@wrog @RobynGoodfellow And he didn't get a chance to tell his officers he was flying off, either! #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterX7
Look, the main thing this movie has going for it is that Dr. Mustache isnβt in it anymore
speed dating in the lounge
All these boring spores, at least this one did stuff fun... #Monsterdon
That kid looks stoned #monsterdon
Ah, the days when stewardesses must be single (and maybe still had to be be nurses?).
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
the spray-brunette is gonna leave a mark on that nice white cloth over the headrest
"Sure, let the plane with the alien virus in it fly, think of the Economy!"
Bit of COVID humour there...
Not only do we have to find someone who can fly this plane, we have to make sure they didn't have fish for dinner.
This entire movie was like the first 10 minutes of "The Stand".
Travel music! #Monsterdon
Iβll take that blanket π΄ #monsterdon
Pilots have radios. In case you wanted to call them.
@GramrgednAngel oh I guess that makes more sense then
They got loads of cold case files in the back of missing women having small imperfections
I stopped caring/paying attention at least 30 minutes ago. Am I supposed to be rooting for her to get away? #monsterdon
Thatβs roughly how it went last time I flew out of LAX. #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
"...tweed coats, eh? Haven't heard of that fetish before."
i want more blob monsters
The locations and sets in the movie have been kind of impressive. More than I usually expect from pulpy 50s schlock. #monsterdon
*and* they're going to leave whats-his-name on there stuck flying to Hawaii?
@RobynGoodfellow No, I guess everyone on the plane will get spored now. #Monsterdon #SpaceMonsterX7
@Lazarou It probably takes more than five minutes just to pay these days
We might be facing a world wide space pandemic, but whatever you do don't delay that plane!
"They are holding the plane for you."?!?!?!
This movie is science fiction.
#Monsterdon
What type of plane is that...
#monsterdon
Why did twink cop not just STOP the plane and set everyone on fire?
Watching her pack was compelling...
Side note: let's bring back pillbox hats
Wow what a used coffee can that plane is
#monsterdon
The first mild obstruction in this guy's path and he immediately resigns himself to going to Hawaii. I probably would too #monsterdon
Pilots not willing to relinquish babes
Evidently police work is all about asking for good-looking women
@plaidtron3000 - good catch ... yes, the movie predates Hawaii statehood.
"...the inflight meal will be mushroom soup"
@josh0
Oh, hell no
Watch them stop the plane and run aboard going, "Okay, all the total babes are going to need to come with me!"
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
the ppl on the plane are waving out the plane windows and I always want to do that too but it feels silly
If they thought she was on the plane, wouldn't they just stop the plane from taking off instead of just getting on the plane to ride along?
What the sense make?
20 minutes left for anything to happen #monsterdon
The 50s had it so good. When I get an Amber Alert on my cell phone, I WISH I got more than a general description. π€¦ββοΈ
Los Angeles infected with spores? Gonna hafta burn the place down!
TOA! TOA! 2000!
Alien slime in the hotel room. FINALLY.
#Monsterdon
They're holding the plane for you so hurry and we'll give your luggage to some of the slowest workers we have and they'll get it there whenever... #monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
that's not how airports work anymore, sadly.
The 1950s, everyone: they would hold the plane for a flippin' standby passenger.
1958 Airport ID check: Are you human? Please point to all the pictures of bicycles.
I feel like calling ahead would have saved a lot of efforts by these government agents
#monsterdon
@Configures That would be fun to watch
"hello, yeah, I need to napalm a whole building in LA"
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7
@strangefour Huh I guess I wouldn't know if it is... I thought it just means they don't offer credit (i.e. you have to pay when you eat)
Does she have her passport? I'm betting this movie predates Hawaii being a state, so she's kinda technically leaving the country.
Life before TSA #monsterdon
Run, lady, he knows who you are! You've been fingered by Hand! #Monsterdon
They had doordash way back then? #Monsterdon
Working title: Fungus On The Orient Express
Air travel was a lot different in the day
#monsterdon
just walk off the street and have a plane ticket in five minutes, is that possible now?
I want to see Robert Stack fighting his way through the terminal
This boarding student better not be a jerk
ok just because a gal has a little blood rust doesn't mean she is a threat to public health. it's not a crime for a doll to have cute teeth and a pug nose #monsterdon
But seriously, if she was carrying, like, microfilm she didn't know about this could be a spy movie. Except for the occasional fungus appearance, there's basically no science in this fictionβ¦
kill it before it kills Kirk's brother! #monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
um do chemical warfare experts know how to kill fungus tho? I think they know how to burn people's eyeballs out, only
OK, the fungus didn't eat the girl but is eating her luggage?
She has become the army of the 12 mold-keys.
Whew, she escaped.
#Monsterdon
@jivens Doctor Who?
Went from monster movie to police procedural. Genre-bending action!!
@Taweret : I wonder what the fungus is doing?
You know the melted marshmallows on Thanksgiving sweet potatoes? That's what I keep thinking of whenever they show the monster goo
finally! i was wondering what the rust blob was doing now
#monsterdon
It appears blondes are immune to the blood rust #monsterdon
Sheβs so afraid her husband is going to find out something, so she dyes her hair blond & expects him not to notice? Or does the brunette spray wash out?
@diazona That feels like a really specific joke/political message from a narrow slice of time.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX-7
... are we allowed to talk about the United States chemical warfare division in 1958? #monsterdon
he's gonna hit it with the phone
that'll kill it
those old phones would kill anything
Babies on the plane.. So sweet!
They'll have to be burned.
#monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Well *obviously* the hotel clerk is listening to everyone's phone calls
Man, Door Dash was super useful in 1958! #Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
oh, no, that dude does make it a habit. #monsterdon
There isn't much more time to get a Space Master on the scene. I'm concerned.
#Monsterdon #SpaceMasterX7
Oopsie - we have a blood rust spill. Yep, torch the hotel.
23 minutes to go. Still time to turn this around! #monsterdon
Uh-oh.... Looks like someone's getting decontaminated... again! #monsterdon
I've never heard "five'll get ya ten" outside the lyrics of Mac the Knife before. #monsterdon
So this guy was listening in on all her calls...don't suppose I'd like to patronize this place of lodging #monsterdon
Well, we need to burn the hotel now. Just to be safe.
#Monsterdonπ πβπ« π π½ π±
so the hotel manager listens to your phone calls i guess
"Please leave so we can toss the room"
Why She didn't become a rust fungus jelly yet?
#monsterdon
#spacemasterx7
βShe shoooooorre did.β
5 MINUTES?!
