"there only one investigation worth doing, inspector, and that's why you all have these funny 'british' accents and can't just speak normal english"

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

uh, the survivor is not well gentlemen...

#monsterdon

@cherizilla Oh did we actually see that it's a rotary phone and not... I dunno, some other long-lost type of phone?

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

he really doesn't seem fussed you're talking about him like a body at the morgue either...

#Monsterdon

Ludwig Greikenheim?

Why you would think this is post-WW2 film done in cooperation with Germany
or something

Be a simple, bible man🎶

He belongs in a museum! wait #monsterdon

Typical Lomax, amirite?

#monsterdon

these brits, any opportunity to be dickish... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#monsterdon

@chirpbirb Some people have no boundaries

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

And thus the seating negotiations were concluded.

#monsterdon

I don't know anything about flying in space. "I'm a plain simple Bible man." 😂

#Monsterdon

Wow, there is a #Quartermass2!
#Monsterdon

Cops looking into an unsolved space crime. Is this the first Space Precinct?
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

...cratermass

#monsterdon

Product placement for electric razors!

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Rubbing that lint trimmer on your face isn't going to do anything for your beard silly.

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

the lomax!

#monsterdon

Sitting and standing is *complicated* in England

#Monsterdon

Quatermass: Where are my other two dead heroes? I PAID FOR THREE DEAD HEROES. You, not dead yet? Tell me!
#monsterdon #quatermass

I'm a big man on payday?!
Sick fuck

#Monsterdon

What is it VIctor?

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe! Lemon parties! Tub girls! TWO GIRLS BUT ONLY ONE CUP! THE FUTURE IS TERRIBLE!"

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

If he's a gibbering idiot, then I think he technically falls under 'Conscious'.
#monsterdon

But first, shaving time!

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

"'Help me.' That's all he said."

Back in the ambulance: "Help me! Help me, sir, he said, 'fore the farmer bops my head."

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

The experiment was "successful" but two out of three of the participants disappeared.

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I can't judge, I do my nails at my desk

#monsterdon

Earnest question, is that hand diagetically gloved or is the glove meant to be burned skin?

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

“A space rocket”

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Why is the astronaut wearing a gorget? Was he jousting in space?
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

That was not a successful flight of 2 of the crew are missing that the 3rd is probably dead

#Monsterdon

Sir that's a CB radio

#Monsterdon

“Keyser… Söze”

#Monsterdon

Now...somewhere I have read that Nigel Kneale, creator of the character of #Quatermass, really didn't like Brian Donlevy's interpretation of the character. I would assume that Kneale would have imagined a cold-blooded British approach to giving scientific-sounding orders, but honestly? what he's doing on screen fits pretty well with Donlevy's bluster. I can easily believe an American scientist-entrepreneur being so bluff and cranky about everything, rather than going for chilly intensity.

#Monsterdon

spaace... is... big

space... is... daaark

it's... hard... to find....

a... place.... to

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

the angle of the set makes no fucking sense.

The rotating cabin the apparently brings the motor compartment with it makes less sense.

#monsterdon #TheQuartermassExperiment

lol, "Successful?"

#MOnsterdon

Dr Quaker Mass.

#monsterdon

This version of Quatermass is clearly terminally just sick and tired of being surrounded by stupid people. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Sure is lucky the one woman who showed up was related to the one man who lived ...

#monsterdon

I don't think anyone can pass thru that really small hatch, doc
#monsterdon
#TheQuartermassXperiment

Does rolling down a small mound count as ‘monster reveals new power’? #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment

Haha! Hose fight! Hose fight!!!

#monsterdon

it's super dave!

#monsterdon

Now everybody run inside to rescue them

.. or not

#monsterdon

Some of those fire hoses appear to have prostate issues.
#Monsterdon

Okay, these helmets are getting larger and more ridiculous. 😂 #monsterdon

@bk1e

Yeah, next time they'll have a woman. It'll be fantastic.

#Monsterdon #TheQuaterMassXperiment

rocket out there just being drenched, DRENCHED by the firemen

#monsterdon

lol at that one fireman on the left who just can't get it up

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

It's shower time!

#monsterdon
#TheQuatermassXperiment

ZERO?

WHO COUNTS ZERO?

#monsterdon

"Oxygen, morphine, glucose." That's right, everything. #Monsterdon

Fire chief's helmet was sponsored by the Trojan Condom company. #monsterdon

"Get me the oxygen, morphine...." sounds like me Friday afternoon. #monsterdon

Let me see, reckless obnoxious American who ignores all the clever scientists and does whatever the fuck he wants? Launches a rocket and has it come back to earth wherever? Counts on public services to bail him out?

Are we watching proto Elon Musk here? The Quatermass SpaceX periment.

#monsterdon

I got this "Quatermass" background image free from the BBC during the lockdown, but I don't know if this scene will come up during this viewing. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

#monsterdon
#TheQuatermassXperiment
Those firemen are going to be so excited to pour water on something.

PRECISION HOSE SQUAD, EXCELLENCE IN HOSE CONTROL

#monsterdon

Maybe don't drown the astronauts inside. What if an alien fungus has arrived that feeds on water to grow exponentially? This all seems like bad procedure.
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

QuatUR MUSS. 🤨 #monsterdon

#monsterdon He's the poster-boy for Dunning Kreuger.

We tried to tell Quatermass this Xperiment was a bad idea but he just talked over us

#Monsterdon

How is everyone watching? Any... "no commerical" ways? #Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment 🎥🍿

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

300 degrees? I cook food at greater temperatures than that. #monsterdon

"Did you acquire the shaving cream molecule? Urgent! Over!"

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

So far the movie seems determined to show as little as possible.

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

That rocket is at Quatermast.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Tapping on my chamber door. Rapping, tapping, came flapping, flocking on my chamber door.

"Come in Q1. Come in. Are you receiving? Over."

"Your radio is important to us, but our aliens are currently abducting other Earthlings. Please hold the line and your anal probe will be served in the order in which it was received."

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Too hot to put water on"?

But ... you put water on it to cool it off.

"what is this, some kind of xperiment, quatermass?"

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Quoth the spaceman: "GET ME OUTTA HERE" #monsterdon

Ohhh, so this isn't the Quarterflash Experiment?

meh.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

Oh no Quatermass is ... suspiciously like another rocket-launching jerk of contemporary times

QUÅTERMASS.

#monsterdon #TheQuartermassExperiment

"If the whole world waited for official sanction it'd be standing still" 😂

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I'm not going to lie, if you'd given me 100 attempts to pronounce Quatermass I wouldn't have gotten it correct. #monsterdon

oh, this is a literal "damn the regulations and FIRE ZE MISSILES" kinda scientist.

#monsterdon

Almost missed #monsterdon, the best internet of the week.

#monsterdon Yes I hear you! Give a bitch a chance to reply!

"This is Q1. Can you hear me Major Tom?" #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

This is Darkplace-level dialogue

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie proud #Monsterdon

The Ministry of Defence VW bus?
#monsterdon

It's the Mystery Machine! Zoinks! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I once owned a microbus. Out of the roughly hundreds of thousands of times I had to stop in a field somewhere to clean off the points I don't think I ever plugged a headset into the engine and talked to them. Maybe that's what I was doing wrong this whole time.

looking to all the world like the Ministry of Defense just arrived in an RC VW Microbus

#monsterdon

See they didn't have the lady computers of NASA.
#Monsterdon

westfalia on scene lol
#monsterdon

"I'm a policeman, not a fortune-teller!"

#monsterdon

This car ride has a curiously dense amount of exposition in it. Do you think they leisurely discussed those topics earlier and just did a rapid-fire summary at the end there? #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

oi! miss! this is a NO LADIES ZONE!

#monsterdon

Very eco-conscious of them to carpool to the crash site #Monsterdon

Oh, nice VW van! 😍

#Monsterdon

"Quatermass set it up and knocked it down!"
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

@yatsu in this version he is #Monsterdon

I see we're in full-on 50s Science Mode.
