that tracking shot following the detectorists was beautiful #monsterdon

@mattgriffin That is like the scariest 10 seconds in the whole movie and also the funniest.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

They would have still been selling leaded gas at this Chevron 😱 😱 😱 😱

Guys will say "I know a place" and then lead you on the run from alien bodysnatchers #monsterdon

#monsterdon Common core educators often times will just pull truant youth right out of a car into their doom bus. It's all part of the new way they do things in education these days.

"I don't know where to go?"

Grown lady has no concept of the world more than a few blocks outside of the school.

:facepalm:

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon None of you people have those blocky brick 80s? (or maybe it was 90s) cellphones to call the FBI with?

#Monsterdon LMAO WTF

Ok, unless you have a pad of anesthetic in your hand shouldn't the kid be fighting more?

At least he escaped though.

#Monsterdon

I think I know where the nightmares come from now #monsterdon

We keep coincidentally seeing close ups of the nurse's license plate, does it mean something?
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Quick sand.
They always warned us about quick sand.

Y'know, I was gonna make a joke about how this teacher's most dangerous foe is a ten year old kid, but... I mean, that's not really unusual, is it. #Monsterdon

Oh no not the field trip!!! #monsterdon

Wonderful chase scene. Bold, going on foot

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Detectorists into the quicksand twirly 🙀

aww...

#monsterdon

Louise Fletcher was a freaking goddess. She's so great in this. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

That was a very cool quicksand effect #monsterdon

I'm sure there are SOME men in suits we can call that will fix this whole thing. #monsterdon

Mom has reached the "cross-eyed screaming" stage of fear.

#monsterdon

HBO also remade Invaders from Mars recently, they called it "The Last Season of Barry" #monsterdon #iykyk

#Monsterdon 2END395. Something tells me the California DMV wouldn't approve this license plate

Right! We can hide... back at the school we already paid to rent for a day!

#monsterdon

@msh @Louisa front-runner for meme of the week

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Detectorists!

Fletcher damn near ripped that child’s head off. #Monsterdon

Man, I had a teacher like that in 3rd grade. No alien assimilations, but MAN she would just straight up grab you. Very rude. #Monsterdon

Fantastic creature effects. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Look he couldn't go on the field trip because his parents didn't sign the permission slip

yes, police? i would like to report some Mr Potato heads pulling people into sand and- hello? hello?

#monsterdon

Karen Black deserved a GT though.

#monsterdon

This movie is 500% better than the original.

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 "Although what the elephant was doing in his pants... " #Monsterdon #WrongMovie #WrongQuote

Ope not even going to try to save the kids

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

"Who are you calling?" GHOSTBUSTERS! #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

"What am I gonna do now!?"

Well, I think it's safe to say you've failed that class, kid. Summer school's not that bad. #Monsterdon

Field trip of the damned. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon Is the mean teacher even licensed to drive a schoolbus?

#monsterdon Team update: SCHOOL NURSE loyalty stat has been restored to 100% :trek_voy_janeway:

#Monsterdon 2END (and something else I didn't catch)

Fun fact*: That cop is Alex Trebek's older brother.

*Lie

#monsterdon

where could it be, not this conspicuous recently dug sand area???

#monsterdon

These are clearly expert metal detectors look at how quickly they can metal detect

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Sucked into the sand pit finally an ode to the classic #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon the primary weakness of the martians is that they are _very slow_

most cities don't have civil servant metal detector staff on call

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Look Mister Frodo, oliphants!

#Monsterdon

Mighty big ant lions in that sand pit. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon It's like none of these people have studied what to do in quicksand!

Giant, slimy, ugly, Mr. Potatoheads!

“You’re not just a crazy child, are you?”

#Monsterdon

They’re just band-aids, it’s the latest trend! My grandfather used onions on his belt, as it was the style at the time #monsterdon

OH! I see, they're using old Dr. Who sets now

#monsterdon

@Louisa the #BrainFace is just fantastic #Monsterdon

Nice effect with the sand there! Wow.

#monsterdon

David, you're not just some crazy kid, are you? David, this is all moving too fast. David, you remind me of a Malibu sunset #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag Nah, it's through the stomach.

[and up underneath the rib cage]

#Monsterdon

So the parents like their bacon burnt. Some people are sinners. Sinning against food.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

"David! You're not just a crazy child...are you?"

^^ she's a nurse, not a child psychologist

That alien base looks a little like the towers in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

This kid is so friggin loud.

@SnoopJ And sometimes y

#Monsterdon

Oh my favorite toy in the 80s was an ugly, slimy Mr. Potato Head.

#monsterdon

Wait when did the hill turn into a rock quarry?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon shit yes i want a plushie of the brain martian look at his cute widdle face

I’M POSITIVE #monsterdon

#monsterdon
nice ride nurse lady

Good use of cover kid, nobody'll see you there. #Monsterdon

"Huge, ugly, slimy, giant Mr Potato heads"

Ok, the movie lost me. You don't insult Mr Potato head.

(says the person who owns two of them for home decor...though they only seem to emerge in certain apartments and somehow never made it to display in my current one)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'd rather see a Magneto-meter

Oh, nice Mustang, Nurse!

Bronco IIs and an Econoline, I wonder who sponsored the vehicles for this flick.

#monsterdon

Wooh. Way creepier alien effects than the green pyjama suits #Monsterdon

Did a lot of nurses in the 1980s drive Ford Thunderbird convertibles? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Damn what the FUCK

#Monsterdon They're MOLE PEOPLE.

The Aliens all want to know who is the 3rd strongest (except for the mean teacher she's 1st strongest)

@SRLevine "The way to a man's heart" "Don't be so danged literal!" --Bugs Bunny #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i love the ship interior design, it's very 'organic', like it's got bones and shit

Oh yes, let's go right back to the alien ship. #monsterdon

Now rub the bacon grease into your tie. #monsterdon

why couldn't they contain david? well could you tell your intestines to close to keep something inside? the alien probably doesn't have complete control over all the functions of its body #monsterdon

This whole scene is just David's hallucination after cutting himself with the scalpel, right? #monsterdon

@jonny Er what would Zizek say about the sphincter and clown aliens and tunnels?

#monsterdon

@aburka yeah true, although Prof. Trelawney was even more of a ditz when she wasn't giving real prophecies

#Monsterdon

"You're not just a crazy child, are you?"

I've heard that a lot.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

And to drink... Peru!

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars86 #andAlsoBetterOffDead

leave Mr Potato Head out of this! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

SHE CHANTED THE VOWEL LETTERS WHY (without the 'sometimes y')

I love everything about that set and those creatures. To get the 'potato head' martians legs to move like that the puppeteers flipped around and walked backwards in the props. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Can we see the back of the nurse's neck again please #monsterdon

so the alien is a sort of plant-like creature living in the hillside, slow moving/stationary, so that's why it has to mind control people to do its bidding externally and why it can't contain david even when he is spotted inside the base, which isn't a base so much as the alien's body #monsterdon

The martian drones were supposed to have been very difficult and uncomfortable costumes. Not only are you on stilts, but you're facing backwards - that huge face is hanging off your butt.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

We saw a Mr. Potato Head on his nightstand earlier. And now he says it out loud. Another product placement?!

#monsterdon

parkour

parkour

#Monsterdon

This is what I get for playing Skyrim, Morrowind, and ESO:

The interior of the Martian ship _totally_ looks like Redoran architecture. Especially in the inside of the Manor District in Ald'ruhn.

All the aliens are awesome good job effects designer and art director etc!

where did they find this footage of the DNC #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

Heart AND liver? She really wants to get him, doesn't she?
