@RobynGoodfellow let the Invaders from Mars abolish the police one by one #monsterdon

You tell the chief he can fuck off. #monsterdon

"Let's take the star Wolf 359."
Take it out for a date? Oh my.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

hey that's actually interesting, i didn't know they had photos of andromeda in 1953 #monsterdon

"This is WJ738" ... that has secret society all over it.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon She doesn't know what Saturn is? SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SATURN IS?!

WJ-738? What the hell kind of exchange is that even in 1953?

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon

A spaceship! Of course it's from outer space!

That astronomer's suit looks cozy af, except it's probably wool and itchy as fuck! #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#monsterdon I'm glad the Health Department is helping but I feel like CPS would be better

@amyfou 🔥 🦖

#Monsterdon 🦖

I want to know what that photo is in the observatory office. Coalsack?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

anybody else remembering Corky St. Clair? Nothing ever happens on Mars

#monsterdon

You tell the Chief he can sit and spin. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

all the sets in this movie are so weird and expressionistic (except the home which is boring)

#monsterdon

“I just wanted a little alone time with Young David.” #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ...and introducing Pete Buttigieg as the astronomer.

Aw, for a second there I was hoping he'd start drawing on that big blank wall. #Monsterdon

George has morphed into evil Adam West.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

That old polio excuse #monsterdon

the only people who are safe in this movie are those that don't think quicksand is cool, so everyone is fucked #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

He's been reading more than trashy sci-fi magazines.

Good thing vaccinations weren't a thing or that alibi wouldn't work for keeping the kid.

Polio kid. Get him an iron lung stat!

Where did the transatlantic accent come from all of a sudden? #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie It was great! I wish I could do that!

(preferably without aliens taking over my body, but if that's what it takes...)

#Monsterdon

He's my favorite astronomer!

-I smell a crossover w/ My Favorite Martian!

#monsterdon

did that lady just break the 4th wall? #monsterdon

She's locking him in?! #Monsterdon

Gonna keep five copies of everything just so I can say quinnnnntuplicate #Monsterdon

The state intervening here is COMMUNISM #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

But I have to obey the rules 🙄

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon damn these police station ceilings and doors are tall

"Is it alright if I use this phone?"

"Sure."

[Crunches]

#monsterdon

Once again, the only people you can trust are the CDC. #Monsterdon

@SRLevine she smashed the 4th wall. #Monsterdon

what is up with this police station hallway, is this how you get to purgatory? why is it so sterile? #monsterdon

so we're supposed to see this kid getting kidnapped by the state as a good thing #monsterdon

Steel wool ass suit #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Ok, I'll bite. Why are you wearing a red construction paper pentagram pinned to your lapel, Doc? #monsterdon

Stu has a crazy sparkly star suit!

#monsterdon

Did his mom just wink at the audience without actually winking?

#Monsterdon

that look into the cam was a bit weird and unnerving #monsterdon

I was gonna mock them for leaving the key in the door, but she just pushes the door open and walks out. So I guess that's what they planned to do. #monsterdon

Ohhhhhh dear. Mom's a Martian! And eeeeeeeeeevil, you can tell by her SEVERE BLACK DRESS.

#Monsterdon

The Mom in black the Doctor in white. SYMBOLISM! #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon

Does everyone have the phone number to this secret government lab?

These shots where they play up the angles and proportions are such hilariously gimmicky 3D bullshit #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Mom's been possessed.

This shit is happening faster than Blackula.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon he closed the cell but left the key in it

Maybe the kid's scared because you LOCKED HIM IN A CELL.

#Monsterdon

@amyfou SPACE CLOCK

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

what the heck rules say they have to keep a kid in a cell???

#Monsterdon

@Taweret USA! USA! USA!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Can I see the back of your neck?” Yes kid, that will definitely convince her of your sanity.

The forced perspective of that cell is making me a little dizzy.

#Monsterdon

"A doctor is like a minister you can tell them anything" except doctor is one of those pesky mandated reporters #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Gonna give David some points for figuring out how to determine an alien fairly quickly.

Oops. I'll be right back. WITH A NECK BACK HICKEY!

#monsterdon

The places on this movie all look weird.
#Monsterdon

Of COURSE the coppers got him 😠

#Monsterdon

"I know they're under there, but I don't know what they do to people." I say the same thing about my downstairs neighbors. #monsterdon

Mom's got a black dress on, she's evil now. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon he’s now asked the kid “what’s biting you?” and told the doc “something’s eating him?” What’s up with his obsession with food?

Wait, I step out to go get dinner out of the oven and now the kid is in jail!?

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 It's sci-fi, after all...
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe A consequence is this being planned for 3D, before not being able to get 3D cameras at the last minute. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

i'm kind of in awe of all these police station sets but it's like why, are they saving the budget for something else? but police station sets are not exactly expensive.

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Police Chief A.C. Barrows should be named A. C. A. Barrows so the initials work #monsterdon

DID David tell her about the "back of the neck" telltale? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did they used to jail kids for truancy in the 50s?

#Monsterdon

If the kid was past puberty he'd be asking to see more than just the back of her neck.

Doctors are sort of like ministers, you can tell them anything.

THEY HAD LADY DOCTORS IN THE 1950s?!?!?!

#Monsterdon

Lol why is the police receptionist(?) sitting in a sterile white room like a movie depiction of the afterlife

#Monsterdon

Can I see the back of your neck?

Kid, I don't know what you've heard about how things work in jail, but...

#monsterdon

A reasonable cop? Ignoring orders and getting medical help? What the actual fuck? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

"Doctors are sorta like ministers. So you can tell me anything." Ummm...
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon

Alright they lock the kid up and now there's peaceful music playing and a serene scene at the police station. And ooo, lala. The doctor that shows up is cute!!

Why's this little kid gotta carry this entire film himself? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon It’s not at all suspicious that the Chief speaks slowly and tonelessly.

"Oh gee"
"Stop cussin'"
they were built different then
#monsterdon

#monsterdon This seems like a story about GangStalking

David McLane, sir. You ever hear of a little song called American Pie? Duh?

#Monsterdon

all those little marks on the back of the necks are the icepick scars

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon this is back when “scientist” was a title

Maybe this act by the desk sergeant will...save the world!
#monsterdon

Y'all I think the police chief is already an alien #monsterdon

@blue The tonal shifts between big bombast & gentle pastoral is quite nice, as well

#monsterdon

Sure, kid, and next you'll tell us the Martians are here for our Wi-Fi passwords. #monsterdon

Are we gonna have a kid launch a prison break? #Monsterdon

Damn Martians must be Communist #monsterdon

acab dog you can't arrest a kid like that #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I see what Philip K. Dick was working with when he wrote "The Father-Thing"

Dad does not look well. #Monsterdon

ACAM, kid. #Monsterdon

Is the chief gonna backhand him too? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Yes, David. Let's talk alone. Bare your neck, please.

#monsterdon

Holy shit it’s Mr. Posner. #Monsterdon

@brooke That's just what Kathy wants them to do #monsterdon

lol the police station #monsterdon

Oh boy. Chief is definitely converted too #monsterdon

The dad's facial expressions and mannerisms now are giving Edgar-suit from Men In Black vibes

#Monsterdon

are you sure you're a doctor? you're haaawt

#monsterdon
