how BIG is that COLLAR flap on her jacket and can it flip up into a hood #monsterdon

I guess no attempt at an English accent is better than a bad one….

"No, I mean John, the stone."

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

This is the first time Sprockles has opted not to watch #Monsterdon with me! :BlobCat_NotLikeThisCry:

This lady's British accent is unique.

#Monsterdon

Moustache is the creep from planet creepy
#Monsterdon

Ha! The car keeps turning pink in the colourized version.

#monsterdon

Get out of here with your womanly breath.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Wow! How had no one noticed this before? #Monsterdon

Nerds are so easily distracted. #MONSTERDON

you call this scotland and you have yet to produce a single anorak?!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Not used to seeing Schallert play a weasel. Interesting.

#ManFromPlanetX

It's stronger than steel? Quick! Call Hewie Lewis! #Monsterdon

I have been absolutely terrible about hashtags so far lol

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Eerie place, these moors. And wet, too."

#Monsterdon

Yes, shush the woman, there's Science afoot!

What an asshole.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

So Scotland is now in a space race against another planet? Sputnik X is a scientific goldmine.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Awkward beards and mustaches also

Okay, call me a sap, but I do find it fun when scifi characters geek out about material science and engineering, even when it’s hamhanded and silly. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX well if you don't want our help in the lab we're just gonna go outside and go back to making out

@JoeWynne
#Monsterdon #LowBudgetMovie Respect!

"I was speaking metalphorically of course"

HAhahahhah ha ha heh

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Oh no, I'm late for #Monsterdon!!!

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

"Well, my assumption may seem fantastic..."

Yes Dr., yes it does 🎉

@steter I think we should award points if any of the other passengers comment on your choice of movie and/or join in with monsterdon.

#Monsterdon

everyone stop breathing for the next half an hour, okay, we need this to be _precise_

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Wait, this lady is a Brit? With not a British accent to be found. Only on #monsterdon lol

Professor. Dude. You can just say it looks like a fuel tank and a little rocket engine you don't have to talk all fancy #Monsterdon

Okay, it's described as being like titanium, but better.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Funny, she doesn't look like MacDuff.

#Monsterdon

It just occurred to me that some of these people are supposed to be British. So either British people sounded different in the 50's (which could well be,) or all the British characters are played by Americans.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

I can think of something that is NOT fantastic....

#monsterdon

were these lines fed to a dog who then barfed them up on a rug?
#Monsterdon

"From Outer Space?"

"I could not deny the possibility"

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

So what, it's Titanium?

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

“Must be in Chicago.” Wait, this castle is located on the moors of… Illinois?

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

It didn't come from Wales, genius. #Monsterdon

The measurements are singularly precise!

Oh, that precise you say?

#monsterdon

"One fifth the specific gravity of steel!"

So, uh, lithium-magnesium alloy?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

We're deducing this rocket is a rocket from first principles #monsterdon

What is it? It's a bunch of random bits we found out back and want you to make it look like a space ship bit. #Monsterdon

"The measurements are singularly precise"

Yes measurements are like that

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"the measurements are singularly precise"

and you're comparing it to... ?? #monsterdon

#monsterdon What on earth is _THAT_? I don't know, but it has a flared base... #TheManFromPlanetX

let me get her fucking coat i want that whole shit with the collars and cuffs and the belt too #monsterdon

The $64 question

I think the movie's budget is trying to tell us something

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Wait, I know they're supposed to be in Scotland, but he just said "back in the States".

Are these other people supposed to be Scottish?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

it's ALIENS

#Monsterdon

Will we at least get a Christopher Lee cameo now? #monsterdon

nice self-compliment, you're good at measuring, good job, now, how big is the goddamn thing?

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

"Don't worry I'm 70% sure this isn't a bomb."

In 2024, $64 questions were $760.

Now they're........you don't wanna know.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

This movie is a long coat commercial, isn't it?
#Monsterdon

They dropped a sea anchor #monsterdon

And… capitalism enters the room.

#Monsterdon

Mystereous rocket-shaped prop found! Perhaps a giant's lawn dart?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Remember when questions were only $64? Inflation's a BITCH #Monsterdon

Kinda looks like a bomb #MONSTERDON

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX aliens lost their ball in your yard

AMAZING LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS!

#monsterdon

I was assuming there would be, I dunno, anyScottishaccentsatall. More fool me. #monsterdon

That's a silly prop. I'd look to know more about it.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

why would he say to another American 'as we stay back in the states?'

#Monsterdon

"is it a bomb?" poke poke poke #monsterdon

"yes, the nazis, you asshole"

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@mariellequinton aw now *I* want tea

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

You found my cudgel!!!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Professor looks disgusted to be in this scene.

This is so old it was only a $64 dollar question.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Is this "The Trained Reporter" or the "Man from Planet X"?

#Monsterdon

I wasn't expecting the Internet Archive version to be colorized #monsterdon

this is indeed, a very bomb-shaped rocket

#monsterdon

50s lawn darts _ruled_

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"i'll add 3 more of my own, i like it"
puke yuck i am puking right now
#monsterdon

@Violinknitter They are very under appreciated in our current day and age.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon You hear that? That's the lamentations of the wolves, won't even try to eat the actors. So much plastic.

They've entered Silent Hill. #Monsterdon

"I bet right now he doesn't know what day it is. He hasn't been right lately."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

wait they get lightning in the UK?
#monsterdon

"What on earth is that?"

Looks like a closeup of a push mower

#monsterdon

Hmm. For some reason I thought this was going to be a dub. I guess it's an American production?

Well, I've definitely never seen it.

#Monsterdon

"do me on the moors you spiv twat, I'm ready..."

#Monsterdon

is the alien also going to be American?

#Monsterdon

...I'm lost on how we got from a university in California to this random tower in the middle of nowhere (Scotland? Scotland) that has the same telescope

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Lightning without thunder. The Scottish Moors are muting the audio track of the storm.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

you can tell how far it is from the number of seconds, but we're not gonna discuss how to convert time into distance.

#monsterdon

"How's the view from the top of the rise?"

"Foggy, just like everything else on this set!"

#Monsterdon

Sheet lightning is some of my favorite lightning ever. Too bad they didn’t show any

#Monsterdon

oh, she's supposed to be British? 🥴
#monsterdon

What an amazing non-descript planet

The Hound of the Baskervilles makes a cameo!

Mysterious lightning!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Static electricity maybe."
"This time of year?"

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

Does lightning count as "Blink Lights"? #Bingo

#monsterdon
#ManFromPlanetX

"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, but, well, I already loathe you."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

It grows larger nightly.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

That telescope was made from a gattling gun. #Monsterdon

I like the painted black pipe fittings holding up the telescope. Gosh stabilization tech has come a long way

#monsterdon

As a trained reporter, I am definitely driving through the fog right now.....

"The last time I saw you I got your solemn promise when I grew up I could be your girl."

Ah. Ahem.
