Looks like the cops didnβt feed the rocks. When are the geologists gonna start licking like a couple of rock hounds? #monsterdon
@ramsey #Monsterdon Itβs equally good at astronomy, geology, AND biology.
#monsterdon ~30:45 this is the first time anyone in any movie we've ever watched has pronounced "Meteor" correctly.
Also catching up with the comments, Dave's name is now canonically "Matte Butte"
dude, I think that might be rock scat
The set decoration is awesome-some! Just smash up a few back lot houses add some rocks and Bobβs your Uncle!
#monsterdon Narcos but it's space rock dust
I mean, you don't want to end up like this guy.
A geologist who sniffs sand. Now we are talking!
#monsterdon
"...this sand smells like kitty litter"
Ginny lives a very sedimentary lifestyle #Monsterdon
@Vanalope Indeedily-doo, monsterdonerooney! #monsterdon
if the little girl is being turned into a rock why dont they turn to the rocks natural enemy, paper, or idk dynamite, we have options we know how to work with rocks #monsterdon
So, would she have sacrificed any of the "others"?
"Oh, that's Billy. No need to mourn for him."
If her lungs are filling with silica, thats a nasty case of silicosis! She needs to stop getting so stoned.
#Monsterdon βall the silicatesβ¦ itβs completely unknown!β Then how do you know itβs silicates?
Itβs a stony-IRON meteorite made of only silicates? The USGS would fire this guy so fast heβd become a meteor himself.
"I'm all packed!" The only thing this man needs for travel is his hat. #monsterdon
#monsterdon "She's different from the others, Dave. She's special."
She's half rock at last count, I'll grant that is definitely an oddity
Nothing more romantic than a cheek-press #monsterdon
That's a different car than he drove to Las Angeles.
"stony iron meteorite composed entirely of silicas"
iron =/= silica
*sigh*
But also we can easily determine meteorites by presence of magnetism/orientation of iron, right? I might be confused...

"It'd be fine if the other children turned to rock, Dave. In fact, they could explode for all I care!"
He wears his clothes in layers. No need for luggage!
@strangefour People, please remember to spay and neuter your meteorites! #monsterdon
I've got a lead on 'Oumuamua now
βDr. Hendrix says another 8 hoursβ¦ of rock.β #Monsterdon
Oh man that's not a lot of time to come up with a really sick death pose to stay in for eternity. That's a lot of pressure for a kid
Pet rocks: don't feed after midnight #Monsterdon
Are they going to solve this with capitalism? Turn the town into a tourist trap, sell the rocks? #monsterdon
"Flanders" , "Simpsons", uh...
Oh hey, I think I figured out how to de-stone everyone! #Monsterdon
have they considered a trap-neuter-release program? #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957
"The most common material you can find and yet everywhere it goes somebody dies" = a trope for our times and I guess most times.
Iron lung? #Monsterdon
If you're going to be toting pieces of this rock around put on a face mask at least #monsterdon
Parent meteor? Omg the meteor was pregnant!
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
@moira well, glass is harder than steel soooo (hardness of 7 oh the Mohs scale
"But Jenny's dying!"
"We're trying to avoid that."
Well I would hope so.
#monsterdon
Orbiting only for Centuries?! This guy must be a Young Earther.
HE BROUGHT A ROCK TO THE HOSPITAL?!
#Monsterdon
@nev It's a *something* lung...
#Monsterdon Peleβs curse. Except on the mainland.
Professor Flanders across the way, you'll see him at the Left-handed Rock Emporium.
Simpson.. Flanders!!
ah time for the classic woman being "irrational" and the men trying to talk her down #monsterdon
FLANDERSES!?
#monsterdon Flanders!
βYou can see in this skeletal x-ray how itβs affected her chest muscles and blood vessels.β
Iron lung, was not expecting that...
well I'm sure the doctor wants to save the kid, lady
They got her in an iron lung. #monsterdon
.. or unless you amputate
#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters
was that the police bike siren or did old motorcycles just make noises like that? #monsterdon
So much black dyed sugar glass, so little time #Monsterdon
@nev No, it's a pressure cooker
@holly no, that's the pressure cooker
So, I bet you're wondering what this machine does. It sucks all the piss out of her little body.
#Monsterdon π πΏ βοΈ π π΅ π±
Does this iron lung work vs. stone?
@amyfou@lingo.lol Maybe the Hayes Code didn't allow showing kids dying?
#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters
put her in the softening tube #monsterdon
Wait, an iron lung? How's that gonna help her HAND? #Monsterdon
Her temperature is sub normal? You can't just say she has a cold?
THEY PUT HER IN AN IRON LUNG???
#Monsterdon π πΏ βοΈ π π΅ π±
OK, so Ginny's hand is stoning, and she's tiny - but both her parents fully stoned to death before these scientists even got here to children have some kind of stone slowing immunity?
Oh man, that's a beautiful car indeed
#monsterdon
Today's feature brought to you by Medusa #Monsterdon
In 1957, they didn't have the Internet. So people would try to find porn by looking at minerals through microscopes. That's why he's so upset about the negative cleavage.
#Monsterdon Also, can we talk about the fact that they haven't contacted any of the girl's next of kin?
#Monsterdon 1950s scifi movies: we are going to teach you a lot of random science trivia! Like silicate rock names!
@BsCreativeLife π π€¦ π
@blogdiva It has positive cleavage #monsterdon
Speaking of iron compounds, anyone have a hookup for sodium nitroprusside? I could use a couple of grams and don't want to buy a giant bottle of it.
#monsterdon before you feel too bad for Ginny, they cut a scene of her saying some things about the Irish that have Not aged well, hashtag monsterdon fact
Four Corners to Las Angeles. BEEP BEEP!
Negative cleavage, so basically Kate Moss? #monsterdon
Jenny is getting stoned in the 50s? She's ahead of her time.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
Dr. Hendrix, the Doctor of Rock!
#Monsterdon Tourists?!
From far away they come... meatier. #monsterdon
Impressive that they've already confirmed that the rocks are dangerous and they haven't talked about the water reaction
This guy is so unconcerned about the piece of the rock he has, did he get his rock vaccine or something? #Monsterdon
There's a Rocky Horror Picture Show joke in here somewhere. I can't find it. Maybe I'm too stoned.
"Negative cleavage?"
PHRASING
#monsterdon
Ginny looks stoned #Monsterdon
@paco That would be positive cleavage. Weβve gone negative. #Monsterdon
Simpson Rock ...
oops, dangit. it's TELESCOPE that's in the bingo card. dangit.
This rock is made of anhydrous refabulated amolite!
Is she a lithanthrope now? Do we have to worry about a full, rocky moon?
This is two #monsterdon movies in a row with catatonic little girls in them
#Monsterdon hard as rock
who is good and who is bad
"Negative cleavage"
