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

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

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

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

#monsterdon

yep

them's gobstoppers

you can tell by the burbling

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

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

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

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

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

He's making Everlasting Gobstoppers #Monsterdon

"Willing to pay anything, within reason"

...that's not what "anything" means

#Monsterdon

I’m surprised this lady didn’t have one of the early EVs.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@Taweret Maybe like a gorgon or the Aztec mummy will appear and terrorize everyone.

#Monsterdon

You know, you could have just ridden the bicycle over there.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Joseph Cavor, main character trait: sweaty #Monsterdon

I love the madcap music

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

he's like THIRTY METRES AWAY. you could WALK there faster

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@Taweret Guess it's all in the build up! #monsterdon

"Not married? Kindly leave the room."

Actually funny for once.

#monsterdon

"Arnold, I've just spoken to an absolute crackpot." #Monsterdon

@diazona @kshernandez there's dozens of us! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I feel like this movie needs more tea kettles.

@SordidAmok Is that Charlie's mom?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Lady's piled up hair makes he forehead look larger. SO much larger. Does she have in Interoceter?
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

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.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

"Gibs! Gibs! The Furnace!"

Something pleasingly unhinged is going on.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon(1964)

@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 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

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 money’s in Boötes. Yes, the constellation. It’s— umm, a herdsman?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

yes, the american wheeling and dealing about real estate

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

@jonny Saves on set budgets... #Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

“The furnace! The furnace!”

Yeah, this is 100% Chitty Chitty Bang Bang #Monsterdon

...$5000 for a house.

>_>

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

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. 😳

#Monsterdon

OH NO! THE FURNACE! Gibs him a furnace!
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

Maybe the old guy had too much opium
#monsterdon

There Used To Be A Moon

Act I. Scene 1.

See, I can write a play too

#Monsterdon

This guy sounds like a total grifter. "My experiments this" and "my experiments that." This sounds smells like a pig butchering scam.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

such a mishmash of accents #Monsterdon

I scrubbed ahead and the amount of time spent NOT BEING ON THE MOON is astonishing #monsterdon

This is Caractacus Potts, right? Any time now he’s going to start singing “Posh” #Monsterdon

i think he's looking for a threesome

#monsterdon

I wonder if all this silliness is in the novel.

#Monsterdon

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."

#Monsterdon

Better than my lying boyfriend.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Chekhov reference!

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

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"! 😂

#Monsterdon

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 won’t get dirty from this big huge dirty watering can #Monsterdon

Tuba music. That's... Never a good sign. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

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?

#monsterdon

@moira On account of the film's year I was thinking go-go boots instead #monsterdon

And suddenly… Dinosaur!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@jonny That would be amazing!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

oh bother, Arnold hasn't successfully profitted off oppression :(

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

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

#Monsterdon

oh, so he tried to escape to the moon to outrun all the lies to his girlfriend 🙄
#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

#monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon

@blogdiva And was it clean? #monsterdon

All my money's in Boots. The chemist. They'll be something, someday.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Kiss me, Kate! #monsterdon

@trixter Hey I made the same post :)

#Monsterdon

Lord give me the confidence of a mediocre white man. (I feel like I say this a lot during Monsterdon...)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon a long time ago act. Ohhhkay. Actual… writing?!?

@kshernandez if not then you're not alone

#Monsterdon

"... all my money is in army boots."

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon(1964)

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

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I really want to see more of the canal
#monsterdon
