@wohali i keep thinking they're chopsticks and he's going to eat them #monsterdon

Yanno, I like the forced perspective in this effects shot.

#monsterdon

Due to a terrible misunderstanding Jenny was given silicone implants.

#Monsterdon

So did the production crew pick up all this stuff they spread all over?!

#monsterdon

it's COFFEE!

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

and it makes a terrible cup of cofffee #Monsterdon

Worst fucking machine ever #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

"...maybe you just have to spit on that thang"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@TerryHancock You mean THEM!!!!!! don't you? #monsterdon

WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY ARE YOU DOING TO THAT COFFEE!?

#monsterdon

@TerryHancock It's always fun discovering the things your favorite art is homaging.

#monsterdon

"IT'S NOT A TUMAH"

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

"It does everything but grow."

'Salright Dave, it happens to everyone at times. #Monsterdon

„How is Jenny?“
„She picked up playing guitar and goes by Bocchi now.“
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon so when they say silicon, do they mean carbon? Or maybe collagen?

Silly con levels dangerously low #monsterdon

My mind it starting to wander.
What if this silicon sucking meteor is a piece of Unicron's digestive track? It was part of the process Unicron uses to turn planets it eats into new parts of it's body as it devours and grows it's way across the universe.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

He is REALLY killing it with his tweezer acting. A lost art of the 1950s and 60s.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Between this and last week's "Them!" it's really evident that Aliens didn't invent the "little girl in shock" trope.

Maybe silicon makes *your* skin flexible, not mine #monsterdon

Illegal aliens stealing our dirt! #Monsterdon

Silicon injections...who knew Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeons had such life saving skills #Monsterdon

The California Institute of Medical Research and Tennis Club #Monsterdon

Evidently the meteor was wandering around in space for either centuries or billions of years

#Monsterdon

Bless 'em, they really are doing their best to commit to the whole "horror movie about rocks" thing.

It's not working, but bless 'em for trying.

#Monsterdon

COFFEE!!!!!!!!

#monsterdon

The researcher is getting narrator disease but they could slow it down with more silicon #monsterdon

Billions of years… I don’t think this movie will be getting a Dove Award

#monsterdon

"There's no telling what's going on inside it!"

There could be any NUMBER of exotic dancers in there! Nuns, Chippendales, naughty librarians! Ready to jump out at the slightest touch! #Monsterdon

"3 hours? Or 3 minutes? Well, which is it?!?"

#Monsterdon

Billions upon billions upon billions. #monsterdon

"...three years, or three minutes"
"That's quite the spread, Dave."

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Now I won't be satisfied until they fight a Gollum

#monsterdon

and rocks

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

"Tempratour"

all their hands smell like pee and poop

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

I've heard of not throwing stones in glass houses but glass stones at wood houses? #Monsterdon

Wrecked *midcentury* furniture is still worth something #monsterdon

Tempatyoor #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

#Monsterdon How do you out silicon in a person anyway??

#Monsterdon Do we know if either of them were making mountains out of mashed potatoes last night?

@nev
This geological info was all common knowledge in the 1950s. Sadly, education standards have fallen. 😖
#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Wandering in the desert in business casual.

#Monsterdon

Silicon Valley has always been something that should be feared and avoided, it seems.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@blogdiva #monsterdon Alien in boobies a much stronger selling point than silicone In boobies

Hats off to the production crew who had to scatter these things all over the TMZ to get that shot

#Monsterdon

@paco @plaidtron3000 it depends how much silicon is in it...needs to be flexible enough to remain intact right? #Monsterdon

Science has never been sure what the function of silicon was. But there is one theory that it can be used for your mother to text you jpegs of Minions saying bible quotes. #Monsterdon

All this talk of Silicates is very transparent #Monsterdon

(yeah yeah I know it's mostly saline these days, just let me have this) #Monsterdon

"theory that silicon is what makes the skin flexible"

someone got silicon confused with collagen?

The science got really weird, really fast here...

#Monsterdon

Well, at least they don't try to bull shit in this movie, they go direct to the point!
#monsterdon

I *have* encountered various good sci-fi works about silicon-based lifeforms or minds evolving.

This is not one of them.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon YES DAVE, LIFELESS ROCKS

@jonny He's speaking aesthetically. One handful forgot to moisturize and exfoliate #monsterdon

#Monsterdon i wouldn't be, uh, touching the rocks

SILICONE! this movie was paid for by the United States Association of Plastic Surgeons 😜

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

No, sir. We put lightning in silicon and make rocks think.

#monsterdon

ok which of you biochemists in the audience is gonna do a post-show lecture about all the stuff silicon does in the human body #monsterdon

Tell the doctor to start injecting Jenny with the fluid from breast implants! #Monsterdon

if you did this again you'd have to have all the wallboard crumble except for the paper, which would be weird and neat

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Um. Silicon is what makes the skin flexible. Apparently. Don't get it sucked out of you...holy cow

@Lazarou Ironically I just bought the full DVD series of Silicon Valley

#Monsterdon

flexible? you're thinking of silicone, not silicon

#monsterdon

@thatdawnperson Order Space Rock today for a cheap & easy alternative to top surgery! #Monsterdon

MOTHER HORTA

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Oh, those innocent days when we didn't know what silicon was for, before we taught it to scream.

#monsterdon

Silicon = trace element

*waves from the future*

#Monsterdon

Holy crap people, stop putting your hands on the death rocks!

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Ah yes Silicon the Most Essential Element for life #Monsterdon

It’s like tribbles—but glass! #Monsterdon

@ranjit its not all dust in the wind ok?

#Monsterdon

One looks lifeless. The other looks like a dog peed in it #monsterdon

#monsterdon It's where Elon Musk came from

Pretty sure both the sands also lack cheese but why aren't we talking about that

#Monsterdon

The answer to my questions also lies buried in those centuries.

#Monsterdon

So, conspiracy theory time…

Let’s go back the teacher confiding in this kid who can’t keep her mouth shut. What if she did this to the kid to make sure she wouldn’t go yapping about her little secret crush?

#Monsterdon

Someone please explain to me how you going to have iron meteors made entirely of silica compounds?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters #scianceBabble

Looks like that chocolate pecan pie went out of control.

#monsterdon

you can't just take this rock for granite

#monsterdon

"Science has never known what the function of Silicon does."

😂 😂 😂

#monsterdon

So much geology... This would work much better as a short story.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

it's BLACK ALIEN rock spreading WHITE gravely dirt… uh-oh… it's icognegro sand

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon
They look a lot like obsidian / volcanic glass to me. I think I would've had the geologist guess that until proven otherwise.

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

These pebbles look ... lifeless! Unlike these other pebbles, which look ... lifeless.

It looks just like Nevada!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hang on… the SILICON is MULTIPLYING?? It’s a computer, run for your lives!

Dude that looks like the contents of your ashtray
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Has anyone noticed that Dave is acting a lot like a county deputy? Why hasn't someone said, "Can it, Dave, you're Bureau of Land Management!"

These rocks ... they're dead! #Monsterdon

Dave is gonna be a stone jedi by the end of this film, probably

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon how is the school teacher still involved

it really is some twilight zone framing to me, but I guess it's just 1950s 4:3 staging?

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@srol Science trench coat = lab coat, but better tailoring.

#Monsterdon

How to tell your movie is from the 50's: police escort #Monsterdon

Shiny rocks are the Werner Herzog rats of this movie #monsterdon

I know I'd seen this movie before long ago, and I remembered it was slow but the special effects were cool. I forgot how long this movie is a slow boring 50s monster movie before the "monster" really shows up.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

I’m catching up but…. Adventure Through Innerspace narrator!!!

Edit: IE Paul Frees I suck

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

pokes rock with a stick
