"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

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

#Monsterdon This feels like a more serious version of Jerry Lewis' #VisitToSmallPlanet. 🤔
#StrangerFromVenus

Are his fingertips rock formations?
#monsterdon

He's getting more German in every scene! #Monsterdon

Ahhhh, there's the smoking. Took a while.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"Our schools are not like yours. Have you heard of... The Great Link?"

#monsterdon

Nice dig at the human languages.

#Monsterdon

Will someone please tell the police chief that he's about 15 minutes earlier in the movie than everyone else? #Monsterdon

@wohali "Wait, it spells out... 'all cops are bastards'!? Where'd you get all those fingers!?" #monsterdon

Hello random painting of a noble in a ruff I don't have time to try and google up.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

had to join in on the beer action

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"I'll just be putting this autumnal display somewhere more convenient"

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

My God, he's demanding *more* cuckcoo clocks!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Wow. That is so not how you do fingerprinting.

his fingerprints look like the War Master control diagrammes

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Would have preferred the fingerprints to have been smiley faces.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

His fingerprints are gonna spell out 'G E T F U C K E D"#monsterdon

He's got finger-pads!

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

figured out gardening, couldn't think up a name #monsterdon

@yatsu longer than that, it's in puddinhead wilson, the mark twain story

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@paco VCAB #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"No-one in or out"

[Immediately opens the gate for the next vehicle]

"I'm sorry, Gretchen, where's your father?" [leaves immediately]

#monsterdon

a display of fingerprinting technique just to show it off. when was this movie made? i mean, fingerprinting's been around since like the 20s or 30s right? #monsterdon

Whew! I was really worried about that centerpiece

#monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Was taking fingerprints part of immigration forms in 1950s UK? #Monsterdon

That passing scene was some action, there

#monsterdon

Seriously though, what was Stranger's goal here? To do some gardening with plants he's never seen before and taste some Earth food?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Venus dude is instinctively suspicious of the police. Some things apparently are universal all over the solar system. #monsterdon

If this were a 1950s film from Japan the military would already be shelling this guy to no effect #monsterdon

Oh wow. I wasn't expecting bare breasts in this movie. But there we are. Full frontal monsterfucker bait. :p
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Yeah, save the centerpiece, man. #monsterdon

"A world figure in the field of newspaper journalism"

Oh, you mean a journalist?

#monsterdon

love how he waited to show his face to tell he is from venus. Bt at least he could be something different, like a cyclop.
#monsterdon

So, the army has blockaded the area. Nobody leaves.

The staff car is waved through - and they're expecting aliens!

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I absolutely won't try to sneak through the woods.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch Aaaand still NO COFFEE!

"Nobody allowed in... or out." immediately lets someone in

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

onh-honh! so the French are involved!

#monsterdon

That's about how I'd imagine the U.N.I.T. TV series to go...yeah. #monsterdon

@Bluedepth He uses SPF 50 Coppertone #monsterdon

Oh hey, here comes the Prime Minister. #monsterdon

He speaks Latin too? Such a learned Renaissance Venusian.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I have much more important things to do than talk to a guy from Venus!

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Dramatic tire shot ...

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@moira Now I want to see a movie about Cuckoo Voltron #monsterdon

Narrator: they will be late #monsterdon

It's good that Venusians read Plato.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Luring the guy who said he's from Venus into a conversation: "uhhh yeah I was reading a book... about VENUS..." 👀👀👀

#Monsterdon

Most of (this part of England)'s atmosphere is dust. Is this a comment on pollution / smog around London?

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

if this guy's a hitchhiker where's his towel, huh?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

what's the name of the actress playing Susan? her voice is so distinct, but i can't place her.

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

if the rest of the movie is just this guy describing normal earth things extremely slowly i am gonna start just posting allcaps song lyrics from the music i'm playing over his voice #monsterdon

I'm sorry to be still so hung up on the newspapers, but if there's a coverup and the media is saying nothing happened ... why did we see the newspapers??? #Monsterdon

Okay, this is interesting science going on, but they moved one so quickly from the fact it took him 12 days to adjust it feels like the doctor has no interest in discussing further. #Monsterdon

So he practiced holding his breath real long, then. #monsterdon

okay now i really do get the kate mulgrew comparison yeah i see it

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Scene 25 requires us to be over there. Please come with me. #monsterdon

Venusians with German accents. Checks out. #Monsterdon

@amyfou Everything else makes total sense. #monsterdon

and by "temporary" he means, another 45 minutes. #monsterdon

It's like that injury makeup was never on her at all!

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

The doc realizes that the atmospheres of Venus and Earth are very different - and then gets it completely backwards.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

The old book on Venus sounds wrong. Did it just say that Earth has a way thicker atmosphere than Venus?

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

"That is a reasonable comparison. Completely wrong, but reasonable."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@srol To me it always makes me think it's a film about Housing and Urban Development #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh-oh...here comes the big GOTCHA!....

So the Stranger if a botanist? Just like ET.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

well, the radio is never wrong, so i guess that's it for this movie. great time, everybody, thanks for joining us. (^_^) #monsterdon

Dr. No Boundaries. Yeesh. #monsterdon

I really like this extremely old building though
#monsterdon

"According to the radio, you don't exist at all."

How often do you ask the radio questions, Doctor?

#monsterdon

This American lady reminds me of Kate Mulgrew. #monsterdon

Typical. They find an undocumented immigrant, and immediately put him to work in their garden.

#monsterdon

"Your pagh is strong, my child..." #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

@paco It's a series of tubes #monsterdon

The thing I do appreciate is that they didn't automatically launch into a romantic subplot with Helmut and one of the ladies #monsterdon

never payed his taxes? Wow, that's the dream!
#monsterdon

Wait, did they not show us a newspaper front page? Just wanted to remind us of the concept of newspapers? #Monsterdon

you don't know what that glowy thing is, you could be watching the venusian jerk off for all you know, you weirdo #monsterdon

Um, it's a bit hard to tell in the copy I'm watching, but are all the cuckoo clocks set to different times?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Not a single working clock in the joint. #Monsterdon

This movie needs more DRAMATIC... PAUSES

#monsterdon

good lord that man must be tall #monsterdon

Front page of The Times: OLD MAN TOUCHES FOREIGNER'S WRIST #Monsterdon

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CUCKOO CLOCKS

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus
