Space godzilla rides horse. Buys cowboy hat. Befriends kid. This is the plot I want. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Someone off-screen chucking live chickens into view. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon How big is it? Man-sized? Immense? Variable based on background?

Chicken running into the barn like, "I'LL SAVE YO-oh shit nevermind" #Monsterdon

Sulfur snacks!

#Monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

Tiny space godzilla hungers for mutton. He's been growing and creating a negative mass budget you wouldn't believe. The bill's gotta get paid. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@moira Breath of the Wild taught me this. #Monsterdon

"Imma bounce but I have THINGS TO SAY first" #Monsterdon

I’ve seen enough of these movies to
worry that Almost Doctor will end up kissing the survivor instead of decking him.

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Where do I start, it all looks so good. Hoofed potatoes, wooly potatoes... This potato is LOUD #Monsterdon

They better hope the creature doesn't know Venusian Aikido!

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

travelling across sicily, scaring the livestock... horrifying #monsterdon

Don't worry too much about the horses, horses are scared by literally anything, including grass, leaves, birds, other horses, their own tails...

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Is that the normal rate of growth?

Relative to what?

These are clearly not scientists...🙄

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Monster is just wanting to see the locations where Clint Eastwood filmed his spaghetti westerns.

Hmmm I'm counting the shots of the livestock freaking out as "RUN AWAY!!!!' #Monsterdon

According to https://www.historicalstatistics.org/Currencyconverter.html a half million Italian lira was about $ 843 US in 1957. Not as impressive as they're trying to make it sound #monsterdon

Damn Pepe #monsterdon

"My patient has fully recovered. BUT MY PATIENCE HAS NOT. I'M GOING TO MURDER THAT SANCTIMONIOUS MOTHERFU-" #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Italian Space Godzilla is AWESOME bustin out then giving 'em a good talkin to before effing off into the countryside #Monsterdon

BOOOOORRRNNN FREEEEE, as free as the MOUNTAIIIIINS go go, radioactive space lizard!
Also, that med student should NOT have said "I'm a doctor ... almost a doctor."
#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Oh space baby. Not the livestock. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon It's okay. Let it go. Wandering around Sicily. Whaterver.

But it's claw was so strangely hot.

Aren't claws usually made of keratin or chitin? Those wouldn't be an elevated temperature, right?

#Monsterdon

"Thanks for your help"

Now fuck off, professor. #Monsterdon

Yeah, these fishermen are definitely the Italian equivalent of characters from an American movie talking like absolute backwoods bumpkins. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

where does it come from?
Venice. #monsterdon

The only data is in Dr. Charmin's absorbent notes. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

As day-for-night goes, this is pretty good, tbh #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

"Like something you've never seen before!?"

Nah, it looks like a gorilla lizard. NBD. #Monsterdon

Lizard monkey has a tenis. I’ll let you all think on this. #Monsterdon

Man, this is the last time I use Pluto. too many commercials #Monsterdon

The bit with the container/egg is now giving me vaguely Goiana vibes #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon I drive a LOT -- no one knows their canvas is loose. No one.

Almost a doctor’s accent comes and goes, doesn’t it? #Monsterdon

oh he mad

he _very_ mad

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Oh good job Mini-Godzilla :D #Monsterdon

Lmao #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

okay, points to monster. (^^) #monsterdon

Space baby's been eating his Wheaties. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#monsterdon "Have to see a man about a horse" This guy's gonna take a dump right there on the beach?

prediction: the US govt guys take the first kaiju attack as an excuse to bump off Pepe so they don't have the pay him #monsterdon

@moira This just makes me think "Hammond of Texas"

#Monsterdon

So, are we supposed to understand that nobody in Sicily knows what a trailer is? Or are we supposed to understand that they just didn't know the English word? #monsterdon

"the house that follows like a goat!"

[confused silence from cast, as well as audience, as the cast speaks for us all]

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

lol, that one screams well

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow word for it? Clearly they don't even have trailers in Italy. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

"...follow that house goat!"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Wow, they actually paid the kid. That's unexpected. #Monsterdon

are we sending the dude with the broken arm to go find the alien? #monsterdon

Really? They don't have the word "trailer" in Italy? #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Kid, they're not buying you a horse. You'll be lucky if they don't quietly disappear you. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

#Monsterdon is this a chase?

#Monsterdon The Commisario looks *exactly* like my Grandfather (He was vaguely Scottish.)

if my calculations are correct 500,000 ITL in 1957 equates to $8,900 in 2024 USD #monsterdon

Seriously this kid is *obsessed* with Texas

#Monsterdon

half million lira? That's a whole five bux. #Monsterdon

@starkraving666 "That guy is hairy as fuck."
Me: "He's italian. That's how you can tell."

#monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@trixter Possibly worse than Calgon from Space Mutiny.

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

There's something so magical about the narrow window of time where we as a species imagined crewed spaceflight to the surface of Venus. It's an idea that has legs for only what, 20, 30 years? Until we had worked out what a horribly inhospitable place Venus is

#Monsterdon

Slower and louder General. Slower and louder or they'll never understand you. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

The soundtrack is fascinating, it's like two second clips to set the scene, but at the start of *every scene* no matter how short. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon - Exploit Venus. That's the driving imperative.

"He's just returned from Venus"

"Ah, Venice. Perhaps you mean Venezia"

"No. The PLANET Venus"

😮😮

Great joke, if you grade it on the #Monsterdon curve

At least they got the basic facts about Venus' incredibly toxic atmosphere correct! #monsterdon

They kidnapped a zygote!? Bad, bad. #monsterdon
But! There's minereals so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

of course the Important People in Italy look like Mafia because why not? #Monsterdon

Every single one of those divers shaves every inch of their skin below the neck. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

any lifeform that can survive on the surface of venus and then also rawdog earth atmosphere has earned its place as leader of earth #monsterdon

Man! Atsa some Italian sausages in those swimsuits! #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Asking for a bingo. #monsterdon

"You want me to drive?"

No, don't worry, it's just the same street repeated over and over, I'll be fine. #Monsterdon

yeah, please, cut back to the exciting shots of two people driving through the countryside, i'm on the edge of my seat for that one... #monsterdon

Don't turn around, uh-oh
Il Commissario's in town, uh-oh
#monsterdon

We need Venus in this film for Bechdel purposes #monsterdon

What we consider fool proof respiratory equipment.

When did the determination of the temperature/pressure/atmosphere of Venus happen anyway?

#Monsterdon

Are they consulting a scientist just now? #monsterdon

I’m kind of glad Dr. Charmin died because i don’t think i could take him seriously as a character with that name. #Monsterdon

"...we want to know how life can live there, so we brought it here"
"wait ... you did what?"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

That's right. Humans can't breathe on venus. Not for long I guess.

BUT WE MUST TAKE CAPITALISMS TO VENUS. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

"Unborn specimen" Ummm.. about that "Unborn" part. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"Horrible, but fascinating" that's what she said #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

You smug fucking Italian scientist! He said Venus and he meant Venus. #Monsterdon

Of course you have to go back to the inhospitable toxic planet because *minerals*

#Monsterdon

Yes, next time we will try "fool-proof" life support equipment

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

#monsterdon Venus? Uranus! (You fools)

she's got it

yeah baby she's got it

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Paul knows all about Venus, okay. hem hem hem #monsterdon

Is this international collaboration?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Where's Perry Mason's office? Oh. Right. California.

@jonny What a baller #monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- Should have had Italian Cops Dressed as Theater Ushers in the bingo

@moira
Is nobody worried the lichen might be infectious? #monsterdon

the handsomest always survive: a #monsterdon story

yes please, as much Paul Drake screentime as you can give me, i will take ALL OF IT. #monsterdon

Anyone else getting every single #monsterdon toot boosted by this "Movies Feed" thing? I guess it's basically acting as a hashtag relay but I dunno, rubs me the wrong way for some reason, blocked it

Coffee is served!

#monsterdon

@moira Is that even possible in rural Italy?#monsterdon

@jonny oh dang

hells yeah go harry!
