Captain France there knows a lot about brain surgery doesn't he

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

This whole movie is like Elon’s wet dream. #Monsterdon

Movie.

Movie.

Mo-vie!

You get one montage at best.

One.

Not two.

And certainly not THREE.

#monsterdon

@rberlim I think they don't have to pay him as much as the adult actors #monsterdon

Looks like a tie-tack to me. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

👽 TRIVIA FROM MARS 🔴

This was actually one of the first science-fiction films in the 1950s, a peak scifi decade. Production continued until 1952 and it was released in early 1953.

The only one I can think of before this was "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951).

#Monsterdon 🦖

#monsterdon I don't really think this counts as ethereal. It sounds like a cross between a church choir and like a family sitcom opening

@cmdr_nova Depends, are they ticky-tacky? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Why do the boy is taking part on all the discussion and where are his Martian parents?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"If they had some sort of ray..."

"Like an X-ray?"

Okay, I'm now in high sarcasm mode.

F to Rinaldi, he died like he apparently lived: being a fool

#Monsterdon

Stock footage of loading up the army on flatbed cars.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Yes. Stab the sand with the butt of your rifle. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Sure, they got atomic weapons. But we have TRAINS! #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@SnoopJ It'll be that much more shocking when they are revealed to be alien ant lions #monsterdon

woah now the mysterons are showing up what the hell

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Where are the houses made of aluminum #Monsterdon

i think there's a speaker down there, that's what it is. #monsterdon

Was that the Martian boys choir that they heard?

#Monsterdon

He's been with my 30 years! Leave him! I've always hated that asshole. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Oh, the general's being played by one of the General Actors who always play generals. #Monsterdon

:ohno: we are defenceless against Infrared Rays! #Monsterdon

Man Versus Sand, the eternal struggle #monsterdon

Colonel that’s not Rinaldi‘s neck he’s sticking out. #Monsterdon

I'm starting to suspect my version might be ahead of everyone else's. #monsterdon

this guy was in WW2, and he's still in that trench warfare mindset. good luck to him. #monsterdon

@srol I mean where else were they supposed to stop? Hypnotism? LSD in the water?

#Monsterdon

That's right. Shoot your foot off. That'll help. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

General Mustache gets to wear his hat at a jaunty angle #monsterdon

#Monsterdon America! With tanks and trucks we are spreading democracy and the military-industrial complex.

#Monsterdon We are starting quite late because Pride Parade but now watching the intro credits which have promisingly dramatic music!

atomic infrared x-ray waves are really good for digging in quicksand #monsterdon

Where's a fighting machine when you one want to show up and destroy annoying kids?!?! #Monsterdon

wuh oh looks like Private Snafu's at it again! Let's watch what happens next!

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure

#Monsterdon

Oh, and sergeant gonna-be-a-hero is carrying an M1 carbine, a horribly useless piece of firearm.

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#ChooChoo ♥️🚂
#Monsterdon

I’m the General so I’m going to sit on the peak of this roof

#Monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Don’t go out there dude… #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe i read this in Tom Servo's voice #Monsterdon

Worm sighting!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

You know what these cops really need? A mime. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@RamenCatholic Foreign chanteuses singing torch songs too. Ah well, this just doesn't seem like that kind of film #monsterdon

IN-SUL-A-TION

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon oh no not infrared waves!

#Monsterdon “There’s no trap door there, something would show.” It’s covered with sand, genius.

rinaldi was apparently looking for that Self Sacrifice medal a little early. #monsterdon

you know a good defense against infra-red rays? ROCK WOOL.

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

"...no butts Major"
"Actually, the name's Frank."

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

"The next second she keeled over as if she'd been pole-axed"

That's uh, horrifically vivid, sir

#Monsterdon

Some sergeant thinking he's gonna be a hero and take the aliens with an M1? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#monsterdon I don't know why but assuming David survives the movie I'm kind of hoping he will be like FUCK SPACE and go become like a chiropractor.

These civil defense folks are pretty credulous - sort of unusual for a creature feature!

#monsterdon #SeeSomethingSaySomthing

this is the tight integration of the medical-scientific-military complex. the state doctor has the UFO scientist on speed dial who has the pentagon on speed dial. the corporate state is now the protagonist of the movie #monsterdon

#monsterdon

I capital-L love the music in this movie

@Zerofactorial @RamenCatholic needs more cowbell

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial I also appreciate Beach Party dance music for #Monsterdon

Just imagine taking someone else's kid up to the roof of a house.

#monsterdon

Uh oh, now the military thinks they can dig with X-Rays.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Dude pushes the general into the pit and stands arms akimbo like WHY YES I'M EVIL! #Monsterdon

wuh-oh the eee-awww-eee-awww music is back

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I like how the telescope can be depressed far enough to see the field behind George's house.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

We know things are bad, the scientist just loosened his tie!

#Monsterdon

If I had neighbors doing worrying things with rockets, I'd at least consider talking to them. Mr Ufology and the aliens both forgot about that option, it seems

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

(exciting music continues)
thanks for telling me, subtitles, because otherwise, i wouldn't know. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon What was with the superhero pose after he shoved him?

@RamenCatholic I like it better when #monsterdon films have bouncy jazz dance numbers

#Monsterdon Monster possession causes brain bleeding! First symptoms involve neck hematoma…

"...try to be exact"
"You see the sand?"
"Yep"
"Well, that's exactly where."

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Army taking the slow train.....will they arrive by the end of the film?

#Monsterdon

Magical seeing glasses. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

stock footage time.....

More money savings!

enhance!

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, good old-fashioned stock military footage. #monsterdon

Steam train of troops going somewhere other than America

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Yes. Generals are unpleasant. Just ask the privates.

And the general's mistresses.

Ah, now it’s the GI Joe theme song… #Monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Mew-Tants https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/317015/MewTants-DIGITAL-EDITION #monsterdon

Mew-Tants. That's a small floating pink psychic taint. And you can only get it by moving one specific truck. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon and it's HI HI HEE for the world war II stock film 🎶

God, how I loath kids in sci-fi movies. #Monsterdon

@srol Are YOU a scientist? Can you DISPROVE that hypothesis? Seems pretty solid to me. #monsterdon

What are all the tanks and army jeeps for? #monsterdon

marching music and tanks will fix anything #monsterdon

Tanks? What they really need is a fleet of Row Butts to battle the Mieu Tahnts #Monsterdon

Oh shit, we killing kids now? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

We'll spare no expense to show the fewest movie props possible. It's an ascetic. Not a funding issue.

Polexed? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

o/~ SO IT"S HI HI HEE
WITH THE FIELD ARTILLERY
WE ARE INVADERS PROUD AND STRONG
WHERE E'RE WE GO
YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW
THAT THE MARTIANS GO ROLLING ALONG o/~

#Monsterdon

Now we get the "Mu-Tants" line.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

yep there's the mu tants. i guess i need to turn my playback speed up to 1.5 and watch this on COFFEE MODE #monsterdon

most of movie in 3d, army footage flat as a pancake. checks out. #monsterdon

So trains. We'll be there in 3 days. #monsterdon

No you idiots. You don't order more troops into the area. Those troops become alien troops.

#monsterdon

Smart guy with a pipe. DRINK! #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon “Generals can get awfully unpleasant.” Maybe it’s something about the job…

"Can't be disproved, though. I'm a scientist."

THAT IS NOT HOW THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD WORKS! GOOD NIGHT! #Monsterdon

Lotta astronomy going on here... right next to UFO nonsense. Oh well it's mildly edutainmental.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

That's an awful lot of tanks a boy could get.
#Monsterdon
