it gets bigger because of air. yes, that is science

#monsterdon

@apLundell
That's a Bingo item!!!

#monsterdon

Aw, poor baby :/ I'm gonna cheer when this thing breaks out. #Monsterdon

If I was the press corps choosing three reporters to see the monster, I'd probably have chosen a photographer. #monsterdon

Chekhov's elephant #monsterdon

He’s really into desk lounging while phoning it in. #Monsterdon

I am so sad for Italian Space Godzilla they didn't deserve such treatment! :blobcry: #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 so you're telling me this is a steam powered monster #monsterdon

What's up with the reporter doing the Sexy Love Pose on the desk? #Monsterdon

Oh so it eats AIR

#Monsterdon

I like the reporter lady's glasses #monsterdon

@MCDuncanLab And we just got a trunk!

#monsterdon

@jonny Water based anything could be difficult for a creature evolved on the surface of Venus, where surface temps exceed 800F. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

This is very serious matter. Now who has their permission slips to go to the Zoo!!!
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe raised my eyebrows too but it's in the dictionary :ShipIt: #monsterdon

@lorgonumputz It almost felt wrong that what they said was true

#Monsterdon

I've probably missed some things, but here's where I'm at. ✏️

#Monsterdon

Why didn’t the Americans tell anyone they were going to Venus? We went to the moon and we still won’t shut about it. #Monsterdon

#MONSTERDON MOVIE FLASH POLL

There is a fountain soon visible in the movie. You may have seen it before, but where?

It's all happening at the zoo!

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

Did anybody put out this fire? #Monsterdon

cat-eye glasses!!! #monsterdon

"The planet Venus?"

No, the rubberized razor Venus. What do YOU think, genius? :/ #Monsterdon

"The planet Venus?" No, the kumquat Venus. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

There is a disturbing lack of reaction among the reporters to "hey we secretly went to Venus and captured an alien"

#Monsterdon

"the planet venus?"

yeah baby she's got it

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

CableGram, the TikTok of the 1950s.

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

it's not really clear why the electricity would choose the path through the dry reptilian skin (we're not even sure that the venusian creature is water-based at all) rather than go directly to ground but whatever #monsterdon

What tf kind of pose was that, mister reporter man? #Monsterdon

facts exactly as they are from the secretary of defence wow this is science fiction

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

...Cablegram? #Monsterdon

My partner says, "That mustache paired with that Mohawk is quite a look. That's a very gay-coded alien." #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe The 'stache on him makes me think he'd be into country music too #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Bazooka Time!

@paco don't knock it, it worked #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe i feel like mason would just leave him on read this one time. #monsterdon

Let me see how slowly I can possibly swing that small sledge hammer. To avoid injuring the other extras.

#Monsterdon

I'm kind of late to #monsterdon, but stop motion really holds up over time....Mostly.

Sulfur and burning lizard monkey - more carnival smells. #Monsterdon

You just electrocuted a defenseless alien, what are you going to do now???
*pulls out cigarette*
#monsterdon

uh so the monster is dead but there's 25m left in the movie...? #monsterdon

well everything wrapped up neatly i guess

#monsterdon

I would probably vibrate the same way if you shocked me. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@CactuarJoe yup that checks out 🤦

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon You can tell it's Rome because there's random columns and busts.

that was a pretty good shot with the tiny-ass net #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Absolutely shocking.

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Does that count as lightning, for #monsterdon bingo purposes?

wow these guys are _complete_ assholes

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Shocking. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

So, just for the record, the monster can rip through iron cage bars like butter, but a net stops it cold. #Monsterdon

I don't suppose it's occurred to any of these assholes that feeding Space Baby its natural food might, oh, I dunno, MAKE IT GROW FASTER? Just a thought... #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Every Single Scene of a cop sampling cocaine in a procedural was based on this guy checking out the sulphur care package

this is exactly how my partner gets me to go to the dentist #monsterdon

"Where are we going to find good footage of soldiers piling out of Sikorski S55s? Oh, wait. Never mind." #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth #stockFootage #korea

@lysdexic All of the 50's I assume

#Monsterdon

Loving the keiju!
#monsterdon

His eating is so dignified. #Monsterdon

Nooooooooo poor baby monster

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- no bazookas? I'm Pissed.

Sulfur, hell. That's 10kilos of pure Columbian. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

The tragedy is that Dr. Charmin isn't here to give his advice. You know he'd love doing that #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Just eating the salt straight? Yeah, that's an American monster for sure.

I'm sure they don't eat sulfur raw like that at home. They should have baked it into a cake

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

Mmm sulfur. #monsterdon

Feed it. Feed the giant lizard monkey. Genius. #Monsterdon

Y'know, I think this may be the chillest Kaiju on record. Give him a little snack and he's totally cool. #Monsterdon

oh right, 1957, they still have all the stock footage they need. #monsterdon

STOCK FOOTAGE! WE HAVE STOCK FOOTAGE! #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Who wears a business suit to a monster hunt? #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

Yeah, Italy looks suspiciously similar to southern California. How exactly did they finagle an Italian vacation out of this?

#Monsterdon

mm, cronchy snack! #monsterdon

so he's gonna get big enough to just walk home? that'd be good. for him.

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon -- real helicopters too... Not miniatures like they use today.

It's bazooka time!

#monsterdon

"...I'm dropping the sulfur now"
"huh, that's what grandpa used to call it too"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

that is a kung pow level tiny net #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe lacks the bubble cockpit ^_^

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

He's right by the sulfur beds, so we should drop more sulfur. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

I'm not singing the MASH theme, but I am thinking it real hard. #Monsterdon

black and white is doing this footage a lot of favours I gotta say

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

The 1950s chopper's giving me M*A*S*H vibes #monsterdon

@SRLevine @Lazarou Helicopter, tweezers, kind of all the same in the grand scheme of things

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It was the Nazis. The Nazis did. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

This just in: Uncontrolled wildfires now consuming Italy. Cause Unknown. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

A *flamethrower*? Flip's sake. Poor monster. #monsterdon

Gunfire, which we already established does not work, bu- JESUS CHRIST a FLAMETHROWER!? Who gave the Italians a FLAMETHROWER!? #Monsterdon

[Holy Ghost wakes up] HEY I WAS NAPPING HERE

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@Lazarou Hey, scientists pick up lots of random skills.

Admittedly mine are more along the lines of "capable of finding really small things on the lab floor and picking them up with tweezers", but still!

#Monsterdon

Forked tenis. #Monsterdon

Leave the poor guy alone. He's just trying to enjoy the lush Italian countryside. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Look at that tail go! #Monsterdon

@sean "Well, electricity is Stanley's kink, and you know, he was flirting..."
#monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@jonny @maddiefuzz I'll take that action as well

#Monsterdon

Does that notebook count as Scientist Consuted? #Monsterdon

I'm rather disappointed that the monster hasn't killed any of these people yet.

I mean, he's just trying to survive, I get it, but these characters kind of suck and I didn't show up to not see them get picked off.

#Monsterdon

@maddiefuzz looking forward to seeing the next mention of the romantic subplot being in the final 2 minutes either immediately before or immediately after the fucking off into the sea event #monsterdon

"Bark! Bark! Justice for Carlo! Vengeance! Bark!" #Monsterdon

Those German Shepherds are having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES! #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"...we accidentally found out that electrical shocks..."
"accidentally?"
"it was Stanley's idea"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth
