@brooke The frequency at which PhD's have to say "not that type of doctor" is surprisingly high...

#Monsterdon

Oh hat. I thought he was going to buy HALF of Texas.

Grandpa's chicken is my favorite character so far #monsterdon

#monsterdon Is that turtle ok?

OK what is it with this kid and Texas

#Monsterdon

A boy and his secret alien slug from the mysterious rocket. For sale to the old zoologist, cheap! #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

And your grandson will be a masculine son!

#monsterdon

Oh, the kid's MERCENARY, not Gamera-raising, I can respect that. #Monsterdon

Mmmmm - inedible clams!

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

@yatsu Ounces and tons work that way so why not, let's just blindly assume all units are as malleable 😛

#Monsterdon

A doctor of people with hurts. I guess that's how he's asking if she's a real doctor or some fucking PhD in bronze age textiles or something. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

it's a literally-a a Mario! #Monsterdon

@randy_s _drop and run_ xD

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon The moustache and hat. He's Mario, right?

Boy that kid is a hella bargainer. #Monsterdon

Space mortadella #monsterdon

Uh oh. Opened up their space aspic. There's probably like, olives and pickles in there or something. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"A little child shall lead them"

is this a bingo square?

#Monsterdon

... or just open it right away. Yep. Weird slimy slug? Take *that* home instead! #monsterdon

Nice fleshlight, kid #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

I will name this sea larvae George. I will love him, and hug him ...

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

SPACE PICKLE #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Do NOT eat the worm! That was not tequila, kid!

Oh ick. That's one *gooey* egg :/ #Monsterdon

Oh yeah. That's some ✅ emphatic gesturing. Quality gesturing.

#Monsterdon

a small kilometer. as opposed to a big kilometer? i mean, i am an american, but i don't think that's how kilometers work, right? (^^) #monsterdon

@yatsu oooh can we get some giant Sicilians

If not I will settle for their giant pizza

#Monsterdon

Seniooooooorrrrrr... crappé. I see.

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Turns out, the monster this whole time was... the doctor with a house on wheels.

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

Sealed cylinder with 'USAF PROJECT' stencilled on it? A splendid and perfectly safe find - better take it home, I imagine! #monsterdon

Aw hell, Pepe's gonna try to Gamera this bitch, kid that's a *serious gamble* in a film like this :/ #Monsterdon

Ah, Pepe, always finding the, eh, howyousay, drowning-a victims #monsterdon

ok the presence of not-comically accented italians indicates that this is in fact a sicilian stereotype thing #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gestures. Mark in on the bingo card

@Zerofactorial there was an alien? I think? #monsterdon

Kid finds the biggest pneumatic tube ever!

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Kid, didn't your father ever tell you not to handle sample containers? #Monsterdon

@aburka Was there a monster already? #monsterdon

"The ship of the air..."

They haven't heard of rockets in Sicily?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, #Monsterdoners: we are 12 minutes in - and NO COFFEE! I'm not sure what to make of this.

@Zerofactorial plus, wrong movie! #monsterdon

So that tiny fishing village is on that giant map of the world? #Monsterdon

Usually we get paid for the fish we catch

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

20000 leagues under the sea doesn't refer to depth you beribboned doof, it's the distance travelled by Captain Nemo #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Map of the world with tiny fishing villages. Nice.

The Doctor? UNIT has Americans?

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Lol, your giant earth map clearly has absolutely nothing marked where you pointed out the clearly labeled "tiny fishing village named Jerra". #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

yabettertellemtorolluptheenunciationtapeandputitinadrawer #monsterdon

I like how the general needed someone to point out where Sicily is on the map. #monsterdon

#monsterdon 20k leagues under the sea? Wrong Film there Admiral Macbook Pro

Okay, so the Sicilians didn’t know about Texas to establish why they also wouldn’t know about America’s giant interplanetary rocket.

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"there it is right there."
but sir, that map is so small and the ship is so big?
#monsterdon

That is a really odd choice of map projection isn't it?

#Monsterdon

@Configures That's too realistic, movie logic dictates anything realistic doesn't happen

#Monsterdon

"...you're saying they're sleeping with the fishes?"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Nice shots of the craft. I like the aesthetic. Very impressive for 1957.

#Monsterdon

@trixter And what about all the grenades and rocket launchers!? #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

20000 leagues under the sea #monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@Configures
We wish

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

The ship sleeps with the fishes. #Monsterdon

Wow, these guys need to go back to telemetry school

#monsterdon

At the center of our solar system is a large fire bell... #Monsterdon

"Best we can figure, she crashed somewhere right here..." he said, waving vaguely in the general direction of the map. Presumably this means the ship did in fact crash on Earth somewhere?

#Monsterdon

Man, MacIntosh is downright elfin. Look at those ears! #Monsterdon

Rocket ship that big sinking underwater right by the fishing boat would have created a vortex that sucked the fishing boat down too, right? #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

The pentagon has the neatest toys #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Sir, stop playing with your toys.

Why is there an old timey fire alarm bell #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

"She's splashed in right here." That's what she said! #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@Taweret Very different style from that other Italian #monsterdon film with the high fashion and bubbling lava. Must be the difference between Sicily and Milan

one of the side effects of hiring actors of a nation to play characters from another nation that speaks a totally different language is awful and hilarious fake accents

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

we're italian over here. so we're catholic.mamma mia. hey, fuggetaboutit

#monsterdon

There had to be more than two men in there! There must have at least been a woman to serve them coffee! #Monsterdon

Ah yes, A.D. MacIntosh, I bet he's mealy and tasteless too. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon My science fair project is going to win first prize!

Hey, guys, I'm really going to try to do this #monsterdon Bingo tonight, so if you guys could just reduce your tootstream by half...

#20MillionMilesToEarth

There it goes! He got out in the nick of time! #Monsterdon

"I Crashed in a helmet saying USAF, in an actual rocket doing air forcey thing"

1950s VA: "your disability is not service related"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Now it sinks?! Now? What was holding it up before?

Hey that long shot's actually not a bad processed shot, good job guys #Monsterdon

@jonny ahhh yes thanks I am noticing the audio issues myself

Downloading the good version now so I can swap

#Monsterdon

@socketwench load-bearing corpses, very important in spaceflight

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth #nonatheninth

careful kid, you're about to beat that poor a-man upside the head with the oar. #monsterdon

Starship animation by Terry Gilliam. #Monsterdon

hey, we're italian over here. we pulla the people from the spaceship. fuggetaboutit

#monsterdon

Why's the kid gotta do all the rowing?

#monsterdon

row! row! row your boat! #monsterdon

Ship's collapsing like they just beat Ridley. Better get out before the timer ends. #Monsterdon

@diazona that one just had really bitcrushed audio and slightly blurry transcode artifacts, but it's better than the third one which is squashed to 4:3 #monsterdon

"...where we're going, you won't need helmets"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Where do they put the fish in those tiny boats? #Monsterdon

Once again, the sci fi spaceship set is just the interior of a power plant. Sigh. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

I lost my pilot!! I lost my ship!! Johnny has his pilot! Johnny has his ship! you want I should take my heartbreak, put it away and forget???
#monsterdon

well, let's face it, Americans are about as odd as aliens, especially in Europe. #monsterdon

@apLundell nah they're quite rationally staying out of range of the nitrogen tetroxide fumes https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a33498696/private-boats-invade-spacex-splashdown-zone-risks/ #monsterdon

Now they're getting somewhere, they've made it to the boiler room of the spaceship #monsterdon

@moira Maybe we reverse-engineered rivets and telephones from an earlier crashed spaceship

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait, they're human?

oh wait not even joking okay n/m

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Oh jeez, it's the inside of the spaceship from The Creeping Terror D: #Monsterdon
