conspiracy theory: Mears is fucking the Man from Planet X, that's why he just "dropped in" #monsterdon

This is not an appropriate way for a planet to behave.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Yes, but what about the planet?"

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I approve all the use of cozy shawls in this movie, by all genders

#Monsterdon

@klu9 ahh, a classic That Guy. Thanks!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Beware the moors.

#Monsterdon

Dueling thin mustaches! #Monsterdon

I wonder if the fog will get a character credit in this movie.

#monsterdon

Will we see any horses get their heads swatted clean off tonight?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

Man, he chugged that tea! #Monsterdon

I say I say that's a cricket joke, son.

#monsterdon

This movie is barely over an hour long. We are ten minutes in. How long before we get to see our little Manlet from Plan X?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"It's triple in size!"

Yeah, all bowled out for 3.

#monsterdon

I'll be up as soon as I throw away this cup of tea you took one sip from #monsterdon

@cherizilla oooh I almost missed the plaid

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

As a trained reporter, I am now arriving on a real location that is real docks and is not a set, nope, not a set.

#Monsterdon

"I like your legs."
"What?"
"That's the newspaper man in me!"

I'm going to try this on a bus.

#Monsterdon

welcome to scotland where people wear plaid from head to toe and we regularly hang out in these haunted ass towers that dot the moors #monsterdon

"Have to take my word for the view". That really does a lot of heavy lifting, movie. #Monsterdon

oh i trust that you are

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

Hmm. We've got ✅ Plaid but not a Scottish accent yet to be found. #MONSTERDON

Did I miss an explanation of why this movie is set in north England but everyone has an American accent?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon These fellas are obnoxious pipe smokers.

trouble in SCOTLAND?

is this in the Highlander universe?

#monsterdon

Just started. FF to weird castle. Now there's voiceover. Frame story...

#Monsterdon

This movie appears to have the budget of a stage play.

#Monsterdon

Coffee adjacent - we have hot tea!

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon Patty Duke’s Dad!

Nice cameo from the Hound of the Baskervilles there #Monsterdon

Tea is served.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Yeah, you look totally over it, whatever it was. #Monsterdon

holy shit, DR MEARS

There's some longing in that stare #monsterdon

I'm going to be honest, one of the biggest reasons I love these old movies is the cars. I just want to go back in time and grab one then bring it to our time.

Though now that I think about it, maybe if I could go back there I'd just stay there.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"Your mustache and my mustache must do battle, my friend."

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

The trees all look so weird and scraggly. I’m assuming that’s an authentic local touch. #Monsterdon

These are like high-school drama quality backdrops.

And the "windshield" of the open-top car is amazing. There's no wind blowing them at all.
#monsterdon

Those shitty chin pubes do not suit you, sir.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

the scenes really do look like they used a very nice painted backdrop from a high school play or smthg

that was like watching creepy conversation one-upsmanship #monsterdon

Open car doors is for lesser men. Real men leap over the door, at least when there's an open top ...

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

BROCK?

IS THIS TOWER FULL OF POKEMON?!

#monsterdon

The best of Hannah Barbera was employed to paint the mattes and backdrops.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

[giant looming tower]

It also makes a neat place to hold D&D.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

That's some very NOT convincing outdoors shot
#monsterdon
#themanfromplanetx

Ok, I know I've seen that doorway set before. #Monsterdon

AAhhhhhh the flirting is hurting AaAAHHHHh

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"I will go this far. And no further." #Monsterdon

did she just casually reveal that she has spent her entire life conspiring to be his wife or was that a joke i can't tell when people in the 1950s are trying to be funny #monsterdon

No wonder they don't see the man from Planet X coming the fog is TERRIBLE #Monsterdon

Put away the dishes? You just put them down! #Monsterdon

"Must be the newspaper man in me" doesn't recognize his old friend? #monsterdon

"I see you haven't changed!"

"No, I'm the same leering creep I always was!"

#Monsterdon

You literally just introduced yourself and I don't remember you, lady

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon

No one has told anyone to stay off the moors.

I call foul. Or fowl. Grouse, probably

#ManFromPlanetX

I dunno, looks pretty wuthery to me. #Monsterdon

someone needs to splice the in-car scenes with chitty chitty bang bang

#monsterdon

Oh it must be a remote island, it's got fog AND moors!

#monsterdon

Now the mirror is back #monsterdon

I'm pretty sure that town is a painting. #Monsterdon

Do we miss these mustaches?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX Yeah, I'm not sure it was the "newspaper" man in you. (/eyeroll)

Jumping out of the car like that. Smoooooth.

#Monsterdon

are they flying

#Monsterdon

wow this is grim, she was in school as he was doing business deals by sounds of it
#Monsterdon

the moors? just like in wuthering heights!!

#monsterdon

Out on the wiley, windy moor...

#monsterdon

I thought, 'No, that can’t be supposed to be the town, that must be a diegetically a painting they’ve got hanging around.'.

#monsterdon
#TheManFromPlanetX

Amazing how they had flying cars in 1956.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

ALL GAWKY LEGS AND BUTT CHEEKS?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

The last time I saw you you were cringe af

#monsterdon

Oh great a long scene of driving. Are we going to see them parking too?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@YsengrinWolf Cloudy with a chance of Planet X. ;)

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

And Leon is getting LAAAARGER.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

He lady, your car is missing mirrors #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👽 👨 🪐 ❌ 🚀 😱

Macbeth joke detected!

"fog's getting thicker"

and this movie's GETTING CHEAPER

#monsterdon

Oh, Shakespeare reference before the 5 minute mark? It's probably not a record, but it does seem early...

#Monsterdon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury,_Greater_Manchester

#Monsterdon

you can literally see the stage painting sag in the upper right. holy shit.

(People calling it a matte painting: it's not. It's a backdrop. Painted cloth.)

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

STAY OFF THA MOOOREEEES!

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

Ahh, a trained reporter. The good kind. From the Reporter League.

#Monsterdon

What an unconvincing seaside set!

#Monsterdon

That’s a crazy paint job on that car. It was pink and now it’s greyish green.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Convenient of the boat to pull up in front of a painting of a city.

What's a good place for haggis? #MONSTERDON

alien species whose only ships are planets they rigged up to drive around and wonder why they are greeted as invaders when their approach causes a shitload of tidal waves and fucks up all the parts of a planet that assume that another planet isn't driving right up next to it all the time #monsterdon

Is this movie aware that the globe spins and it takes a while for meteors to pass the earth?

Let’s leave alone the “what’s a planet?” debate #Monsterdon

Yes, that's clearly not a soundstage with a painted backdrop.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Did these guys have a bad break up or something? I'm getting some strange vibes. #Monsterdon

after that we’re all basically scientists now #Monsterdon

lol, open topped car in the North, ....very bold...

#Monsterdon

Niiiice matte painting. #monsterdon

THIS HEAH IS BURRY, filmed with a lens covered in vaseline. #monsterdon

Ope, almost missed monsterdon

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Need a ride? I can take you as far as the painted backdrop. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Just gonna leave that nasty towel behind huh? Like a man.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX I think that guy had his emote-or removed.

The most unconvincing matte painting ever #monsterdon
