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

#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

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

@SnoopJ It was! I ran it for years!

#Monsterdon

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

Shai Hulud from Mars #monsterdon

bazooka kill, nice
#monsterdon

Not Rinaldi! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon that'll teach you to be part of SETI

Now, I'm no entrail physics expert or anything, but ...

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

nooo Rinaldi!!! 😨 #monsterdon

Eh, it would've been cooler if he got vored #monsterdon

Yeah, you earned that one, dumbass. #Monsterdon

"YEAH"

"BUT YOU'RE BORING" [melts Bud]

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

"They do understand me! Now let me turn my back to them so they can destroy me! :D" #Monsterdon

"we must study and befriend them" being introduced a little too late by both the kid and the scientist guy. at the point when we are one military casualty down and have like a whole division deployed #monsterdon

General sure likes Rinaldi. Nice to see a movie that has no trouble with bromance
#monsterdon

You should have given the alien a freak'n zagnut, dude

#monsterdon

That echoing effect is helping make this scene. #monsterdon

Eat him already!!! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon many tanks, boys

The sand pit trap looks kind of fun if there weren't evil aliens at the bottom of it

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Not Rinaldi! Who will make hot plates of pasta! Oh the humanity!

"They do understand me!"

WOW Nice effect.

#monsterdon

I want that guy's comfy-looking forehead gel thing.

#monsterdon

hollywood thinks cgi is better than this. hollywood is wrong

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Bud Cort with a receding hairline and a stache. 💔

Oh good we're going to try talking

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

I thought the Marines were going to kill Martians??? Who let the egghead into the line of fire?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon My neck hurts just watching that dad drink coffee.

Why did he bring a rocket launcher into the tunnel if he's going to pull out his .45 first time he sees something? Dang, dumb enough to be a Marine.

#monsterdon

Moustache guy getting vored, right? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon How DOES he know they're boys?

"How does he know they're boys?"

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Oh no Jim Henson's on one of their bad Trips Again

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

You've seen aliens for the first time - it's amazing!

Now, the Marines are going to kill them.

#Monsterdon

Welp, time for the scientist to get eaten. #Monsterdon

PURE EVIL FROM ACROSS THE EIGHTH DIMENSION

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

It feels like the General and Rinaldi were… close. #Monsterdon

“The PKE meter shows a class 4 specter approaching.” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I would LOVE to wear one of those alien costumes. I wouldn't have to make eye contact, it'd be great

You might think it's weird that a General is giving instructions to individual members of the infantry

but there *is* a joke that the smallest maneuver element of the Marines is a battalion, so

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Check that those marines are secure! Reach around if you have to! Make them happy! We must beat Ed at his own game! ;)

loving that the horror section was all detuned synthesizers but now we're in the action part and the symphony is engaged #monsterdon

What I find fascinating about this movie is that the director seems to think that kid is a really good actor, and I couldn’t disagree more. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "marines have no qualms about killing martians!" 😬

@akamran no kidding, the tank must be able to fly or something

#Monsterdon

ITS THE BATTLE WHEEL FROM BATTLEDOME

#monsterdon

The sand pit reminds me of the cavern in The Stuff. Now that was a good movie #monsterdon

One of my favorite things about the Michael Chricton novel Sphere is the idea that the US military has a million contingency plans for all these wild outlandish situations. But because you can't plan for a situation you don't understand, those plans suck and are mostly based on fiction. I'd love to see a sequence of the US military putting their "in case of Martian body snatchers" plan into action sequence. #monsterdon

This kid is trying to play it cool but he's so psyched to see the military blow up his neighborhood #monsterdon

Oh Ronaldi!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#monsterdon oh no, they got they cute guy!

@lorgonumputz On into the 90s as well! Dja ever see that reality show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

#monsterdon

All soldiers listened to Kate Bush and decided to run up that hill #monsterdon

lol, the soldiers just falling around now like clowns #Monsterdon

Well that told him...

I super want them to have the wrong sand pit. I want them to go to all this trouble and expense and then go, "Oh. Wait. The one down the street. Pack it up, boys!" #Monsterdon

Did they see any R.O.U.Ses down there?

#monsterdon
#PrincessBride

so much for lt. macguyver

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Strange that our pennies aren't made out of copper anymore.

Really makes ya think, huh?

#Monsterdon

the ARMY MAN TIME is actually hitting pretty different in a generation where they had like 20 more years of military industrial complex development and it's just a matter of deploying the right quantity of artillery at the beach #monsterdon

He's the test subject
#monsterdon

#monsterdon My bloopy device is better than your ping-pong-ball-scanner!

#monsterdon RINALDI

CHIEF

McCloud

Two slit pupils per eye! #monsterdon

so, David goes to the military for help, rides along as they surround his house with WW2-scale trenches and barbed wire, and then suggests that we should TALK to them? okay, kid. #monsterdon

Sandworm!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

OK marines breaking into an elementary school like that is ... something.

Oh Rinaldi, Oh Rinaldi, oh my darlin' Rinaldi..... 🎶

#monsterdon

No! Not Renoldo!

#Monsterdon

Try walking without rhythm, Rinaldi #monsterdon

[whistles MASH theme very loudly with extra 80s]

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@blogdiva That's Bud Cort. He played Harold in Harold and Maude. Highly recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067185/
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Science guy has a science thing that is sciencing. #monsterdon

Military only has one tool kid 🔨

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

The cloth with the sand ove rit is a really good effect.

#monsterdon

Main character's dead. Movie over.
