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

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

Main character is quickly become a sleeze.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Miss Anastasia would like to know why they’re not on the moon yet.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon #CatsOfMastodon

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?

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

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

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

"That's meth. I'm cooking up a big batch of meth."

#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

It's the hijinks tuba!

#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

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

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

sciencing! #monsterdon

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

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

@Taweret Very neat, dangerous stuff.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

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

#Monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

I'm very nervous about the molten metal

Cavorite, we're gonna build caves with it. #Monsterdon

Shit is on FIRE, you can't hold your damn horses for a minute?

#Monsterdon

I remember this kitchen set from Downton Abbey

#Monsterdon

Yes! Grab the glowing hot iron crucible with your bare hands ... ... or not.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon(1964)

@Taweret Or a moon

#Monsterdon

You know, dude, it looks like Cavor is working with some really dangerous stuff. Maybe shut up and step away until Cavor's able to talk.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

This Kate woman keeps pronouncing his name as "KAY-ver," but either he very clearly pronounced his name as "Kah-VOR" or I've taken leave of my senses.

#Monsterdon

dude, the old man is obviously about to blow some glass in his english country home, you might wanna just drive home and argue with your girlfriend, and leave this guy to his own devices. #monsterdon

Yes, put your head in the crucible. Do it.

#monsterdon

yep

them's gobstoppers

you can tell by the burbling

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Sir I'm pretty sure your real estate concerns can wait until there is less fire.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

He's invented fizzy lifting drink. BURP CHARLIE! #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

i don't give a crap about how the victorian era british guys made it to the moon, just say "they invented a special kind of pocketwatch that made them be on the moon" and get their asses to the moon #monsterdon

we have a authentic #monsterdon movie soundtrack on this flix.

@jsadow @Taweret if only

#Monsterdon

This movie is a real "I've seen that guy in a Hammer movie" fest.

#Monsterdon

The jolly oboe signifies the thrill of science.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon
