aw, it's just the CIA! I wanted aliens!

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

crossing themselves when they find an alien corpse, I love it, I hope these paisanos are the whole movie
#monsterdon

mm, don't think he made it. #monsterdon

wondering how much these italian accents are bad by accident and how much they are bad because of the still-present racism against sicilians during this period #monsterdon

So when does a red-and-white-spotted venus flytrap with teeth come out of one of the pipes? #Monsterdon

Is that a phone on the wall, and why is it not upside down? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hex-nuts on the plate. Of course aliens use hex-nuts.

huh, the aliens use standard riveting techniques _and_ standard telephone handsets! Not so advanced after all are they

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

They're lucky they didn't crash off Malta

"what are we - children or men of the sea?" - said completely ignoring the child on the boat!

#20MillionMilesToEarth

#monsterdon -- Where's Wa-Luigi?

OK that animated rocket crash into the ocean was delightful fromage

"There could-a be-a peeeeople in-a dere!"

#Monsterdon

@clayknight I was a little thrown off by the sudden deceleration and pitching down without taking any apparent damage

#Monsterdon

is that kids ass hanging out of his pants? Is that the hole they're referring to? #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Working a lewd Italian joke about a hole, hold on...
#monsterdon

@Taweret yeah it's so BIG! #monsterdon

don't worry I'm sure it's just a weather balloon #monsterdon

don't row too hard larry, we only have three meters of swimming pool!

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"What are we, children? We are men of the sea, we go back and get radiation poisoning like adults!" #Monsterdon

Huh, for such a large object landing in the water on a ballistic trajectory, that sure didn't seem to displace a lot of water

#monsterdon

Rough landing, they should have let out the clutch #monsterdon

Ocean looks pretty shallow if that thing is stuck in the mud

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

"mama mia, that's-a big-a spaceship" #monsterdon

Yeah, stop going on and on about Texas, kid. We got a rocket coming in. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

ngl, the wreck in the ocean looks pretty good

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

that kid needs some geography lessons lol

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Ok I only missed the first 2 minutes this week. Sweet.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dark pants and wife-beater t-shirts - the uniform of the Italian fisherman!

Rather a gentle crash. #Monsterdon

"and were promptly eaten by a small dog due to a horrible miscalculation of scale." #monsterdon

when a thing from the sky hits the sea and you die, that's-a kaiju #monsterdon

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"...I'm gonna make 'em a rocket crash they can't refuse"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"Shuddap, my fellow folksy native types!" #Monsterdon

@blue It's how you can hear the asteroid explosions in Star Wars

#Monsterdon

molto bene, we catcha da feesh #monsterdon

it should be the fish's desire for the fishes to swim away. they'd be the lucky ones in this movie. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe And now you know why I made so many bagels today!

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"A fishing village in Sicily." Could we be a little less specific? #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#monsterdon We have NARRATOR sign!
"TWENTY.MILLION.MILES" yep, that's the title alright

"A FISHING VILLAGE IN ITALY" looked like the title of the movie #monsterdon

this movie was set in Sicily instead of Illinois because Ray Harryhausen wanted to go on vacation in Italy #Monsterdon

oh! oh! they did the thing! they said the name of the movie in the movie.

#monsterdon

Oh nice, a little Schneer. Just a schmear of Schneer. #Monsterdon

There's plenty of fish in the sea

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

Okay, everybody. It’s #Monsterdon time! If you aren’t one of us #Monsterdoners, and it gets too much (I typically post a lot), you might want to mute the hashtag. #FairWarning

I always appreciate it when they say the name of the movie - makes it easier to make sure that I'm not in the wrong theater

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Arthur Space". With a name like that he was MADE for this film.

I actually kinda like the font used in these opening credits? It strikes me as super art deco. #Monsterdon

Fuck yeah Harryhausen! We're in for a treat! #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@brooke well if you're gonna go all the way to space to film you're gonna want to do it on a clear day

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

ARTHUR SPACE holy crap, guy was DESTINED to be in this movie. #Monsterdon

“Great scientific advances” is an excellent phrase to start a movie. #monsterdon

No, child! Don't come to Texas! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Harryhousen SFX!

The Earth's very blurry today. Too much powder. #Monsterdon

Ah, space mist, that thing that exists #monsterdon

ah yes, the Prologue Narrator, my favorite character. #monsterdon
