I wonder if the magnet trick was improvised while the director just motioned to stretch out the scene.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

The doc discovered magnets! #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon A stranger of Venus arrived in the backyard It was a orange cat.

Partner: you sure know what earth chicks like to hear.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

If he is from Venus, and if this is his first time on Earth, then literally nothing in his field of view is something he has EVER seen. Water, Trees, Grass, insects, sunlight, houses, flowers, electric lights, a blue sky. But yes, also the girl. #monsterdon

We all love a good time playing with magnets.

#Monsterdon

Man. This wasn't a fast movie to begin with but we are in *the mud* here. Jeez. #Monsterdon

i too, enjoy scenes where we stare at people's bar receipts for 5 solid minutes. #monsterdon

WE BREWED IT FIRST
SO WE KNOW IT BEST
is WE SMELT IT AND WE DEALT IT for beer

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I’ll admit, his seduction skills have me a little dewy. #Monsterdon

"I should be sorting out my lines, getting my tackle in order"

Sir, this is a family film

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon 🎼 You are 16 going on 17 🎶

????????????? #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

The Strange got some rizz. Very archaic but he's got some.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"Mind if I take your hand over?" Even more wrist-touching!! #Monsterdon

...So is something going to happen in this scene, ooooor #Monsterdon

Coffee! We knew it had to be coming!

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I don't know anything about human societies or anatomy or thoughts or emotions, but I'm so horny for you Susan

#Monsterdon

He started fishing in his late 50s
#monsterdon

@apLundell Well Earth Girls are easy. Might as well try while he's in town.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

What card game are they playing, and is that coffee or tea?

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon It's giving AI vibes

#monsterdon Nothing better to do than play cards.

I don't like Arthur yet, either.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Wait, they need to gather all of the world's leaders, and they're... playing cards?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I kinda wish he looked more alien.

This isn't a joke, it's actually kind of refreshing how absolutely nothing is happening in this movie. #Monsterdon

"I would tell them that you are very quiet and warm (<35dB at 1m, 308K)"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@jonny They have a chemistry, but it's an extraterrestrial chemistry #monsterdon

Is that Swift Boat Whatever John Kerry there on the right? #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

"And that I've been rummaging around in your brain like an attic!" #Monsterdon

@apLundell well, the word is in the solar system that earth girls _are_ easy

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

her eyes are soft and sensitive? are you gonna eat them? #monsterdon

The Stranger flirts, in a rather intellectual way.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"I would tell him that you are very quiet.. and very warm. Like a bag of microwaved rice."

#monsterdon

"...what will you tell them about me?"
"Not to sit in the passenger seat."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

here comes the venusian falling in human love sequence but they are both acting like venusians. how can one transcend interplanetary cultures with the force of a love made of people who talk like they're reading a cereal box #monsterdon

@wohali @SeanAloysiusOBrien same #monsterdon

@srol Look, he doesn't have access to wikipedia, just the google AI summary

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"I come here when I want to be alone."

You had one job. #monsterdon

What is this thing you humans call... Love? #Monsterdon

"A spacecraft will be landing on our soil that traveled millions of light years to get here." #Monsterdon

This is where the fish lives. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon might want to check how far millions of light years is

@Louisa and infinite cuckoo clocks

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

If this took place in the US, there would be alligators

#monsterdon

@RufusJCooter He had to take a long detour because of traffic. #Monsterdon

"...do you have pond scum on Venus?"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I'm fascinated by this giant empty pub with 20-foot ceilings and fake flowers and filthy walls

#Monsterdon

@moira they took the scenic route #monsterdon

#monsterdon Venus is millions of light years away! Who knew!

@blogdiva eyyyyyyyyyyyGOTTEM

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

How many light years are they coming from Venus?

#monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

35 minutes in, and i'm getting very "i have the most amazing world building idea but not a single plot idea in sight" vibes. #monsterdon

@strangefour My spouse is certain that this is the sphinx from Never Ending Story #monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

So the guy's goal is to meet with representatives from every government, and he went about it by trimming the hedges in Little Cottington?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

the walls are so drab. it's almost like the brits want us to believe they don't know anything about whitewashing 🙄

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Wait, now they've traveled millions of light years? Was Venus just a pit stop?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"...a craft that has travelled millions of light years"
"They must be taking the scenic route, then."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

millions of light years.... all the way from venus!

#monsterdon

it's like the Futurama where Lrrr and Ndndn want to know what happens next on Ally McBeal #monsterdon

#monsterdon Space watcher

they don't have anything more sophisticated than just watching human tv, they seem to be angling into the low end of the 'human' vs 'all powerful deity' axis. it seems like its species is a healer/bard species, he hasn't demonstrated any kind of weapons or cool fighting moves. i wouldn't be stressed about an invasion #monsterdon

I propose that "someone asks what monsterdon is" needs to be an item on all bingo cards going forward. Could even just replace the Free Space in the center. #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

tl;dr Venusians speak Esperanto #monsterdon

He's a gifted mansplainer too #monsterdon

Okay I do not get the rhyme or reason to why in some scenes the stranger's face is always obscured in some way while in others we just see him and he's, like, normal-looking human? #monsterdon

@strangefour Yes Rock Lords please #monsterdon

I don't understand this room, there's not a single cuckoo clock

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon Yeeeeeeep

Stranger has now become condescending. Casually drops a hint that there may be an invasion in two days.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

TISH! He spoke French! *swoon*
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"For a long time we've been watching and listening to you."
"How?"
"We just turn on the telly. Did you see the game last week? Terrible showing for Arsenal."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

We rarely communicate through speech. Instead, we transfer our thoughts by sending text messages through our phones. #Monsterdon

@Taweret he probably uses nearby humans' brains, parasitically, to understand the text

#monsterdon

"We have complete honesty. No one is ever misunderstood."

"Oh, no, we have that too. It was a direct-to-Netflix Ricky Gervais movie called The Invention of Lying that literally no one in the world watched."
#Monsterdon

@Taweret Unbelievable, there's no overhead tissue dictionary involved. #monsterdon

saved by pure Space Douche status by "remind us of our own history"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@trixter He's a Rock Lord from Venus?
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Now do Urdu #monsterdon

#Monsterdon you see, the fingerprints are because he’s 1/16th Kraken on his mother’s side. Those are actually tiny little sucker pads on my fingers. It makes grabbing objects far easier. Like, we’re way better at you at things like ass-grabbing, for example.

you can transfer thought and that allows you to read printed text in another language??

#monsterdon

@Louisa i thought maybe he has sticky gecko fingers

#monsterdon

Please explain...
#monsterdon

"For many years we have been watching you."

We... Like to watch. On Venus. :3 #monsterdon

Yes, we’ve been watching all your broadcasts since you are just sending them out for free. What, you think no one else uses space?

#Monsterdon

Lots of chiefs in this little hamlet. #Monsterdon

oooh, read his palm next! #monsterdon

He should have just done different accents.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"It is not difficult for us to transpose our thoughts in any of your languages"

Well, there goes the chances for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in this movie.

#Monsterdon

now he's just showing off. good for him. (^_^) #monsterdon

even venusian immigrants have to put up with "they're so articulate" comments

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

It's very important that the autumnal display be returned it its proper place!

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

(speaking in foreign language)

#monsterdon

"I speak with all the languages of men. Women, no one understands."

#monsterdon

This is the vision for the ideal EU citizen

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Damn. I don't have any beer in the house and all this beer drinking is making me crave it.

wow, he can translate! he must be an alien! (-_-) #monsterdon

"Has he taken anything?"
"We'll soon find out!"
"... Well, he's taken my disability, guess we should arrest him for theft."
#monsterdon

So much male hand to hand contact #monsterdon
