Oh no, the rocks are getting boulder #Monsterdon

Balsa wood barns are just not made the way they used to be.

#Monsterdon

Say what you want about this movie, but the video game adaptation was a lot of fun. #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

oooo, they're rebuilding what they have destroyed, some very alien shenanigans

#monsterdon

Oh shit my hand's gone ps1 graphics! #Monsterdon

Frick yeah miniature giant rock special effects!
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

I kinda want this movie to get a remake just for the people turning into rocks effect to look like anything at all.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

another ashy black incognegro dead

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Ah the 50's, when the police would just commandeer an entire town's children and it was cool

#Monsterdon

I'm just an old country reporter

#monsterdon

Are they giving the Capitalist Bicycle Children something very, very dangerous to do

#monsterdon

"unless i can tell em how much they'll get paid."
smart kids.
#monsterdon

@starkraving666 Because the dog is still alive, just stoned.

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Out of context #monsterdon line: "Look at the dog, he's as hard as granite!"

I found the Science Coffee Pot! It's a "Pyrex Flameware 6 Cup Coffee Percolator"

#monsterdon

I don't know ALL the science but it sounds like the solution to this problem is salt and vinegar flavoured microchips #Monsterdon

@gnomon 2024 People would not be as naive
Destroy the child

#monsterdon

if they don't make the rocks talk or do telepathy or something they will have made a grave mistake #monsterdon

You all laughed about my iron lung cure but who's laughing now? #monsterdon

the rocks grow hard and hard until they can't anymore then they tumble down and break up into chitlin pieces and some rain coming down makes them doing it again and again and again

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

They ARE monsters!!

quick deploy the national umbrella service!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon This movie just got very meteor-logical.

Collision of the sciences!

#monsterdon

Quick don't call the government! Just leave town

#monsterdon

so what I'm hearing is, the coffee is safe? so we're good?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon “I can’t stand the rain, against my window”…

William Schallert! Nancy Drew's father is supposed to give us GOOD news! #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

This is the best "grow your own crystals" fun kit I have ever seen.
#Monsterdon

[Ominous rock sounds]

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Coming soon: 'Attack of the Killer Stalagmites! #monsterdon

"No one will date me. My intense coffee brewing methods scare all the dames away." #Monsterdon

Ahhh, NOW they are Monoliths!

#monsterdon

...and with the rain around them as well, slowly slowly the white dudes work it out.....

Doesn't sound like that coffee helps at all

#monsterdon

It drank your coffee!

#monsterdon

POP ROCKS IN THE SINK

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Obsidian mushroom!

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Coffee! We have 1950s coffee talk!
Welcome back to Monsterdon coffee.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

"aw yeah, I haven't had a bath in 1 million years!!" -the rocks in the crater, probably

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I wonder how many current sci-fi movies will look dumb AF in the future because we don't understand how some basic things work

"Silicone, what if you remove it from your body? Do you become a rock?!"

Wait, how is that coffee responsible for his prolonged bachelor status?

I guess anything is better than admitting you're gay in the 50s and 60s 😄

#monsterdon

Unfortunately, we're in somewhat mountainous California, not the Atacama. (Though I guess they get fogs...)

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

honestly I feel like this movie exaggerates the dangers of people wandering into the desert to pick up random rocks

#monsterdon

i want this Science Coffee Pot

#monsterdon

The rocks don't want to multiply if you don't touch them the right way. And whisper sweet nothings in their ears. #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Uhhh, this is the stuff that's in those Do Not Eat packets. And yes, it absorbs water.
#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#monsterdon there’s a joke here about geologists knowing good cleavage and silicon implants…

"Ladies, prepare yourselves...I will have to experiment on this child"

Brings out a Jazz album...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Anyone want to ask out basic humidity? Nah? Nah!

Godammit, this a boring script

#monsterdon

we know that the body contamination only seems to happen with extra water so i'm taking all this rock handling as proof that none of these people have _ever_ washed their hands

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Oh schist! They're gonna need a bigger rock hammer

#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

Better lick them to be sure #monsterdon

Oh! It's *not* turning people to stone per se. (I mean, it's a silly result, but hey)

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

How high were the writers? #monsterdon

Silicon vampires! #Monsterdon

He sniffed the sand.

#monsterdon

How the hell do they know the rocks have multiplied?

#monsterdon

They're very careful not to mess-up each other's makeup

#monsterdon

They figured out it's a meteorite pretty quick.

#monsterdon

If her lungs are filling with silica, thats a nasty case of silicosis! She needs to stop getting so stoned.

#monsterdon

Hang on, I need to change out of my science trenchcoat and into my traveling blazer. #Monsterdon

Stony iron meteorites don't work like that, I think?

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

More than centuries dude, millions, possibly billions of years....

#monsterdon

The only way we can defeat this rock is with PAPER #monsterdon

they should have read the Nethack wiki. Everybody knows the best way to avoid turning to stone is by carrying a lizard corpse
https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Stoning #monsterdon

Sure, let's slap her in the iron lung. That'll fix this. #monsterdon

I'm just waiting for the Dr. Hendrix guitar solo. He is after all a rock legend

#monsterdon

Does she have a weird alien hand?

There's always one in the spaceship crew, isn't there? And they never tell anyone else until it's too late...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon A specialist in WHAT?? Post petrification syndrome??

It's the Rocky horror picture show! Quick, cue the music
#Monsterdon

Impressive that they've already confirmed that the rocks are dangerous and they haven't talked about the water reaction

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

oh yeah, people can't resist rocks

#monsterdon

This is two #monsterdon movies in a row with catatonic little girls in them

"Negative Cleavage", I guess you're talking about Twins of Evil. #monsterdon

Negative cleavage eh? Like me in high school? 🥺

#monsterdon

Quick someone hold some formic acid under the kid's nose. #monsterdon

it's the Ice-9 of rocks

#monsterdon

yeah that family are all nano fuel now, the rocks have control of the situation

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this rock is digging the soak!

Lick the rock.

Geologists swear by it.

Do it....

Do it....

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero #monsterdon
It won’t matter so it’s fine.

"I'm a newspaper man and this is news!"

So you're not the WaPo or NYT then?

#monsterdon

My god, it's full of quartz #Monsterdon

The only thing holding him together now is tobacco tar #monsterdon

Magical rocks that react vigorously with water? Isn't that just sodium?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon Oh no! She brought the rock home! That’s a big responsibility, kid, you’ll have to feed it.

I see we’re already bathing it.

@gnomon my sediments exactly!

#monsterdon

The teacher picking up all the kids in her car is almost sounding like socialism, she should be careful of the FBI....

#monsterdon

I can only hope Ginny is the next victim.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon hello sweet children, now, EXPLODE! Each of you! Wetly!

The real monster here is seat-belts

#monsterdon

lol, that Child is nano-fuel now

#monsterdon

You can't do the vaseline lens trick with 2 people in the same shot! Come on...

#monsterdon

Now that's a land cruiser! #monsterdon

What's that there, Jenny?

Lizard!

And we've passed the Bechdel test.

#monsterdon

I think that geologist has been dropping acid

#Monsterdon
