That big rock is absolutely fuming with rage

#monsterdon

I was hoping he'd try to inject her and the needle would bend because she was rock. #monsterdon

AH SHIT

#monsterdon

Oh noes! The gremlins got wet! I told you not to bathe them!
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon What a very narratively appropriate thunderstorm!

*starts to rain

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Is that ... coffee? I don't think that's any coffee we want to drink. #CoffeeWatch

So, we're going to inject silicone-based lube directly into Jenny's veins and hope it goes where it needs to go.

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Good thing this meteor landed in ... the desert

Gee those iron lungs look like fun don't they

#monsterdon

it seems like the solution to this is to just leave the rocks alone

#monsterdon

Ok, this is a chemistry thing so I got this.

If you burned a bunch of metal in an oxygen atmosphere (as in earth) you aren't going to get a bunch of things "ready to activate" you've just made a bunch of metal oxides.

#Monsterdon

this is what scientists do when they're bored, just grind up some rocks and set them on fire. #monsterdon

“What makes it multiply?”

Well, you see, when a mommy rock and a daddy rock love each other very much...

#Monsterdon

If we took the time to plan this, we wouldn't be winging it! #monsterdon

That's an old rock and an awful lot of anthropomorphizing
#Monsterdon

Star Trek did it better.

#monsterdon

Yes! Touch the rocks more! More people are turning to stone but lets touch EVERYTHING! I'll bet he licked it like any good geologist too!

#monsterdon #themonolithmonsters

This handful of gravel is so much more lifeless than the other handful of gravel!!!

Srsly?

#Monsterdon
#TheMonolithMonsters

yeah, maybe we should stop handling those since people have been dying from doing that idk

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok I don't like lifeless sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating....

#Monsterdon

#TrueFacts Actually, getting 20-50mg of silicon a day is good for bone density!

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2658806/

If only I'd seen this instructional film, er, movie, first. 😀

#monsterdon

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS, THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS - Me, the whole time watching this movie

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

So Ginny touched a rock that took all the rock out of her body, and now she's turning into a rock, so she needs to eat rocks, right?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Orthosilicic acid is the main form of bioavailable silicon, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and bones. It is involved in collagen synthesis, bone formation, and mineralization. Supplementation with orthosilicic acid has potential anti-aging effects and can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I suspect after this film your brain will be smashed, but intact. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon One obligatory “Silicon does not work that way!!!”

It’s what makes the skin flexible, if you’re a realdoll #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

We were the silicon based life forms all along!
Time to go meteor hunting in scenic death valley.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

science has never known what the function of silicon was

we don't even know who invented it

#monsterdon

SILICON DOES NOT MAKE THE SKIN FLEXIBLE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

They seem to be taking all these rocks for granite

#Monsterdon

REMOVING SILICATE FROM THINGS DOESN'T TURN THEM TO STONE. QUITE THE OPPOSITE

FUCK MY BRAIN WITH A FORK

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

excuse me the fuck did he say? did he just say that rock looked lifeless? like it was an obvious quality for a rock to have? and others dont look lifeless? #monsterdon

One pile of sand looks lifeless

The other pile... 🤔

#Monsterdon

Colour out of Space vibes on how the rocks are changing their environment and spreading damage

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Lifeless rock and sand? Yes?

GO ON.

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

FEEL the rocks, Dave, be ONE with the rocks! #Monsterdon

Monsterdon and Hashtag games crossing the streams tonight.

#monsterdon #HashtagGames

@Lazarou Easy fix for that, get turned into a rock

It's way harder to break a heart that is rock

#Monsterdon

Are the rocks launching themselves at stuff to smash the houses?

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

"This looks.... lifeless."

As opposed to those usual full-of-life rocks.

#monsterdon

Oh wait, never mind, this rock is just a dried turd. #monsterdon

"See the difference?"

"Colour. This looks strange."

Great insight from our man from the Bureau of the Interior.

#monsterdon

SMASHED BUT INTACT

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WORDS

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

#Monsterdon i like how nowadays movies would have men in hazmat suits collect Ginny but back then they just put her in a car and took her to an eye doctor

@Newpa_Hasai I'm gonna guess no

#Monsterdon

"what is it, hon?'

the kid is in an iron lung, you dork. what do you think

#monsterdon

So we've seen the Simpson house and now we're consulting Flanders?!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon showing that someone's hands have turned to stone is less impressive in black & white

Eight hours - we've got a deadline folks.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon You can't scream "rock" in a crowded hospital

... why does a geologist have skeletal charts on his wall?

"The answer to your question lies buried in those centuries." What are you talking about?

#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

Everyone's manhandling the death rocks like they aren't murdering the populace... #Monsterdon

@rallias "The first widely used device was the iron lung, developed by Philip Drinker and Louis Shaw in 1928. Initially used for coal gas poisoning treatment, the iron lung gained fame for treating respiratory failure caused by polio in the mid-20th century. " This is a 1957 movie. #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

So it turns water into silica? Is this some kind of philosopher's stone?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Stony. iron. Meteorite. Made entirely silicates. You realize those words don't work like that, right?

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

Geologists wrote this #Monsterdon

"...is this the rock?"
"No, this is The Rock."

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Incrediddly-dible! - professor Flanders

#monsterdon

FLANDERS?!

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

"Is that the rock?" "Yeah, I've been using it to shave." #Monsterdon

after all this, no one seems to worry about touching the rocks with their bare hands

#monsterdon

#monsterdon 70's scifi parrochians be like: We need to send these to the best team of scientists. Only knowledge will save us.

2020's scifi parrochians be like: we elected the alien rock in Elections fair and square let's gooo

I dunno, maybe chop her stone hand off and hope this works like zombies?
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon

"Maybe it's lava"
"No, it's a solid." <SNERK/>

(I'm a bit behind again this week)

Will the *rock* keep spreading

#Monsterdon

Negative cleavage?
Yeah, take a look!
🔬 👙

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Wow they're pulling out all the stops here

#monsterdon

"i can't cope with something I don't understand."
SIR.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon An iron lung for her petrified body. The irony is palpable.

The Medusa Meteorites #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Is that an iron lung??? #Monsterdon

Doctor Hendrix, would you please tell us about rock? #monsterdon

The thing I don't get is why none of these men are smoking #monsterdon

is an iron lung supposed to help when your skin is turning to stone??? #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai IMDB says Ginny

#Monsterdon

Iron Lung... of course, because Polio was a thing back then.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon shock can be a mercy. Especially if I don’t find my pants and my belt. Poor girl.

Jenny is more durable than a grown man. #monsterdon

Dr. Jimmy Hendrix

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The minerals and rocks that he named are real words. That’s as geological as it gets.

"The most common material you can find, but wherever it goes, people die." Then maybe use basic PPE?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon She's going to be a weeping angel, isn't she?

#Monsterdon Anyone else think the two best looking people in this movie will get together?

But, like, holy crap those two are good looking! They should call this movie Mannequin Alive!
#TheMonolithMonsters

whelp it's ice-9, been nice knowin' ya

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Negative cleavage? I didn't know of such a thing!

#monsterdon

Chert, feldspar, Sleepy, Dopey... #Monsterdon

Negative cleavage? 🤔

#monsterdon

please for the love of god let the villain of the movie be positive cleavage #monsterdon

We'll giver some 'shots' and see what happens

#monsterdon

Well the cop is a dead man

#monsterdon

@Lazarou #Rocks2028

#Monsterdon

is this a Them! crossover?

#monsterdon

"Sometimes shock is a good thing."

Yeah, trauma is good. It's healthy. It's like cigarettes. It's good for you. 😐

#monsterdon

I feel like a modern movie would have made her eyes look like they were the same material as the rock and it would maybe have been as creepy? But maybe not, because the total lack of response of the kid is pretty creepy.

#Monsterdon

Back. Oh my god, this scene set at night actually looks like it was filmed at night.

I mean it was probably filmed on a soundstage, but damn doe sit look more like night than your average #Monsterdon night scene

#Monsterdon The title “The Medusa Monoliths” was right there, and they left it on the table. Tsk.

get the kid to the hospital's rock ward

#monsterdon
