Lightning IS static electricity...

Aw, I had "30 minutes with no alien" on the bingo card

If you're going to make me suffer through that much pointless dialogue, movie, the least you could do is throw in a bingo square for the trouble

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX hey you're just as ugly to him!

when a cars tire pops it releases a protective cloud of fine chaff that disrupts the machinery used to replace tires by both the driver and any would-be bandits #monsterdon

"Well you're no looker yourself!"

#Monsterdon

@aud not unlike malfunctioning computers and showers of sparks! #monsterdon

#monsterdon I can't deny that it could be sour cream. I have no idea. I'm a scientist, we have to wait for a peer reviewed study and a nice older man, older than me, to nod and confirm, it's science.

Oh look, it's an inverted ice cream cone!

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Her car broke down. I'm sure this will end well for her. #monsterdon

Love how the car stirs up all the dry ice fog on the set.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I want that car though

#Monsterdon

I guess we're going to get a lot of stuff that is tedious for us because audiences were not familiar with: Rocketry, space ships, other planets, astronomy, science fiction or tacky science fiction.
#monsterdon

“You’ll swear a woman can drive!” - suggested tag line for that scene.

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero Are there different ones? #monsterdon

"You look so much more handsome in the dark and dense fog." #monsterdon

i keep getting these moustache guys mixed up

#monsterdon

Grooooannnn!

"What on Earth is that?" Well, it's on Earth at least
"That is the $64 dollar question."
What is this, a bunch of aliens who simply aren't American?
It's the 64 THOUSAND dollar question. Sheesh. #gameshow
#Monsterdon

I could inflict myself on you!

#Monsterdon

Wow. This guy can sense the tensile strength of metal by touching it.

He's the alien! Hit him with your bagpipes!

#MONSTERDON

Was this guy brought here just to hit on the scientist's daughter? #Monsterdon

I am loving Enid, the professor’s daughter’s coat collar. Don’t make ‘em that big anymore
#Monsterdon

"...don't breathe! The scale will hear you!"

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

back when stuff falling out of Space was a mystery and not an everyday irritation forced on us by billionaires

#Monsterdon

@mariellequinton haha

well, then, I will! Although I wouldn't mind being stuck under a cat either

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

dude this doc has been so isolated in his tower he doesn't even know about rockets yet 🥴
#monsterdon

The scene where they go on at length about it being an alien rocket? Check. #monsterdon

The first lawn dart was huge! #monsterdon

I do like incredibly light alien materials, makes sense when you know something about Space Travel

#Monsterdon

just carry a potential unexploded bomb, sure

#monsterdon

@LuluHelle yes please

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Besides, what would a bomb be doing up here?"

...Exploding. >_> #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I like it, I love it, I want to lick it.

"That, as we say back in the States, is the 64 thousand dollar question" yes, impress her with the rich culture of our people

#monsterdon

"If I were mechanically minded, I could pet it."

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

this movie is 13 minutes old and already i want every person in it to get zapped by an alien.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Now I want tea
#monsterdon

Have to admit, I saw this scene tonight and thought of this scene from last week.
#monsterdon

"That is what back in the States we call a 64 dollar question"

inflation 😩

#monsterdon

Everyone looks like Inspector Gadget

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

What is it with American accents?
Not complaining, because fake accents are worse...
#monsterdon

Marvelled by facts on lightning, that many under 5s know
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon No no, your interruption didn't get in the way of me finishing. I went outside, covered your shrubs in love and I'm fit as a fiddle.

They don't seem all that excited about discovery of a new planet. Maybe those appear routinely?
#monsterdon

Were big jackets legally required in 1951? #monsterdon

So a rogue planet is hurtling towards earth and our task force are four people in a moor tower? #monsterdon

Oh, that's a cursed DIY newtonian on an EQ mount.

Also, why are you using it indoors? You're going to trash your seeing and have an awful field of view!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Telescope or rocket launcher? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Soft hearted as a sponge. Well, now we have treatments for that. "Ted! Ted! Simons Turned to Jelly!!! <florp florp>”

@ohiofi That is EXACTLY what went through my head too!
#monsterdon

this film could really use a man-eating bear #Monsterdon

sea sponges are well noted for their philanthropic views.
#Monsterdon

That mustache is frankly disturbing #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Hey wait a minute, they didn't even smooth the draping out of that matte, it looks like an elementary school stage production!

"While we're on the subject, you've got a nice rack too...."
#monsterdon

wait who is that guy with the beardlet? shit.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

You haven't changed a bit in 6 years dude you're still an effin' creep #Monsterdon

Note how the woman is rushing around attending to the men's needs....jfc....

#Monsterdon

Finally got back in time (sorta)

#monsterdon

Mmm.. mechanical typewriters...

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Oh it's not just a matte painting. It's a little castle model.
OMG OMG! Is it gonna blow up!?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

meanwhile, back at the train set

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

TBF the reporter does have the air of a man-slut...

#Monsterdon

THE MOOOOOOORS #Monsterdon

"How do I get to Burry?"

_puffs on a pipe_ Practice, kid. _blows soap bubbles_

#monsterdon

"Hey, wait a minute! What's that accent you're doing?" #monsterdon

IT'S "LAY ON MACDUFF" GOD I HATE PEOPLE

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

Nice backdrop!

It's only a model.

#monsterdon

The colourizing is a bit random on our copy. lol

It's coming and going. Especially with the car colours.

#monsterdon

alternate title for these scenes: THE HURRY IN BURRY

#monsterdon

Our fishing village is a soundstage with a painted backdrop. I love it!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

They didn't even try to get the wrinkles out of the five-dollar backdrop.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

This catastrophe is starting to sound like an REM song. Hurricanes, earthquakes and title waves!

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Oh oh, this is the plot of #DontLookUp!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Aha! That's what 3I/ATLAS really is!

#monsterdon
#ManFromPlanetX

THEY STOLE THAT BACKDROP FROM COMMUNITY THEATRE

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Which was followed by "The Man From Planet XXX--Trained Observer!"

#Monsterdon

Wait, did she just drive a car onto a ship?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

That is NOT a painting the background #monsterdon

The glass negative plates are covered with a thin film of pipe smoke #monsterdon

This one island is the place on earth the wandering planet will come closest to.

Uh. Ok.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

"...strange astrological phenomena..."

(inside my brain)
Phenomenon (doo doo, doo-doo-doo)
Phenomenon (doo doo, doo doo)
Phenomenon (doo doo, doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo...)

#monsterdon

I literally thought the TV had turned itself off again holy shit

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

(oof, i think i ended up with an AI colorized version. barf.)

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I'm not sure why every substance we test here seems to contain high amounts of nicotine. #monsterdon

Oh god the narrator is a journalist relaying his recollections. Yay. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX title drop in the first scene? from the first-person narrator? wow

Nice drawing of Mars. Also, nice observatory set.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The opening scene looks weirdly like someone did NOT drop out of cinematography school. Very weird for #Monsterdon.

"It's only a model.

Ssshh!"

#Monsterdon

THE FILM WILL NOT SHOW YOU HIS FACE. OUR STAR IS TOO HIDEOUS TO BEHOLD.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

I like it already! “The man from Planet X” opening credits are a cool font with rivets in it.
#Monsterdon

Rotisserie chicken sandwich is a go!
Reheated coffee is a... probably shouldn't drink that.

Go go go go!
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

My official first #Monsterdon post! All others will fall below this one to keep them off the home timeline. Mute the heck outta me if you want, or mute the hashtag.

Or join us! :D
We're watching The Man From Planet X

https://tubitv.com/movies/579624/the-man-from-planet-x

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX is that dracula's castle?

@bonetti i hope that means this movie is riveting! #monsterdon

What you don't see are the millions of midges....

#Monsterdon

this movie has 100% on rotten tomatoes (albeit from 8 critic reviews). the popcorn meter (website viewer score) is 39% though

#monsterdon

So they shot this #Monsterdon in SIX DAYS how's THAT for phoning it in? :blobtonguewink:

It was a dark and stormy title screen...

#Monsterdon
