It’s a 1953 car phone! #monsterdon

#monsterdon

@lorgonumputz Looks like a dress shoe
Feels like a sneaker

#monsterdon

Fucking Teletubbies! #Monsterdon

MEW-TANTS!!!

#monsterdon

Not the kid!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Mute ants! #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

these guys have _got_ to get their roundel game together, this is just sloppy as hell

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@annathepiper Keeps using the term "Danger Chorus" and I love it. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Classic men running across a fence in the spotlight #monsterdon

Whoops, Mirror Ward and June rolled their Dodge Charger. #Monsterdon

good thing the aliens are too busy running away to remote-poleax mom and dad! #monsterdon

#monsterdon not the martian choir again!

aaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAAA #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

and the sand turned back into grass. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#Monsterdon So you've made a theremin?

is he da brain surgeon? #monsterdon

Rick Astley Jr had a lot to do in the first half of this film, but his main task in this latter half seems to be Mope Under Tree. #monsterdon

that is so disappointing that the quicksand turned out to be an actual place instead of something cool like a warp tunnel to jupiter or nothing at all and this was all just mass hysteria #monsterdon

@amyfou He's very very professional, that's all #monsterdon

“I’ll jump down, but the rest of you use a rope that you’ve got right there.” #monsterdon

@moira I think it might be the same one that one of the Texas schools use for their football merch? Or maybe UMich, or UWisc?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon We don't have the bingo card tonight but I hope "creepy smile" was on their because that little girl's smile was creepy.

Cool alien hallway! Ahead of its time, it looks like a 70s scifi set

#Monsterdon

Wait, this isn't an alien lair, it's a Party City! #monsterdon

Man, Ward Cleaver there is a dab hand with a blunt instrument. #Monsterdon

are we gonna now beach comb for the martians? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom.

This is the most elaborate gender reveal party ever.

#monsterdon

@msh nah we watched that movie earlier

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

"...I'll find the Martians with this here vibrator"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

No stunt doubles for theses guys. #Monsterdon

WXBY, Pittsburgh's traffic and weather on the nines

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Jeeze. The lab has freakishly high ceilings and bare walls, too.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@Taweret it's somebody's birthday #monsterdon

there's a lot of balloons down here. the martians appear to be planning some sort of children's birthday party, sir

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon What kind of Hollywood intern designed that "lab" set?

#Monsterdon This poor kid. All the adults aren't listening and weird stuff is happening!!

#Monsterdon Shelling the sand, that couldn’t possibly backfire in any way.

Dr. Wilson is working on a new flavor of Skittles and must not be interrupted #monsterdon

how are the tanks going to get down that rope #monsterdon

a chamber of some sort? yeah, a chamber choir, we heard 'em earlier. #monsterdon

you mean

yes brad - a vibrator

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

My dad's a scientist with a (chemistry) lab so I can confirm that all this is perfectly accurate

#Monsterdon

@Taweret because balloons are fun. #Monsterdon

@Louisa that soldier walked a whole 5 feet from the explosives to set 'em off #monsterdon

@jonny@neuromatch.social It usually is, especially if there are subtitles.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@moira Mmm frothy #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Omg. An intelligent scientist! *Bang* RUN AWAY! No pause, no look out the window. Yay, scientist!

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 no, that's just the santorum

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

He's shooting the bongs! #Monsterdon

This isn't a serious military operation if they don't call in air support #monsterdon

why do the martian have balloons?

#monsterdon

🚨 Subterranean wall condom warning🚨

#InvadersFromMars
#Monsterdon 🦖

That's a lot of inflated condoms on the wall. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Did she get out and close the hood of the car? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon This car chase scene might be exciting if it was going faster than 30 mph.

military solutions work exactly like "surround the entire area with 100 tanks and 1000 men but also just send two guys with shovels in to do the actual thing" #monsterdon

Well so far I vastly prefer the 80s version cause my memory of it is being much smaller in scope and far scarier in implication.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Actually, I guess there's a general lack of goings-on in the movie, aliens or not.

Like, things are happening, but it feels so much like it's dragging.

#Monsterdon

The coronel is really a GI Joe, go Joe!
#monsterdon

This guy is doing the heck out of some science, just sciencing the night away #monsterdon

All these giant white sets seem like they should have Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse dancing through them

#Monsterdon

I’ll just step 10 feet away from the TNT that’ll be fine. #Monsterdon

I love how even with night-for-night they had to underdevelop the over-lit shots. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Well we blew the shit out of that fence post. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Roll that beautiful tank footage. Again.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I'm running late for #Monsterdon. Feel free to mute. :3

I was able to get through an entire chorus of Chappell Roan's "HOT TO GO" while that guy was running back to his car #Monsterdon

Goodnight Brainerd. I must find out what happens if you mix this red chemical with this blue chemical…

#Monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Man this film likes tanks. #Monsterdon

Very Star Wars informed opening credits. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

alternating between watching this on 1.5 speed to catch up with the tubi people and normal style to stick with the archive.org people and all i'm gonna say is that 1.5x speed is the right call for this movie #monsterdon

Cheese it, it's the humans!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow dad came back very mad! I know hitting kids was more acceptable in the 1950s but putting it in this movie to signal his altered state says it was less acceptable than before!

#Monsterdon nice hallway lab

How they are screeching tires on dirt?
#Monsterdon

My bong! you bastards! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

My lab teacher would be disappointed with the state of those bunsen burners.

Now you have me all excited for a chemistry scene! Probably not for another 2 minutes though...

#Monsterdon

At least the rocket’s okay #Monsterdon

My fave part so far is the “look at it from the alien’s point of view” comment. #Monsterdon

The doctor rocks! #Monsterdon

I don't know what good our tanks are going to do, but

#foreshadowing
#monsterdon

Meanwhile... SCIENCE. Midnight is the best time to do a science.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

the lab is very clearly the same hallway that was the police station earlier

come on now

#monsterdon

The General scampers really well. #Monsterdon

"Please god don't let mom and dad commit espionage and terrorism before they get found and then the aliens explode their brains."
*smokes thoughtfully*
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

What flavor of bong water should I try first? #Monsterdon

"Invaders from Mars" spent all their money on stock footage and couldn't afford to rent a backhoe.

#monsterdon

Sufferin' Cats is no doubt a reference to Mew Tants #monsterdon

what is that RESTRICTED AREA font, i kinda like it

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon Wow. Dad came back very angry and mean!

I would think there would be more head explodey from those alien links triggering a wipe.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

More tanks please! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Apparently if the tanks come at night, the highly advanced aliens won’t sense a thing!

the laboratory is in the back of the police station #monsterdon

Were they killed?

No they were killed #Monsterdon

He’s working on a man with blonde hair and a tan. #Monsterdon

Science is when you pour test tubes into beakers

#monsterdon
