@Taweret The script got hit on the head and forgot about the cave bugs. #Monsterdon

Foreshadowing. #MonsterDon

KTLA reports! And YOU are there! If man is still alive! If woman can survive! #Monsterdon

Dramatic, radio, reading. #monsterdon

Oh heck, road's gone. #monsterdon

"We know this thing is incredibly fast but we're assuming there's two of them because it's too fast."

#Monsterdon

so what's going on with the cave bugs?

#monsterdon

Call random offices, see if the person you want is there. #monsterdon

@cheribaker Nowadays they could treat this sort of thing with medication #monsterdon

why are they teletyping the script? shouldn't they have it before cameras are rolling? #monsterdon

The coal car ride attack is a good idea. Maybe. But weird giant insects are resilient.
#MONSTERDON

oh, I forgot to note: we’ve definitely been doing caves this whole #monsterdon

@MerlinJStar "none" is often just about as much context as people actually watching the movie have lmao. from what i understand this time like half the people are watching something that is basically a different movie #monsterdon

@funkula Taco Tuesday. HEEYOO. #monsterdon #rodan

"This supersonic maniac that is attacking anything that flies."

#Monsterdon

some amazing matte compositing here #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I've seen better matte paintings

oh god I want that clock

well, okay, smaller. but.

#monsterdon

@funkula look, sometimes a monster just wants to eat a shittonne of beans, okay? #monsterdon

SURRENDER DOROTHY! #monsterdon

RIP that dude #Monsterdon

BOY SIGHTED BRIEFLY

#Monsterdon

"It's writing something! It says... 'GODZILLA SUCKS'!" #Monsterdon

“…that’s bad, right?” #monsterdon

Top Gun: Rodan

#Monsterdon

At 3X the Japanese just sounds like the twittering of sparrows anyhow #monsterdon

he broke his nose, sir! #monsterdon

Loving the jet fighter model
#Monsterdon

ah let’s all listen round and take notes as this guy bullshits off the top of his head #monsterdon

He's spelling something: s.u.r.r.e.n.d.e.r d.o.r.o.t.h.y #monsterdon #rodan

He's gonna hurl, get a bucket. #monsterdon

The boy is coming!

#Monsterdon

Weird how showing him photos of the monster that killed his friends is traumatic.
#monsterdon

it's a giant e sir! #eecummings #monsterdon

Well we know he doesn't remember his name or his friends and family, so now let's try showing him horrible bug monsters #monsterdon

Warning: A crap ton of model planes were harmed in the making of this film. #monsterdon #rodan

20-cal doesn't work. New strategy: retreat! #monsterdon

@jonny He's a giant ant IN A RUBBER HUMAN SUIT. #Monsterdon

@moira he does not know how to show who he truly #monsterdon

men used so much product in their hair back then

#monsterdon

That giant killer puppet moves fast down hill.
So mega bugly just kills people without eating them? That is more mysterious and grisly but also unsettlingly meaningless.
#MONSTERDON

He died as he lived, mud-stained and whimpering.

...Oh he's not dead. Dammit :/ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Gonna ram this coal right down your squeak maker!

"Amnesia can be difficult."

Thanks doc.

#monsterdon

he can't remember you because he has an ant brain now! #monsterdon

I remember... The Alamo. #monsterdon #rodan

“…I’m completely baffled.”
He speaks for a few of us I suspect
#monsterdon

@jonny we do not kink shame here at #monsterdong #monsterdon

somehow, shigeru returned. #monsterdon

i get the feeling that you should not trust this man to not have one of those ant guys inside of him #monsterdon

Those are some weirdly calm seismometers given what's going on outside O_o #Monsterdon

"Ah, shit, someone dropped a matte painting here"

#Monsterdon

Modelwork, excellent; matte paintings; not half bad. But not to the same standard. #monsterdon

I'm late but am catching up at 2X - go go go! #monsterdon

That’s a very good earthquake effect #monsterdon

Ah yes the earthquare institute, where earthquakes go to school

#Monsterdon

At least there a consensus that the monster is the killer. #monsterdon

@trixter i also would like to offer the larva my protection #monsterdon

You'd think a bunch of miners would know how to not collapse a mine but I guess not. #Monsterdon

Entire mountains crumbling. That can't be good. #monsterdon #rodan

you see the problem is that they actually hadn't delved enough. they were just a little more delving away from completely solving this situation
#monsterdon

@ryan what if Gregor Samsa woke up one morning and KICKED ASS

#Monsterdon

"OH JEEZ y'took out a couple'a thousand eyes! My optometrist's gonna KILL me!" #Monsterdon

Move 16 tons and what do you get. #monsterdon

Extremely ineffective tactic of handgun fire on the monster. #monsterdon

Yes pluto ads, I have seen the D&D movie. It was fun. And good thing I saw it first cause trailers spoiling some good lines.
#MONSTERDON

ohhh pistols and machine guns, that’ll do it #monsterdon

WOAH OKAY THIS JUST GOT WORSE #monsterdon

Choo-Choo!!
#Monsterdon

“Machine guns won’t kill it!” So, about as resilient as an emu #monsterdon

mine cart level! #monsterdon

HELL YEAH TIME TO RIDE THE RAILS

#Monsterdon

This giant insect larva is my child now and I will die for it. #Monsterdon

no one can stop its awful rubberness #monsterdon

Aliens (1986) #monsterdon

they also hadn't invented tinnitus yet though, so these guys are all fine :)
#monsterdon

some monster's gonna get some COAL IN HIS STOCKING! #monsterdon

Quick! Everyone shoot at the flimsy roof supports! #monsterdon #rodan

#Monsterdon Somebody haul their ass to the nearest JSDF base and get a fookin' .50 cal.

this is the loosest adaptation of The Metamorphosis I’ve watched but I’ll accept it #monsterdon

Oh hell, monster just showed up in the miner's village and there's a panic. #monsterdon

We're gonna need a bigger piece of flypaper.
#MONSTERDON

I'm a little confused on the timeline here, is this before humanity invented masers?

#Monsterdon

why dont we just not go in that mine anymore? you know, because there's monsters in there

#monsterdon

It's pretty hilarious when the full-size set is less convincing than the excellent modelwork #monsterdon

#monsterdon Is that a machine gun? I'll bet that's safe to use in a cave.

Ah, something bigger than a revolver, surely this will defeat the monster! #Monsterdon

One of the most crucial shot types in this era was getting a whole bunch of people to run in front of the camera #monsterdon

That birdcage... Is that a canary... Outside of it's coal mine?
#MONSTERDON

M scale is for Monster! #monsterdon

okay that's one hell of a #monsterdon costume

Gotta say, I'm on the hideous larvae's side on this conflict. It was perfectly polite, even knocked before entering. #Monsterdon

everybody on set volunteering to be in the giant bug suit because it looks fun as hell #monsterdon

"if i see rodan i'm giving him a fuckin poke you just watch" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon So squeaky cute sounding and so dangerous.

They're going to be running out of stretchers soon at this rate. #monsterdon #rodan

Take them to the morgue! #monsterdon

the hell are these guys with the pointed sticks going to do #monsterdon

@Taweret literally just standing his ground. he hasn't delved anyone
#monsterdon

@bunnyhero And this is pretty early, it's not like they're just being genre-savvy. #Monsterdon
