we are now in the second phase of these kinds of movies: the series of barely-related setpiece scenes #monsterdon

From how easy it is for two earth astronauts to open a giant bulkhead door on the moon with their bare hands (what?), I am forced to conclude that the moon people need more secure door technology.

#monsterdon

fuck yeah

#Monsterdon

LOL!! Didn't expect to get your car stolen on the moon, did ya!? #monsterdon

"Assume a spherical space cow"

#Monsterdon

Mooncow!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

@paco @Lazarou Well I wouldn't go there, I'd say if you unexpectedly encounter an unknown creature it's reasonable to want something you can use to protect yourself if you have to

Thought to be fair we don't know that they weren't thinking of genocide either

#Monsterdon

i'm on #TeamSelenite

#monsterdon

Did they just run into very big water bears?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@floatybirb I, too, would jump around and get stuck in a giant moon rock. #Monsterdon

Kate, you know you can't hit them with an elephant gun. It only works on elephants.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

So can the Selenites breath vacuum, or do they have suits of their own?

#monsterdon

@paco that's the British Empire for you! #Monsterdon

bro dont use your helmet to block open the door haven't you seen those logic puzzles about the wolf and the chicken and crossing the river on the boat. if you only have one helmet you can only get one guy off the moon #monsterdon

NOW who won't shut the goddamn greenhouse door, old man? #Monsterdon

Ah, yes. I can take off my helmet when I'm inside, even though the door is open because science... fiction!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@Lazarou When they saw the shadows passing by the first thing he said was that he wished they'd brought the gun. They were thinking genocide all along. #monsterdon

So we've covered historical aspects, British arrive in place they haven't been to before, claim it as their own, and then start killing the locals.

#Monsterdon

"Now I'm leaving the oxygen full on."

Oh, that's a great idea.

(I'm having flashbacks to a Kim Stanley Robinson novel, and shuddering.)

#Monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@Vanalope@socel.net probably desecrated some graves too...

#Monsterdon

oh nevermind, the only woman in the entire movie just got kidnapped, perfect. #monsterdon

Great matte paintings though

#Monsterdon

Oh man, Kate has doomed our heroes to a lingering, suffocating death! You go girl! Excellent work, finally showing good judgment. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "i told her to stay in the car!"

I wonder if this underground Moon set is related to one of the Journey to the Center of the Earth ones.

#monsterdon

oh no! Bedford's British programming has been activated! He has to try and murder an entire species! #monsterdon

Did she leave their asses? HAHAHAHAHA
#Monsterdon

Breaking into your house and killing your family, that's the English welcome
#monsterdon

Yeah lesson one is never bring the investors on the expedition. #Monsterdon

OMFG, it's Space 1899!

#Monsterdon
#FirstMenInTheMoon1964

dude the selenite looks smaller than you are

#Monsterdon

So he pissed her off by being a deadbeat and a liar. Now he's pissed off the scientist dude by going genocidal on the first aliens he meets. Why is this guy still in the film? #monsterdon

so is the modern expedition going to find any of this shit,

or are the Victorians going to kill the load-bearing boss sometime before the end of the movie?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

The alien bug costumes have little abdomen keisters!

that's colonialism baybeee!

#monsterdon

First Murder in the Mooon.

#monsterdon

If I were approached by a Selenite, I would simply and immediately know how to communicate with it. #monsterdon

Victorian man visits the Moon, immediately starts genociding. #Monsterdon

just wearing my pants losely tucked into my hiking boots on the moon

#Monsterdon

That's where the saying "Good night, and don't let the moon bugs bite" comes from.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

Vegemen! My kingdom for vegemen!

#monsterdon

"It's a Ray Harryhausen monster" #monsterdon

Finally, aliens

#monsterdon

Well, they're no moon geese, but OK, I guess

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "what is it?"
"a moon creature... selenite."
"but the size!"

IS IT BIG OR IS IT SMALL? TELL ME THE SIZE

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 🌔🕷️ 🕷️ 😱

why would low gravity make you human-in-rubber-suit sized?

Oh baby been waiting an hour to use this one

#Monsterdon

okay we got aliens. we got there

#Monsterdon

"Oh jolly good. Our first native. Let's go oppress and enslave them in proper British tradition."
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

It's Guido! Better shoot first!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

The movie's lost all interest in Kate #monsterdon

OH NO MANTS

#Monsterdon

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this piece of garbage is actually entertaining. Kneale knew how to pace a movie. #monsterdon

The scenic farting caves of the moon. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

@jsadow @Bluedepth It's to protect them from Space Kraken #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Cat women living under the moon? Preposterous.

@jonny it's like the bradbury story about the kid locked in the closet for the one sunny day on venus

#monsterdon

Nice reflector, I'm assuming you need to change the light direction to solve the puzzle and get to the Master Sword. #Monsterdon

Don't look behind you!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

"Throw me your helmet"

That's a good strategy when you've lost your own helmet

#monsterdon

kate is just in the broom closet for the next 45 minutes #monsterdon

How can you tell if this guy’s getting too much oxygen? He’s been giddy the whole time #Monsterdon

you can sync this movie with Dark Side of the Moon. And then play Dark Side like 5 more times. And then after that they're on the moon.

#monsterdon

Look, I actually *was* interested in the 1960s moon expedition. Any chance of us getting back to that? #Monsterdon

Is this the room where they drink the fizzy lifting drinks?

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

I'm going to find a shot of that moonscape for wallpaper.

#Monsterdon

The moon natives: "WHO LEFT A WINDOW OPEN. DO YOU THINK WE'RE MADE OF ATMOSPHERE?"

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

Aqualung, my firend, don't you start away on the moon uneasy

#monsterdon

they're gonna find a flag and a note claiming the moon for the Holy Roman Empire, and then we get another flashback to 1500...

#monsterdon

Oh, Wormsign. #Monsterdon

Moon sphincter

#monsterdon

The special effects are pretty good for a #monsterdon feature

All Summer in a Lunar Day

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

@msh The Moon Ass.

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

to be honest this is better than some of the green screen in Krull

#Monsterdon

I refuse to believe a pair of British gentlemen exploring an unknown land in 1899 would not bring gloves. #monsterdon

okay things are happening at least

#Monsterdon

Cavor you dumbass!! Stop breaking the moon!!!

#Monsterdon

Suddenly the movie gets cool. #Monsterdon #TheFirstMenInTheMoon

The Selenites are gonna be pissed about their skylight.

#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

THE MYSTERONS ARE ALREADY ON THE MOON! RUN! RUUUUUUUUUN!

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

I can’t pay no doctor bills,
But Cavor’s on the moon.
#monsterdon

"if only there were some natives here that we could exploit!" #monsterdon

I can't decide if this movie thinks sound travels through space or not

#Monsterdon

the moon never sets on the british empire

#Monsterdon

too bad they didn't bring a camera

#monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon

"An empire Caesar never dreamed of!"

You can take the Englishman out of England, buuuuut... :/ #Monsterdon

get it? he's cavor-ting #monsterdon

@sealawyer sounds about right for this one

#Monsterdon

while they're bouncing around, seize the means of production, lady. #monsterdon

Yeah, they're not on the moon, they've bashed their skulls and they're HALLUCINATING the moon. #Monsterdon

cool shot tho

#Monsterdon

Very nice matte painting of the moon.
#Monsterdon #FirstMenintheMoon

He’s not wearing GLOVES?? Hello, frostbite #Monsterdon

...So they gotta boop noses to talk? #Monsterdon

"I'll be fine Darling, just stick me in cupboard and flush out all the air, it's fine..."

#Monsterdon

!!

#Monsterdon #FirstMenInTheMoon1964

"Now, I'm leaving the oxygen full on, so it will all go outside when we open the hatch."

#monsterdon

I see Chekhov's Union Jack #monsterdon

"take a letter" WTF?! I hate these men.
#Monsterdon
