#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Freaking finally. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

@RobynGoodfellow I want this to be referring to the moon

#Monsterdon

I talk to my pets too! #monsterdon

Kate blinked

#Monsterdon

Oh I am so fond of stories where all you need to explore anything, even the moon, is a tailored wool suit and a good hat

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

#monsterdon

miyaku is *not* keeping up.

That woman will be blasted to death. Unless we shove her in our bachelor pad in space.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

i believe there is a violent shock coming indeed. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i like the springs all around the spacecraft for landing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSbAUtyO7xo

put your hands in the air like you just don't care

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

did they bring chamber pots?

#Monsterdon

Did they test the seals of this sphere?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Wait, are they going up to space, or down to the bottom of the ocean?
#Monsterdon

"...just take a seat in these here strangle nets"

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

space macrame sling chairs!

#monsterdon

The movie takes an unexpectedly grim turn when Kate’s presence takes it in a “The Cold Equations” direction. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

Noooo Gwendalynne! Victoria! Liberty!! :goose_honk: :goose_honk: :goose_honk: 💞 💞 💞

those roll-up cavorite blinds will cool unevenly and cause the "sphere" to rotate at dangerous speeds as it ascends.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

off to space we go, in our COVID-19 virus

#Monsterdon

Proto-steampunk spaceship! All the brass detailing!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Luv too wear a full suit with Colonel Sanders tie and a long lab coat on top when it's A HUNDRED TEN! 🥵

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"When you decide, I'll be at the cottage you had me commit fraud for."

finally some space action
#monsterdon

It's frankly amazing the geese survived at constant temperatures of 110°F.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

It's bigger on the inside. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

At least the geese got their liberty.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Ok, here just say a bunch of science-y sounding things...
#Monsterdon

So, is that all the gay we get tonight? Her husband chose another man over her? #monsterdon

Noooo, not the geese!!!
#monsterdon

Yes, climb into the space-faring, anti-gravity vessel, wearing your three-piece suits.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Okay. They have oxygen. What about CO2 scrubbers?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@trixter @cs Oh well _that_ is true. That's why all those coloured lights on walls in Star Trek, why the bizarre colour selections in Lost in Space, and so on and so on

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Feeling sorry for this American lady getting ripped off by British clowns....

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon She bought a copy of the Brooklyn Bridge! Silly ninny.

Release the attack geese (who now have other names)!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

He’s going to the moon and he doesn’t have a freaking CHECKLIST?!? #Monsterdon

Arnold: oh, you're here

Kate: we can get married!

Arnold: ugh

[Later]

Kate: you'd rather gamble on moon schemes than marry me??

Arnold: yep

[Later]

Kate: I love you anyway, and I'll help

Arnold: go away

#Monsterdon

@ramsey Aw, an elephant gun isn't any good if you don't also take the elephant who can fire it... #monsterdon

All she had to do was ask them for a "27 B Stroke 6" form, and they'd have run away.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

it’s funny how these science fiction and fantasy stories are always about imagining a capitalism these techbros can control and weaponize at their hearts content.

it’s almost as if capitalism robs people of their imagination; making it impossible to imagine a world without it.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon time to skip out on a warrant!

Shit, I've been sussed! Better get my ass to the moon!

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Years ago, a young boy saw this movie and was certain he could reach Mars, if he could just get some Cavorite.

The good old days, when science fiction was science fiction.

#Monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon1964

OMG, he shafted Kate. Dang. That's harsh. #Monsterdon

Kate should take the sphere for herself and write "Men Suck" on the moon in big letters.

#monsterdon

wots all this then, we have reports of a moon sphere in this domicile #monsterdon

She means it THIS TIME.

Kate.

KATE.

KAAAAATE.

#Monsterdon

@claralistensprechen3rd This *is* a rather slow night for bingo

Probably on account of the bingo card expecting things to happen on the Moon and, well, you know how that turned out

#Monsterdon

Oh shit. The coppers. They're being sued for squatting in a house? Or something. It's hard to understand the british language sometimes.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Hahahahahaha! Bedford didn't own the cottage, after all!

What a grifter!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@cs The artificial dye industry got kickstarted by William Perkin's mauve in 1856.

#Monsterdon

child catcher? ah no, debt catcher. much worse.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I would like to point out that as British as "Gibbs" sounds, Willard the Father of Thermodynamics" Gibbs was an American.

#monsterdon

I’m ready for a song now.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

#monsterdon Marry her or go to the moon?

Go to the moon. No question.

Oop! What's it gonna be... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

Crackpot scientist's arms and legs are always at least a little akimbo

"When you decide, I'll be at the cottage," YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR HIM, KATE, GO BACK TO BOSTON

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@cs in case this is f'srs: oh my no, the victorians were mad for vibrant colour. garish as all hell. their dyes weren't the best so it faded.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

His mother told him to never get married?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

@pineheap I'm just mad I didn't think of it first. #Monsterdon

Leaving the door open

Yall were raised in barns or what #monsterdon #thefirstmeninthemoon

Who’s the monster in this scene? Kate or Edward?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

You'll letting the heat out!!!!!!!
#monsterdon

I really need a lorgnette to watch this.

#Monsterdon

45 minutes between appearances of the moon, so far

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this lady has not supported her man in *any* of his bad business ventures yet, i don't see why *he* has to be the one to not have fun and get himself killed on the moon!

Women are always mooning around.

#Monsterdon

men learning to hear what women are saying challenge: is she mad about how long i am going to the moon or is she mad about the other thing she keeps saying over and over again #monsterdon

Arnold, I've decided to go to Canada and become a forensic pathologist, I'm so used to deadbeats now.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@CactuarJoe As one has to do from time to time
#Monsterdon

the velvet waistcoat suggests it's Cavor, sorry girl #monsterdon

They're Chekov's gunning these geese so much I'm gonna be real disappointed if they don't kick off some wild shit.

#Monsterdon

... and he leaves the greenhouse door open ...

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Close the fucking doors! GEESH, how many times are they going to risk his experiment. #Monsterdon

Now, Bedford's walked out without shutting the door. Are they trying to ruin everything?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@_L1vY_ It could well be the missing link #monsterdon

How dare he not mention the moon expedition in the two minutes since found out about it!?

#Monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon1964

He's just going to the moon to escape his creditors. #Monsterdon

@bstacey i think the cavorite starts getting floaty if it gets cool

#monsterdon

@bstacey If there was one I missed it too

#Monsterdon

I'm getting weird Flash Gordon vibes off of this one. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Thank providence Kate's got a level head as well as an elephant gun and civilized alcohol for the journey.

Oh, and an ultimatum!

Evading creditors, real estate fraud, property destruction...He's got no choice he's gotta go to the moon to escape justice #Monsterdon

Kate, shut the damn door!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

#Monsterdon the good doctor is trying. Kate is a fussing busybody and either she needs to fetch coffee from France or die from shrapnel ejected by the next furnace explosion.

I want to be interested in this movie, but it's not interesting.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

I am shocked by the vibrancy of clothes dyes of the 1890s. Always thought those kind of colors didn’t come about until post-WWII. #Monsterdon

it sounds as if someone may be heading to the moon soon

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I have a sudden desire to see Mouse on the Moon.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Well you know how us women are, with our fascination with doors...
#Monsterdon

Kate, dump his ass. #Monsterdon

Oh no, is one of the first men IN the moon going to be a LADY?

#Monsterdon

Omg we're 41 minutes in and still on Earth? My estimates were so very wrong. We're never getting to the fireworks factory at this rate.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

How can these Victorian folks stand wearing all that clothing in a building that's 120 degrees?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@ranjit Space chickens, I like it

#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ I think we find out Gibbs moves to Australia to form a singing group with his brothers #monsterdon

Mooning around.
