Dad's from Mars and teacher is all the way from Bajor :blobastonished: #Monsterdon

that girl is a Menace. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Louise Fletcher as the matronly biology teacher - shades of Nurse Ratchet tbh

Nurse Ratched's teaching side gig. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

It is funny that they remade this movie because the original totally sucked until the last ten minutes.

#Monsterdon

Lol since when do elementary school kids dissect frogs, I didn't do that until 8th grade

#Monsterdon

Get out now, kid, the teacher's gonna sacrifice you to the Prophets #Monsterdon

transfiguration class is really tough even in third grade

sure, _teacher_ can turn a pickle into a frog, but c'mon

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Yikes. Thanks for reminding us that the Real Horror is the people closest to us, filmmakers

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

1,2,3,4,5!!!!!

#monsterdon

frog fight! #monsterdon

you can see the steam coming up from the mug but they couldn't have been making the actor drink actual boiling hot coffee so wtf #monsterdon

Frogs HATE frog week. #monsterdon

oh, now it's ET???

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The coffee was sweetened with valium. He's gonna be having a sluggish day soon.

For those of you too young to know… before shark week, there was frog week. #Monsterdon

Dad's a lot less abusive off the hop than in the 50s version, I'm not unhappy about that.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Someone needs to rescue that frog he does not belong in that jar.

Why is there always a frog dissecting scene in 80s movies with aliens? #monsterdon

What’s with the american school system and frogs? #monsterdon

You ever just feel like a frog in a jar during Frog Week?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon like any 1980s kid, he runs away from his problems at home by disappearing to school

Total ET ripoff.

#monsterdon

damn he probably scalded the skin right off his esophagus

#monsterdon

Frog week!

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

#Monsterdon

Poor Frog

Son, you've enjoyed your M&Ms and your Coca Cola, but you haven't tasted your Knudsen whole milk!

#Monsterdon

I feel sorry for that frog #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

The dad "Let us drink mass quantities. I am from France."

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars #InvaderZim

Tic Tacs in the coffee, total power move #monsterdon

#Monsterdon you're *nailing it* at this "pretend to be a regular human" thing, bro

I didn't realize this film was a remake of the one we watched a few months back. This will be really interesting seeing how the older film was so flush with the tropes of 1950s American scifi. #monsterdon

This is really good totally-normal human acting, I like it

#Monsterdon

"I'm so glad we got the kid a telescope" is a great #Monsterdon line for this scenario. #InvadersFromMars1986

Wait what was in that shaker?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

She asks him if he made his bed, and he chuckles, saying, “It’s made.”

It’s totally not made.

#Monsterdon

Wearin' him like a suit. Like a... Egger suit. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

he's got swallowing issues, you might want to get him to the hospital just for that, could be neurological

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Aliens never seem to understand coffee. Be fair I don't really get hot bean juice either. #Monsterdon

this is a normal human way to drink coffee, right?

#monsterdon

Anybody want some coffee and breath mints?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

kinda grossed out ngl

@jonny looks like they are going for the ol' spacebug bite on the neck instead which is a bit if a bummer TBH #Monsterdon

well, it's not the worst thing i've ever seen someone do to coffee, to be fair. #monsterdon

Dad is a Goa'uld now, kid

#Monsterdon

i hope a snake doesn't get butchered like in xtro

#monsterdon

How would Lynch have done this scene?

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars

Why does the son, looking at his invader dad, look like he's going to barf??

Was it the Dr. Pepper?

#monsterdon

if i saw someone had a small wound on their neck i would not suddenly be suspicious of them

#monsterdon

*boop* your nose!

#Monsterdon

Doctor Pepper for breakfast?

#monsterdon

Oh no, dad thinks he's being played by Johnny Depp in a Serious Role! #monsterdon

“Dad, I’m an expert on ball lightning, and that wasn’t ball lightning.” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

This time alien-possessed-dad is just icky, not scary

Oh in the 80s we always had frog week.

#monsterdon

If this was made today Dad would totally be Will Ferrell #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

oh shit! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon he's been in the matrix

Hottest. Coffee. Ever. #Monsterdon

Uh oh, yep, Dad's _gone_.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yeah, David, your mom and dad's kink is none of your business.

There's our first coffee sighting. And Dr. Pepper product placement. Captain Crunch.

Well, that didn't take long for dad to undergo a major personality change.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

@peltast

#Monsterdon

To be fair, it looks like they reproduced the sets pretty faithfully.

I don't think the dad is himself anymore. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

◾ Sponsored by Fed Mart

Alien dad! #monsterdon

Wow, soda this morning, this kid's gonna have all kinds of problems later in life.

#Monsterdon

@moira I mean I'm having one at the moment so I guess it's fair #monsterdon

#Monsterdon don't talk to me until i've had my coffee

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

And there's the offer of coffee ... #sameAsTheOriginal

Oh no dad was abducted. Or something. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Capn Crunch and coffee.

Breakfast of alien champions.

@moira Well he is rocking a mullet #monsterdon

the mom's cheating but it just on her test #monsterdon

"I'll get you another pair when I'm at the Fed Mart."

Fed Mart?? Mom is a NARC!

#monsterdon

They made Laraine .... an accountant??? Seriously?

#monsterdon

kid's poppin a brewski a little early isn't he?

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Ubiquitous pocket surveillance systems sure have changed the world, he just could have snapped a pic

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

That red boombox was a classic #monsterdon

#Monsterdon sick lights show dude

#monsterdon Funny that we have a Tobe Hooper film with a kid being on-edge with a Thunderstorm and running to his parents room. Next up, thing-in-closet-with-tentacles. :)

I searched "invaders from mars 1986" and clicked on a link and started watching and was having this crazy sense of deja vu because the link I clicked was the original.

Fixed now, all is right with the world.

#Monsterdon

@RufusJCooter

He is a devout reader of Fate magazine - he knows what ball lightning is.

#Monsterdon

...Isn't this the house from The Stuff? #Monsterdon

I-is this good parenting? In an 80s film?

#Monsterdon #invadersFromMars

OH yeah, I'm sure Dad is totally normal and not an invader at ALL.

But the kid is too busy enjoying Dr. PEPPER in case you hadn't noticed.

#monsterdon

Mom's a cheatin' cheater. #Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Of course it isn't just ball lightning. That would look a lot more impressive than this

#Monsterdon

dad's... dead... timmy...

#monsterdon #InvadersFromMars1986

Random night with spontaneous pajama matching. Nostalgia for the 1950's calling?

#Monsterdon

I literally had that b&w poster the kid has
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon m&ms next to his bed like any good American boy

the dad looks like Mahoney from Police Academy
#monsterdon

oh man i hope they stay faithful to all the wonderful moments we had with the 60's sand pit, both through the telescope and spelunking through it. truly the main character of the movie #monsterdon

@rberlim That kid didn't do so much scene chewing too #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🔴 👽 👽 --> 🌎 🧟‍♀️ 😱

Nothing as boring as having your kid tell you he saw a spaceship crash I guess

“How do you expect me to become an astronaut, if you won’t let me stay up late?”

As we all know, astronauting is a profession known for staying out late at night.

#Monsterdon

Lots of familiar looking sets! But no twin beds 😄 #Monsterdon

@amyfou YES i noticed that too! #monsterdon
