I thought airline seats use to be more comfortable. They don’t look more comfortable there. #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Edit: what I typed was near incomprehensible

"Thousands of casualties" more than our budget will stretch to #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

YEAH MR. SCIENCE GUY, LET THE ARMY DO ARMY THINGS.
#monsterdon

Just throwing I Told You Sos there w/ his eyes at the General. #Monsterdon

WILL THE LOCUSTS EAT CHICAGO????

Y'know what we need, right? We need those emus that won the Emu War in Australia.

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

@randy_s they eat, and leap, and make little locusts.

#Monsterdon

Locusts are attacking and overrunning Paxton! But we can't show you that, either. No budget.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon Paxton! They're protecting Bill Paxton! GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER. Wait, this is in the same fictional universe now as Aliens. LOL.

@diazona Next they'll be getting into Bertrand Russel and start screaming about the set of all sets that don't contain themselves

#Monsterdon

@Binder Chuabuah's in the sheets?! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #monsterdon

why am i so attracted to Peter Graves

#monsterdon

I'm glad we got a good look at Peter Graves' socks.

#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

they're calling directly from the plot device #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"Is this another bughunt, sir..?"

#Monsterdon "The locusts have broken through our defense line. Thousand of casualties."

That would have been fun to see.

Sweet, affordable exposition strikes again. #Monsterdon

"Illinois! The whole state! It's gone!"

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

Is this the finest Illinois National Guard war movie? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon That presentation is right on about one thing a katydid tried pushing me off a third floor balcony once in tx

Good Powerpoint presentation there Peter Graves. 👏
#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd

Not sure what this #Monsterdon thing is, but y'all are spamming my timeline so heavily! Like wow!

I guess in the 1950s when you get overruled in a meeting you just... walk out. you don't make a more empassioned plea??

#monsterdon

Fun fact: the Colonel (Thomas Browne Henry) was in the Adam’s family in 1964 and Green Acres in 1965.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957”

'i'm afraid my presentation didn't impress you quite enough"

so here's a real live GIANT GRASSHOPPER! direct from Illinois!

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

I love that the grasshopper in the informational video waved while standing on cactus spines 😍 Hey lil buddy! 👋🏻

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

"I'm doing MY part!"

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957 #StarshipTroopers

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

What do you suggest we do?
Give up. Sue for peace!

@ricci 😂

Gotta establish what the cardinality of "countless" is

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

So clearly we need giant gulls!!!!
#monsterdon

"we invented atomic foods, but not atomic pesticides."
#monsterdon

"I was greatly impressed with your presentation" YOU WERE??? #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

So, as you can see, the locust is far superior to man. Our only choice is to lay down arms and prey some of us will survive.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

Fun fact, the California Gull is the state bird of Utah because during the pioneer days there was a locusts plague but the gulls came down and eat them up
#monsterdon

"My god, Doctor - this is worse than juvenile delinquency!"

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

the "Beginning of the Era that Leads to the Annihilation of Man" would have been a mouthful of a movie title.
#monsterdon

Guy in the right was kidnapped by aliens in Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers. #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

I've personally never been bitten by a locust.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

We've been plagued by locusts

To be fair, I'm sure they're not all that pleased to see us around either.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon Locusts do not feel, locusts do not think, you cannot reason with a locust

#monsterdon $25 million dollars, otherwise known as Trillionaire Dandruff.

Cannibal Locusts!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon

2000 gals?

@Taweret a locust is a kind of grasshopper #monsterdon

(i'm just glad i have my timeline so i don't have to look at all these pictures of bugs. shudder)

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

I feel like he's slandering these noble creatures. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe That's Laurance, to you, hoomun!

#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd 💥🔫🚓🎥

Insecticide?! WHERE?!

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

It’s exactly the same as the locust except the size and it hasn’t become a locust, so I guess it’s not exactly the same

#monsterdon

Stock footage of locusts.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Already halfway over. The one I watched this morning felt like it lasted 3 days. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

That cute grassy hoppy was on a prickly pear!

#monsterdon

Aahhh remember when we had an East Wing?

Oh Boy! #Monsterdon Science Class! #BeginningOfTheEnd

“The beginning of the end” is not the definition of the word “annihilation.”

#Monsterdon

Why can't he understand how serious atomic grasshoppers are?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon ANNIHILATION! APOCALYPSE! That's Armageddon! It's the.... BEGINNING OF THE END... Hot-cha-cha!

HE SAID THE TITLE! #TheBeginningOfTheEnd

#Monsterdon

It only took a couple tries for him to say the name of the movie.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

"This gentleman is the enemy" how do you know it's a male locust?? #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

"The locust is intelligent, and strong!"

The beginning of an era which could see the complete annihilation of all humanity is kind of how one defines an era as having begun, innit? #Monsterdon

Name drop!! #Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd 💥🔫🚓🎥

“Annihilation. The beginning of the end.”

Thank you for the redundancy

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon a stick phone? He's calling for reinforcements from WWI

Yeah, I'd go straight to DC with this too... 😐

#monsterdon

HE SAID THE TITLE!!!

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

"In a way I feel some responsibility."

Oh do you? Perhaps because you are?

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

TITLE DROP! #monsterdon

And there's the movie's title! Thank you, Peter Graves.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

If you took pictures, Audrey, that might convince Washington. #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Title Drop!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

OOOO HE SAID THE THING

#monsterdon

@klu9 Bugs!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon chitin bnuys

...that sound though, nobody scored in the back of the theatre during this one.

Obviously the solution is we need to construct a giant shoe.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

#monsterdon

f*ck!

overrun paxton

again?

sheesh

*leo point*

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

@diazona on the contrary, they are devotees of Georg Cantor's set theory

#Monsterdon

I feel responsible for some reason for the grasshoppers I created with my atom power
#monsterdon

@rebeld

It's the only way to be sure...

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

Roll credits!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Audrey: I'm ready to do whatever I can

Him: Audrey...have you ever smoked methamphetamine?

#monsterdon

I'd say "just nuke the site from orbit" but I think that's gonna be in the third act of the movie. #Monsterdon

Giant grasshoppers, entirely unprecedented.

Military: don't worry too much about it.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

#Monsterdon grasshoppers be like

🎶They fired their guns, but the locusts kept a coming... 🎶

#Monsterdon

They'd "section 8" him right out of the service?

#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd 💥🔫🚓🎥

When he says they'd "sectionate" him out of the service, he means that he'd be given partial interest in a Nathaniel. #Monsterdon

Titular line!

#Monsterdon

@klu9

BUUUUUUUGS!!!!

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

If I was Peter Graves I’d go heavy on the “I told you so”s

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

Wait- so, annihilation?
#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

Okay the failure of conventional weapons against the impending menace phase is over. #Monsterdon

"I think you better call the regular army"

Guess that explains all the civil defense logos on everything.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

You know what could prove the existence of giant locusts... a camera?

nice FX for the giant bugs. Lousy acting for the soldiers
#monsterdon
#beginningoftheend1957

"Why they'd sectionate me out of the service"

OK, I'd like a word with the captioner, please.
