@ottaross is it progressing? The word I'd use is "plodding" and that's rather generous #monsterdon

Venusians, watching the Brady Bunch. #Monsterdon

@ottaross Check its fingerprints #monsterdon

"I come here when I want to be alone." That's why you brought the Stranger along, right?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

🦖"He makes you feel like a moron, but I like him."

#monsterdon Hoping they take over the world.

Edelweiss, edelweiss~♫ #Monsterdon

Actually, Venus isn't millions of light years away...

#monsterdon

I do love in 50s scifi when aliens say stuff like "we don't have schools/cars/homes like you're used to"

The US/UK changed a lot in the 20th century, these people's PARENTS didn't have schools/cars/homes like they're used to

#Monsterdon

venusian: take me to your leader.
#monsterdon

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

I love the trope of aliens who know us from our TV and radio shows.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Such eurocentric language selection! It’s not even different language families really! Those are nearly mutually intelligible!

Now's he's just showing off. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Please pick a non Indo-European language to show off your skills?

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

he speaks english, spanish, german, french, russian, and italian! he must be from ---- europe!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, so they have Duolingo on Venus. That's why he's here - he's running from Duo!

"In German? I thought you'd never ask"

#monsterdon

"Now, read the funnies in Esperanto!" #monsterdon

[looking at a fingerprint covered in hexagonal imprints]

This guy's chock full of flavor crystals!!

#Monsterdon

Has anyone offered anyone coffee yet? COFFEE? COFFEE! #monsterdon

"In what way?"

"For one, we actually want people to learn."

#monsterdon

30 minutes in before someone remarks that Venus dude speaks English. #monsterdon

Stranger should wink to the police officer and go "If you think my fingers are strange" and then whip it out

#monsterdon

ok we are too far into the movie for people to keep being surprised that the guy from venus is not a human we got that out of the way in like the first 30 seconds #monsterdon

haha wow how does he know that
#monsterdon

loving the hexagonal fingerprints there

#monsterdon

His fingerprints spell out "FUCK COPS"

#monsterdon

It would be really funny if the guy demonstrating how fingerprints are taken to help assuage the Venusian's fears just started screaming in agony right now. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon These british dramas are also so incredibly polite.

Perfectly normal for the authorities to have a friendly conversation with the alien in a pub.

Hey! That guy stole the big floral centrepiece! That's a key plot point, right?

#monsterdon

@kcarr2015 very British, we hung a monkey once as a foreign spy #monsterdon

Military blockades always bring peace and quiet!

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

i want a giant 50s car. three lanes wide and as tall as bigfoot. just an absolute parade float of a car

#monsterdon

So how come the bar's inside the front room of the castle from The Pit and the Pendulum? #monsterdon

I bet those Police officers don't pay for those meals.....

#monsterdon

@amyfou They spent the whole budget on pronunciation, nothing left for special effects. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus Some newspapers get released explaining that a guy from Venus crashed into a car and then wandered into a pub. The government denied this, I guess because it follows Conspiracy Theory logic and figures it needs to cover up things for no reason. Anyway, the Obvious Alien does some gardening and I guess throws up a perimeter around where the Obvious Alien and Other Characters are staying.

"Don't try to leave through the woods. We have our orders."

That's wartime british for "We will shoot you. Pip pip! Cheerio!" And the doctor understood that.

#monsterdon

you simply can't be threatening with an english accent like that, it's like when a pokemon tries an attack and the game goes "but it failed" without further explanation because it needs none #monsterdon

Okay that ominous comment about not going through the woods cause they have “Orders” is very intimidating. They rolled a nat 20 on that.

#Monsterdon

"we just fought a whole war against people who just had their orders why i outta"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I *love* it in old scifi movies when aliens say "in xx of your hours." Yes, they are ours, we're quite proud of them. #Monsterdon

"Many months?" What, Earth months or Venusian months? #monsterdon

So if you practice to 12 days you can breath Earth's polluted atmosphere? Yeah sure...
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Venusian: "Your atmosphere is mostly dust! Without it, you wouldn't be able to breathe!"

Professor [taking a huge puff on his pipe] "Incredible!"

#monsterdon

Our Venusian has a bit of an Austrian accent, if I'm hearing it right.

It's got a weird over-dub sounding to it though. I wonder if he's voiced by a different person.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I am baffled by the english accents, even excluding the east european coded venusian speech.

12 days of training, huh.

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

Let me explain....
#monsterdon

@trixter @Lazarou Won't do, his wrist's in the wrong place #monsterdon

🌕TRIVIA FROM VENUS🌕

Weird Physics: Dr. Meinard says that a Venusian breathing on Earth would be like an Earthling breathing underwater, but Venus' atmosphere is much denser than Earth's, so it's just the opposite.

#StrangerFromVenus #TheVenusian #Monsterdon

@Lazarou He could join the X-Men! #monsterdon

Where would one get a pair of those Venusian stripey pants?

#Monsterdon

he figured out earth gardening pretty quick #monsterdon

Everyone seems super cool with the whole from Venus thing. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"...according to the radio you're a false rumor"
"That will be my name, then. Mr. False Rumor"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"No, I can't read your mind, I'm just a psych major"

i came here to heal your wounds and garden, and you are all out of wounds. #monsterdon

The #internet in 1954. #monsterdon

i don't participate in #Monsterdon, but i enjoy reading through toots. it's like reading notes without an actual book. pretty entertaining.

The real monster was the cuckoo clock mecha which all these individual clocks join to form

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#Monsterdon The real monster was us Earthlings. 😈
#StrangerFromVenus

@paco #monsterdon

The Stranger is a serial killer who collects limps. #monsterdon

Oh he's got one of those little hand massagers, those are nice - it must be a very advanced society!

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

There's a lot of horny old white men looking at each other through windows now....lemon party this fucker lads

#monsterdon

Ha ha - saw that one coming.

#monsterdon

You can tell he’s from another planet because he’s wearing a semi turtleneck. #Monsterdon

MORE ORGANS MEANS MORE HUMAN

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@starkraving666 They're doing all the MIME hits. "help i'm locked in this room" and "I can't touch him he has a force field". Soon I expect to see someone get stuck in a totally invisible antimatter box. #monsterdon

I do like the realistic escalation from "this guy isn't answering questions normally" to "let's get the police and the government involved"

#Monsterdon

stranger from venus coming into the girl's room unannounced like he's some Archangel Gabriel or something

#monsterdon

They should've given him a third eye, revealing White Guy N+1 wasn't that dramatic. #monsterdon

CAN YOU JUST CALL UP THE MILITARY LIKE THAT #monsterdon

NONE of these old men can keep their hands off Miss North. Stranger, liberate this woman!

#monsterdon

DRAMATIC TUUUUUURN! #monsterdon

the completely normal looking guy reveal is unhinged #monsterdon

She is the only person so far with an American accent. Kinda strange. #monsterdon

With the framing of the Stranger I'm almost expecting it to be revealed that *GASP* he isn't white! But I doubt this old movie is gonna pull that one.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"i remember i felt no more pain."
it was sybok (sp?). watch out lady, that's not god. #monsterdon

"A hundred burning hammers all at once"

kinky

#monsterdon

Whatever the problem is, brandy will fix it #monsterdon

Ha ha. "Get her some brandy".

The doctors in these old british movies always prescribe brandy. It apparently cures literally everything.

#monsterdon

i've either seen this set before or i've seen parts of this movie before and i dunno but this movie is preeeeeeeeety forgettable

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

A-plus effort to make it seem there is a force field holding off the hands. Good acting there.

#Monsterdon

There is nothing worse than a drunk Venusian. #Monsterdon

"That's very good."

"But that's plain water!" No one drinks that in Britain!!

#monsterdon

He is either an amnesia case or insane. He must have something to do with the car accident. You've got some strong deductive skills. #monsterdon

There better be some dramatic reveal of this guy's face, like it green, or he has two noses, or he doesn't have one

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

We are very pointedly not showing the Stranger's face. The back of his head is lovely, though.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

is this gonna be like a twilight zone episode, where we reveal his face at the end and it turns out he has a cleft lip or something? coz... #monsterdon

@bunnyhero A scene that could only be improved by gratuitous eyebrow waggling #Monsterdon

Ugh, These small town pubs seem charming until you're forced to make small talk with the owner three seconds after you order.

#monsterdon

A drunk man and a dead man walk into a bar...
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"I am drunk— or you are dead" #monsterdon

@Bluedepth Haven't we all been there? #monsterdon

“I have never paid taxes” and the conservative guy is suddenly very interested. #Monsterdon

Not even making an attempt to figure out how to act like a normal human before just dropping by and interacting. Just YOLOing first contact. Amazing

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@Lazarou I should try that more often. #monsterdon
