He's making Everlasting Gobstoppers #Monsterdon
Iβm surprised this lady didnβt have one of the early EVs.
@Taweret Maybe like a gorgon or the Aztec mummy will appear and terrorize everyone.
You know, you could have just ridden the bicycle over there.
Joseph Cavor, main character trait: sweaty #Monsterdon
I love the madcap music
he's like THIRTY METRES AWAY. you could WALK there faster
I wonder how the moon's doing.
@Taweret Guess it's all in the build up! #monsterdon
"Arnold, I've just spoken to an absolute crackpot." #Monsterdon
@diazona @kshernandez there's dozens of us! #Monsterdon
I feel like this movie needs more tea kettles.
@SordidAmok Is that Charlie's mom?
Lady's piled up hair makes he forehead look larger. SO much larger. Does she have in Interoceter?
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon
"Gibs! Gibs! The Furnace!"
Something pleasingly unhinged is going on.
I wonder if there were so many Victorian period pieces in the 60s because the Victorians loved bright colors (when they weren't choking on smog) and Technicolor in the 60s was relatively new and exciting.
@jonny But of course, they're IN the moon, not ON it. It has a hollow in it that looks like the English countryside #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¨βπ π¨βπ π©βπ π ππ·οΈ π·οΈ π±
But how much is that in rubles?
did she just say a thousand british pounds is five thousand american dollars??? okay. #monsterdon
@amyfou Not in Texas! #monsterdon
All my moneyβs in BoΓΆtes. Yes, the constellation. Itβsβ umm, a herdsman?
yes, the american wheeling and dealing about real estate
@jonny Saves on set budgets... #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon
βThe furnace! The furnace!β
Yeah, this is 100% Chitty Chitty Bang Bang #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¨βπ π¨βπ π©βπ π ππ·οΈ π·οΈ π±
Kate's hair is way too big
This is a period piece, and as such, if it can't get to the point, perhaps it could reach a full stop.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon
wow that woman can whip up a pot of tea faster than you can say "boots from the Boer War"
#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon
Heavens. After all one can't get married as a RENTER. π³
Maybe the old guy had too much opium
#monsterdon
OH NO! THE FURNACE! Gibs him a furnace!
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon
This guy sounds like a total grifter. "My experiments this" and "my experiments that." This sounds smells like a pig butchering scam.
I scrubbed ahead and the amount of time spent NOT BEING ON THE MOON is astonishing #monsterdon
such a mishmash of accents #Monsterdon
This is Caractacus Potts, right? Any time now heβs going to start singing βPoshβ #Monsterdon
i think he's looking for a threesome
@MatthewTitus88 Just imagine those fellows sitting around listening to all this backstory #monsterdon
I wonder if all this silliness is in the novel.
Waiting for her to start singing to ben Franklin about her husband playing the violin. #Monsterdon
@moira Did he sow the first seeds of the military look on civilians. For capitalism? My God. #monsterdon
"I'm currently experiencing a slight cash flow problem." #monsterdon
"Honey, I have great news. While you were out, I sold your family cottage without consulting you."
Better than my lying boyfriend.
Chekhov reference!
So far, no complaints from me. Maybe the makeup on the old guy. #Monsterdon
1899, when women wore their hair down with lots of hairspray
You know what we could do with all those surplus boots from the Boer War? Maybe they would be useful on the moon! Perhaps we could, y'know, go to the moon to try them out; #Monsterdon
I just KNEW she was going to say "charming"! π
I know, he could sell his surplus boots to drag queens! That would make a great play/movie/musical!
Absent minded science man is delightfully chipper.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon
@plaidtron3000 classic HG Wells.... #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon wait is this playwright gonna get into the moon exploration gig cause he gets talked into investing into a quick money turnaround for his surplus boot business?
I always water my garden in a pink satin gown. Very practical, definitely wonβt get dirty from this big huge dirty watering can #Monsterdon
Tuba music. That's... Never a good sign. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon π¨βπ π¨βπ π©βπ π ππ·οΈ π·οΈ π±
I must start LA LA LAing like that too
as everyone knows, mournful tuba is the perfect bicycling music. #monsterdon
Cavor is very, very sweaty for the weather isn't he?
@moira On account of the film's year I was thinking go-go boots instead #monsterdon
And suddenly⦠Dinosaur!
@jonny That would be amazing!
oh bother, Arnold hasn't successfully profitted off oppression :(
Dude just missed the great
Surplus Boot rush.
"all my money is in boots"
K. I need a shower.
#Monsterdon #firstmeninthemoon
@jsadow A universal sentiment.
He's gonna sell that cottage for 20 pounds?! #monsterdon
Mate, unless you're telling me you went to the moon to get away from creditors, you better hurry this fucking story along
oh, so he tried to escape to the moon to outrun all the lies to his girlfriend π
#monsterdon
We're gonna get back to the moon soon right? #Monsterdon
"All my money's in boots" - well, go get them and we'll empty them out
@blogdiva And was it clean? #monsterdon
All my money's in Boots. The chemist. They'll be something, someday.
Kiss me, Kate! #monsterdon
Not 5 minutes ago there were guys on the moon. The is all over the place. #monsterdon
@trixter Hey I made the same post :)
Lord give me the confidence of a mediocre white man. (I feel like I say this a lot during Monsterdon...)
#Monsterdon a long time ago act. Ohhhkay. Actual⦠writing?!?
@kshernandez if not then you're not alone
"... all my money is in army boots."
wow, the skirt of that dress is really earning the technicolor on this film. #monsterdon
Woman in purple dress happily careening 4mph jalopy into cyclists across the English countryside
I really want to see more of the canal
#monsterdon
@hollie I'm obligated to put this image in the replies.
This movie started looking like a good sci-fi, and now it's more and more looking like an old brotish comedy.
#monsterdon
Harryhausen bangers and mash maybe?
"All my money is in boots. I'm sure it will pay off eventually."
What a dip.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon
I wonder if the playwright is a stand-in for H.G. Wells as is traditional for writer-figures in novels.
Cinema is when people say "dahling"
I do know how difficult it is to start. :(
in the words of @Taweret "i wonder what the moon is up to" #monsterdon
It is actually kinda charming. #monsterdon
This is fascinating. Combining 19th century technology in the context of comparability to 20th century technology and the things they are capable of doing.
Iβm liking the set dressing on these English sets. Like, I want those hurricane lanterns #Monsterdon
One must never be excited needlessly #Monsterdon
To be fair you'd have to be kind of sticking your head in the sand to be a former astronaut and not know they sent more people to the moon
Oh yes. Writing is just that easy... I don't like this old man turned foppish young man.
