I honestly don't know how to watch this. What is happening here?

#monsterdon

*checks* Still not in the moon yet. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

So like are we gonna put some Flubber in a Model T and fly it to the moon or something or what let's get going :ameowbongo: #Monsterdon

📰 🐱 i should install a furnace in my living room

#monsterdon

That kind of attitude is what got a man poisoned #Monsterdon

So he sold the cottage that he didn't own to the guy who will then reinvest his own money into his new material.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

The UK is a land of eccentrics, huh

#monsterdon

everyone needs an hour of motivation for why they want to go the moon and the marriage wanting woman is being set up for getting moon married #monsterdon

Ah, good old anti-gravity paste. Whimsical indeed.

#Monsterdon

I miss the moon :/ #Monsterdon

Arnold: she wants to have sex with you. Grow up

#Monsterdon

Thought this film was going to be boring, but now I see that we have this real estate scene to liven things up #monsterdon

Tsk tsk I came here for escapism and here I find a dodgy businessmen cheating a naive scientist.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Smart girl, run while you can.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Step 1: paint cavorite on the Boar War boots.
...
profit!

#monsterdon

Relationships built on honesty are nice

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

What is it with #Monsterdon movies and real estate transactions

@Taweret I bet the moon people are having a swell party.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Arthur is a lush. She should leave him.
#Monsterdon

"The play's an absolute gamble. This Cavor guy who I called a crackpot earlier is a sure bet."

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

every person in this movie is getting swindled by every other person in this movie. they all deserve each other. #monsterdon

Girl, this guy is a walking red flag. Get Out Girl!

#Monsterdon

"I love to laugh, loud and long and clear
I love to laugh, it's getting worse every year" #Monsterdon #firstmeninthemoon

I wonder if the antigravity chair has anything to do with that cable that’s right next to him. #Monsterdon

Main character is quickly become a sleeze.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Dodgy accounting 101

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Haha falling into an entire table of glass beakers and chemicals, how amusing

#Monsterdon

actually you know what

thank you, set team, for having the chair flip as far up as possible to the ceiling as soon as he fell off

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

He's so SHOUTY :/ #Monsterdon

THE WIRES ARE RIGHT THERE!

#Monsterdon

So... this is chitty chitty bang bang meets apollo 13? #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

@Terencio That *would* explain how it could fly

#Monsterdon

Almost clever hiding of the mechanism used for lifting/holding up the chair with the rods with clothes draped over.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Every British-themed movie had to have a weightlessness scene in it at the time this was filmed #monsterdon #marypoppins

"it takes effect when it hardens."
That's what she said.
#Monsterdon #firstmeninthemoon

"i'm a business man" dude, you should run away from this man as quickly as possible. #monsterdon

moon mentioned 👀
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon but if the paint reflects gravity won't that reflect it onto the ground, which'll be pulled closer to the chair?

#Monsterdon Gibbs is a moron. Deaf. Idle. Dim.

Ah the cartels and the trusts. Glad we got rid of those old timey villains #Monsterdon

And your main character is developing into quite a con man.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon(1964)

It’s weird to know that in just 6 years from the time of this film Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity.

#Monsterdon

I wonder how much of his audition was how loud he could shout GIIIIIBS! #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

EEEEEY CAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOT #Monsterdon

I struck by the inconvience of the moon also having mass / gravity for the development of this plot.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

This is altogether too wacky

#Monsterdon

A lot more slapstick in this than I was expecting. #Monsterdon

@Taweret And yet we are stuck watching decidedly non-amazing creatures on the non-moon running around doing non-cool stuff

#Monsterdon

I should never be allowed near molten metal because there's no possible way I would be able to resist the urge to just drop things into it to see what happens

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

... why doesn't the crucible float away?

#Monsterdon

"Gravity is very important."
"That's what I hear."
#monsterdon

Oooh so that wasn't monster stew? #monsterdon

Maybe Harryhausen was the caterer

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

this is basically Mary Poppins but with a scientist instead of nanny, right? #monsterdon

The scientist is giving Gene Wilder energy. #Monsterdon #firstmeninthemoon

Okay, I enjoyed the flying chair
#monsterdon

@moira you called it. lol #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

I don't think a ladder is what you need here...

#Monsterdon

We're about to have a Willy Wonka fizzy soda moment!

#Monsterdon

Ah, no, the comedy _bassoon_, of course, of course

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

what? he brushed molten stuff on a wooden chair leg and it's fine?

Ok, this is my favorite Monsterdon movie in a while. I think that says more about my affection for comedy of manners than excellence in monster movies #Monsterdon

He's been laughing too hard again. #Monsterdon

Despite the lack of monsters and moon action in this #Monsterdon so far I *do* find this Steampunk Edition of "Wonderful World of Disney" quite charming

oh is *that* what gravity is, I thought they were talking about cured salmon

#monsterdon

Shares of Unobtanium anti-gravity minerals are about to plummet.

#Monsterdon

will we have the comedy oboe as soon as the chair goes up?

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Did we just switch to Mary Poppins. Bedford, the trick is not to laugh!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Grabbity #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The good doctor is a Higgs field deviant.

Oh shit . It is Flubber.
This invention will start wars. And end them.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Nice models. Also, MechJeb nailed that suicide burn.

#monsterdon

Sword wielding skeletons, attack!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

we have already someone trying to make a lot of money with a scientific discovery
#monsterdon

graveté #monsterdon

@Taweret remember when the movie started on the moon then decided not to be on the moon anymore?

#monsterdon

That's just British cuisine, Boiling Lark's Vomit #monsterdon

"The pull of the earth, what holds us on the ground" Yeah. We've heard of it. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

This is such mad scientist slumber party energy #Monsterdon

filmmakers feeling they have to explain gravity

what was your audience

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

...We know what gravity is, dude :/ #Monsterdon

marconi's wireless, this movie things it is Very Smart. #monsterdon

Mad scientist *must* have bubbling glassware. He's not American because he doesn't carry a gun, so that fits.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon(1964)

we need a consensus mechanism in #monsterdon where we can mid-movie vote to skip to a new timestamp where there is actually moon stuff happening

#monsterdon This movie is great so far. I don't want to make fun of it.

sciencing! #monsterdon

Stick you face right in it... #monsterdon Become the monster, the moon monster.

@Taweret Very neat, dangerous stuff.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

A secret? Sure I'll tell you all about it, after all you are a complete stranger!
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@YsengrinWolf This movie is rather light on action for having unhinged things going on though

#Monsterdon

He's making Spotted Dick in that pot #monsterdon

Honestly, this is what I would also be like as a scientist. #Monsterdon

A screen to cut off the rays of... gravity... PASTE!? So sunscreen against gravity???
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

A+ on the burbling sound effects #Monsterdon

A lot of things take effect when they...okay never mind.

#Monsterdon

has this guy just spent his life marching into forges and badgering blacksmiths? he lives in horse times, this should look familiar

#monsterdon

If the moon didn't work out, I bet he'd have invented Flubber.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Um....is Flubber about to happen?

#Monsterdon

I've got the Occupational, who's got the Health and Safety?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon
