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

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#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

lol, this minor character with the hat is giving it his all...

#Monsterdon

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

I note that both "Finally a good plan" and "Surprisingly good dialogue" remain unchecked on the bingo card

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

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

Just over this rise is the fake rock ledge that we paid more than fifty bucks to get built, so we'd better give it a visit.

#monsterdon

@blogdiva

Scotsacks?

#monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX1951

@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

Okay that weasely guy's accent is waaaaaay off.

#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

@muhkayoh

Yeah but it spelt the death knell for the swooning couch industry :(

#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

@Lazarou

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonMemes #ManFromPlanetX

So what about that planet crashing into us soon? No one bothered? Ok. #monsterdon

the alien is my friend

#Monsterdon

The alien is pretty avant garde tbh...

#Monsterdon

Ah yes. This superior creature. Squatting in our basement.
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

#Monsterdon sorry everyone, but I've resisted posting this as long as I could. It's been playing on my head since the daughter's name was dropped…

"Geometry is the universal language" *Mears beats the alien up with a hexagon*

#monsterdon

@jonny I didn't love how the scientist referred to his own speculation as a "theory", but I liked the reporter's kind impulse to try to fix the alien's breathing hose. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX

@bunnyhero Love, music, Spanish.....#monsterdon

Mears is the name of the insufferable guy. Got it. #Monsterdon

It may be a menace, but it didn't look like concrete to me.
#monsterdon

(The movie is now half over now)

#Monsterdon

"The universal language: geometry!"

[Pulls out a dildo]

#Monsterdon

"How's Enid, did the sedative work?"

"Yes, she's asleep now."

WHAT

Why did you just casually drug her!?

#monsterdon

well, he's self-aware, i'll give him that

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"we'll communicate with a universal language... MEMES!"

#monsterdon

Have you tried giving him a pipe to smoke, Professor?

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, the 50s, when doctors handed out sedatives to women like they were candy. #Monsterdon

Did you have to drug the lady?

WTF is going on here tonight?

#Monsterdon

@saucerlost the $64 answer

#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

I know she is concerned because her hand is right by her face

🫸😶

#Monsterdon

WOMP

womp

WOMP

WAAAAAAAAAA

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

first rule of alien encounters: tell no one and lead them directly back to your house #monsterdon

I think I remember this from Freakazoid.

#monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX

"Astounding creature"

I mean he's okay at best.
#Monsterdon

@Lazarou

Maybe he's got a few quid for the fruit machine

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon why was he miming eating? Was he inviting the alien to dinner? Asking for food? What the hell?

#monsterdon You know what that looks like to me?

The Trylon and Perishphere designed by architects Wallace Harrison and J. Andre Fouilhoux for the 1939 World's Fair in NY? It's just me, isn't it 😞

31:00 I think this inspired Steve Martin's perfomance in the 80's Little Shop movie.
