#Monsterdon Don't feed them after midnight, and never, ever get them wet.

@Taweret

#TheMonolithMonsters

dials phone, picks up picture frame holding a photo of his favourite rock

wistful look

#monsterdon

@steggy It DOES just sit around all day, doing nothing.

#monsterdon

The mist is probably dry ice though. #monsterdon

that's a lot of fanfaire for turning off the light

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Fade to black as the bemused geologist stares at the growing rock.

#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

uh-oh the dude may have gotten blackified by that rock!

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

DANGER BRASS! DANGER BRASS!

This piece is called OMINOUS ROCKS.

#Monsterdon

He's got a lot of product in his hair for someone just jumping out of bed #monsterdon

Rock band with trumpet sting! #monsterdon

Alternate take of this scene where the flask is filled with coke and the rock is a giant Mentos. #Monsterdon

@brooke @bikeshed.vibber.net I know, it's been, what, 30 seconds since we last saw it!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Here we see an early and somewhat glitchy version of a lava lamp.

I assume the cutaway means the rock got him

#monsterdon

Now that is what pet rocks shoud be. "Put water and see them grow!"
#monsterdon

Oh, self-cleaning rock! Nice, now it won't be all dusty. #Monsterdon

Oh, I've seen those fireworks before.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

The striations are the concentric grooves found in natural breaks in obsidian and quartz. #monsterdon

@ramsey I'm calling it, this will be the sea that somebody fucks off into at the end

#Monsterdon

Batman-grade labeling job on that tippy flask of water.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

This guy sleeps at his office? Must be ultra hardcore or something.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon These people have contemporary science acumen. Scads of it. Giant mountains of it.

Are we doing a Gremlins? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

That's why a lot of guys would close the window at night

@nev yay you made it to #monsterdon!

"Those are no human rocks!"

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@moira If it winds up taking over the world, let me know

#Monsterdon

@r343l I mean, it could be something worse, like tap water.

#Monsterdon

How long before we have some non-narrator dialog movie? Movie? Is this a silent movie?
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

As someone who took one (1) geology class in college: aggregates are one of the rock types that are pretty obvious...

Also I expect a better range of tests. The basics are really easy!

#Monsterdon

oh no! Baking soda and vinegar!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “What good is a newspaperman?… I should become a geologist.” Ah yes, the excitement and rapid development of… geology.

@brooke *sudden urge for Taco Bell intensifies* #Monsterdon

"I don't stick to my newspaper, my newspaper isn't sticky!"

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Looks like pretty normal obsidian to me!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Why would you have a glass if distilled water sitting there like that anyway.

Well, the Nightvale guy does alright. Just wait, elderly newspaper guy, your moment will come!

#monsterdon

It's a big hunk of obsidian for crying out loud. What kind of geologist is he? #Monsterdon

Newspaper guy in the back lot town just cursed himself #monsterdon

#monsterdon rock touchers

"A place like this where nothing ever happens" oh just you wait, old timer! #monsterdon

This place seems familiar. Have we gone back to the future of this town set?
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

i am yet again 6 minutes late to monsterdon and watching the intro at 2x speed but thanks to the powers of cheating and watching a little bit already i am up to speed on what meteors are #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

No the local press is a crucial part of our democr...

"The desert's full of things that don't belong. Like tuna fish and grape jelly sandwiches." #Monsterdon

Hey #monsterdon, Do you enjoy popcorn with your movie?
Tell everyone how you like your popcorn in the comments :ablobpopcorn:

"That ocean knew that the middle of the desert was a silly place to be"

This is a promising start, I like these characters.

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, on the Paramount back lot..... papers rustle and blow.

#monsterdon

"The desert's full of things that don't belong"

Like people... I agree with Bobby Hill, places like Phoenix are a symbol of man's arrogance.

#Monsterdon

“The desert’s full of things that don’t belong… like oceans.” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon station wagon driver just grabbed that cap WITH HIS HANDS!

"...it just doesn't seem to belong."
"Are we still talking about rocks?"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

It's called obsidian #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

"Lava maybe?"
"No, it's a solid!"

also it didn't burn your fingers off when you held it so

#Monsterdon Ted Ted! He’s drinking tap water!

The closed caption now says "bright, thoughtful music."

#Monsterdon

those strata seem kinda sus. idk

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Midlife crisis for one, please.

"Rock. Why?"

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

It's Colonel Sanders some decades before he went into fried chicken #monsterdon

I didn't know rocks traveled in flocks.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Flock of Space Rocks: clearly not lava #monsterdon

"California Here I Come" just plays on repeat in that room #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

Also the voice of KARR, KITTs enemy in Knight Rider. #Monsterdon

Excuse me, I was looking to purchase an interior. Is this the right department? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh it's a boy scout scientist

#Monsterdon san angelo road? *demolition man intensifies*

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

These movies are just full of Bens and Daves

#Monsterdon Hat, shirt, Department of the Interior… and a microscope. I do believe we’ve found our geologist.

That's such intense music for drinking a glass of water. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the dude in the white suit looks like old david spade

With Tennessee Williams as Mr Cochran #monsterdon

@ryan I'm enjoying all the subtitles for effects and music! "ominous music" etc. #TheMonolithMonsters #Monsterdon

modern films never really explore the possibilities of the putting-down-your-sample-bag sequence

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

(light eerie music)

#monsterdon

peers through a microscope

Yup, it's a rock.

#monsterdon

Those are the biggest shirt pocket I have ever seen.

#Monsterdon

Mom, look! I found coal!
#Monsterdon

that uniform is far too clean for someone who's just driven through a desert and had to fix his car. i think this man is a rock. #monsterdon

Is the music like this because they couldn't afford to pay actors to speak? #Monsterdon

Wow, a car that seats 7 people and isn't a giant SUV. Those were the days.

(if I got hit by the front end I might survive!)

#Monsterdon

the way this is filmed makes it looks like a Marx Brothers movie. Funny...
#monsterdon

Introducing Torque Majeure, Inspector-General of the Department of the Interior #Monsterdon

And we open at the local office of the Department of the Interior

Rock is seething, it's so mad #monsterdon

toshi station! he finally got there!

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

I know this is not that movie but I kind of wanted to see the space rock turn into a (space) crab

#Monsterdon

@socketwench I feel like you might enjoy Garage 54, or the Dank Pods second channel.
