That flame under the tea kettle is alarmingly high #monsterdon

mb put the lid on that teapot? idk #monsterdon

The lawn dart has returned! Enslaved locals are planting a shrubbery abound it.

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

More tea

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I can count on 0 hands the number of times a cop handed me a gun, I stuffed it in my pants, and rode off on his bicycle.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this fuckin' soundtrack man…

Could there possibly be any point to that attempted bicycle hijacking scene

🤞

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@ranjit from the community theatre stage #monsterdon

Do-be Do-be Do-ba-dee-doo.

#monsterdon #manfromplanetx

“Emergency. Village terror-stricken”

THAT’S your message to the outside world?!?!?!

It sounds like they stayed up too late watching horror movies. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Maybe they were talking about 'Berry' #monsterdon

@ottaross Is that like the plane or different?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

homing pigeons #monsterdon

Thank God they had time for tea. #Monsterdon

omg if it is an island they are on, we could get some seagulls trying to eat their faces next. HOPEFACE
#Monsterdon

Wow. One dude smashes the receiver and it doesn't work. So the next guy grabs it, hits it a few more times? Like, is there really skill here, where person 1 might have done it wrong?

#monsterdon

i found the boogie!
#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

#monsterdon THank God that this movie's run time is only an hour and 10 minutes.

crouching scottsman, hidden boogey
#monsterdon

Oh wow, check out the hair under that hat!

#Monsterdon

MAN FROM SPACE? WHAT CLAPPER CLAW IS THIS? in a regular ass US accent #monsterdon

We did not get to see any of this. Just some guy gets to narrate this all that happened off screen. #Monsterdon #ClapperClaw

First guy rattles phone, doesn't get an operator

Second guy says "Here, let me try" and does the same thing

DOES THIS SHIT EVER WORK?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

"Got a wireless" "Not for outside contact" "Then what the fuck is it?" "a megaphone" "a big megaphone?" "ah, no, we can't afford such luxuries."

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Some real "I already pressed the elevator button but you do you" energy there. #monsterdon

Was that city the cyclist in supposed to be then-modern-day Belfast and not, you know, Joan of Arc-era France?

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"...have you had this trouble before?"
"Only after we switched to AT&T."

#Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

"but... da boogie" #monsterdon

Boogie doings. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

I was catching up on #Monsterdon posts, so I have no idea why everyone just ran out of the room

working “what clapper-claw is this?” into my conversations until someone says something #monsterdon

#Monsterdon he saw a boogy?

This is so much better with all the Scots. Like, a million times better.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Hanging Around Here Just Waiting was the alternate title of this movie. #Monsterdon

clapper claw = not a phrase any Scot has used ever.
bag o pish - is
#Monsterdon

We never saw anyone in the village get abducted, right?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

who assaulted who early in the morning in a cell, WHO?

#Monsterdon

@lysdexic

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I wish Bogey were in this film #monsterdon

I dare there to be a legit Scots accent in this. I double dare there!
#Monsterdon

I'm gonna need subtitles for these "accents" #monsterdon

I think the linguistics coach was shirking their responsibilities on the Scottish accent.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh a Scotsman named Donald, that's original.

@cd0 I’m resigned to being a few minutes behind. #Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@paco @kcarr2015 TO SERVE MAN

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

@blogdiva

Scotsacks?

#Monsterdon

@kcarr2015 And Enid spelled backward is.... DINE. Oh my god! Enid is gonna be DINNER!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"There'd best be no monkey business of a foreign nature"

… what?

Also: who talks like that?

Why do the cops look like fishermen? #Monsterdon

So these are americans just doing terrible accents, yes? #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai it’s 19th century new york policeman #Monsterdon

Actual (fake) Scottish accents? This late in the movie?
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@RobynGoodfellow Maybe like the #DevilGirlFromMars this alien self-funded his exploratory mission from his garage. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

BOOGEY DOINGS #monsterdon

HWERE was Enid

HWERE was the man from Planet X

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Oh my god, can you people hear my inner monologue? #monsterdon

Is this a scottish or an irish accent?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

It’s Scottish Burt and Ernie from It’s A Wonderful Life.

#Monsterdon

Did he just say "boogie doings"? #monsterdon

Where's Lars Von Triers when you need him.

#monsterdon

"if she was to be saved, I had to think...."

ok she's a goner.

#monsterdon

"Thinking... not my strong suit."

#Monsterdon

If only you could use your big boy words and ask someone for help...

#monsterdon

@oli
It's true, travelers to far off lands should always be wary of evil locals quick to take advantage of someone alone. 🤔😖

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Now I'm going to tear out every secret you've got."

That's how I get my best secrets.

#Monsterdon

@Bluedepth That was alive and well in the 1980s. Back to the Future 2?

"Once they arrive in 2015, Doc incapacitates Jennifer, leaving her asleep in an alley."

Mears’ facial hair is so sketchy I can’t even

#Monsterdon

I bet today's women are glad science developed the fainting vaccine. #monsterdon

They don't have any scientific instrumentation but they do have firearms.

#monsterdon

Is he a fantastical organism? I think he's more of a C- organism at best. #Monsterdon

Asphyxiating a spaceman isn't good for interplanetary relations #Monsterdon

wonder if they cast the girl solely for her ability to let out bloodcurdling screams
#monsterdon

second rule of alien encounters: continue to tell nobody, assume they will turn you into a god, and kidnap them
#monsterdon

I don’t know which is more horrifying… his beard or his lapels.

#Monsterdon

Wow, she totally did the etiquette walk there. #monsterdon

Assault WTF.

What just happened? Did Dr Mears just grapple the guy into unconsciousness? How?

#monsterdon

Yikes! Evil human is evil.

Our alien friend doesn't know every wild animal knows about us.

#Monsterdon

"I was trying the universal language of violence" #monsterdon

It's always the bloody capitalists ruining things, huh 9_9 #Monsterdon

No matter what else is going on, I have to say her eyebrows are on point.

#Monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear

How do you know they're supposed to be in Scotland? The only places I've heard them say are "Britain", "Bury" and "England"

#Monsterdon

"I see your sedative wore off."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so… what's the game plan there, buddy? The alien doesn't speak English. How are you planning to get information out of him?

We're speaking in the language of geometry. Truly a universal language if you want to build a structure or calculate volumes or...

#Monsterdon

the alien is just a little guy #Monsterdon

What a great human being
#monsterdon

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

I did not... wait, is he LITERALLY trying to tear the secrets out of him

Why is Dr. Mears such a goddamn dumbass? #monsterdon

oo, mears must die. don't assault the alien, you jerk!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@moira I honestly wonder if he realizes that other people know about fire

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

what

the actual

fuck

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

That guy absolutely cracking up at how silly the alien looks for a second there

#Monsterdon

Max Headroom in the spaceship!

#Monsterdon

THIS SHALL BE MY SECRET

wub wub wub wub wub #monsterdon

FIRE! FIRE shall be my secret!

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

We couldn't possibly have a scene continue more than 3 seconds after something interesting starts happening

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

Wait, why did you set a small fire next to the alien?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon The alien's face reminds me of some old ceremonial masks.

is he refilling the tire with a bike pump? wow, tires have really changed in the intervening decades.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

@jonny i.e. now it's Arrival

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

So the car is going to spend half the movie broken down?

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX
