Not Idiot's gold. Checkov's gold.

YESSSSS! Giant Eyeball sighting # 2 #Monsterdon

@diazona

Theremin attacks electrician truck. Okay, then.

#Monsterdon

G-g-g-ghost hand! The Professor is an alien?
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"What is it?!" "A monster designed _specifically_ for 3D! RUN!"

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"Why would they leave the doors open"?

I dunno Johnny why do you always leave your passenger door closed?

#Monsterdon

DODGE TO THE SIDE, KHEZU DOESN'T HAVE MUCH RANGE! #Monsterdon

No touchy! #monsterdon

I was gonna make a joke post about the pensive shot of the telephone wires, and then we got that really cool tracking shot of the truck from the side!

#Monsterdon

I guess George isn't getting that promotion he's angling for!

#Monsterdon

About time for a monster attack, I think

#Monsterdon

spoooOOoooky truck!
#monsterdon

Aaaaaand Tremors #Monsterdon

So, I was gonna say John's game needs work, but I guess he's doing OK?
#monsterdon

The lineman is a True Believer. Seen a lot out here in the desert.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret He smokes a pipe and anything can be in that bowl #monsterdon

Where is your science now, Professor?

#Monsterdon

I’m so upset that the aliens leave a glitter trail instead of a goo trail 😭 #Monsterdon

This guy definitely isn't okay.

#Monsterdon

(I may or may not actually be watching the movie)

@technicolourpenguin
#MONSTERDON

AAAAAND THE WICHITA LINEMAN, IS STIIIIIILL ON THE LINE 🎶

#Monsterdon

Y-you're gonna take a squint!? I didn't need to know that, man. #Monsterdon

"What do you make of it?" I can make an airplane, a pterodactyl a broach... #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

He got hot boxed by the eldritch horror! #Monsterdon

What color is this truck? It's like a vibrating oscillation of color s not of this earth. A colour out of space.
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

is this guy okay?

#monsterdon

The alien is breathing heavy over the phone lines #Monsterdon

After ya been smokin payote in the desert as long as I have, you hear things, see things too.... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
What do you hear?! Share it with the audience!

Wait, is that the Professor?
#Monsterdon

Are you afflicted with a CLAMP-esque bubble vision? Cousin It From Outer Space says you may be entitled to compensation.

#monsterdon

A real lizard fren and a plastic spider, perfect

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

can the audience hear, please? #monsterdon

this lineman wants to believe

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

just your average weird....nothing out of the ordinary

#monsterdon

@msh y'know I could actually kind of see that, with the right kind of person

I mean, people like ghost stories and such

#Monsterdon

It's a string section - no mystery

#monsterdon
#ItCameFromOuterSpace

What is #monsterdon even about? and why is my TL filled with it ?

A sort of purply-green yellow. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace #octarine #discworld

The lineman is a perfect complement to Writer Guy.
#Monsterdon

Oh hey! There's the professor. Tryin' a fix the phone wire with a coconut. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

How can they kiss like that and NOT be married in 1953? #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

"can you hear me now?"
#monsterdon

"The army isn't afraid of any invaders?"

"Look son, 10 years ago we were kicking Nazi and Japanese butt, we're not afraid of some vaselined lenses, weird music, and a strange-looking tree"

#monsterdon

John is kinda paranoid - "a thousand ways the desert can kill"

But can't see a trail of glitter right under his nose.

#Monsterdon

Oh no the tree is alive

#Monsterdon

@wohali Maybe the alien is a shape shifter disguised as a matte painting. Everybody would just assume it was the background. #Monsterdon

"...I still haven't found what I"m looking for"

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@Taweret @diazona the Portuguese subtitles say Ellen, but H is silent in that language anyway so I really can't help #monsterdon

Are all these cars painted octarine? #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace #discworld

"MARCO"
#monsterdon

"waiting for you." but not me, apparently. #monsterdon

@diazona @Taweret Closed captions say "Ellen" #monsterdon

@wrog @Lazarou I'm pretty sure these "AI colourised" versions on archive.org are just for piracy detection avoidance

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Y'gotta be a special kind of cracker to wear wool suits in Arizona. #Monsterdon

Hmm, the radio remark about the aliens being buried in the rock reminds me…

Is this movie doing some War of the Worlds stuff with just one landing?

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva He was in "The Magnetic Monster" which was notable for it's total absence of monster. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

@Lazarou

"so many purple cars....."

Colorization Fail.

#monsterdon

"Smile please" another thing that never changes

#monsterdon

nothing makes a girl more smitten with you than telling her how many ways the desert can kill you whilst you are in the desert

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 David Byrne knew! 🎶 #Monsterdon

Just one little monster so the audience wouldn't have to wait. #Monsterdon

Why dontcha just pee around Ellen in a circle, Matt! #Monsterdon

"What frightens them they're against" well, nice to know some things never change I guess

#monsterdon

You can see the poor girl's corset. I'm shallow breathing in sympathy.
#Monsterdon

"uh. naw. sorry bro"
#monsterdon

All the guys with chiseled faces know Ellen #monsterdon

They're all going to believe him soon enough when they've got probes halfway up their craters. #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Wait, she's not his wife? #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

Squintin' up at the stars and now this. Leave your GF alone!

#monsterdon

(Fashion note - in contrast to Project Moonbase, where you could tell who the villains were by how bad their ties were, everyone in those movie has terrible taste in ties)
#monsterdon

see, ellen is a dumb old girl who doesn't know what's good for her so the men to manage her

#monsterdon

Matt is barely moving his mouth. how did they not have to voiceover everything he said?
#monsterdon

"See, I'm the Sheriff, which means I'm entitled to stick my big bulbous nose in the business of every woman I've ever encountered!" #Monsterdon

Love the camera crew. Check out that transmitting dish!

#Monsterdon

The alien is just looking for the Ke$ha concert, you guys! #Monsterdon

this guy pulls off the short tie a little better than last week’s bad tie guy #monsterdon

ah, here's your Sherrif. #monsterdon

I don't think the ball looked anything like a ship #monsterdon

@SRLevine it'd be "tens of thousands" today, but still, yes #monsterdon

#monsterdon I feel like people were famously unwilling to listen when Copernicus proposed the round earth

What is odd is the Geiger counter continuously clicking when nothing is radioactive

#Monsterdon

Where’s the trail of glitter? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
No one believes John.

HAHAHAHA you came to a small town for a more open mindset?
#Monsterdon

@Bit_form Unless they're from the Champaign region of mars, they're not, you know... #monsterdon

"Dig for months and spend thousands."

Wow, if someone said that today I'm pretty sure my university would jump on it in a hot second as a total steal.

#Monsterdon

"There was a time when people thought the world was flat! But now we know the Earth is made of pudding!" #Monsterdon

"...I don't know what's odd, and what isn't anymore"
"That would be even."

#Monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

As everyone knows all spaceships are radioactive #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Theramins are scared away by disbelieving characters. Only people who truly believe in aliens can hear the theramin. #monsterdon

Sir, Martians come from the area of the solar system known as Mars. Otherwise this is just your average giant eye with tentacles!
#monsterdon

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor who then?

Yes?

#monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

You and your pleated pants can go to hell!

#monsterdon

star gazer sees martians #monsterdon

Almost 100 years and we're still arguing about academic funding and grants.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This is Azeriphale, from the Sand Rock Star

Alien wants to chase them and suddenly realises "shit, they're in a car and I'm on foot. I'll just have to go attack this Joshua Tree." #monsterdon

Oh good. The military's here. *eyeroll* #monsterdon #ItCameFromOuterSpace

They should've tried to pull the mask off of that Joshua Tree. I bet it's Old Man Jones behind it! #Monsterdon
