@diazona FRAUD there's not a trace of finger in these

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon I wish more people would walk to the spacecraft so we could watch them.

@Lazarou #monsterdon

their local equivalent of ICE

Oh hey, we finally found someone with a Scots accent! In Scotland, no less! #Monsterdon

"guys, I'm American, I can't understand a word you're saying..."

#monsterdon

The smooth pull of a fine American cigarette will surely help me think of how to save Enid, a woman we haven't even really looked for. #monsterdon

I do kind of like the occasional telescope views of planet X we get in this movie. It looks like an interesting place... sort of Mars like with visible clouds above it.

#monsterdon

@allanb
"I'm a professor!"
"Yeah. You're a man aren't you?"
#monsterdon

Going to skip forward a bit to try to find the median timestamp of other people in the monsterdonaverse. #TubiAds #monsterdon

@strangefour The Dover Boys, right? Lovely reference. #monsterdon

"what were you doing to him back in the dungeon?"

#monsterdon

How do they light the candles in that chandelier? #monsterdon

"Maybe if we ask the crew to turn off the fog machines."

#monsterdon

All professors carry guns, it's natural

#monsterdon

@Lazarou always #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"This is a universal gesture"?
sez who?
#monsterdon

NARRATOR, PLEASE

#monsterdon

DUN DUN DUN *DUN DUNNNNN* it's so serious the dramatic music sting got an extra bar :D #Monsterdon

MONSTER WRESTLING MATCH

Ah what the hell, man, what are you hoping to gain by attacking the alien? Even if your plan all along was to overpower him and monetize the methods of his mechanisms, aren't you doing that several weeks or months too early?

#monsterdon

@cs "plot" you say

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

On our planet, we call this "Tango."
#monsterdon

"I tried murder and that didn't work either!"

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

I'm not a scientist, but I think there's more difference between water and space than just density.
#monsterdon

Just for the record Humanity attacked first

#Monsterdon

I'm gonna take the alien to Starbucks and get him a slice of lemon cake

#Monsterdon

Fantastic Gnome

#monsterdon

Rich dudes always hating on aliens.

#Monsterdon

OMFG a SCOTTISH PERSON! It took a Scottish person longer to get to Scotland than a SPACEMAN from PLANET FRIGGIN X! #Monsterdon

Is this the first person to appear with some semblance of a Scottish accent?

#monsterdon

The alien isn't that bad. I've seen way worse. At least they're trying. #monsterdon

I mean he left his spacecraft and followed you idiots so I don't think he's all that intelligent. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

No composites, but they have "transparent aluminum". Gotcha.

@yatsu Absolutely, *HE* wants to be the one to crush Miers's skull in with a brick :D #Monsterdon

Clearly the alien speaks sine wave.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Stop calling them a creature you human chauvinist

#Monsterdon

how many universal languages have they tried already

#monsterdon

This #monsterdon plays a scary dramatic leifmotif whenever the alien appears, even though the alien hasn't really done anything yet.

Did you have to drug the lady?

WTF is going on here tonight?

#Monsterdon

The earth men try to surrender by raising their arms but then the alien falls down, they deduce because the air hose on his space suit is not aligned and so he ran out of air. Helpfully, they reattach his air hose and he stands back up.

We have a brief discussion about how to communicate with the alien, which is a realistic touch for a movie where you meet aliens, and then they just decide to back up and run away.

#monsterdon

"...we found him on the moors. Father, can we keep him?"

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

This movie really is absurd and damned if I don’t love it.

#Monsterdon

"When the lads bring someone home from the pub"

#Monsterdon

Reminder that here *on earth* there are a bunch of mutually unintelligible sign languages

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Lead the alien mime back to the pub and we'll get them drunk"

#Monsterdon

The houseguest secretly following them is far creepier than the being in the ship.
#monsterdon

Saved by the knob! A peace treaty negotiated with one simple twist.

#monsterdon

Very poorly designed spacesuits

#Monsterdon

it's not a universal gesture, it's a threat gesture in red panda

#Monsterdon

no you old fuck there are more differences between water and space than density everyone needs to stop listening to this guy #monsterdon

Space ship or Christmas tree topper? #monsterdon

"The natives keep their distance."

Nice to hear someone use "natives" about white people for once.

#Monsterdon

Okay, those are legit binoculars but... 6x30s? 8x30s?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

yes, the ONLY difference between water and space, yes...

#Monsterdon

Sixty-hour layover in Bury, Scotland for the alien :/ #Monsterdon

The car has gotten pinker... is it because it's a woman's car that it's colorized pink?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"The planet will be at its closest in 60 hours."

Okay.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

It wasn't the professor's theory, it was his daughters

#Monsterdon

@springdiesel They could only afford one frog to ribbit. #monsterdon

Concrete menace.

No, the menace is that new metal.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Gave the poor ol' guy a dose of the Domme Ray #Monsterdon

Father stop
Father turn left
Father in double time

#monsterdon

@sean they had trouble adapting their power systems to 60Hz AC so they could blend in and use the electricity from the humans and that was what caused the crash in the first place #monsterdon

The beam detects people using headphones

#Monsterdon

calling all dogs, come in dogs
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX it's a tinnitus ray!

@ranjit saving this as a meme template

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX #MonsterdonMemes

Are these actors really Americans? Neither one appears to be carrying a handgun #monsterdon

well yeah the rocket's got power issues, the APU didn't even deploy!

#monsterdon

so the assistant is a creeper, isn’t he?

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@ranjit WE CAME FROM PLANET SICKOS

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@jonny With the low poly count and fog everywhere, this movie directly inspired the Nintendo 64. #monsterdon

You can tell this is an American made film that supposed to be in England. Not a single scene in a pub. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

HEY LADY YOURE NO PRIZE YOURSELF
#monsterdon

@Violinknitter Perhaps they came to earth looking for a new moisturizing mask?

#monsterdon

"A ghastly caricature"

how many fingers did he have?

#Monsterdon

IF this were actually a small town in Scotland, someone would have already found out the alien's name and darkest secret
#Monsterdon

Things it didn't look like: A glass ball.

It looked nothing like a glass ball.

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

"The man who controls this formula controls the industry of the world."

The man who says such a thing cannot be trusted, shoot him now.

"I was speaking metaphorically, of course."

Sure you were.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Cinematographer's poorly veiled fetish for giant collars. Let me pet it, touch it, fonnnnndle your... mmmnnnnn collar… <flap flap> unnnnh…

why's she screaming? she's the one peeping into IT'S home...

#monsterdon

Once more we find ourselves watching a film that surely was Oscar nominated for the set design 🤪🤣
#monsterdon

Someone left the damn freezer open.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

"Can't have you getting upset, can we."

And THAT's why I'm pawing you in the darkness right now! #Monsterdon

"no need to inflict myself on him"

my headcanon is, he already has.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

This was the plot of Transformers 4

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"The man who controls this metal controls industry" Great. We're in an Ayn Rand book. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

Back at the castle, the one girl serves the journalist tea and we meet the other scientists assembled for our space-themed watch party. We learn the castle has the observatory in it, and we look through a telescope and see a planet in it getting bigger... this must be the famous approaching "X" planet.

Next, the journalist and the one girl go for a walk in the moors and find an alien space probe lying around, as you do.

#monsterdon

The bomb. It takes an airplne to haul/drop it and he picks it up like a 6" sub. #monsterdon

THE RACE FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE

#monsterdon

Yes. They're SPACE lawn darts!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

It's a lawn dart of sorts, used to injure children. Very interesting.

#Monsterdon

will you two stop flirting and get jump-scared by an alien monster already?
#monsterdon

Obviously the man had to take over counting once it got past four. #monsterdon

Oh, it is Scotland. Hoping the man from planet x is.....#monsterdon

Idiot. He should be monetizing the apocalypse, not patiently waiting for it. #monsterdon

It's tripled in size!

No, that's just called it's getting closer. Some scientist you are.

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

My son made this telescope in shop class. Whatta ya think?

#Monsterdon

is that a bazooka?
#monsterdon

Hey, they've dressed up for a Casablanca cosplay session.

#monsterdon

Any snacks going with your #monsterdon session?

We've got some carrot cake in hand, courtesy of @skatem
