I thought that the martians might be vampire-zombie-y but they're really just robo-zombie-y
My spouse: "Oh hey, aren't you glad there are only thirty minutes to go?"
Me: "Oh god there's another thirty minutes!"
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars
Okay the scientist brought their triquarter thingy
of course he knows what he's doing he's got the tricorder with tracer lights can't you tell he's a scientist?
One screen reads Launch Time 10:23 and another one reads Launch Time 10:23 but in a different font and then thereβs a third one that shows 10:23 with a wireframe graph of a rocket and thereβs a fourth one #monsterdon
#Monsterdon "if there is life up there it may not want to be found. it may not want us there"
this is an anti-colonialism preemptive strike
#Monsterdon is that like a magic wand (no I think it's a lamp)

#Monsterdon "marines have no qualms about killing martians"
Wait, who decided to put the guy in the Groucho Marx glasses in charge of this operation?
the aliens are shaped like weird ticks with their asses in the air #monsterdon
How many medic trucks are needed tor initial response to something?
#monsterdon Platoon Whores! Check your clap cards!
Let us repel Into the schools boiler from hell
Man that's a boxy old Tricorder. #Monsterdon
What most people don't remember is that in the 80's it was common for most US elementary schools to have a Doom Pit leading to underground tunnels.

OK that animated wireframe explosion graphic was silly
Welp, no more scientist to harsh our "shoot first" mentality.
Armed man on a school. Yeap, that's sooo reassuring
#monsterdon
I have your delivery of steam.
I like the one NASA scientist's combo Polaroid camera and Ghostbuster-style P.K.E. meter.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS #Monsterdon
No way they would survive a rocket explosion like that. It would have wiped out the entire base #monsterdon
oooh big lΓ€mp
@diazona oooh, the same actor played Kai Winn in DS9, where she had basically the same personality #monsterdon
@whknott Still not over the failure of MKUltra in 1986 maybe?
nice boiler room floor but does it run doom?
So when does the Brain Bug show up? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon David will come to have strange inexplicable sexual hangups over weapons, camo, and big beefy men named Cleetus.
#Monsterdon at what point did pennies become mostly zinc? Because if those aliens DO eat copper, they'd fucking hate modern pennies

They really are using that table lamp as the only light source in the general's office
Wonder if they'll stock footage it up like the original :D #Monsterdon
"...damn it, tank attack isn't covered by our house insurance."
Cue egghead scientist getting eaten as he tries to make peace? Stupid scientist. Peace never works.
ok so while the plot might have been shifted around a bit, we do get the entire final 1/3 of the movie being ARMY MAN TIME as it was in the 60's version #monsterdon
People on here and in the movie keep saying "L O X" and I always figured it was pronounced lox (like the smoked fish). That's what I get for reading to expand my vocabulary as a kid and not trying to figure out how words actually sound.
#Monsterdon You know I know it would have made the scene less cool but they didn't even CHECK if the front door was locked they just busted the window open and broke in
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
Hahaha the blocks of explosive have a 'dangerous' label on them!
yaaaash HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT times :D
Marines have no qualms about killing Martians!
(That was their original motto, by the way - they ended up deciding something in latin would look punchier on their logo...)
So these aliens are like those guys that break into abandoned homes and buildings and steal the pipes. Is that the plot? #Monsterdon
Just because they're illegal aliens, right General?
David's getting like twice as many lines as he's entitled to in this remake #monsterdon
Soooo are adults gonna be able to see any of the alien infrastructure this time? #monsterdon
@wohali You know more things than me.
"Marines have no qualms about killing Martians!"
Yay! Monster!
does this version have masers? this version should have masers.
Tobias Menzies Memorial School
Oh boy that's the signal the start of the action part of the movie!
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
"And this is Linda Magnusson, a friend of David's" <-- how you introduce the grown woman who is accompanying a 10yo boy.
#Monsterdon Marines have no qualms about killing martians
is that like part of boot camp?
Bold move showing a NASA spaceship exploding in 1986...
BOOOOOM
One of Elon's bug new rockets or something I guess #Monsterdon
"...Marines have no qualms about killing Martians!"
"That's ... an odd thing to say?"
Don't worry kid, we're totally gonna murder your parents. #monsterdon
The tunnels, of course, thatβs why we get the Martian Rave Tunnel here #monsterdon
#Monsterdon nice! some action
"Ok, research team guys, we're just going to do 40 more takes of the death throws...action!"
marines have no qualms about killing anybody, i mean, it's kind of the job

She doesn't just fail to check her review mirror, she has no peripheral vision either. #monsterdon
@aburka You're watching that Fawlty Towers episode where the car gets a damned good thrashing?! #Monsterdon

Andy Warhol shows up as a consultant to NASA. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon βLets get screwed, by aliens, in our necksβ¦β
#Monsterdon we're gonna find out this movie is sponsored by someone who believes all electronics should use gold instead of copper
Not really a Saturn Five rocket anymore. More of a Saturn floor. #Monsterdon
33 years makes all the difference in production values and bombast #monsterdon
#monsterdon shooting at the giant tube of liquid Oxygen is always a good idea.
guess the delay is a little more than "temp" at this point. #monsterdon
Just like a Russian test launch!
#monsterdon
Big wheels rollin'

I think I've got the Martians' motivation: they're just really into mean practical jokes #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Fuck you and your space trip!!!! π
Why a graphic? Why? #Monsterdon
Restricted area where they shoot without warning and a single guard on the gate, nice planning boys.
@paco To be fair, itβs a small room, and there wasnβt much else to do. #Monsterdon
Is that a portrait of himself behind his desk?
You just had a perimeter breach that's not a Temporary freeze anymore
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
The General is right!
Hard to believe they would still want to launch a rocket with sabotage going on
bandaids! #monsterdon
You Will Not Go To Space Today #monsterdon
#Monsterdon I don't know what any of those displays aside from the timer mean
I love the Battlezone-like graphics
"Lethal force will be used"
The lethal force: firing a maximum of 3 of shots at a truck (not the folks driving it though) with a small gun
#monsterdon
Please make him stop. Make the child stop. He collects pennies. Heβs not cleared for top secret discussions. #Monsterdon
Ooh that LOX will make a big Boom #monsterdon

#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
those guys both did a GREAT collapse into a twitchy heap!
That force was not very lethal, private
What do we do after finding extraterrestrial infiltration into NASA. Call the president? No, first we need to read this child in on classified Mars probe photos. #monsterdon

Kinda funny that Cydonia (the "Face on Mars") didn't merit a mention, though
"My god... Let's go!" (nobody follows)
