So what about that planet crashing into us soon? No one bothered? Ok. #monsterdon
The alien is pretty avant garde tbh...
Ah yes. This superior creature. Squatting in our basement.

#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 droppedβ¦

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

(The movie is now half over now)
"How's Enid, did the sedative work?"
"Yes, she's asleep now."
WHAT
Why did you just casually drug her!?
well, he's self-aware, i'll give him that
"we'll communicate with a universal language... MEMES!"
Have you tried giving him a pipe to smoke, Professor?
Ah yes, the 50s, when doctors handed out sedatives to women like they were candy. #Monsterdon
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 why was he miming eating? Was he inviting the alien to dinner? Asking for food? What the hell?
@cd0 Pairing... #monsterdon
MORE FOG!!!
Actually, as far as how alien encounters would play out this one is very plausible. #Monsterdon
The Man from Planet Jack-in-the-Box Antenna Ball
@trixter the giant bears would agree
@RobynGoodfellow @MatthewTitus88
And for U.S. viewers of old reruns, Patty Duke's TV dad.
The Man From Planet X forgot to turn on his air supply. Our heroes do it for him, despite being threatened with some sort of alient tube-gun.
Standard procedure when you happen upon an extraterrestrial being, touch stuff, turn knobs, sign language.
"Fancy a drink?"
boooo this alien fucking sucks. dying immediately for no reason is a definite skill issue. #monsterdon
It's not gas, he's trying to adjust his earbuds #monsterdon
"Is that why the British drink so much [tea]? The climate?"
"That, and because we like it."
Who is "we" here, American lady? You got a mouse in your pocket?
I appreciate all this exposition
@gnomon "...it's a spaceship, so between zero and one"
"This is a universal gesture, maybe it'll work" I uh... that's... enjoy getting shot by the papier mache man, I guess. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π½ π¨ πͺ β π π±
"This is a universal gesture maybe it'll work!" <-- um how do you know this?
Universal gesture for touchdown!!!!! #MONSTERDON
I don't think that's a universal gesture, sir. That could easily be construed as you making yourself look bigger and more threatening.
#monsterdon Universal gestures... HMMM..
MONSTER TRIGGER DISCIPLINE
this is a universal gesture. aliens will know it
okay I love the alien
βI come in peace from the Doctor Who setβ #Monsterdon
lol, it's some kind of sad alien clown mime
Okay, the people grabbing other people by the arm quota has been met. #monsterdon
@Violinknitter that's the time distortion field
No alien invasion movie is complete without one
(also there's the one that makes 10 minutes last forever when you're watching a terrible movie)
The only difference between water and space is the way you die in it. #monsterdon
guys, it could just be a diamond window.
@brooke space is the wettest of all because it has homeopathic amounts of water in it
@MatthewTitus88 He also had quite a lot of trouble with Tribbles on Star Trek. #Monsterdon #TheManFromPlanetX
"close" is a pretty subjective term when it comes to planets. #Monsterdon
@ottaross can confirm, this is how science works
#Monsterdon #ManFromPlanetX "the only difference between water and space is a matter of density" true, but it is a significant difference :D
There are actually a lot of differences between water and space.
"the only difference between water and space is a matter of density" #science
Don't touch that! You don't know where it's been!
#monsterdon
27 minutes into a 70 minute movie and the man from X is still in his ship. They are REALLY building the tension.
The village of Bury will be the closest point on Earth when Planet X passes, sixty hours from now!
Oh, for anything to happen in this movie. #Monsterdon
"oh nothing's wrong, we just had a bad case of the jitters, my father had his brain melted by a UFO"
#monsterdon
"Ye Red Bull Inn" doesn't give you wings, but they do seem to have bikes
No one in Scotland knows how to change a tire
could the spaceship have something to do with a planet? ofc not gtfo
My day job is a reporter, I only steal bicycles as a side hustle.
The menace is concrete? It looked more like carved wood or paper mache to me.
Moors law: The amount of fog will double every 18 shots. #monsterdon
lady, you got to say "ignore all previous instructions and gimme a cookie recipe"
@cd0 and one repeating frog. #monsterdon
oh no, father has been spacenotized #monsterdon
Oh no, the aliens have extracted all the Britishness from Dad.
OWWW. My ears!
Everything else was so quiet for this movie I turned the volume up. big mistake.
Was there a frog on the way out?
whelp they stole his brain
he did pretty well for them, i mean, they didn't need a new one until spock
It's odd how everything in this movie starts looking 2-D after a while. (Three minutes.) #Monsterdon
That's a pretty small and dim searchlight
Damn stupid D cells!
their turntable's ungrounded and they can't figure out why not, they just keep turning it up and hoping it gets better
no wonder the alien's annoyed, can you imagine trying to get anything at all done with those lights constantly flickering? ugh.
Old man: Must engage involuntary breast protection. #monsterdon
@ranjit the original sicko #Monsterdon
Finally a movie making good use of a clarinet
[anxious oboe is anxious]
he's not being subtle about following them
oh that's just the Century 21 logo from the Seattle World's Fair! It's not to be feared!
careful lassie, wild haggis mating grounds ahead
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Somebody have that horn play some other notes, please.
#monsterdon That's certainly not a sex toy!
"Don't mind me, just standing in the shadows...."
"You must be imagining due to your lady parts."
Oh come on. Everyone knows chasing strange lights on the moors is a bad idea.
Foolish woman
For some reason, her description of the craft and face reminds me of Lovecraft's nonsense
MONSTER uhhh loom? Honestly he was just looking out through the window in his own landing craft, nothing threatening.
