#Monsterdon rinaldi noooooooooo

@guyjantic yeah, it started getting pretty dreamy i think starting with david just breaking into the alien base with no consequences and the lead human-alien being the teacher. if you watch it that was then stuff like the kung fu military guys and sudden competent military response starts to make more sense #monsterdon

Never have there been loewr stakes than David running away from 3 7-segment LEDs and stumbling parents.

And he's still running like he's doing the breaststroke underwater...

#monsterdon

Were pennies pure copper in 1986 or had they started using copper-coated zinc?

#Monsterdon

@brooke I thought that’s what he said, but I wasn’t sure. #Monsterdon

Not cool mom!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

They totally got Linda, didn’t they? #monsterdon

LOL fucking coward Marines all running past the kid

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon you're lucky David collects pennies because I'm pretty sure even in the 80s you could buy fuck all with one.

And it's not like the aliens would have a Take a Penny Leave a Penny

@floatybirb oh, they're illegal aliens? (I'm sorry that was awful) #Monsterdon

And that boy who never slept another day in his life grew up to be... Jeff Bezos.

#monsterdon

Skipper, Gilligan, you've got FIVE MINUTES

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon he's tapping on the glass like in the graduate

Movie exec: Someone needs to say "Great Scott"

Director: Just like Back to the Future?

Movie exec: Just like Back to the Future, which came out last summer, 1985. #monsterdon

Those coin op martians! What a deal! Back in the 80s you could get so much for just a cent

#Monsterdon

@guyjantic Yeah, well, that's something they wanted to carry over from the 1953 version I guess? #monsterdon

And now we reach the true message of the movie. #SaveThePenny

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

These marines seem pretty bad at their jobs

#Monsterdon "i'll fix you! you dick brain!" potty mouth kid

You look pensive, sir. Penny for your lazergun? #Monsterdon

"Great Scott doesn't anybody have a penny!?" #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

The alien weapon is coin-op and nothing will ever be better than this fact. #Monsterdon

"We don't carry loose change into combat, sir"

#Monsterdon

"Sorry sir, we're all Canadian."

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

"Great Scott, does anybody have a penny?"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

I'm kind of surprised this still got a PG rating instead of PG-13, especially with how much swearing is in it. But I guess it isn't too much worse than The Goonies, which also came out well after the PG/PG-13 split.

#monsterdon

Save the day, captain Curtis

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 #CaptainCurtis

So is this movie telling us that Ea Nassir was a martian?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon YES COPPER

Seriously? They're doing It Was All Just A Dream? Or even No, It Wasn't (indicated by some key piece of evidence the audience sees)?

#monsterdon

@cheribaker I would have thought they'd just march everywhere? oh I see, nevermind. #Monsterdon

i hope that general got paid in throat lozenges, because he does nothing but shout this entire movie. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Can you really be surprised they sealed off the entrance when you already knew they could move and bury the tunnels?

oh no im being menaced by papier mache!

#monsterdon

Somebody explain to me the point of having two keys that have to be turned simultaneously when one person can reach them both

...or maybe I don't want to know?

#Monsterdon

I wonder ELon Musk uses something like that for his Boring company? #monsterdon

I have no idea what is going on #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

The general's whole role is shouting MOVE MOVE MOVE at people. #Monsterdon

@trixter I would also accept Vincent Price #monsterdon

That one guy with the pseudo comic relief line, “I wasn’t trained for this.”

You most certainly were, dude.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Ea-nāṣir reference? That's how I know I'm on mastodon while watching this movie.

#Monsterdon

Always fun leaving a "fuck you" parting gift 💣

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@SnoopJ that's two-factor authentication, baby #monsterdon

IT'S THE SWEEPER RUN

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

@Zerofactorial I say this about most movies.

#monsterdon

AAAAAAAH!! We need to avoid the slowly rotating orange light thing!

#monsterdon

The return of tongue toad.

#monsterdon

maybe we could leave Linda behind? just as a little treat? #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial And a bit like his navigators, too!

Hell, even SciFi royalty is a bunch of inbred fucks, too

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon But tell me more about the copper even though I know this movie is Anti-copper propaganda!!!!

What this movie needs is Gamera #monsterdon

The bomb uses metric time?! #monsterdon

Is there a way to bring back someone who has been Martianified? #monsterdon

brain toad's dancers sacrificed themselves for the party

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

Man, these Martians do love their spotlights!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

swooped right on out like the credits #monsterdon

Did Hammer industries make that rocket launcher?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 #marvel

RIP Rinaldi. We barely knew you. #monsterdon

@akamran It's just a kink they have #monsterdon

Oh no. Someone's Saturn V rocket model caught fire.

#monsterdon

See, it's really teachers who want to control people.

#Monsterdon

I wonder how the aliens managed to build spaceships and mind control devices and beam weapons with those tiny little fingers tucked away on top of their bodies

#Monsterdon

There shoot the weak spot. I you gotta get the timing right

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon oh watching them insert a neck control thingy is properly *horrifying* i love it

Oh look it’s Rinaldi! #monsterdon

I love some good 80s lightning #monsterdon

Do the marines have skippers? Is his last name Skipper? #Monsterdon

@wohali "Fuh fuh FIVE HUNDRED?!" #WrongFranchise #IYKYK #Monsterdon

@trixter
they were condoms

#Monsterdon

The Poke a Needle Into a Prisoner's Neck machine sure moves _slow_, don't it?

#Monsterdon

DON'T LOOK MARIAN! #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

David, go back up there and smack that brain in the face again. That seemed to be very effective. #Monsterdon

hand drawn lightning!!

#monsterdon

i wonder how much of the aliens set was reused in this movie much like the original pumpkinhead suit was partially repurposed suits parts from aliens

#monsterdon

Something tells me they only had two Martian costumes and one ray gun prop that they kept reusing for each shot

#Monsterdon

Now, that's what I call some ball lightning.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Martians indulging in sounding play, in a pro pri ate! #monsterdon

The most menacing of photocopying

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Does mustering the troops involve doing something different than they're already doing #monsterdon

This General spends a lot of time shouting encouraging slogans to people. #monsterdon

Love me some hand-drawn lightning effects.

#monsterdon

yeah julliard doesn't really train you for movies like this

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

They're going to have a hell of a time talking over the world if it takes 15-20 minutes to lower the spine jabber for every person

#Monsterdon

They have Big Maser Breath yet they are still taken down by little earth bullets pretty weak man #Monsterdon

Was it eastabished how a 5th grader has a letterman jacket? I wasn't paying attention earlier.

#monsterdon

What? #monsterdon

Surprise!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 #CaptainCurtis

YOU DICK BRAIN!!!! #monsterdon

Oh! It took me a while to realize that I recognize James Karen (General Wilson) from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (where he played Frank)

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe denouement in a #monsterdon movie. Hope springs eternal.

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Also love that she first-name last-names him whenever he's in trouble

...and the bus is now empty except for a driver. #monsterdon

It's pewpew time!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

i dont know what the aliens are doing but i feel like we shouldn't be watching

#monsterdon

you can't make me care about an army man simply by having said his name while he fell haplessly into the sand pit, i don't need the ceremony for renaldi #monsterdon

pustulio! you've returned!

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

At least these martians have tentacles

Give the aliens all your pennies and they'll be satisfied and go away #monsterdon

Kai Winn is still pissed.

#Monsterdon

How closely are these things related to the good throat-singing dudes in Dark Crystal?

#monsterdon
