Impressive to know the train schedule to (checks note) the island Iceland?
#Monsterdon

lieutenant rimmer there is pretty snotty for a guy who's had exactly one good observation

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

Love a good Julian/Gregorian calendar mixup plot point. #Monsterdon

Does anyone else wish they were watching the little known NBC "Journey to the Center of the Earth" TV series pilot from 1993, right now?

No? Even to escape the cast?

#monsterdon

I can't bear to wait another year. Who knows if I'll still give a shit about any of this by then?#Monsterdon

did they just use the Ben Franklin invented daylight savings time gag from National Treasure!!!??? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Tonight's movie brought to you by scheele's green, when you absolutely want to be poisoned by your wallpaper, your clothes, the upholstery, your postage... Choose Scheele's green, now with 160% more arsenical copper stuff

Wait. Isn’t this a plot point in National Treasure? #Monsterdon

yes we know what the title of the movie is, you don't have to keep repeating it #monsterdon

....and that dingus was Alan Turing's grandpa #monsterdon

Cervantes? From Soul Calibur? He wrote a book? Preposterous.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

this is the perfect setup for a Doctor Who special. #monsterdon

ah yes, Chekhov's calendar system #monsterdon

Did not expect high calendar drama

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Why didn't we think of that before?"

Because you're arrogant posers?

He wrote it backwards! He must have been traveling back in time! #Monsterdon

He’s so arrogant he considers himself a colleague of Darwin. #Monsterdon

@WhiskeySailor A sign! gawd be praised! #WrongMovie #monsterdon

1898 hamburgers? That must have been some catering table.
#Monsterdon #WhenTimeBegan

... and now it's a completely different note.

#Monsterdon

Get all the worlds best cryptographers! Or a mirror. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This has to be JUMANJI sooooo much green

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DRINK YOUR OVALINE!!?? #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Talk about an unnecessary title drop. #Monsterdon

It's the Zodiac!
#Monsterdon

I wish this Axel guy were more rock and roll #monsterdon

I'm sorry, I didn't get how the professor got the book.
#monsterdon

I don't think that's how evolution works... #monsterdon

@sean hence the term (checks notes) "get your rocks off" #monsterdon

Well, the quick glimpse of that note dropped from the book suggests it's from the author of the Voynich manuscript.

#Monsterdon

"oh dear oh dear" -- pooh, or this guy, apparently

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

#monsterdon The little man is crawling on the floor

They're solving a 2024 escape room

#Monsterdon

"A coded text?"

Yes, I'm quite sure they're moon runes, we'll need to view the map under a crescent moon on Durin's Day...

#Monsterdon

Just waiting for Metlar to show up tbh #monsterdon

#monsterdon posh

I seem to recall that the Pat Boone version started out way more excitingly, rather than people complaining about having to decrypt secret texts. And then being shown up by a woman who has a better idea about cryptography than they do. #Monsterdon

thought for a second he’d reach for his mobile phone to check on the map #Monsterdon

It wasn't writing on the wall - it was writing in the mirror

#monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

"Why should I want to marry a solider" I like her #monsterdon

I guess tree hiding 101 is the first class he took? #monsterdon

Fewer soup tureens, more monsters, please

#Monsterdon

I had to go to the front door to get my dumpling delivery. Who's the clown? #Monsterdon

Getting ready to info dump about nautical measurements, someone stop me now
#Monsterdon

@Taweret It depends on how many ballclubs are in the league at the time #monsterdon

Seems like the make up artist had never seen sideburns. #monsterdon

That rug… I hate it and want it. #Monsterdon

so much green

she must really love arsenic!

#WhereTimeBegan #monsterdon

@JoeWynne i would figure that it would be like all spanish or all english but it's a blend? are people going in and out of english too? #monsterdon

Okay at least one thing in this room is dyed with poison. DEFINITELY the wallpaper, possibly the upholstery. #monsterdon

Man the 1977 version sure knows how to take the magic out of planning an expedition to the center of the earth. #Monsterdon

@Louisa Science in a nutshell

#Monsterdon

@jonny
It's a Spanish film.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Beards! As a beardy old, I'm happy.

...Why'd he switch from kilometers to miles mid-sentence like that? #Monsterdon

Science is solid so far. #Monsterdon

I'm sorry, did one these "scientists" argue against experimentation?

#Monsterdon
#JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

flaky crust, molten core-- it's a mcdonald's apple pie! #food #monsterdon

I also just had a moment where I went "WAIT why is there smokes? entire plumes of smoke? is something on fire?"

....yeah (they were smoking indoors)

#monsterdon

I love #monsterdon because it’s like an experiment in federated MST3K

This movie looks a lot more expensive than what I was expecting. Let's see how long that lasts. #Monsterdon

The Professor sounds like Burgermeister Meisterburger.

#Monsterdon

too bad there's no way to know how far a 'league' is

#monsterdon

Dude has done some weed. Sunglasses and speaking in profound contradictions? Yeah. #monsterdon

These folks would all be wizards in a Terry Pratchett story.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

the old movie challenge

did they dub in voices or is it just bad audio engineering?

#monsterdon

This is how scientific conferences should be.

We've lost our way.

#monsterdon

mixing units :not_like_okuu: #monsterdon

So far at least 2 different guys have said they're a smart man, but not like OTHER smart men, who are stuffy old chumps

#Monsterdon

I hear tell the core of the Earth is a Giant Chicken. #monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth #WhereTimeBegan

okay, fair is fair, this dubbing is pretty good. #monsterdon

I wish my used book shop had more random beardy guys selling us books that dramatically. Better than moldy Steven King paperbacks. #monsterdon

There's definitely some confusion about which version is meant to be watched tonight, like I keep seeing people mention Pat Boone who was in the 1959 version #monsterdon

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the science room!

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

Wowwee, three units of measurement within three sentences? #Monsterdon

"poking about some damp and evil-smelling cavern" but enough about my night with YOUR MOM

#Monsterdon

So I think this is dubbed, only when I peeked earlier I would have sworn the words matched the mouth motions perfectly. I blame the shingles; my brain is NOT at its best lmao #monsterdon

#monsterdon ooopppsss

he's gunna burn that fuckin store to the ground #Monsterdon

This is why nobody likes bookstores any more. #monsterdon

#monsterdon idk what's going on

How many licks does it take... oh, wait. #Monsterdon

Well this version certainly is trying to be super true to the book. #monsterdon

#monsterdon and starring Seth Meyers as the stick&hoop street urchin...

Well you've convinced me, these are indeed Germans discussing other country's literature. #Monsterdon

Hamburgers with sideburns? i dont think so #Monsterdon

My favorite adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth is Inhumanoids. :3 #monsterdon

Oh dear, those are some REALLY bad fake muttonchops. #Monsterdon

And why was he talking to the camera?

#monsterdon

he has almost he same disguise as the kid from Howl's Moving Castle #monsterdon

The facial hair in this one goes to 11

#Monsterdon

"If you've come to sell, you've come to the wrong shop."

Thank you, Aziraphel, but I'm actually here to see Crowley. Where's the demon?

#Monsterdon

That's really three squirrels in a duster, isn't it.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth

Hold on, I think I got the wrong Journey to the Center of the Earth (1977). Anyone have a link to the appropriate one?

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Nobody told me Les Claypool was in this.

#Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth

Everything is sherbet colored back then #monsterdon

just look at these charles dickens motherfuckers in their weird library bank thing i just wanna eat them up #monsterdon

Hello, I'm Mister Conspicuously Inconspicious! #Monsterdon

Karl Marx goes for a haircuts #Monsterdon

The very British Kenneth More enters the scene, from above!
