does this mean we have to watch it on infinite loop and it never ends? Maybe it was a dream but Orb Alien is REAL #monsterdon

Run! Run! Everybody run!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Good times on #Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #InvadersFromMars, from 1953, wasn't all about greenie meanies, though there were plenty of those! We also had,
- Dry quicksand!
- Grumpy doppelgängers!
- Mew-tants!
- Exploding brain devices!
- Sufferin' Cats and Holy Mackerels!
- A big kaboom!

I guess I'm the fool for watching the whole movie, because these last couple minutes would've told me all I needed to know

#Monsterdon

Final shot is David looking into a snowglobe #monsterdon

ohhh NOT just a dream in this version! he just goes to bed #Monsterdon

Oh no, they wizard-of-oz'd the whole thing.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon maybe it really was a dream? I mean your parents aren't trying to hit you

Running so fast they had to speed up the recording #Monsterdon

Getting a full recap of this child's trauma. #monsterdon

hit em right in the WHAT? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Clear ploy to extend the runtime of this movie. Along with the stock footage. 🎥

@jonny Yeah, I got distracted and it would be sort of helpful to have that so I could figure out what just happened for the last 45 minutes.

#Monsterdon

"And you were there too aunt June" AAAOOOOOUUUUUaaaaaoooooOoooaabhhBbbHHHHHHH #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

oh my god why is it like this #monsterdon

not even sure where the stock footage tank is even supposed to be in relation to everything else #Monsterdon

Kid's stuck in a time loop.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Gee Wizzzz?? I'd have gone with "Oh For Fuck's Sake" #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

ok, so the kid is a prophet instead? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Oh man, the kid gets to use the space ray? I'm super jealous, I want my very own lava gun! #Monsterdon

Geez. how many close-ups of the kid running are we going to get? #Monsterdon

The entire movie just flashed before David’s eyes.

#monsterdon

My eyes are rolling at this cheap cop out ending, but my shoulders are glad they can stop tensing up now #monsterdon

Ohhhhh I was wondering if this was going in the "IT WAS ALL A DREAM" direction--BUT NOOOO WHAT A TWIST

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I want someone to shout MY APES as the line goes down

The Martians have Krumhorn technology #monsterdon

Wow - just under two minutes is what I have left in my player too

#monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars

This flashback dream vision ending is very surreal

#Monsterdon

so the kid dreamed like 20 minutes of stock footage of tanks?

#monsterdon

Ah yes, the general and Renaldi. A romance the world was not ready for yet. #Monsterdon

FACE, he was using that term in the sense meaning FACE. 😂

#Monsterdon

lmao does the tubi version end with a recap i gotta check that out #monsterdon

We've been Newharted.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon oh no, not one of these endings

#Monsterdon Kid, when you’re running for your life, you don’t have time to be distracted by flashbacks of things that happened fifteen minutes ago.

Oh, fuck you movie. #Monsterdon

i admit i have not been "paying attention" to this film, but even i did not need a solid 5 minute recap of a 119 minute film. #monsterdon

Quick, shine a red light on it!

#monsterdon

This kid's PTSD montage is kinda bumming me out #monsterdon

@ramsey You have any idea how long it takes to get into & out of those costumes?

Fun fact (that I just made up): after this movie, the SAG added a contract clause that any costumes that take more than 15 minutes to take off, have to have a butt flap.

#monsterdon

Ooooowa.... oooooowwaa... Hawaiiii. #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

and then David turned into a space fetus #monsterdon

Did he say hit em right in the puss #Monsterdon

The movie is really just rubbing it in by reminding us of all these scenes we already had to sit through. GET ON WITH IT

#Monsterdon

what has happened to the color and the sound are we hallucinating #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars
Bacon anyone?

@otheorange_tag #Monsterdon No fire, no electricity, just artillery.

WE JUST WATCHED THIS, WHY ARE YOU SHOWING US AGAIN #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Flashbacks in case you forgot what you just watched.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Erm, we'll just skip over how Sgt Rinaldi got up the ladder.

#monsterdon

The kid running & remembering scene is out of a nightmare

It also is great padding

#monsterdon terdon

The boy's running and giving us a whole recap of the film? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Countdown updates and pulsing music … fail to build notable tension, mostly because I have no reason to care about any of these characters.

@aprilfollies Did they try fire?!... they didn't did they? #StillBitter #Monsterdon

"...I do not like Green Martians and Ham! I do not like them Sam I am!"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

lol the sped-up footage of them running away from the site of the ship is very silly

#Monsterdon

this scientist scene in the pristine ivory tower tucked inside of a grimy military base and then the sand anussed dad turning all terrorist, ready to kill him is really something.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

AaaaaooooooaaaaoOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAOOOOOUUUuuuuuuuuaaaaoooo #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Why is the movie flashing before our eyes again? #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Okay I guess Orb alien did bring more than two Myu-tents.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Why did the general assume the kid knew how to work the deathray?

#monsterdon

oh THERE'S the ooo-oooo-oooo-ooo-ooo-OOO-ooo chorus, that's another one down

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@amyfou These are trained actors who learned stuff like that in school #monsterdon

They keep using these shots of Mew Tants in the tunnels but none of them ever seem to get anywhere. Are they lost? #Monsterdon

Remember me fondly, kid #Monsterdon

Right in the puss eh?

Well.

#Monsterdon

@lapis @Taweret From your mouth to Rule 34's ear. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

#Monsterdon Patriotic music montage? Drink!

@blue These guys have never kissed a girl, or had biology? #Monsterdon

If they blow up the subterranean lab to kingdom come, that's not going to affect the property value on the McLean house, is it? #monsterdon

@ramsey They've filled their Mew Pants. #Monsterdon

You've got less than 5 minutes for denoument. Make shit happen, marines. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

How’s the guy in the snowglobe take a piss #Monsterdon

“hit ‘em right in the puss” hasn’t aged well #monsterdon

@bunnyhero Martian Orb Snoglobe #Monsterdon swag when? I want!

Going "sky high" is what spaceships do

#monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon Telescopes for space viewing don't usually have the ability to angle towards the ground so they??

@lapis Apes are only from the champaign region of France?! #ChecksNotes #Monsterdon

Reb bubbles! #Monsterdon

The balloons shook as the green dudes ran past them. #Monsterdon

"..right in the what?"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon “This place is crawling with those big apes.” Do you mean the aliens or the military, sir?

@srol You can leave through the asymetric ladder, though. #Monsterdon

"hit them right in the puss" he says

#monsterdon

Right in the puss with a grenade! #monsterdon

I think the second Martian Mew-tant just fell off the set... Was this set safe?
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Hit em right in the what now? #monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

The humans must never take possession of our Snow Globe leader #monsterdon

Also, how come all these army dudes talk like Robin?

#monsterdon

So, I guess the walls of these caves are kind of bubbly because they were melted with a ray and then re-solidified.

Did the scenery guys just not make enough of those sculpted cave walls and just have to improvise with spray-painted balloons?

#monsterdon

Those mut-ants run like I do (derogatory) #monsterdon

Shortest grenade fuse, ever. #Monsterdon

womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp womp

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#monsterdon uh technically unless they are earthlings they are probably not related to apes

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars “mu-tants”

@srol Truly they have reached the pinnacle of civilization. #monsterdon

BUG BREACH DETECTED. #monsterdon #invadersfrommars

Please say the kid gets blown up. #Monsterdon

AWWW! Little puppets plunging to their doom.
