@bunnyhero omg seriously
@LingLass This entire act is just absolutely pointless.
@trixter ooh!! Right! Funny, didn't see where she found out he was dead. #Monsterdon
that baby is miced up harder than most of the adults
I've seen the Blood Rust.. uh, could you not sit next to me. Stewardess!!
I want to make a TSA incompetence joke here but nah. #monsterdon
All this bluster about the Blood Rust.

Chekov's cranky toddler
ratigan is really bad at this
This is the weirdest pickup line ever.
T-10 Minutes until credits. Things are wrapping up fast... #monsterdon
But that would be too *dramatic* #monsterdon

No, what you ask is 'do you know dr. charles what's his face'
"Office of Internal Security", eh?
*squints suspiciously*
I have a lot of patience for this third lady giving Rattigan an appropriate amount of friction.
@jonny One buyer always buys the truth the other buyer always buys lies, you may ask them three questions
what. she "checks out" because she can provide "i.d." which consists of the plane ticket she bought with no i.d.?
#monsterdon
"Have to find out what?"
"Whether you're foxy enough to ferry a fungus..."
You know, it's weird, but I feel like this movie would be better if it were a spy movie, or if they actually were looking for a murder suspect or something.
I mean, they don't seem all that interested in the fungi outside of it being a MacGuffin.
"I'm a buyer, i never buy an item for itself"
Capitalism as a personality has never looked good #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
"I've seen the blood rust" *ELECTRIC GUITAR STING* #Monsterdon
@hollie lol but from what I understand that's actually kind of true, pilots train for all kind of crazy situations so nothing fazes them
Also they know the plane can probably fly quite a way with the tail on fire π
@klu9 Yes. I am getting slightly miffed about this bait & switch. At least other schlock tried to have a fun monster. Or anything. Even if itβs just a βmagneticβ monster. #monsterdon
Poor Ratigan. Clueless. #Monsterdon
BLOOD RUST
If you're not sure, just turn the fucking plane around. Jesus Christ.
At least this one challenged him.

"Get busy will you, you don't have much time."
"THEN STOP INTERRUPTING ME."
"i'm a buyer, a buyer never buys anything for herself" what kind of riddle social convention shit is this #monsterdon

uh oh the bubbling goo is bubbling and gooing the cargo hold
@srol@mellified.men "oh no, i'll have to file my report from the beach'"
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Elaine, why did you give in when he showed you an "internal security" card? You were doing so well with "give them nothing".
#monsterdon Do you want a pillow, blanket, and a happy ending?
More dramatic music as she announces she βdoes touch it up a bitβ.
Very appropriate.
Oh not only is there a lounge on the plane but she's traveling without identification.
I concur with whomever said it before: this is almost certainly a DC-4.
@Violinknitter With FUNGUS #monsterdon
From the files of Police Squad!
Ah the 50s. Put on your most uncomfortable clothing and travel.
Fungus! In the luggage compartment! With the... hmmm. Threatening heaving?
Elaine, future secretary at a privacy firm
Excuse me, stewardess? Iβd like to hold interviews with all the attractive young women in the lounge. Thank you. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
The [dramatic orchestral music] subtitle for that sting was underselling it.
Elaine Frohman, mother of Abe Frohman, Sausage KING of Chicago. #monsterdon
"But why should I?"
Good question! It is ALWAYS shit the fuck u... oh, dang. well.
Froman? The sausage KING of Chicago?

Ominous fungal overgrowth #Monsterdon
"I'm not answering any questions. Am I being detained?"
Only one way to defeat the space fungus: cook a gigantic risotto #monsterdon
Rattigan? I swear he said his name was Rattigan.
I love how calm pilots are portrayed to be, in just any situation at all
"The entire tail is on fire? Well son that'll just take care of itself if you wait long enough <draws on pipe>, go on now, sit back down."
Or they could make the sensible decision and just turn back regardless
but noooo
A creep requests a private place to accost pretty brunettes and everybody's like "Of course, sir"
#monsterdon apparently blood rust feeds exclusively on luggage
find you a girl that got that alien fungus
#monsterdon
Hey dude, now that she is definitely in this plane, MAYBE SHOUT THAT YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOURSELF BECAUSE OF AN ALIEN SPORE!!
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
Looking for **A GIRL**
@strangefour OMG Rattigan just told the air crew they're carrying Typhoid Mary! #SpaceMonsterX7 #Monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
hey now I think that panic *IS* the biggest worry
"typhoid Mary"
yeah let's not panic anybody or anything.
@randy_s I was thinking DC-7, but you may be right.
Whaaa. "clear the lounge"?
#Monsterdon
Wait, was that guy smoking a pipe in the cockpit?
A thousand Typhoid Marys!? That so many Daredevil villains in one plane.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
On the airplane Army Man is interviewing the brunette passengers one by one and he drops the explanation of "she's a Typhoid Mary" to the pilot, which is the analogy I was using. Laura overhears this and is briefly worried that she might be putting people at risk.
Then she gets interviewed but continues to be mildly evasive. Army checks her coat but does not seem to identify her. Army guy makes a pass at her and lets her go easily, because mistakes I guess.
Tobacco smoke keeps the bolshevism away

BTW, my Bingo card has "Kiss" on it. Does his attempt to kiss his ex earlier count, I wonder?
Did she spray some of the hair dye on her brows too? #monsterdon
So fancy that they had lounges up in the air back them. Nowadays you are lucky to have any hand baggage without paying extra for it
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7
Push to talk? First uber, now they have Discord?
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
"Keep it down, kid, don't you know you're going to DIE OF MUSHROOMS!!!"
Could you just imagine asking a stuardess on a plane about other passengers, then saying you needed to question them and getting it without ever actually showing a badge or anything?
Again, make it make sense.
Also, Captain of the aircraft look like Richard Nixon to anyone else?
#monsterdon Wait, she was under a pseudonym, and now not, and then she will be, because that was a flub.
THEYRE GOING TO A LOUNGE
ON A PLANE
THIS IS TRULY SCIENCE FICTIOn
#monsterdon
Chekhov's cute child.
I know "Hand" is a proper surname, I've met a Hand, but it still sounds like the least imaginative name a writer could come up with, looking at his own hand on the keyboard...
"Are there any good-looking brunettes? I'd like to talk to each of them one by one."
"If it's necessary."
"Oh, it's necessary, alright. So... necessary."
@SordidAmok hey, he saw an opportunity and took it. #Respect #monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Fortunately, they will be able to smoke the fungus to death
oh no puppy is going to die.
As an early version of βPlanes, Trains, & Automobiles,β it does leave something to be desired. #Monsterdon
Oh, wait, one of the pilots is smoking. #Monsterdon
Smoking a pipe in the cockpit, as you do
"clear the lounge, we gotta give all the ladies A HAND" #Monsterdon
"...what's a tweed like you doing in a place like this"
No, no, no, it's Ratigan, not Roger. #monsterdon
@ricci i think the detective would have to ride her out of the emergency escape doors going yee haw to be a doctor strangelove #monsterdon
Listen buddy, I'm not explaining all the good looking brunettes on this plane. #monsterdon
There is ~16 minutes left of this movie.
#Monsterdon
He keeps asking about good-looking brunettes to blondes and I think they are too well-bred to call him on it #monsterdon
She's lookin' at this guy like "Oh you silly boy with your tweed fetish!"
#monsterdon shit, I think that IS a DC-4? Don't order the halibut, lady, I don't care how good it was on last week's flight...
while typing: The 1950's when a random dude could just hop on a plane at the last second, ask a FA for PII about the women on the plane, then have them set up speed dating with them, no questions asked.
@srol It was a different time.
The DC-7 had a much longer range than I expected. 5600 miles, cruising speed of 360MPH.
I think a DC-4 with range enough for a non stop flight.
#monsterdon
I guess "good looking brunette" really nails it down.
