See, now airplanes are metal coffins packed tightly with diseases. #monsterdon

any time you use the word Cyclotron you know you're doing Science! #monsterdon

@Taweret 42 minutes remaining somebody has got to eat it or the old guy is going to come back from the dead it has got to get in a guy #monsterdon

"Special alloys"

Like, a Faraday cage?

#Monsterdon

A lead-lined truck! Awesome, bet that gets 0.1 miles to gallon. #Monsterdon

@neia alpha wolves though... #monsterdon

It's the DANGER truck!

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

Great … Serranium … Way to go Dr. Denker; now Tom Lehrer’s gonna have to completely rewrite that Elements Song …

#TheMagneticMonster

Too much good stuff, I literally can't fave all the good stuff! #Monsterdon

"Using non-magnetic tools, they removed the case"

So. A stick. They used a stick. #Monsterdon

wait, it killed the plane engine but it's gonna be fine in a CAR? #monsterdon

SOUP! #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

“We had no time to consider the reason for his experiment”
The A-Men or the writers?

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

I wonder what happened to those medics who were waiting to treat the injured scientist as soon as the plane landed. #Monsterdon

I don't think he has his faculties anymore

#Monsterdon

so the real "monster" is just magnetism in a briefcase?

it better not be

i was promised a monster

#monsterdon

Ooooohh, it's the invisible hand of the market! No wonder it's so dangerous.

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

So the lump of monopolar, highly radioactive element is sentient? Or is this an allegory? #monsterdon #themagneticmonster

@ryan I want that on a shirt. #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

"It's a monster! A *monster!*"

Oh yeah we're into the classic monster movie lines now :D #Monsterdon

@moira for the love of god is he still talking #monsterdon

om nom nom nom #monsterdon #themagneticmonster

#Monsterdon After landing the plane, we bring some doctors to investigate the old guy with the bleeding gums, who I will call Bleeding Gums Murphy. Then the lady who wanted hay fever airline flights turns out to be radioactive, so we're gonna be responsible and take her to the hospital.

Bleeding Gums Murphy reveals that the radiation ghost is in his briefcase; its something he got somehow but then he made it radioactive and magnetic by shooting it with alpha particles. good work?

"My contribution is finished"

And so is your scene, let's move on, old guy.

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

getting a lotta questions already answered by my “I’m in full possession of my mental faculties” disclaimer #monsterdon

@trixter Not unusual in the days of scientific Don't Ask Don't Tell. #Monsterdon

It's a maniac, maniac unipole...

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

@apLundell Whut?! #ShufflesPapersInFrontOfCamera I have no idea what you mean?! #Monsterdon

#FakeMovieFacts: If you look closely in the background of the airport scene in The Magnetic Monster, you can notice Humphrey Bogart saying goodbye to Ingrid Bergman as she gets on the plane.

#Monsterdon
#TheMagneticMonster

Bombarding things with alpha particles definitely never went wrong

#Monsterdon

The force is HUNGRY! Must be fed!

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

I still have my faculties. I’ve always seemed a little sinister. #Monsterdon

"it's hungry" #monsterdon

the magnet... is hungry...
yeah, he's in completely control of his faculties, checks out.
#monsterdon

“I wanted to work unobserved with my assistant” is an extremely sus thing to say. #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

It's magneto hangry!

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

@RobynGoodfellow BUT NOBODY'S SMOKING! #monsterdon

"Well, as much possession of my mental faculties as I ever had..."

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

Bombarding samples with radiation? That's a reasonable thing to do in an office upstairs from a appliance store. #monsterdon

listen, your "science experiment" isn't the only thing unstable here sir. #monsterdon

@cheribaker He’s old, he doesn’t need them anymore. #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

"Hospital? I'm not sick!"
You will be, honey.
#monsterdon #themagneticmonster

i love the spirit, but pseudocolor algorithm you are just dead wrong on the color of the plane being iridescent beetle-shell pink and green #monsterdon

You see, I didn't touch the radioactive briefcase with my hands, so we're all perfectly fine. No one's continually being exposed to extremely dangerous radiation levels just by being on the plane. Everyone shut up

#Monsterdon

Ladies and gentlemen I'm afraid you're all going to die horribly in 24 hours. Thanks for flying Pan AM! #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

@Taweret I am gonna be *so mad* if this is a metaphorical monster. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon is that cane now radioactive?

@moira I've been known to give a heavy baggage item a hip check on occasion #monsterdon

OH yeah, you're dead. NEXT!

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

Trivial Particle Flow

🚨 Alert! All A-Men ⚠️ Alert! 🚨

At 39:48, Dr. Stewart walks through empty areas talking about the deserted building but just then someone pops up at far end of the room.

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

I really thought sunglasses man across the aisle had died of radiation.

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

What's up with the guy in the sunglasses? Is he a G-man, an A-man, or some other alphabet gender? #Monsterdon

I hope the rest of the passengers got a free drink from the airline #monsterdon

#Monsterdon For some reason we are now chasing the radiation ghost into an airplane, because it might crash the airplane through its poltergeist powers. We get to see the inside of an airplane before they have overhead luggage compartments I guess.

A lady suggests to an older gentleman that we have "hay fever flights". I forgot the context for that but it sounds like a bad idea. Then the old man gets sick and the airplane engines start crashing, because poltergeist.

"What is the deal with airplane radiation sickness ..."

#Monsterdon
#TheMagneticMonster

@apLundell it is probably infected with magnets now
#Monsterdon

the briefcase is too magnetic to touch but you can easily drag is across the metal floor

#monsterdon

This scene is right out of airplane. #monsterdon

Oh shit i think our engines are quitting. #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Look, moving someone's luggage with your hands or tongue, that just makes sense. But who moves luggage with their gonads? C'mon.

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

They didn't give the blind guy his cane back!
#monsterdon

These 1950's radios are the clearest communication devices in history

#Monsterdon

Don’t be alarmed. I always use a cane to move a briefcase. #Monsterdon

Is the monster in the briefcase?
#Monsterdon

sup with glasses guy #monsterdon

Man, I watched Chernobyl a couple months ago and the scene where the guy picks up an *intensely* radioactive piece of graphite and his hand starts frickin' melting really stuck with me.

So yeah, don't touch the briefcase with your bare hands D: #Monsterdon

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing magnets #Monsterdon

the cane guy has no next move, didn't even react, he knows what he's doing. #monsterdon

Don't be alarm, we have no engines and I'm dragging this suitcase with a cane, all good, don't be alarmed...
#Monsterdon

lt tragg there in the front seat really regretting his eye surgery today. #monsterdon

@moira Never mind that, keep it away from your pelvis #monsterdon

you can't touch the briefcase with your barehands because of the magnetism

#monsterdon

"...pilot, we have a severe case of gingivitus on board"

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

#monsterdon looks like someone had the fish #monsterdon #magneticmonster #airplane #zerohour

@arrjay Was that a Star Trek or a writing shot? ...yes #Monsterdon

These pilots picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

I expect this old dude to pull out a ritual tanto any second, listening to this lady's rambling about her allergies. #monsterdon #themagneticmonster

Geiger counters are the real heroes of this film #monsterdon

Checkov's Engine #monsterdon

"...what does he mean engines might quit?"
"well hell Steve, did you have to say it out loud?"

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

the engines: You called? (^_^)
#monsterdon

The A-Men made me think of Ghostbusters, and this old guy makes me think of the old man in Repo Man.
#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

"ohhh, the *engines* might quit..." #monsterdon

@moira I mean, it didn’t seem like something they would have made up for this movie, but wow. #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

i don't want to alarm you but there may be magnetism on board your plane

#monsterdon

@trixter Real thing. I've seen these before somewhere, like, old movies that weren't weird SF movies.

#monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

why do all the pseudocolor algorithms make things this sort of iridescent purple-green, like what in the source data could make that happen #monsterdon

"i wrote to the company..."
did you now. (-_-)
#monsterdon

I'm sick of you! Burn!!

Hat guy really held that phallic looking detector on the woman an uncomfortably long time. #Monsterdon

IS THAT AN AIRLINE TRIP INSURANCE VENDING MACHINE #Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

WOW double-digit flight numbers #monsterdon

I'm sorry but relying on the fact that anyone buys travel insurance is a huge plot hole #monsterdon

You know, occasionally I pine for a simpler time in computers...but I don't mean punchcards. I just don't want ads or trackers. #monsterdon

Airline Trip Insurance Vending Machine. Awesome!

#Monsterdon #TheMagneticMonster

@floatybirb I guess we don't know for sure but I didn't see it that way

#Monsterdon

"Damn you're hot," he says, holding agitated Geiger Counter near attractive counter-woman. #monsterdon #themagneticmonster

Obviously we are looking for a wizard #monsterdon

@asbestos That's hot #monsterdon
