Yes, Earth women LOVE it when you interrupt them and say what you thought they were thinking. #Monsterdon

the pa looks like Darren from I Love Genie and George W Bush had a baby

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I bet it's a hoot when all those cuckoo clocks go off at once.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

girl's pa ain't limping anymore? so stranger from venus is a kinesiology enthusiast. i knew that science was out of this world.

#monsterdon

The harp means it's serious. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

stranger from Venus going to work on her dad like he's a massage parlor worker 🤨

#monsterdon

Now that's room service!

#monsterdon

im reasonably certain you can't just call the ministry of war from a random pub

#monsterdon

Wait, did he just say he's from Venus? I knew those dating profiles were sketchy! #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@CactuarJoe "A million burning hammers, slamming into me, again and again..." #monsterdon

he’s got mime shield powers! #monsterdon

"either he's dead or my watch has stopped" (one of my fave groucho marx lines) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Finding a pulse or romantically holding hands. Or both. ;)

"...I have never paid taxes"
"Oh, so you're rich!"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

This pub has like 4 different aesthetics fighting for supremacy. #Monsterdon

@videograndpa yeah this week was not a good introduction xD

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@Taweret Thanks for hosting another #monsterdon, this one had everything: A mysterious colorization AI hellbent on trying to light the film on fire, accents, other accents, cuckoo clocks, T-1000 from the planet Venus, Striped pants, and of course the actress from the movie they were ripping off also in this movie somehow. I suspect this one spawned a few clauses in the standard contract.

Almost forgot - #monsterdon

@moira @RobynGoodfellow The real monster. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou @srol our left. stage right. or, uh, field right. abandoned football pitch right. but our left.

i mean, we all left, didn't we? spiritually if nothing else. i know my spirit left my body for a while there

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

mellified dot men tonight sending out all my #Monsterdon toots and faves

@Zerofactorial @Lazarou @srol yeah but left scaffolding tower really carries it

right's okay but it's left getting the work done

For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Stranger From Venus (1954) aka The Venusian.

Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"

... and you're done.

Thinking back, I have no idea what Susan's deal was

She kissed the Venusian of course, but she was engaged or something to that other guy? And they were locals, but they were both staying at the pub? But not in the same room, so I guess they weren't married?

Some of these are wrong I'm sure, but which ones :thinking_fidget:

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou @moira @srol Underrated by many #monsterdon

@steter much better, THINGS happen! #monsterdon

they travel with ebikes and fight with jazz

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

I might watch a real movie to get the taste of that #Monsterdon out of my brain

@Lazarou I wish there had been some marauding spiders but that's just me #monsterdon

They should’ve just titled this “Space Helmut”. It would have been funny at least. #Monsterdon

I was a little confused about Gretchen praying to the wall sconce.

I assume she was with one of the anti-magnetic lighting cults all along?

#Monsterdon

i fell asleep sorry fellas #Monsterdon

@blogdiva at least that would be an event. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I'd like to think of it as "pre-spoiled"

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@moira there are some movies that i don't like, and there are movies that don't make sense, but this was a movie that contained so little anything that i have no emotion about it at all #monsterdon

The downside of watching a version with ads, while some others are not, is that I had it spoiled for me that nothing continued to happen

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@Taweret pins "yes we watched stranger form venus" to profile

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Genuinely awestruck at the bravery of them to make the spaceship literally just an overhead light fixture. That was... well, I think it was a movie. Goodnight, #monsterdon!

I want Britain to sink into the sea now.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@CactuarJoe what characters, even. #monsterdon

@yatsu Events? What events? #Monsterdon

Bleh. That film tasted like sawdust and smelled like your grandma's sitting room. #Monsterdon

Release the trebuchet dogs! #monsterdon

REMEMBER, IF YOU DIED OF FRIGHT DURING THE VIEWING OF THIS FILM YOU ARE ENTITLTED TO A FREE COFFIN! #Monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon. As always, our thanks to @Taweret for hosting and to all the posters and lurkers. And remember #Monsterdoners: They'll probably blow us to bits.

uhm, okay

#monsterdon

MOVIE OVER NO REFUNDS #Monsterdon

Is that... Did he swipe Susan's panties, or...? #Monsterdon

British sci-fi can be such a wet blanket. #monsterdon

At no point was I on the edge of my seat #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"...Gretchen I think your prayers were heard."
"Glory be to light fixture!"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

If the army are stationed right below where a Spaceship will land then they're going to get fried.

Luckily it was shooed away by some scaffolding so...

#monsterdon

Thank god they didn't show any of the high-tension mission to recover the alien artifact, that could've been interesting. #Monsterdon

They can SEE that there's two ships and they're still going to trap the smaller one?

Why would they do that?

#monsterdon

Cute little alien saucer. #Monsterdon

You'd think, wouldn't you, that if there was a remarkably strong magnetic field right here on the village green (maybe the strongest on the entire planet?) that the local humans might have noticed it in any point of history or prehistory

#Monsterdon

Oo, saucer separation #Monsterdon

i hope the aliens have a 'the sun never sets on the british empire' zinger ready for when they use their solar weapon

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm yawning so hard lmao

"the mothership"

and he runs out the back door

#monsterdon

I see that now the pub is under mortal threat the policemen have gone

#monsterdon

@ottaross Rule number one in the alien takeover manual is to get with the local progeny bearing segment of the species. It’s on page 10 right after the introduction to planetary exploration. #Monsterdon

The film's decided to blow its special effects budget, hooray #monsterdon

Of course the British guy can call stealing from and kidnapping of someone from a different civilization "peaceful" with a straight face #monsterdon

Is this movie going to end with Venusians making all of Britain fuck off into the sea?
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon I'm curious how this'll end

Maybe Venus could have sent someone with tact? He's half a beat away from "You see! You see! Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!"
#Monsterdon

Not this pub and it's 500 clocks! #Monsterdon

"Why are you doing this?"

"I'm not able to discuss that"

"Then I will!!"

😨 The English weakness, openly discussing things!

#Monsterdon

I don't see any reason to alter our plans Arthur

#monsterdon

You have our WHAT on the other line?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon On Venus, men's shirts have buckles on the cuffs, and turtlenecks are coveted layering wardrobe mainstays.
#StrangerFromVenus

He's still bullshiting with this talk of "Other craft"

It'll be like that Simpsons episode, all cardboard and a bicycle

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Can’t the venusian read the fiancé guy’s mind to figure out the plan??

My goodness, look at all the clocks by the stairs #monsterdon

"I'm as fast as FIVE of your Earth cars!"

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

My god, they're being visited by the Department of Opening Cabinets In Fields! #Monsterdon

@allanb Rationing #monsterdon

@Lazarou
It kind of knocked us out of our malaise!

#StrangerFromVenus #TheVenusian
#Monsterdon 🦖

#monsterdon Flash Gordon?

Poorly shot day for night! We have poorly shot day for night! #monsterdon

I love how these old movies tried to make things look like night by filming during the day and doing something that doesn't quite work

#monsterdon

he chased a car and then fell down?

is that what happened?

am i supposed to have followed that?

#monsterdon

Meanwhile, in the US midwest:

#monsterdon

It would be ironic if he got hit by a car.

#monsterdon

Wait, was that a car accident?

Was that supposed to be a dramatic plot event?

#monsterdon

so i guess he's not faster than a speeding car. disappointing

#Monsterdon

Welp, time for the military to fuck everything up, I think #Monsterdon

Venusians - coming to our idyllic villages and putting the moves on our Earth women.

#Monsterdon

"Well forget it! You are not going to be told these things! You are not ready for it!"

- Me next year in department meetings.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

ceasing to exist is pretty much how death works here too

#monsterdon

the message about the future, the wooden performance... this is the Venusian Al Gore #monsterdon

"There's so many things I wanted to ask you about your world"

Since apparently the reporter doesn't give a shit, I mean #Monsterdon

#monsterdon booooooooorrrring, this is a pretty boring alien guys. Sorry not sorry but he's a boring alien.

Why does this movie even exist? The Day The Earth Stood Still was only 3 years before this one, and had things like....plot...and pacing.

#monsterdon

Susan, I am disappointed in you. Also everyone else in this movie #monsterdon

you couldn't handle my strongest potions, earth people!

#monsterdon

I'd trade space travel for nuclear bombs, but what if the space travel relied on nuclear bombs to work, what then Venusian?

#monsterdon #OrionDrive

This guy has a turtleneck undershirt
