The mystery of the missing sheep! Quite the subplot.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

all 50s men know is discriminate women, choke aliens and smoke they cigarette
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Boogy doins!

These two guys accents are all over the place, especially Gordie's.

#Monsterdon

Whoa, intrepid trained reporter just picked up a narrative monologue.

#Monsterdon

We have returned to the opening monologue! Smoking will surely help you come up with the solution.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@YsengrinWolf I don't think Lawn Darts have been invented yet. Maybe they invent it to reap the fortune! #monsterdon

No true Scotsman ever knocks #monsterdon

[convinced enid's having a lovely tea with devil woman from mars and laughing at all of these idiots]

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

This "bu-da-da-dum" on the timpani is just like the final battle in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
#monsterdon

so uh... is something going to happen?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Monkey business of a native nature is just fine, though.

@cd0 A bunch of us are watching without ads so we're 46 minutes in

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

How can we pay this actress even less? I know, only write her in a small portion of the movie.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

This is getting like the start of Melancholia. #MONSTERDON

Oh no! The alien has absconded with Enid!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon If only I were not so helpless before the voiceless threat of the unknown.. dude, I feel you.

@amyfou It's a nice name because it's DINE spelled backwards #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

"If only I were not so helpless in front of the voiceless threat of the unknown!"

Me too, dude. me too.

Smoking a cigarette!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Wow, Captain Exposition is getting a workout in this one.

#monsterdon Enid!
ENID?
Same dude, narrating, a bit louder: Enid was gone.

I'm not sure when movies stopped doing this but I think it was a mistake to stop.

EEeeeeeeniiiiiiiiiID!

The movie played on. Would I be able to keep cracking wise? Perhaps my inner monologue is humorous.

#Monsterdon

The sphere out on the moor is a very romantic destination

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon It's the fuzz!

bro not moments ago you were saying that you knew for certain the alien was fine because it was an intelligent creature and you were going to do some geometry together. you can't play the 'fundamentally unpredictable alien lifeform' card anymore #monsterdon

I will never forgive myself.

That's OK old timer, you won't be around much longer.

#monsterdon

If only Swamp Thing were here to help out #monsterdon

With any luck the alien is thinking "how do I get out of this movie"

which I can guarantee is not how the rest of them thing

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

Wait is the daughter/hottie called Enid?

#Monsterdon

"I should never have exposed her…"

Yuuuup.

We were having a completely pleasant conversation in the dungeon and he just started moaning and then got floppy. Probably scrofula. #Monsterdon

Fez police! We're saved! #Monsterdon

Hey, narrator is back. Where's he been?

#monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf Well, they are adjacent chapters in all the classic math textbooks

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon People are figuring stuff out on very few clues in this movie. That gives them time to stand around and walk in buildings.

"Ahh, my old friend 'Rocky Outcrop'"

See how the Colonialist depersonalises the new person and blames everything on them, same old Terran tricks...

#Monsterdon

O Rocketship, O Rocketship...

#monsterdon

@muhkayoh

Yeah but it spelt the death knell for the swooning couch industry :(

#Monsterdon

this rock again

it means something

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The alien's secret is all mine! All mine! No one--
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

"Yes I know he was trying to communicate with him geometrically, but how else?"

@msh To be fair he asphyxiated himself first

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Beardy guy has many questions.

#Monsterdon

sir there's a shadow on your face. please step over a little

#Monsterdon

Literally first time we see this dude and he's like "This is how I can control the world." It's pretty much his first line.

#Monsterdon

That POS!!! #monsterdon Talk to a totally new being for 5 minutes and WHAM!

And here's proof, Dr. Mears is a dick.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Well, the newspaperman made the jump from geometry to abuse pretty quickly there.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Imagine a 2025 film where someone has a slight fever and a lead actor hands them a bottle and tells them to stay in bed

#monsterdon

my dogs go get backup what the fuck #monsterdon

Of course Dr. Rapey McCreeperson has a gun. #Monsterdon

"let's go reconnoiter"

#monsterdon

How does the telescope see through all the fog? #Monsterdon

"...we'll go and reconnoiter"
"Oh my!"

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Can you blame the alien taking a hostage after what happened?

Fuck that Mears!

#Monsterdon

@aspeed

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonMemes #ManFromPlanetX

More music for the OST. Love theme to murder scene theme. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon If you're having regrets after getting the colorized (colourised I guess since it's set in the UK) and you use VLC it's Option-E on Mac, I _think_ ctrl-E on windows, and if you're using linux I think you sacrifice a small ruminent or something while singing the free software song, to get to the place where you can turn off the saturation.

Enid left because there weren't any other female-identifying individuals in Britain #monsterdon

oh did she wake the X man up with that scream
#monsterdon

"Enid was gone. But we never really knew each other anyway."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

It's 1950, what's the stuff that will have you up and around? Penicillin? Or dexies? #monsterdon

OK. so neither the doctor nor the scientist heard her scream?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Jarring re-introduction of narration for no apparent reason. QUALITY CINEMA

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

Oh good. A voice over. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

In that period, the stuff from the chemist's probably includes a Benzedrine inhaler….

#monsterdon
#TheManFromPlanetX

What kind of medicine did they have for the flu back then? Alcohol and the same sedative they gave his daughter?
#monsterdon

Yooo!!! Why you kill the alien!? #monsterdon Damn! We can't ever have company!

Enid (we never really knew each other anyway)

#monsterdon

@vigour_mortis Hate this dumbass #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I have to give credit for not just having the alien speak English.

Fix your roof! #Monsterdon

"That creature downstairs--"

"Don't worry, I'll take a look at him."

Lady, you HAD TO BE UNCONSCIOUS last time. Color me skeptical.

#Monsterdon

this movie really mixed things up and is taking "tell, don't show" to heart #Monsterdon

Did the movie just describe what Elon Musk likes to think of himself as? #Monsterdon

and now suddenly... voiceover again?

#monsterdon

I swear, if the rocket prop is just going to sit unmentioned next to the telescope prop for the rest of the movie...

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Old dude doesn't have the flu, does he?

#monsterdon

God I hate Earth men. #Monsterdon

it’s a relief to know if you’re thirsty you can just drink space #Monsterdon

I wonder if that car ever saw a real road in its life, instead of a studio lot.

#monsterdon

"Resting." #Monsterdon

Alien: [transits across the universe in an advanced spacecraft]

Human: "Fire. 🔥 This is fiiiiiire."

#Monsterdon

@Taweret that will help relations immensely but if you REALLY want to impress a spaceman cook him a Smol Pizza using an incandescent lightbulb #Monsterdon

Imagine living in a place where you could leave your car for 2 days and not worry about it.

This is the fantasy part of Sci-Fi. :)

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

you could tell that the scientist is gonna be the baddie because his beard is (a) existent and (b) terrible

Ooooomoooooowoooooomoooo! (traumatically)
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Aliens always horny for Earth woman. #Monsterdon

Bit damp in that “Stone”
#monsterdon

Oh my! Dr Mears is now the main plot. #monsterdon

I can't wait to see Mears die #monsterdon

shit! my plan depended on nobody wanting to see me #monsterdon

pizzicato strings can only mean one thing: wacky hijinx?

Oh no, not this time!

#monsterdon

You left the clearly evil selfish profiteer in the room with the alien.

#Monsterdon

Oh, I think you made your intentions clear. #Monsterdon

An advanced alien civilization that hasn't quite mastered the complexities of "Don't put your air valve there using such a shitty valve" #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

quick Mears, put the suit on and impersonate the alien to keep the gig going!
#monsterdon

@Violinknitter He already got the transparent aluminum formula from the alien? #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

It's coca-cola with real cocaine! #Monsterdon
