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

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

#Monsterdon

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

You most certainly were, dude.

#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

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

The return of tongue toad.

#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

@trixter
they were condoms

#Monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon

DON'T LOOK MARIAN! #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

hand drawn lightning!!

#monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

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

#Monsterdon

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

alas, rinaldi, we -- didn't know him much at all in this version, i could've used more General/Rinaldi bromance in this version. #monsterdon

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

No not Ranoldi!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Did he call the SMI “dick brain”? If so, 🧑‍🍳. #Monsterdon

nom nom noms

#Monsterdon

not, not rinaldi! #monsterdon

That lady's hella tough still screaming after she's most of the way down the alien gullet. Although what were his teeth for if he's just swallowing whole?

#monsterdon

I can see a meme in the alien minion laughing

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#monsterdon Alien brain had bad gas... a bit of burp-up and he's feeling much better now.

Real marines would have leveled the guy the instant he raised a gun in their direction, right?

#monsterdon

(likely after trying to reason with it and explain that playing nice and being respectful are good too, if previous play throughs are any indication.) #monsterdon

That was almost as good as The Creeping Terror feeding. #monsterdon

Some serious zombie Threed music in this scene. #Monsterdon

I want to hear more alien throat singing. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial I had cats like that! #Monsterdon

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE

PLEASE LET LINDA BE ALIVE

#Monsterdon

"Linda! Nurse Mommy!" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Don't just stand there and yell at her kid. DO SOMETHING! Jeez!

They ate the old b!tch I'm definitely on Team Mars now #Monsterdon

@yatsu Martian-human hybrid wearing heels? #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

oh wow okay little guy with the improv blackjack, he'd've done well as a street urchin in the '30s

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

Okay, Kai Winn met with a stickier end than I had anticipated.

#Monsterdon

so this version is leaning into the "it's all david's dream" ending by making the human leader his teacher right. #monsterdon

i too, will one day reach the end of BG3 and punch mother brain right on their, uh, frontal cortex? i guess? #monsterdon

Hell yeah fight the power and arm yourself kids

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

They couldn't vore the NASA guy but they'll vore Louise Fletcher? She's working for them! #monsterdon

Well.

That's one way to go.

Oddly satisfying that.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon She's being eaten like she ate the frog it's the circle of life

Unexpected gratuitous vore!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

That was a great creepy laugh.

#Monsterdon

...Well that was random. #Monsterdon

That's what I'm talking about!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars #CheckovsMaw

With the blond hair, light skin, and beige clothing it's like they came ready to camouflage in with the sand. #monsterdon

We are violent little primates, you know.

#Monsterdon
