash has Angelina Jolie-style veins on his arms.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 30:00 Mingo Mean Time: ha. Damn, Barin’s one cold, cruel, jealous bastard.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 37:00 – And Flash is poinsoned… The end.

mychaleg: 36:50 die to these relaxing guitar licks #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 39:42 Earthling tombstones.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 37:50 – Was Scooby Doo the sound designer on this movie?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 31:25 “Bring in the emperor’s concubine.” I like t/ring of that.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 41:18 why is there a mirror in casket?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 41:18 why is there a mirror in casket?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 38:55 – Wow. That’s a whole lotta Flash for such a tiny screen.

mychaleg: 38:30 they put a MIRROR in the casket. if it was lit and he was being buried alive, that would be GANGSTA #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 32:30 Touching, pre-execution scene. By “touching” I mean not at all.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 39:40 – Zarkov is apparently the prisoner of Mr. Goldfinger.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 40:20 – No, Dr. Zarkov… I want you to… die!

mychaleg: 40:30 so this is where Micheal Stipe got the idea to wear so much eyeliner #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 34:00 So on Mongo, you’re forced to wear leather short-shorts for your execution? Talk about embarrassing.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 43:28 they are gonna empty his mind AND his pockets? Why the pockets?

mychaleg: 41:40 this sequence should be part of classic film canon. i think it’s one of the best in cinematic history #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 35:45 W/t hero dead, guess FLASH GORDON’s ending early or will need to be retitled, stat.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 42:20 – Why does Zarkov have memories of Hitler in black and white?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 45:02 acting out sex scenes from your memory? … Ok.

mychaleg: “please don’t flash any memories of me jerkin off” #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 37:00 So Flash is Sleeping Beauty? And Aura? Not sure what’s her deal. She looks good in red, though.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 44:10 – There’s something totally erotic about Aura teaching Flash how to fly. I want a flying lesson from her too!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 44:35 – That’s really not much of a planet.

mychaleg: 44:30 whoa…they were in the Avatar trailer for a second #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 47:33 he’s gonna show her what gang… I mean team up means.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 45:00 – Apparently this flying lesson includes a lap dance.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 38:55 Wow, Ming, way to go heavy on t/eye-liner. Didn’t get enough sleep last night?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 46:10 – Wow. Dale really likes her green erotic booze.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 48:58 you need a machine for telepathy?

mychaleg: 46:16 i never noticed how ballah Flash’s jacket is #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 50:09 is this where that annoying “touch my temple to think” came from?

mychaleg: 47:25 i have to touch my fingers to head to think #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 47:50 – Flash is neglecting to mention the Princess Aura tongue bath.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 41:00 Wow, that mega-mind wipe machine takes you all t/way back to your birth? Who remembers that?

mychaleg: got these ladies drinkin out a broken glass #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 50:00 – They have flaps on rocket ships?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 43:20 “Secret pleasure moon”? I’m all for it, but Flash, he’s loyal to Dale, who he met hours earlier.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 50:20 – Ming is ready to get his freak on.

mychaleg: 50:20 Ming took him a liberal dose of Ming-agra #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 54:10 I’m so glad fight scenes are better these days. Especially with women!

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 44:00 “It’ll make you not mind remembering.” Damn, so Ming’s a lousy lover then.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 51:45 – Little known fact: There was a gold paint shortage in 1980 after this set was manufactured.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 43:20 “Secret pleasure moon”? I’m all for it, but Flash, he’s loyal to Dale, who he met hours earlier. (via @FyodorFish)HA

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 45:00-46:00 Telepathy conversation = pure hilarity. “We have to stop thinking to each other.”

mychaleg: 52:37 activating Zarkoff looking more like just calling him #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 53:30 – Dale is pretty much rock stupid. Does she not notice Zarkov wearing Ming’s threads?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 57:01 initiated by other men?! That’s what it sounds like.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 57:48 she loves them. Sounded like she would.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 47:30 Has a big-budget movie ever had visual effects as poor as FLASH GORDON? I think not.

mychaleg: Arboria is the most latently homosexual bromantic planet i’ve ever seen #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 54:20 – Meanwhile at the Ewok village!

Regi_S: #flashgordontweet 56:00 He went and stuck it in the wrong hole

carcarr819: #flashgordontweet Looks like they’re all wearing Peter Pan costumes? Coincidence? i think not.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 59:10 spare me the madness of the the green.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 56:10 – There’s Richard O’Brien,people.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 49:30 Digging Dale as an action heroine. And hey, slave girl costume. Lucas had to get t/idea somewhere, right?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 57:00 – It’s a good thing Aura’s such a slut, or Flash would have never survived.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet he knew she was in to necrophelia?! Gross.

mychaleg: 58:00 it doesn’t look like he’s really enjoying that kiss. i’m telling ya – Arboria is mano a mano #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 59:00 – This scene is strangely reminscent of WATERWORLD

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 52:00 Sacred initiation ritual? Or circle jerk? Can’t tell which from t/sound of it. Oh right, “test of manhood”.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 59:30 – Whoa! How did we get to the whipping of Aura? I feel I missed something awesome here.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:03:18 she calls them perverted? Ha.

mychaleg: 1 hour mark pwnage! “bring me…the bore worms” #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:00:10 – No! Not the bore worms! Not happy Birthday! Anything but Happy Birthday!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:01:20 – Looks like Riff-Raff’s riff-raff was hanging on his left a bit.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 54:00-55:00 That was one gnarly ritual. Thanks, but no thanks. Wow, Barin can barely keep his jealousy in check.

mychaleg: 1:01:00 look sensually he takes that flute out of his mouth #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:02:15 – Are they going to save the sleestaks in the cage with Flash?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 57:00 Barin really, really doesn’t like Flash. Oh but hey, S&M scene w/Princess Aura and that female general.

mychaleg: 1:03:00 i always expect a greased up halk naked Sting to show up in this scene #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:08:26 he’s up… The creek?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 57:35 “No, not the bore worms!” Dig t/table restraints. They’re…hands..

mychaleg: 1:04:50 “where are the weapons?” “feel one,” as i jab a knife against your back, much like i would jab my…Arboria i say #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:06:00 – James Bond isn’t brave for putting his hand in the stump, but rather for pulling off that woven shirt.

mychaleg: 1:07:00 i’ve altered the rules. pray i don’t alter them any further #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:07:55 – Why is a NY Jets football player so good at hand-to-hand combat with swords?

mychaleg: 1:08:37 uh oh – hope there aren’t any ROUS’s in that swamp #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:01 Best flying scene since…since….since…I’ve got nothing.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:09:00 – I sure hope Flash’s fabulous blond hair doesn’t drown.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:12:50 what is it and why is it grunting?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:02 “Gordon’s alive!” Best line reading by a Hawk Man, ever.

mychaleg: 1:09:50 that creature was straight out of a Cronenberg flick #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:02:46 It’s wood beast time. “Beast lies somewhere in t/stump. Choose a passage.”

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:13:50 16…? What? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Ok 16 nap is long enough?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:11:30 – Did those Hawkmen just do a double-take to each other?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:15:25 woah woah what?! They’re kissing? For their kids? Engaged? Where was I???

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:12:20 -So Dale’s moving a bit fast for my tastes. She’s known Flash for about 21 hours.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:13:00 – I so want a gong in my house. Then I could have people come over and fight to the death.

mychaleg: Hawk Man has the DIRTIEST legs #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:06:20 Gloves on Barin: highly impractical (like everything else in FLASH GORDON).

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:07:00 Attack of t//Great Bladder Beast!

mychaleg: 1:15:00 the 14 hours to save the Earth line was ripped off by Anna Faris’s character in FAQ About Time Travel #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:16:30 – “What is this?” “Humanity!” “Madness!” Hear hear!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:16:40 – Did Flash and Barin just become BFFs? Just like in STEP BROTHERS.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:09:18 Cue Flash and Dale’s love theme. Sweet, isn’t it? “Save it for our kids.” Way to warm up her ovaries, Flash-O.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:20:57 she’d never find torture enjoyable.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:18:20 – They’re learning about teamwork… just like THE WONDER PETS.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:10:00 And t/gloves come off, literally, in a battle to t/death.

mychaleg: 1:18:30 NOOOOOO my favorite character #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:19:10 – I don’t think Brian Blessed can deliver any line without sounding like he’s got a mouthful of turkey and giblets

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:22:21 they’re gonna fly to… Another planet?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:20:00 – There’s a lot of talk about being blown to atoms, but I haven’t seen any of that yet.

mychaleg: 1:20:07 we just happened to have a perfectly placed spy camera trained on Zarkoff #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:10:00 “Give me the remote control.” 7th best line in FLASH GORDON.

mychaleg: 1:21:00 wtf is in your shirt, Ming #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 12:32 figures. I knew he wasn’t the pleasing type!

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:12:30 “What is this?” “Humanity.” “Madness!” Brian Blessed, best ham actor of his generation.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:25:37 when he said blast I thought he meant at once not several.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:23:25 – Quick, Flash! Get in the Fantasticar!

mychaleg: 1:23:15 you’re not a sci-fi hero until you’ve slid down a metal industrial shaft of some sort! #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:26:20 she loveD him. Not anymore? Oh right, it was only for a 86 minutes.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:15:15 Best.Death.Scene.Ever.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:27:27 oh now he want to help?!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:24:35 – I don’t think I’ve ever seen Brian Blessed in anything where he couldn’t use a shower.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet and what was that girl doing with her hand? Oh chick fight! Best fight so far! Nice.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:25:20 – Yay! Princess Aura is thrown into the lesbian slave pit. And pillow fight!

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:28:48 I would have said Bore Worms? Not the Bore worms!!!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:26:30 – “My father always drinks a power potion before he makes love.” Would that be Mongo Viagra?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:20:10 That model must have cost De Laurenntiis a whole $1.99.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:21:00 “Flying blind in a rocket cycle.” 8th best line in FLASH GORDON.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:30:35 – We just swerved into the sountrack to THE NEVER-ENDING STORY.

mychaleg: second wave: DIIIIVE #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:33:30 they are flying in a straight line? They have the advantage or could have you’d think. Juke even?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:31:50- Well, if you’re going to haev a massive space battle with Hawkmen and dudes in gold lamme pants, you should rock!

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:33:15 – I’ll bet that Brian Blessed rocked the hell out of parties in his day.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:24:00 “What do you mean Flash Gordon on a rocket cycle?”

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:36:00 I’m fine I was faking.

mychaleg: 1:33:30 Flash; sorry to be tardy to the party #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:33:45 – John Kerry Hawkman: “They just winged me.” Nice pun.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:27:10 Who knew t/word “dive” had so many syllables? Okay, right, I used that line already.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:37:00 – I’m pretty sure that if the moon is 3 minutes close to Earth, there’s already been some irreprible damage.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:39:18 their wedding music is played by electric guitar? LOL.

mychaleg: 1:30:50 good thing your alien number system is exactly like a human’s #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:37:35 – This is awesome. How did Ming manage to get Queen to play at his wedding?

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:41:17 rational transaction. Nice.

mychaleg: 1:39:00 Hawk Man has never had to grit his teeth for so long before #flashgordontweet

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:40:25 – Ouch. He’s going to feel that in th emorning.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:42:28 was that what a router looked like back then?

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:40:50 – Boring conversation, anyway.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:30:00 Too many Hawk Men died in that battle, too many.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:43:50 Empress of the hour? Haha.

kevincarr: #flashgordontweet 1:42:20 – “Do you promise to not blast her into space, until such time you grow weary of her?” I like dem wedding vows.

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet 1:47:25 oh wow. And the hawk get general for being a chicken?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:37:00 So General Kala is a long-lost cousin of the Wicked Witch of the East?

mychaleg: my parents had this soundtrack on cassette. wish i still had it now #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:40:00 I was really hoping for a Flash and Ming to go mano-a-mano. Still, dramatic justice, right?

mychaleg: gahdamn i love this movie #flashgordontweet

StellarReviews: #flashgordontweet that was… I don’t know. What did I just watch again?

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:42:00 Voltan seems genuinely happy to be named general of Barin’s armies. No, no sexual innuendo was meant.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet 1:43 Nice (and by nice I mean cheesy) touch: Hawk Men spelling “Flash” in t/sky.

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet And w/that, FLASH GORDON comes to an end. Deeply saddened sequels were never made.

kevincarr: Final thoughts on FLASH GORDON… Total 80s cheese but hella fun. I love it even more than when I first saw it. #flashgordontweet

FyodorFish: #flashgordontweet I think I fell in love w/FLASH GORDON all over again tonight. Well worth t/revisit.
