@Taweret Because there is annoying music playing in the background 90% of the time? #Monsterdon

Police, useless. Of course. 😒
Unless you're a sand alien, I guess.

#Monsterdon

Whoa, the 1950s called and they want their child abuse back.

Followed immediatly by saying my wife is causing trouble.

Oooh boy, I hate him already.

#Monsterdon

Kid's got a lot of optics, for a kid!

#monsterdon

if i were an alien pretending to be a human, i would simply not speaking in a weird conspicuous monotone but that's just me

#monsterdon

SUGAR. IN WATER. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

WTF #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Ah, THERE'S the child abuse. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

that was my phat Men in Black reference for cool millennials #monsterdon

@_L1vY_ I was wondering the same. Odd. #Monsterdon

Alien asshole bodysnatcher really needs coffee to sustain itself. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Mars needs coffee #monsterdon

#monsterdon He looks so PISSED OFF maybe their marriage IS on the rocks

Dad now has real Rip Torn energy.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

There's something I want to show you.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Since Jackson fell in, is this now Jackson’s Hole?

He’s going to call her a silly fat cow isn’t he? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Obviously & period. I said period! I went to see the neighbor in my sex robe and Michael Jackson shoe.

#Monsterdon Countdown to ads. :/

This is exactly why you should always write your name on your flashlight.

#monsterdon

"I said 'period'" I guess he's on his period? #monsterdon

there's a real neat hole I think you'll like
#monsterdon

#monsterdon “There goes the coffee.”

is kevin bacon gonna come to save the day? #monsterdon

What was Bill Wilson doing wearing your pajamas? #Monsterdon

Holes don't usually make a dissonant singing sound, right?

#monsterdon

Are we to believe the whole absorbed George (dad)?#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe A George suit instead of an Edgar Suit #monsterdon

George, where are you and why is there a large avant-garde choir singing in the back yard?

#monsterdon

Director: Really sell it. Really sell that you’re falling into a hole. Throw your arms up or something. #Monsterdon

"Any chance for a cup of coffee?"
MUSIC STING!
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

OBVIOUSLY. gosh #monsterdon

Face jump scare #monsterdon

Heh, George is being worn like a bad suit. There's a giant cockroach piloting him :P #Monsterdon

What happened to your neck?

You hush and take your blue pill, son.

#monsterdon

okay, aliens snatching people from underground is kind of a neat idea. its something different

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

The coffee is why I joined the police force.

#Monsterdon Cops are not helpful. So far the most realistic bit.

Send. More. Cops. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Dad...is almost certainly no longer Dad #monsterdon

Just having a nice path through the grass of your back yard that leads to...sand pits.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What is it about Scientists that would lend themselves to disappearing? Is he like a whistleblower?

#Monsterdon

They hired Caligari & Som as their landscapers

#monsterdon martians say ACAB

#monsterdon The path over the hill was extremely suspicious.

#Monsterdon Head injuries cause changes in personality. This is pretty extreme.

As a kid I was terrified of doodlebug holes because of this very scene out by the fence

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

where can i get a job as a comic book professor #monsterdon

"You know how these scientists are."

#monsterdon

Okay, 2 cops, that is making me more sympathetic to the Martian TBH
#Monsterdon

And so, to a great choral clamor, George was assumed into the heavenly #monsterdon host, amen.

#Monsterdon teaching about the perils of dry quicksand.

You know how these scientists are sometimes. #monsterdon

It (sand) Came from Venus! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Are the aliens singing? If so that's cool. that's how I want all aliens to be like this.

At least he died with all the dignity he deserved :P #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Put all the sugar in the coffee, mom.

You know how these scientist are…

Uh what?

#Monsterdon

"My husband is a ___ not a common ___"

Can anyone fill in the blanks I missed? It sounds like it was funny...

#Monsterdon

@brooke Do they make secrets there? #monsterdon

I already lost track of it but there was a toot with movie trivia saying that the cinematography is weird because the movie was originally planned to be in 3D but they couldn't get a 3D camera #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Alan Hale Jr. there IS THE LAW :P #Monsterdon

George is in Brigadoon now

#Monsterdon

@jpaskaruk I'm waiting for my cat to decide to get off my lap, then I can have my Sunday drugs. Until then, I'm dangerously sober for #Monsterdon

Give me sugar.

In water.

#monsterdon

9:30 we have coffee mention! WOOOO!
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Run! Run from the matte painting! #monsterdon

thank god the boys got abducted, now mom can finally get some housekeeping done in peace #monsterdon

Mrs. McClane where is Bruce Willis #monsterdon

I too would run away if I went out onto the moor and was met with an aggressive orchestral movement.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

oooh eerie choral music and beautiful outdoor sets! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Edgar?

Here comes the fuzz. Aliens leading with 3, now.

#monsterdon

Watch out, antlions! #monsterdon

The wife's a real idiot #monsterdon

Don’t go go out there Dad…

#monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Is anyone else hoping that the aliens are actually The Far Side-esque bipedal bovines?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I just realized the parents sleep in separate twin beds.

Their property borders the shire iirc. #Monsterdon

"the plant" huh, so dad's already been assimilated, is what i'm hearing. #monsterdon

Back in the 1950s people woken from a sound sleep in the middle of the night retained the power to speak in complete paragraphs #monsterdon

the martians will hug him and squeeze him and call him george

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

That is a great sound stage shot. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

"...be vewwy vewwy quiet, I'm hunting Wussians!"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon

Who has secret government plant and work for the government on their bingo card?

@Taweret From what I've learned from old TV, 1950s dads were always performatively condescending to their kids.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon this is actually really nicely shot

#Monsterdon And he leaves the set and walks off into the matte painting....

Is that the path to the Pet Sematary?

#monsterdon

there have been rumors that an alien spacecraft might land in your neighborhood???

#monsterdon

Ugh, I sort of miss the day at night filming of previous movies. This is like watching a modern "prestige" show and I can't see anything :blobcateyes:

#Monsterdon

I remember that fence! This movie gave me nightmares

#monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars

Honey, if I don’t come back, remember: the lawn needs mowing and the aliens need a good talking-to. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Good thing I'm on my Sunday drugs

#Monsterdon

God i love how dorky the dad is.

"The thing you walk on outside between the sky and the underground. But that's not important right now."

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

I don't know a lot about film, but I'm assuming it's the colorization process that makes this child look like he's 95 years old in wide shots? #monsterdon

She wore red lipstick that bright and perfect curls to bed and at 4am it all still looks this perfect? Sus.
