#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

#Monsterdon So, they also kiss on Venus? That's an amazing coincidence.

Can you read my thoughts, hot Venusian man meat!!! #monsterdon

@paco OMG LOL

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Damn alien getting all preachy about our planet's failings. Cut us some slack. We are devolving, for God's sake! #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon The venusians kiss like humans!

"Death is simple. Comedy, that's hard."

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

saliva sample completed

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

He grabbed her face like he was going to steal her teeth. #Monsterdon

that Venusian rizz. #monsterdon

When you chase a car like that you're supposed to bark, didn't anyone tell you that? #monsterdon

@starkraving666 Monsieur! I must poop!

#monsterdon

I will kiss the boy from venus - for science!

#tmbg #monsterdon

@strangefour honestly would rather be watching superman 4 right now #monsterdon

Susan's actress sounds so much like Kate Mulgrew in places

#Monsterdon

ofc she's there. there's only two places. the pond and the pub

#monsterdon

No concept of personal space on Venus. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Venusian kiss!

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Wow guy really can't read women's minds. This is like the opposite of that Mel Gibson movie "What Women Want" #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

"I didn't know you were here."

I forgot I was psychic again. #Monsterdon

oh don't come to me with this attempt at landing the romantic plot that woman's only dialogue has been drink orders #monsterdon

oooooh, just occurred to me the pond is like a metaphor for primordial soup and shit. they're totally gonna petri dish their DNA.

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

there are only like 20 minutes left in this movie, are we taking bets on whether anything will actually happen? #monsterdon

And now for something completely different...a romantic interlude under a tree

#Monsterdon

Venus guy speaks the language of LUV #monsterdon

Wait. This is just the plot of Superman 4: the Quest for Peace. In the broadest most boring and British way possible.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Fancy meeting you here. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@moira WELL FORGET ABOUT IT #Monsterdon

If he can read minds why didn't he know she was there #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

“You are not going to be told these things! You are not ready for it!”

“Sir… this is a Wendy’s.”

#Monsterdon

the day the plot stood still #monsterdon

“We’ll forget it!”
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Meanwhile, back at the BRANCH #Monsterdon

that was some Ed Wood-grade dialogue right there from our venusian, i think it deserved a round of applause

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

oh yes, a warning about a problem many years in the future, world leaders always take that line of thinking seriously #monsterdon

"...well, fugettaboutit!"

And with that, it was revealed that the Venusian was actually from Jersey.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

NO space travel FOR YOU!

#monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Oh the old planet Marduk nuked itself and became the asteroid belt Sci-Fi story. A classic of some weird old novels.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Stranger is trying browbeating as a diplomatic technique.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

He forgot he could read thoughts again. #Monsterdon

This explanation of the dangers of nukes has got to be tailor made for the rubes of earth. Or perhaps the writers didn’t understand physics. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

They spoke for 10 minutes and he’s calling it a day? Venusians are surprisingly lazy. #Monsterdon

@srol 50 hydrogen bombs in one place might do that even without altering the orbit 😬

#monsterdon

the thing the venusians are worried about is that earth will start scooting its orbit around a little bit. that's the main conflict in the movie. and they are setting up the rest of the movie to just be them saying 'hey don't do that' when the leaders arrive. who greenlit this #monsterdon

yes, i have no further questions for the alien i just met. i have things to do today

#monsterdon

@amyfou They *are* carbon neutral #monsterdon

@moira Came in late, but I see it too. Also, I'm a little surprised by the farmhouse meeting site. It's like the farmhouse in *Christmas in Connecticut*! #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Whoever wrote this had a child's understanding of law and politics.

Sure, we'll just outlaw nuclear war! Surely enforcing that law won't cause more damage than the war itself! #Monsterdon

"We talked for 4 minutes! I am all talked out!" - Venusian on a mission

#monsterdon

"you can keep your nuclear power just BE CAREFUL OKAY" lol ok lib #monsterdon

@strangefour Fair tho
#monsterdon

Man from Venus played a campy vampire last week. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

Genuine question, wouldn't altering the orbit of Earth even a small amount result in the death of every living thing on it? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Where's Albert Einstein?

@apLundell They got sick of their pulse being taken every time #monsterdon

@wohali YES a giant shower of ping pong balls on EVERYBODY

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Atomic explosions will force the Earth out of its orbit, disrupting the solar system.

Witness the moon in 1999.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

"Your science is good, but you have tiny tiny stunted emotional minds."
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon The asteroid belt was a planet with nuclear bomb capable civilization!! This is a fun plot point!

🚨 HE SAID STAR WARS 🚨

It may have been "start wars"

#Monsterdon

I wonder what's happened to the pub's regular customers.

Is there a sign on the door "Sorry closed because of man from Venus"?

#monsterdon

"...in short, your weebles will wobble, and the whole solar system will fall down!"

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

And by elder brother we mean you also get noogies. #monsterdon

It explodes downwards and upwards. No promises about the horizontal axis tho #monsterdon #thestrangerfromvenus

Ha - the Venusians DO believe that man is the real monster!

#monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

This movie is 74 minutes, and I can't help but suspect that it would be more effective as a 44 minute twilight zone episode

#Monsterdon
#TheStrangerFromVenus

They're guys. Of course we all know what they're probably thinking #monsterdon

The Brits don't even mother to get a representative from any other nation. I bet they don't even have an Irishman in the pub.
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

All these government officials have hopped on the No Name Bandwagon

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

The Venusian was expecting at least a zoom call with the world leaders, come on guys! #monsterdon

captain kangaroo?!

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Was that a Star Wars reference? #Monsterdon

We hereby convene the bowler of the month club. #monsterdon

The mustache is a scientific achievement. #Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@ricci Just right in the middle of an old pub. #monsterdon

we really couldn't rent a conference room somewhere to film this scene? really?

#monsterdon

this film was retitled "danger primates from the third planet" on venus

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

Let me explain...

#monsterdon

...Is it just me or is the Stranger's eyebrow off-center? Like someone shaved it a little too far in. #Monsterdon

Maybe this would be fun to watch at 2x speed #monsterdon

This is the English version of a SCIF?

#monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

yeah, ya bunch of delinquents! #monsterdon

I explained to my 12yo that I’m watching a knockoff of The Day The Earth Stood Still. But that one’s a classic, with a cool spaceship and a robot. In this one a guy says he’s from Venus and then nothing happens.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

May I present a bunch of government officials to you— this isn't exactly a formal conference room, but you must understand— we couldn't possibly build another set

#Monsterdon

"I'm only here to prepare for the arrival of our higher-ranking officers. A spoiler, if you will." #Monsterdon

@Taweret It's a bottle episode!
#monsterdon

i guess you're all wondering why i've called you here this evening. #monsterdon

we really couldn't afford to film in a second location could we?

we're really gonna pretend it makes sense for the entire ministry of war to do this giant epic alien meeting in a dingy little pub, huh?

#monsterdon

@brooke Her personality is a zero, not a negative number #monsterdon

Only when Officials arrive must questions begin, the little people just carry on about their day like nothing is going on.

Very British

#monsterdon

venusians single stripe pants tucked into those boots and the low buttoned shirt and chunky crew collar is a sick look though

#monsterdon

A low speed car... following. zzzz
#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

#monsterdon Blleeeeeeeeeeh

where's basil? you can't have this meeting without basil fawlty!

#Monsterdon
#StrangerFromVenus

@moira could've been an email #monsterdon

"This is a very important moment for your inn."

"I don't know, I've been in the rest of the movie up till now and from what I've seen, I'd say the chances are low." #Monsterdon

"He's able to read our thoughts."
"I can't see the harm in that."

Wow, that's a bit too accepting.

#Monsterdon #StrangerFromVenus

@CactuarJoe when she punches every man in the cast out cold and takes over the inn with the Venusian guy running the bar, i will be satisfied. #monsterdon

They're adults, they are hooked-up and can sleep together, but no, separate rooms

#monsterdon

@Taweret Them and the clocks #monsterdon
