@paco I reckon the bugs picked her up (once they woke back up) and put her back in her cage. #Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

The music and set design are telling me this is the climax of the movie, but nothing else is

#Monsterdon

Uhh, I bet the alien leader will try to eat Cavor
#monsterdon

yeah, that's it Meier, just cough all your gross earth germs all over the place. at least we know now why the UN expedition didn't find any aliens on their moon landing. #monsterdon

This big staircase set looks great #monsterdon

This #Monsterdon might be plodding along a bit but visually it's quite a work of art

... add big-brained Selenites

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

I'm confused on exactly what the aliens do besides go into some kind of stasis, decorate with a lot of crystals, and learn languages really quickly

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

The bug people seem familiar. But I just can't place it. Shame. Well here's a shot of some alien native guards in a hallway.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Is this, like, moon Stonehenge?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

the moon bugs have glass but not shatterproof glass

You know what this place needs? Jagged hydraulic doors

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

There's a run on the Selenite bank! Now listen, I can't give you your crystals, I don't have the crystals, they're in your pod, Zork! And in your pod, Greedo!!

#Monsterdon

ARNOLD arnold Rimmer he is also a fantastic swimmer he

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Bedford is the absolute worst person to take exploring new worlds and discovering new civilizations.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

I thought they had left kate sleeping on the floor? #monsterdon

@PastaThief stasis + long flights -> yes please #monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

Selenite "going to sleep sound" was re-sed in a Space 1999 episode.

More stairs? O K

#Monsterdon

(RESOUNDING CLANG)

#monsterdon

The great and mighty Oz!

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Wow the effects are just fantastic, gosh darn it.

#monsterdon

They're sacrificing the prof to Tezcatlipoca. #Monsterdon

Their own walk-in cotton candy dispenser.

#Monsterdon

alright, back to work. blblblblbl #monsterdon

@goinfawr unless someone else is sneaking up behind you

#Monsterdon

Their stick is too long!

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

"I want to see their Pon Farr ceremony before we go!" #monsterdon

Moon-pa, moon-pa, loompa dee Moon

#Monsterdon

Rule #1 of Suspense flick;

NEVER SNEAK UP BEHIND SOMEONE
#Monsterdon

Arnold would look good wrapped up in one of those cocoons

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

To be fair, I would be somewhat creeped out.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Will we get any trial by combat on this movie?
#monsterdon

Ten bucks says he gets violent with the sleeping Selenites. #Monsterdon

"Ho ho ho, I have an elephant gun."

#Monsterdon

Now he's got a shotgun. Ho Ho Ho. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

... and they're just going to go to sleep rather than, say, try to get their ship back together and GTFO before the eclipse ends ?

#Monsterdon

@Victorsigmoid Every new beginning comes from Selenites on the moon. #Monsterdon

@Taweret yup

#Monsterdon

@amyfou Chicks dig 'em #monsterdon

"...sleep? I don't even have my Lorazepam."

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

It's a total eclipse of the heeeeeeeeeeeart~~
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

finally. MONSTERS!

#monsterdon

He didn't seem too worried about Arnold

#Monsterdon

"I'm so worried about Arnold."

Yeah, at this rate I'll never be implicated in a real estate scheme again! #Monsterdon

I'm not worried about Arnold
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

So, we have at least two kinds of Selenites - ones with human-like arms, covered in minky, and ones with more spindly arms, covered in chitin.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Ah yes, moon people sleep during lunar eclipses just like earth people sleep during solar eclipses. This is science.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

He brought his almanac

This movie needs a Bone Tomahawk scene

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

From astronauts just _happening_ to land in the _exact same place_ to arriving just before an eclipse there is quite a lot of extreme luck in this flick. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

So.... the solar powered space bugs turn off at night? #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Okay so the giant worm only looked like a caterpillar. Look at the bones, man!

#Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

You have got to keep a pocket almanac in your wool suit, OBVIOUSLY

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@hollie oooh that comes dangerously close to a plot

#Monsterdon

Mmm, London Fog. I do like that drink #Monsterdon

Right, an eclipse. Will last a long time! At least.... 30 minutes!

#monsterdon

Giant colored bongs are cool

#monsterdon

...wut

(this time it's about the aliens spontaneously forming cocoons)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh no! the sun is blocked from going into this narrow shaft by the earth

unlike 50% of the time when it's blocked by nighttime and the rest of the time when it's blocked by the rest of the narrow shaft itself

@CactuarJoe I mean he's a guy who uses "Imperial!" as a general positive exclamation so...

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I think I am behind but the shot of the diamond shaped door with the giant columns of multicolored liquid was really beautiful.

#Monsterdon

Disco's done for the evening. Y'don't have to go home but y'can't stay here. #Monsterdon

great. invented everything but batteries.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

#Monsterdon can someone build me a "fuck it, I want to take this decade off" moon machine?

Ironically helium was first discovered in the sun because it's so rare on Earth

#Monsterdon

Head, thorax, abdomen... abdomen. (to the tune of head shoulders knees and toes) #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Do you want crystals with that?

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Of course they needed a man in order to communicate 🙄 #Monsterdon #firstmeninthemoon

Don't worry, STRAIGHT WHITE MALE IMPERIALISM WILL SAVE THE DAY #Monsterdon

I sense upcoming swashbuckling

#Monsterdon

Why are we mummifying the bugs? Is this to set up Quatermass and the Pit?
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

I'm not following too closely but I'm getting a very #HGWells Time Machine but to the moon instead of time travel

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Should our feckless heroes trust the aliens who sound awfully similar to Daleks? We may have a use for Chekov's elephant gun, and it's not shooting rabbits.

Some Kurosawa level activity in the background there.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Wait so maybe they DID cocoon the humans and maybe they're STILL THERE IN 1964!!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

he wants to lick it

lick the rock candy

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

He goes straight into the enclosure to get locked in with her, instead of letting her out. 😑

#Monsterdon

meanwhile, this jackass

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

"Entirely reasonable I suppose"

So you're a Tory, then, Prof? :/ #Monsterdon

Pretty sure that the selenites are Jawa without their cloaks. #Monsterdon

Look at her OpSec sensiblities, well done. Handing them the anti-grav tech w/0 question...
c'mon

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

woo. an actual Space:1999 sound effect.

Inert gas is part of your element mix to make a composite. Really. Tell me more Mr. Scientist.

#Monsterdon

The moon has its own Westworld robot warehouse

#Monsterdon

Selenites almost reverse engineered Cavorite from samples on the skin of the ship.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Omg, this X-ray effect, what the hell 🤯

#Monsterdon

I love these aliens so much

#Monsterdon

just eat his brain, moon guys. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

Um, they don't need to know what it's called

We should have more zigzag doors on Earth

#Monsterdon

Rookie mistake to forget to go to the Moon and forget to bring the title document too #monsterdon

I really like the stop motion effects in this movie #Monsterdon

Seems like Selenites have some legit soda flavors. #monsterdon

@Violinknitter I have to assume some variant of uniting against a (perceived) common enemy

But yeah this is weird

#Monsterdon

The Selenites are taking it apart because while you all were taking the tour, deadbeat over there sold the space ship to the Selenites. #monsterdon

Omg, the Daleks!
#Monsterdon

They're tazing the harmless vegetarian!! Staaahp!

#Monsterdon

parts of this film are mind blowing
