"What did he say?"
"Oh, nothing."

to be the third wheel guy on the far side of the bench seat of the 50's boatcar with no lines and squished by the blonde male model #monsterdon

no no let him learn some humility, who cares about Frank

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Although I've thinking about becoming a commerical pilot. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

note to self:

leave 'convertable' top up

I wonder if they paid Frank's actor as an extra

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

You're a scientist. You do science things. Like ATOMIC STRAWBERRIES.
#monsterdon

Mute guy got more rizz than Peter Graves. Pete just has better hair and a strong jawline.
#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd

#monsterdon Christ Bert, have some shame (it doesn't matter _what_ it is as long as it's oversized)

I wonder what the monster is doing right now

(I wonder if there even is a monster)

#Monsterdon

@LingLass looked like it to me!

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

Being unable to hear & speak has sharpened this scientist's sense of being a third wheel. #Monsterdon

Sir, how does it feel to straddle a drive train?

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

He did it

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

"radios, radioactivity- same thing"

#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

I have too much work on my hands. ATOMIC HANDS.
#monsterdon

@Mjack
and she's got moxie!

#monsterdon

"Things have a way of vanishing around here. It's all the dang You-FOes, if y'ask me."

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

The why AND the wherefore?! Shiver me timbers!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

wait did his nuclear exposure also make him fluent in fake ASL? And how did Frank/Peter learn it?

Be a male presence, so they’ll let me through #Monsterdon

@faoluin

I think the story is rolling now, so I think this is the end of the beginning of the beginning of the end.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"3 months ago a warehouse was destroyed" was that video 3 months ago already? Time flies 🔥😌🔥

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Needed to have a couple of corpses covered with that nasty looking spit grasshoppers make. #Monsterdon

Is this really the time for Charades? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon “The Authorities are MORONS” -- come on, just say the magic words!

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

This is the most attractive male/female pairing we've seen in #monsterdon in a while..

...was that actually sign language?

#monsterdon

"Things, they just be falling to pieces around here"
#monsterdon

Dr Pete, she is trying to get you alone. Go w/ it. #Monsterdon

Hi I'm Peter Graves. Welcome me back to this movie.
#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd

@paco “Cough.”

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

yup

birbs

4 sure

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

Frank/Peter is adorable

Yes, people vanishing is always connected.
#beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

I'm glad the movie just gave up on his dialog.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

"I'm going to hit on you, Lady Reporter, and never mind the plot point I'll sneak in here just as the scene changes!"

#monsterdon

Graves could do action and comedy. He had good timing. We watched Stallone try and do comedy earlier in Rhinestone, and that was just brutal. #monsterdon

Oh no, it's the woman who doesn't knock!

#monsterdon

Wow, a critical remark about the war in Korea? That's surprising!

#Monsterdon

I believe she properly referred to as a Dame #Monsterdon

They keep saying Ludlow and it keeps throwing me off since there's a Lake Ludlow not all that far from me. Are the atomic bugs that close to me?
#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd

Take me down to Ludlow city where the grass is atomic and the buildings are gritty
#monsterdon

Honestly this started out so well. Clearly a successful female lead. And then we had to try science.
#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

SOMEBODY has to do their job around here.

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

Why does Ms Reporter need a strong stomach? There's no gore or anything, just the aftermath of a tornado or something

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

That looks like garden-variety tornado damage

atomic garden-variety 😁 eyoooo

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

Just looks like a tornado tore through a trailer park to me.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Like an EH3 or 4 #Monsterdon

Operating a camera like that is so much work! Instagram never would have worked in the 50s

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

#monsterdon Go ahead, take her into Ludlow, -And I hope you have a strong stomach-

They were right in the middle of the limburger cabbage stew cookoff when the disaster struck

@plaidtron3000 i wonder if this isn't the original aspect ratio and it's just cropped to letterbox?

#monsterdon

Over Macho Grande? #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

SUDDEN MEMORY of photographers leaving land camera bulbs and cube instamatic bulbs on the floor because why throw them away properly?

AAAAAAAAA the past was sometimes horrible.

#monsterdon

Giant vegetables? So he’s Goron from the old Spider-Man cartoon?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌽 🌾 🫘 ☢️ 🦗 🦗 🦗 😱

Had the US declassified photos of post-nuclear Hiroshima/Nagasaki by 1957?

And your spleen, lady, you need a piquant spleen for this work!

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

Wait we got devastation B-roll!! #Monsterdon

she's using so many flashbulbs

#monsterdon

That doesn’t look like giant bugs. That looks like a tornado #Monsterdon

So far the real star of the movie is that car. #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Alright better late than never #Monsterdon

#monsterdon it would grow much larger if we didn't limit the stimulation. If you know what I mean

Repointing the detour to allow privilege escalation. #Monsterdon

That's at least 5 ludlow's in the past minute.

#monsterdon

that's not how radioactive materials work.
#monsterdon

This is why I leave Americium 243 throughout my garden by harvesting countless smoke detectors.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

Springfield? So it is Homer's fault.

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd

"Colonel, Springfield's on the line," This is more of a Shelbyville monster. #Monsterdon

@me That's what everyone did in the 50's

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

I swear that does not look like inspecting a tomato.

#monsterdon

"why, some day we hope this grows into the food of the gods!"

#monsterdon

WHy does she need to have a strong stomach to see an empty town? #beginningoftheend
#monsterdon #grasshoppersvspostcards

Dear cinematographer, why do you keep cutting off people's heads?

#monsterdon

ATOMIC TOMATOES
#monsterdon

"A sun that never sets; an invisible sun, if you will. It gives its heat to everyone." #Monsterdon

And now all her hair falls out. #monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

fell asleep and missed the first few minutes. First thing i see is giant tomato and i'm like

GORDON!!! *shaking fists*

Bert I Gordon really had the one schtick huh
#monsterdon

Seriously, don't look to hard at the science folks. You'll get a migraine.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

I'm pretty sure my dad was born around the year this film released and he has /never/ stopped joking about large, radioactive produce

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

“Right now I’m working on the Ludlow story… and this fifth of gin.”

#Monsterdon

Radiation famously causes deafness and muteness and no other side effects on the human body whatsoever.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

1 person 3 mo ago vs a whole town?

shrug

Making giant vegetables never goes well.

#BeginningOfTheEnd #monsterdon

Nope, we keep all our radioactive material here in this unlocked mini-fridge
#Monsterdon

Let the giant stuff begin! #Monsterdon

I'll bet that produce has no taste at all.

#Monsterdon #BeginningoftheEnd 💥🔫🚓🎥

Food of the Gods 2: The Radiating!

#Monsterdon
#BeginningOfTheEnd1957

"Actually the fruit would grow much larger if we didn't limit the stimulation."

😏 😏 😏 😏

#monsterdon

Oh my, a young Peter Graves #Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

The future of farming: giant radioactive fruits

'murica

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

"We hope to develop a hybrid that can be eaten."

I'd like to see you make a tasty Prius.

#monsterdon

She seems awfully calm for seeing a strawberry the size of her head

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd

Monsters have no practical value? Oh right, this was before Pokemon. #Monsterdon

Was the trefoil radiation symbol not in use back then?

Oh, you can't eat these tomatoes. Radiation, you know.

#Monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd1957

these are snails. ATOMIC SNAILS.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Hi, is this the US Dept of Agriculture, Illinois experimental Station?

#monsterdon #BegiiningOffTheEnd1957

Wait.. you are using highly radioactive materials to create giant strawberries..

"Can you eat them?" "No, these are just styrofoam." "Ah, like AI." "Exactly!"

#monsterdon #BeginningOfTheEnd #GrasshoppersVsPostcards

(Opens lead lined cabinet, dosing her)
