don't punch the brain toad. the brain toad is awesome

#monsterdon

I like how the creatures back feet are pumps #monsterdon

If I was Krang that is exactly how I would retort to his pleading

#monsterdon

I guess if they're from Mars, the desire for copper kinda checks out. Like, all of their technology is probably based on iron refined from regolith, right?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Mars needs spare change!

#Monsterdon Mrs. McKeltch clearly likes this more than teaching she can stay

Why do I get the impression that she was like this before she got mind controlled

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@peltast would go well with the overcooked bacon

#Monsterdon

Louise is In Charge Here, as she should be. #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @ramsey Wenches? Where? #monsterdon

Louise Fletcher having a lot of fun tormenting a child. #monsterdon

Alien walks in high heels! Bold fashion choices from outer space #monsterdon

#monsterdon Just for the record, about an hour ago when I was saying "stab him stab him stab him" I did not _specifically_ mean "in the back of the neck with a drilling alien horse-needle", just so we're clear.

the big brain reminds me of the human-faced pumpkinhead in the first pumpkinhead movie, also by stan winston

#monsterdon

@ramsey Maybe wenches are more interested in the down direction. #Monsterdon

They wear high heels! #monsterdon

"Can I talk to you?" "It does seem unavoidable"

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

"C'mon get outta there" - great leadership there, General #monsterdon

Wait did the biology teacher get promoted to Deputy Alien Overlord already? That was quick

#Monsterdon

Yeah let me get a good widf of that right sulfur dioxide right from the source

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

ah, there he is! nice to see you again, Zorg (or whoever). #monsterdon

The alien servants are just this boss from Blaster Master :D #Monsterdon

Seriously they came all the way to earth just to swipe some copper? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i like that when they used the bazooka it blew one up and got alien guts on them

we haven't heard the alien's case for why it's good to get mind controlled yet. as far as we know it's like an eternal peace, constant euphoria, mental paradise, one with all the other mind controlled people kind of mind control. it wouldn't take much in the way of promises to let an alien species jack my shit up, probably better than whatever i got goin on in here #monsterdon

Those wenches aren’t very good and pulling up the soldiers. #Monsterdon

If you're going to run across the sand you have to do so with random strides, everyone knows that #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Seriously though I hope this movie ends with the teacher losing her teaching license. she can't blame everything she did on aliens

NASA guy is interviewing the walls. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon *zap* oh well

DAMN JOHN WHORFIN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON!

#Monsterdon
#InvadersFromMars1986

Oh my, that looks fatal 💉

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Again, great quicksand effect, just perfect! #monsterdon

That went deep. #Monsterdon

Just like getting an ear ring at the mall.

#Monsterdon

And THAT'S how you blow up little alien kaiju!

#Monsterdon

The Martian has organic stilettos? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the scientist wants to talk to them <3

#Monsterdon Am I supposed to think of like a powerdrill / screwdriver because that's what I think of here

"...you'll feel a little pinch"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@Taweret The remake we need is this story from their point of view #monsterdon

@whknott @Lazarou I do always say, the best stories start with bad decisions

And look at the story we're watching now

...on second thought maybe "best" isn't the right word

#Monsterdon

Louise Fletcher has a PHD in Peering Menacingly Through Windows #Monsterdon

@Crazypedia So, we all know that The Marshmallow Test was a deeply flawed study, right?

I think I have an idea for how we run a similar test and produce more accurate results...

#monsterdon
#UnethicalMedicalResearch

enter Rinaldi of Borg

#Monsterdon

The drones have high heels on their back feet. Could this movie possibly get better? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Their eye stalks wilt when they die

Uh oh he's being matrixified #monsterdon

They’re avenging Rinaldi, so that’s fair #monsterdon

General Wilson should have been played by Dick Miller #monsterdon

is it wearing heels? #monsterdon

No no, you've got the giant probe aimed far too high.

Did we learn nothing from South Park?

#monsterdon

...General Obvious over here #Monsterdon

@Lazarou So. many. bad. decisions.

#monsterdon

also like the 60's version, i am finding myself having absolutely no idea what the plan is here #monsterdon

That is like the best reaction shot to monsters in the history of movies.

#monsterdon

Aw, why'd you have to go and frag the beasties? #monsterdon

Friendly fire incident!

#monsterdon
#decapitation
#PeopleGettingEaten

I just remembered how there were multiple versions of the original film with different endings. I wonder which way this version will go. #monsterdon

Having another Being Reminded of Elder Scrolls stuff moment here, because the Martians _totally_ look like this critter:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Alit

#Monsterdon

Chuck a Nukacola in there

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Oh no the tiny martian hands with their tiny martian pincers

I would think those marines would put a little more pep in their step considering how many explosives they just dropped off

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon David! Jerry! Margaret! Why am I just screaming random first names!

kevin bacon did it with only one stick of dynomite, mr general. #monsterdon #wrongMovie

indi

gestion

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

GET OUTA THERE

(nope)

#monsterdon

Is that Eisenhower on the wall? Lol #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

five marines enter, no marines leave. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Guessing they didn't re-use the "hit 'em in the puss" line in this one because it's more of a kids film and the connotations had changed in the intervening decades...

Did he just casually assume the gender of the giant brain?

#monsterdon

TAKE YOUR CHANCES WITH THE BATTLEWHEEL

#monsterdon

Like the original film, I find myself asking why was this child involved in this phase of the operation? #monsterdon

Walk without rhythm and you won't attract a worm. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

if only we had foreseen the kid being upset about his parents brains exploding

#monsterdon

Hey everyone! What'd I miss? 😆
Made it for the last minutes!

Love the creatures and the guts flying after being shot!

#Monsterdon

Kid's changing his name to Leeeeeroy Jenkins!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

@Taweret That's a #monsterdon tradition

That’s a Sarlacc! #monsterdon

@Taweret TBH I think that was basically Men In Black

#Monsterdon

Didn't clear the backblast area either. Basic training for these guys must have been murder.

#monsterdon

this school nurse is USELESS. when does she get eaten.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon These creatures look like they're henchmen under Jabba's palace, just waiting to get sliced in half by a Jedi.

Marine Corps confirmed to stink! "Let's reek on these tunnels!"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Director feeling obliged to cut back to the worst characters for a bit

#Monsterdon

The lesson of this movie is that soldiers are great and teachers suck.

#Monsterdon

About time for another Interefering Child Moment, isn't it? #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ It was! I ran it for years!

#Monsterdon

Is that like Waluigi's dong or something #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

ESS EE TEE EYE

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE

#Monsterdon

If they understand him then why did he need to spell SETI

If they don't understand him then what is the point of spelling SETI

#Monsterdon

That's an interesting illuminated, rotating, bladed penis. #monsterdon

Marines: "Okay, so if we meet any more of those things we are definitely going to kill them."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon We need a rival SETI organization called YETI.

YEET
Extra
Terrestrial
Intelligence

absolutely excellent "pop out snakes from a pringles can gag" alien guts #monsterdon

these creature effects really deserved a better movie

#monsterdon

Bazooka!

#monsterdon

"We're the police, we're here to help" should strike fear in the heart of any normal person.

#monsterdon

Rubber guts! Rubber guts for days!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

I’m not sure about this entire operation. Do they even know what the enemy looks like? What type of weaponry they use? Or are they just like, winging it? #monsterdon
