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

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

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

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

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

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

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

and now suddenly... voiceover again?

#monsterdon

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

Some 50’s med that will knock out the flu. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

Scientist! Don't beat up Mr. Alien X!

This Mears guy has to die #monsterdon

And now, I shall torture your secrets from you ... for PROFIT!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

The alien is from Easter Island?

#monsterdon
#ManFromPlanetX

@Taweret ooh the kind with the white frosting?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon First contact did not go well. Woman creature kept on touching her face and... offering me coffee…

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX wow sus dude is .... torturing the alien?

not cool man

#monsterdon First contact goes bad.

What the heck kind of secret does he think he’s gonna get by beating up the X dude???

#Monsterdon

Sooooooooo... we're doing another "The monster is sympathetic, humanity is the real monster" this week, huh?

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Exactly what do you want this alien to write for you? What do you want it to read? #monsterdon

lol - they literally drugged the woman because she can't remain conscious in the presence of "that horrible face."

#Monsterdon

Scotland is secretly Ravenloft. #Monsterdon

The Man from Planet X and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day

#monsterdon

The alien, who "is just as intelligent as us" and who "knows we are trying to come up with a mutual language" sure is just standing there doing nothing. The alien is just furniture.

#monsterdon

Turns out the real monster is man.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

ok, i really want to hurt this guy

#monsterdon

Can’t see a plaid skirt without thinking of Audrey Horne. Thanks David Lynch. Srsly thank you #Monsterdon

dang this one random guy is single-handedly re-balancing the total speaking accent level for the rest of the cast
#monsterdon

Alien got a Flava Flav clock.

#Monsterdon

Oh, I was wrong - it's Americans that don't use car doors.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

could one really pump up the tires on that car with a bicycle pump?

'I offer them my right hand, and….'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Wh66FXZJQ&t=69s

#monsterdon
#TheManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon The alien just said x squared plus y squared = z squared! Now we're getting somewhere!

Fire - the third universal language

#monsterdon
#ManFromPlanetX

Wait, a standard floor pump on a car tire? Where was the time wipe while this takes an hour to fill the tire bit?

#Monsterdon

I have trouble believing that our American Hero understand anything this Scotsman is saying.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

there's a bunch of guys from america around here for some reason

#Monsterdon

Don't mention the cocaine. Don't mention the cocaine.

#monsterdon

Nothing alien can be human to me. #monsterdon

" ' Chemist' in England ", she says.

So why is everyone here saying Scotland? The terrible fake accents?

#MOnsterdon

holy shit, is that a Scottish accent?! #monsterdon

Hey! A Scottish accent! #monsterdon

Your hands? Dude - does your planet know anything about consent? #Monsterdon

"I don't like leaving you here, you being a woman and all. Maybe we should sedate you again." #monsterdon

"An american has been reported to me, you know the Laws..."

#Monsterdon

Gaslighting and sedating the only woman in the movie
#monsterdon

Deciphers what the aliens is trying to say:

"We've been trying to get in touch with you about your extended warranty"

#monsterdon

Alien fart.

#Monsterdon

He doesn't speak English let's try Geometry EVERYBODY speaks Geometry right? #Monsterdon

Because obviously math *notation* MUST be universal! 🙄

#monsterdon

It appears Enid has only two outfits #monsterdon

I say drugstore, you say chemist ...

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

go to sleep everyone i'll just go ahead and derive a universal language from geometry and i'll fill you in tomorrow #monsterdon

woooooooob owooooooooob
#monsterdon

"Oh dear, this is a planet where the meat flaps and does the communiating. Oh dear."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

I'll try communicating with this creature in geometry: 🔳 ⭕ 📐 !

Old man will be ok, because he is wearing the Shawl of Coziness

#Monsterdon

How do you say, in geometrical terms, “What’s your name who does your hair?”
#Monsterdon

Don't worry about leaving me alone. I'll be fine. Trust me.

subtext: I hope this alien is dtf.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

We drugged her to get her out of the script #Monsterdon

Just sedate a major character off screen. #Monsterdon (In actuality, Enid actor had gig at Pasadena Playhouse that week and could not be on set. Now you know—behind the scenes. 🌈)

"with your superior alien geometry knowledge, I'll have the world in my pocket" #monsterdon
