Martian possessed humans obviously like burnt bacon and toast. Oh, and raw hamburger.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Dad is luded to the gills. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🎵 my name is luka
my dad is a martian dupe
yeah you've probably seen me before
if you hear something late at night
some kind of alien takeover fright
just don't ask me what it was
just don't ask me what it was
just don't ask me
what it was 🎵

Mmmmmmm yummy raw hamburger and SALT, just like my Martian mom used to make!

#Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic we need to go back to Mars and teach them a thing or two about bacon

#Monsterdon

Cheap burger tartare, delish!

#Monsterdon

This is so weird, I love it #monsterdon

Will she return as Connie Conehead?

#Monsterdon

ugh ugh ugh these actors are champs but ugh. #monsterdon

“After _I_ do the dishes? George, you’re acting very strange.”

I love that this is what makes him seem strange to her.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's Nickel night down at the police station! I need pennies! Ed doesn't work for free ya know!

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Cue menacing eating of large plate of burnt bacon

OH man, the fortitude of the wife actress eating the raw meat and salt. 😬

#monsterdon

if bacon like that is a sign you are body snatched, then my husband must be an alien...

#monsterdon

lady i'm not going on any picnic with anyone who chars bacon. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I like the "no really, I'm human" acting. It's a nice callback to the original.

#Monsterdon Oh boy a picnic! What could go wrong

@YsengrinWolf #TeamPennies

#Monsterdon

Extra crunchy #monsterdon

This kid has a really remarkable ability to keep cool when he KNOWS everything is wrong.

#monsterdon

that bacon just needs some tic-tacs #monsterdon

Burnt bacon. Clear sign of alien control. #Monsterdon

Kid puts his savings in a fishbowl and not a piggy bank of some sort? That seems weirdly not 80's?

#Monsterdon

lol @ "mom's special dinner'

#monsterdon

Oh that poor pig :/ #Monsterdon

I remember this movie being funnier when I saw it in the theater. 🤔

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

it wouldve taken forever to char that much bacon

#monsterdon

This is why I left the suburbs years ago. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I like my bacon crispy, but gawd-damn, that is BURNT.

"Here, human, have some burnt meat."

#Monsterdon

@guyjantic not all it's cracked up to be

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

oh. nevermind. #monsterdon

BACONBACONBACONBACONBACON!!!!!

Gimme that BACOOON!!!

#Monsterdon

Mmm bacon #monsterdon

That toast is looking mighty dark

#Monsterdon

ze child being able to identify ze alienation of ze father before ze wife is precisely ze alienation of marriage as property relation. ze ideological exercise of marriage, pay ze bills, mow the lawn, sex only on weekends, where our spouse ees already an invader from mars, "body snatched" from ze fantasmatic projection of the "girlfriend who was beloved," whose presence is ze Lacanian Point de capiton
#monsterdon

aliens want pennies

huh

I think we can help each other

#Monsterdon

These motherfuckers never heard of screens? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"After you do this dishes."

Martian patriarchy in full effect.

WELP Mom's gone but at least the kid yelled "MOOOOOOOOOOOOM" rather than "NOOOOOOOOOO", so props for that!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Maybe he wants to derail a train. I remember an auditorium thing in kindergarten where they told us not to penny tracks because it could derail trains and they had a doodle of a train with little X_X eyes like it was dead.

I mean yes I know they lied to us so we wouldn't like, die pennying tracks, but tbh if I didn't think anyone would get hurt it probably would have made me more likely to penny tracks

Ah, to be embraced by a mother who has the dead eyes of a psychopath

#monsterdon

Someone likes their bacon extra extra extra crispy...

#monsterdon

#monsterdon (hmm, there are some weird phasing problems with the multichannel audio track on this DVD edition. The dialogue keeps waffling between the center dialogue channel and the two rear channels. It could be poor encoding but it could also be a deliberate effect to make things seem weird and disorienting? Didn't happen in previous scenes.)

I think Dad's just Canadian now, that's all #monsterdon

Mom and dad going over the hill. What happened to the fishbowl of pennies, though?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

The hill was actually one of the best things about the original, how it kind of just has this vanishing point where everything falls off despite not being very far away. Very smart to recreate that #monsterdon

mm, martians still make bacon. maybe they're fine actually. #monsterdon

the martian stole coins from a little boy? that's too low
#monsterdon

Aliens neck-fisting everyone over the hill without even buying them a drink #monsterdon

this is fine #monsterdon

this movie is legit creeping me out
#Monsterdon

“This is Ed. Ed, this is my wife,” he says as if he’s trying to broach the subject of a throuple. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "the new hookup at the base" :neocat_heart:

effective use of smoke machine ... check

#monsterdon

okay i lke that they recreated the fence from the first movie

#monsterdon

@Taweret now I want to try this

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Maybe he's gonna put all those pennies in his coffee!

#Monsterdon WTF?! Just robbed the kid!?

Mars Needs Pennies. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon *george steps out of the woods with another man* ah this explains a lot

#Monsterdon Not the pennies he has like 2 dollars in there!!!!

#monsterdon See ya later Ed. Brush the dirt off your knees, Ed. See ya tomorrow... for our *special meeting* .... he's got lips that go for days… ;)

@Taweret Then sculpt them to look like a mountain.

#monsterdon

Ugh we're finally home but i can't find the internet archive link anymore wtf #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986

All Cops Are Aliens #monsterdon

@Taweret Mmm, mint potatoes #Monsterdon

OMG he doesn't know her name

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

#Monsterdon Aww a romantic date over the hil-- I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THE FACT SHE DID EVERYTHING DO THE DISHES YOU LAZY ALIEN

Putting carpet on curving stairs must have been a pain in the ass #monsterdon

He's come to steal... NO NOT THE PENNIES??!?!?!? ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Were there duck curtains in the original?

i was hoping he was gonna pour tic tacs in the mashed potatoes

#monsterdon

Ah. You can tell the evil people in this movie because they all grab kids by the wrist. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon All of these guys went to the Botox School of Acting.

Synchro-head-bob! Bet they paid a pretty penny for that effect!

#Monsterdon

Some folks obviously take better to Martian possession than others.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

This is Ed, I just met him over there behind the matte painting of the sky over there #monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is why you wear bug spray before you trek outside. Otherwise you get bug bites on your neck.

Huh, the cops got assimilated fast

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

"Everything's fine now..." (all nod in synchrony)

#monsterdon "Well his car is here but he isn't here."

"Do you have any idea where he might be, Mrs. Gardner?"

I do actually! That's why I called the police, to confirm that I know his exact whereabouts

"...we had a special meeting..........A hookup..........At the base."

Yep, totally normal. Nothing to see here...

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Movie, I'm gonna be honest with you, the cops were weird and off-putting before they got neck-jacked #monsterdon

Well, the cops seem normal at least. 🙃

#monsterdon

listen, who can tell the difference between martian cops and earth cops. not me. #monsterdon

All Cops Are Martian Invaders #Monsterdon

Everything *nod* is *nod*wink* fine now *nod*nudge*.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon ew lady we talk to the cops outside. Do not invite them in

Here we go again. ACAM. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

They don't actually have to read their lines well
#monsterdon

Big, "On our home planet, Marva" energy.

#monsterdon

Now they get to be bad actors :)

#monsterdon

If I had my way, I would always be entering a scene by loudly crashing through a bush #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986 the kid is sent home, and the audience is led to conclude that starting a frog fight was a ruse to allow him to go home and investigate the spaceship and also why his dad is not a normal earthling father,

Anyway, he walks home and the door closes on its own and then the TV is flickering weird and turns on a glowing light movie, distracting the kid from his mission. Then a toy R2D2 knockoff surprises him, being driven by his mischievous mother.

Oh okay army guy hookup makes sense.

#Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "We had a special meeting."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon wink wink nudge nudge say no more

Just going to pop out of the bushes here I guess

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Joey, have you ever gone over the hill to the special place?

#Monsterdon
