"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

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"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

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

"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

@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

oh we got a sovereign citizen here #monsterdon

Ooooh, a _billionaire_ okay

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"Your daughter seems to want me to stay." Cheeky bloke!
#monsterdon

Ascots and huge barrels and accents. And a slow talking foreigner who likes shrubbery.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

in the 1950s, aliens were more polite and just murdered people to steal their cars #monsterdon

pretty cool how Strangers from Venus believe in the power of leather belts and pants

#monsterdon

bartender might as well be speaking gibberish he is just letting his tongue mash around in there #monsterdon

J.R.R. Tolkien can't be disturbed from his plans to make C.S. Lewis Catholic. #Monsterdon

tom hardy, father of frank and joe? #monsterdon

@wohali
The side steering wheel is on changes, sometimes in the same scene!

#Monsterdon

Weird bar that puts spotlights on all of its tables like that. #monsterdon

lol, walk into any British country pub that forlorn and that's exactly how they'll react when you come in

#monsterdon

Ah, the classic 'mysterious stranger walks into a bar' scene. I bet he orders a Venusian cocktail!" #monsterdon

Indiana Jones. Always knew you'd walk back into my life some day. #monsterdon

[leans over to date, whispers] (that's the stranger from Venus)

#monsterdon

You can tell it’s a dramatic film because of the music. #Monsterdon

Yeah that's about what happens every time I try to land in Flight Simulator #monsterdon

that was a wild car crash for 1954! #Monsterdon

Nice chin lighting. Those 1950s cars were fancy. #Monsterdon

Man, that radio announcer doesn't have a voice for radio. He doesn't even have a FACE for radio. :/ #monsterdon

what are we calling this startreky music, sound in the opening?

#monsterdon

And opening sequence – looks like we're coming in for a landing on Farmer Brown's back 40.

#Monsterdon

Authentic British peasant there

#monsterdon

This story with a plot thing and these semi-romantic interludes with a space creature and a drooling Patricia Neal are making me wonder about the nature of #Monsterdon anymore.

WE GOT MOTION SICKNESS SIIIIIIIIIIGN

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@Taweret I generally try to avoid being that guy who's all "I don't want to say I told you so..."

But we could have watched Christopher Lee! And Peter Cushing!
And Telly Savalas! All in one movie! With an actual monster!

#monsterdon

@Taweret @Louisa I’m interested but only if we set a new “longest movie title” record. An old friend of mine holds that record - and records, as they say, are meant to be broken. #Monsterdon

My son made up some reason to come downstairs and catch a glimpse of of #monsterdon

Was deeply disappointed.

@allanb back when i was a musician, my personal band did a song for that movie's fandom

https://crimeandtheforcesofevil.bandcamp.com/track/kaiju-meat

#monsterdon

@apLundell @Taweret @Louisa Nobody talks much about the wall decor in any of those, hmm #monsterdon

@Taweret @apLundell @Louisa Or maybe she could give birth to a child in a film titled "Son of Stranger from Venus" #monsterdon

anyway good job surviving tonight's experience in the void and thanks to @Taweret for hosting

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

@Taweret @apLundell @Louisa Too bad they didn't make a sequel where we could watch the couple's marriage unravel because of "what might have been" #monsterdon

@moira @Lazarou @srol Their left or our left? #monsterdon #istilldontknowwhichonewasleftshark

@srol You wish

#Monsterdon

Okay #monsterdon is over, you can all unmute me now…

…uh guys? Everyone? Oh crap.

@DinosaurRobo the poster waaaaayyyyy oversells it. #monsterdon

Lol "Devil Girl from Mars" is the movie I was confusing this with and it's literally next in the playlist. #Monsterdon

@ricci @CactuarJoe That was the big takeaway we can all enjoy #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @ricci That's not fair, there *was* that one scene where some guys played cards #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 @CactuarJoe several moments too late. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Not a moment too soon! #monsterdon

@Taweret Yeah like it's not the worst movie we have seen. But it has to be the most forgettable. Even the shockingly dumb bits like the Stranger just vanishing to death at the end aren't weird enough to stick in your head.
#monsterdon

@paco Just look at that wanton little trollop, lusting after a man from Venus! #monsterdon
