Couldn't they land at some other place? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Not bad for a mothership

It's just an overhead light fixture. #monsterdon

oh christ more arpeggios LEARN A SECOND TRICK, STRING SECTION

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

"I'm proud of your man, Susan."

So if you're looking for a third, it's kind of traditional for this kind of film... #Monsterdon

"He's gone"

lol, 'men'

#monsterdon

The disks for communication, stolen!

You mean your smoke detector from earlier? #Monsterdon

"I'm responsible for this operation, and I think this might be a bad idea"

"Yea well I'm a general buddy and I follow my orders"

He's… he's in charge tho? It *is* an order if he's in charge? Unless he's involved and not in charge.

#Monsterdon

Yes excellent let's just leave this magic hockey puck unattended I'm sure nothing will happen to it yes

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

That's a communication device? #monsterdon

Ooh got that Terminator 2 run. #Monsterdon

There are unknown unknowns.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

SO LOOOOONG SUCKERRRRRRRS #Monsterdon

The model work underwhelms.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

I guess Susan gets to go home now, so happy ending #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Retaliation? Our germs took out the Martians, what do we have to fear from the Venusians?

Well the doctor is having a nice laugh about this all atleast.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

The brakes / acceleration on their ship is really good.

#Monsterdon

How did they know how high to place the cables though? Did they actually get a good image of the ship that dropped Stranger off?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Wait, that's just a desk lamp! #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

So his communication discus was an under-cabinet light from Ikea?

#monsterdon

the desk lamp is landing

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

yep that sure is a desk lamp

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

She pities the alien. She ought to pity the audience #monsterdon

The countdown!

#monsterdon

Looks like they are are going to catch the UFO by upsizing the game MOUSETRAP?

#Monsterdon

flying sauceroo in the sky is the mothership

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

praying to the great god of the wall sconce. #monsterdon

"are we the baddies?" #monsterdon

So that's why Fred Sanford was a widower. Because the doctor couldn't get to her.

#monsterdon

ha ha ha ha DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! #Monsterdon

you were ramping up to alien invasion energy and then choked the life out of it by literally showing someone say "yes" over and over on the phone while someone else prays. what are you DOING out there #monsterdon

No counting the field and the stock footage, how many sets does this movie have? Two? #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

A highly advanced alien pager #monsterdon

This unknown metal sounds cool. Maybe we could see that and not two guys in a tent.

It’s not even a convincing tent.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"Oh holy potted plant, save us in our hour of need..." #Monsterdon

Doc's lost it.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

LOL oops the Archive.org copy of the movie is missing like 8 minutes apparently.

Abrupt ending I expected, but that was probably better than the one we were building up to

#Monsterdon

"Yep," he laughs. "Oh dear oh dear. I'm _so_ drunk."

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon That dude knows his stuff

The only possible thing that could make this worth watching is if everyone dies.

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

"Oh well. Now I would like to save millions of people but that would require betraying the British empire. And I just can't stand for that."
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Yes, pray to the light fixture.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Why is she talking to the furniture #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

"I'm not sure we're doing the right thing," is one of those sentences you can make the caption of any New Yorker cartoon and it will be funny #Monsterdon

throw switch, towers .... fall down. great work team everybody take five

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

@Lazarou WE conquer nations by inflicting incomprehensible games that only a pasty white man can win. Leave us now or we shall sport you a second time! #monsterdon

@srol It's like thousands of cuckoo clocks cried out and were silenced

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

this operation's been carefully planned... over the course of two whole days. what could go wrong? #monsterdon

Oh, look, they just discovered unknownium!

#Monsterdon

Dr. Meinhard, you're drunk, go home #monsterdon

why would they land on that thing that you built that's surrounded by soldiers? how stupid do you think they are?

#monsterdon

i refuse to believe that anything involved with any part of this was carefully planned

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Boy, since they listen to the radio couldn’t he get a radio to warn the ship of the impending doom?
Would tie in nicely with the whole, we are watching you speech.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Exerted himself too much in Earth's polluted atmosphere? #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"...it seems to be a metal totally unknown to us"
"The Venusian said that when it buzzes our meal will be ready."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

They're building the world's first magnetic steeplechase #Monsterdon

like that is classic humans, after being told for like 2 minutes using silverware as props that they use magnets somehow, they decide they know enough to try and capture a completely unknown but highly sophisticated apex species from another planet. if they have the last 5 minutes just be an all out SFX barrage of the humans trying and failing to wrangle a flying saucer i wouldn't mind that at all. #monsterdon

The British are the evil aliens trying to abusing a foreign culture and people? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!... well not that shocked.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

He threatened them with an ozone hole.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

This movie has the biggest Lost Skeleton of Cadavera energy of any movie we've done so far. #monsterdon

Those clocks on the wall all have different times.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

they stole his space walkman and now shit is going down

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon It's pure evil

"Oh ho ho I'm a big plummy bastard everything'll be fine ho ho ho" #Monsterdon

My mom, after angry alien rant: "You're in deep doo-doo now, dickhead!"

#monsterdon

@neia I suspect Tripadvisor is behind this somehow #monsterdon

I mean, focused sun attack is genuinely threatening...

but this film is wayyyyyyy too much "tell, don't show"

#monsterdon

But ze problem with a doomsday machine is that it's no good if you don't TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT. Why didn't you TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT?!

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

just this pub?? #monsterdon

oh hell yeah they're going to incinerate england

#monsterdon

And by peaceful we mean forcibly detaining your superiors. #monsterdon

If only Eagle Eye Cherry’s Save Tonight would start playing. #monsterdon

"...on Venus, we call this technique hot boxing."

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Suddenly a military night scene from a lesser kaiju movie?
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon 😶‍🌫️

Don't try to steal my ride. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"No one intends any harm!"

And so it's impossible for this to go hysterically wrong! #Monsterdon

no one intends any harm to that craft, we're just gonna capture it and keep it here against its will, no problem. #monsterdon

trying to steal the spaceship is the best reaction to alien visitors you could do basically #monsterdon

why would you tell the alien your plan to capture his ship?

#monsterdon

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

ugh, old-style night-filters #monsterdon

the movie is like when i have an accidentally long nap and have a hard time waking up #Monsterdon

ok i didn't see this twist coming, this has potential #monsterdon

I don't think we're going to see this space craft, I don't think it's one of those movies....with special effects.

#monsterdon

"And we will inflict blistering scorn on your beer!" #monsterdon

aw cmon alien, you couldn't catch a car? so much for cool powers #monsterdon

wait. hold up

is

are we doing something?

is someone in this movie doing something?

#monsterdon

DAMN THE COPS!
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

are they gonna surround the town and nuke it now? not that i'm objecting, mind you. #monsterdon

Are these supposed to be day-for-night shots, or just badly underexposed day shots?

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

This will be a day long remembered! #monsterdon

@Taweret yeah and then now somehow we are at war in a field #monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo He lived as he died, like Forrest Gump. #Monsterdon

@moira It's hilarious that Patricia Neal was in both that and *The Day The Earth Stood Still*. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

So, he said in her face this is a one night stand? Quite cocky Venusian.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Coolio

Ah, with a whopping 13 minutes left to go in this movie, an action with consequences for the "plot" has happened.

Good, I'm sure it will evolve naturally and not be a rushed mess into an abrupt ending

#Monsterdon
