Can't a botanist just eat his late night hard boiled egg in peace

#Monsterdon

Fair. I couldn't live in an isolated lighthouse on just one bottle of Scotch per week, either. #monsterdon

@RamenCatholic

Mysterious Meteor Shower ASMR

#monsterdon

She needs to dissect his ass! and not in a good way! #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Nurse should have told him she's naked #monsterdon

which one's the Robert Pattinson and which one's the Willem DeFoe #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
What a bitter drunk.

Whatever is inside his cucumber eye-wrap, I want it

#Monsterdon

lol the captions just said “cannula, you’re a nice girl…” #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Wait. One character smokes in bed and another is against tobacco companies?
Omg are the killer plants going to be some kinda anti weed metaphor?
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

@RobynGoodfellow The!! (tries desperately to hide own toot) #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this entire movie is just an advertisement for cigarettes

...Is that a wall-mounted Vicar Ken on the wall behind him? #Monsterdon

he doesn't know by now that "dissecting a stingray" is a sexy euphemism? #monsterdon

I caunght leave this specimen alone. She wants the D! (Dissection?) #MonsterDon

"Dissecting that Singray" Is that what the kids are calling it these days. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

shouldn't these people be smoking?

#monsterdon

“it’s not a meteor shower it’s the to tobacco companies” is a hell of a take lol #monsterdon

Your CRACK is ALWAYS in the SAME CUPBOARD why do you KEEP ASKING #Monsterdon

Whoa, what's that creepy doll on the table?

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

is that hillary clinton? #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

"Here we go again... I'M BORED WITH STINGRAYS"

Actual quote #Monsterdon

@Taweret On airplanes, on buses, sure #monsterdon

I keep forgetting how big a thing cigarettes were back in the day. Everyone smoked everywhere, all the time, forever.

#Monsterdon

Smoking in a hospital. Ah. What a time to be alive... A horrible time I got asthma.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

Oh a man with his eyes bandaged? I wonder if this is going to have any meaningful effect on the plot.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

you could really smoke anywhere back then, couldn't you? in bed? in your hospital room? why the hell not?

#monsterdon

The actual origin story for Scott Summers (Cyclops).

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

How many times y'think old boy there lit his nose on fire? #Monsterdon

So Cosmic Rays make little baby Audrey IIs.
Wait are those those flowers that bloom only every decade and stink to high heaven?
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

i’m eating wheat thins, are the triffids going to come after me? #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

@YsengrinWolf we're watching #Monsterdon on #RokuChannel and its painfully bad. Loving it! #DayOfTheTriffids

Sparkly flying things with wavy, out of focus names and titles.

#Monsterdon

I guess the plants find the meteors.. um.. "exciting"? #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

they want a tall plant

the kind with teef

people should get eat up

for statin' their beliefs

#monsterdon

@brion i was thinking the same thing. we probably have the same mp4 lol #monsterdon

Eating plants? No thanks, I'm not a vegetarian. #Monsterdon

"The meteorite burn up from the intense heat before hitting the earth" Yes. That's what a meteorite is. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

eating plants, more like smoking plants #monsterdon #nice

METERS! #Monsterdon

Oh neat, worldwide rave. #Monsterdon

Is this going to be on the test? #monsterdon

Ooh a literary adaptation.
Based upon true events.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

Wow, what an opening.

#Monsterdon

Screenplay by Mr. Yordan! Not MY Dan, but yours! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon if you're watching from Archive.org and have the same one I do, and also are using VLC or have crop ability in your video software, cropping to 2.21:1 seems to get rid of most of the letterboxing (still a little black bar on the bottom)

Philip Yordan later became a famous shoemaker! #monsterdon

We used to have high school assemblies in the Seventies where someone did special effects like these to "Major Tom." #monsterdon

Special effects by Wally Veeveers! The only man on staff named for a theremin noise! #Monsterdon

Maurice Askew. sure, checks out. #monsterdon

who's ready for theirs spines to tingle #monsterdon

No Masers in this I think #Monsterdon

That's how you do monster movie IN YOUR FACE orchestral hits by the way. Nothing good's coming from the action this opening score is going on about. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

They’re not messing around with backstory I see

#Monsterdon

Ooo, Howard Keel. I remember him from Seven Brides for Seven Mushrooms. #Monsterdon

So either this movie has a happy ending, or else the narrator was actually a Triffid? PLACE YER BETS! #Monsterdon

starring BLURRY WORDS

and also

MORE BLURRY WORDS

and featuring

SMALLER, EVEN BLURRIER WORDS

#monsterdon #BadTransfer

Oh we are watching a film real for kids about plants.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

#Monsterdon
Ooof - the copy I'm watching has been compressed to hell ... wait, is Keel who I think it is ...

just fired up The Day of the Triffids (1963). faux documentary intro is a strong start #monsterdon

"And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills" #Monsterdon #RockyHorrorNameDrop #DayOfTheTriffids

it's Audrey II! #monsterdon

Wow, the colorization really browned this movie up, huh #Monsterdon

I guess real Venus flytraps would have broke the budget. The wouldn't have made that keen "clomp" sound when they closed anyway. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids
