Cactus Man, Cactus Man

What's the plan for your Cactus Hands?

#monsterdon

I think this film would be a very useful exemplar in a filmmaking class, especially one that focuses on

timing.
#monsterdon

my god, he's turned into a burrito #monsterdon

it's alive! #monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

He's dragging around a large skin flap now?
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I really hate the crotchbuster pipes on bikes.
#Monsterdon

@diazona because it's a plant? nice one

#Monsterdon

Where's the enclosure for the foley department? Have they shown them yet or are they doing that thing where they show every other animal and just play back the foley animals doing their mimicry? #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

Plants crave leopards. #monsterdon

Cactus Man goes to the zoo, has a lovely time.

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

We Ate A Zoo #monsterdon

Kitties

#Monsterdon

Nope. Despite two shaves, still has a five-o-clock shadow. #Monsterdon

Oh wait, I missed my queue…

KITTY!

#Monsterdon

Is it just me or does the movie imply that the cactus is a serial killer, and poor Victor is mightily resisting its demand that he poke people to death? #monsterdon

poor kitten
I guess it's time for panic
#monsterdon
#theQuartermassXperiment

Many animals were harmed in the making of this film.

#Monsterdon

Zoo scenes are reminding me of old style zoo enclosures from when I was young #monsterdon

[hyenas chit-chatting]
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Couldn't he get food just by leaving his hand out in the sun all day?

#Monsterdon

This zoo is awful, can we leave now please???

#Monsterdon

He better not mess with those animals.
#Monsterdon

[monkeys hooting]
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Well, the one recreational activity in all Eppingshire is closed

#Monsterdon

At least the kitties are cute?

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I will say, it feels like they got night for night in this film?

#monsterdon

Is he goo yet?

#monsterdon
#TheQuatermassXperiment

“We ate a zoo”

#monsterdon #TheQuartermassExperiment

....sigh, I really hope these props. #monsterdon

Well it's no Demeter, but it'll do. Rats in the hold.

Little girl plays tea party at shitty industrial waste.

If a little girl demands I stay and have tea and cakes there, I'd run away, too! Probably poisoned.

#monsterdon #quatermass

That poor lion. That enclosure is criminal. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Are those jaguar noises?

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

no no no no no no no being mean to the zoo animals no no no no no no

@yatsu Not to mention the contagion risk, for all they know! #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

I really hope that’s not a real baby in that pram… #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment

QATAR MASS

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

something's telling me it's all happening at the zoo.

#monsterdon

Dang I’m glad city zoos are better than this now 😳 #Monsterdon

@moira nice! 🎉

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

getting some #District9 vibes from our space man there as he transforms 🌵

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Oh great, he needs a shave again. #monsterdon

Chekov's zoo enclosures. Unless they're just randomly thrown in them because lookit the aminals. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

#monsterdon Oh yeah don't get too attached to the zoo animals 😞

Unpaid monkey actors. Poor bastards working for peanuts.
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

What's next? The village people chasing the Monster with pitch forks and torches?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 I want my bedtime story!

I could say I was enjoying this movie but I'd be

lion

#monsterdon

Little girl is the best actor in this whole ass film..

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

this movie has a homoerotic subtext, namely that last scene made me miss the dreamy redhead who made tiktoks about living on a houseboat

#monsterdon

Hmm, aggressive invitation and emphasis on form and etiquette? OMG, is this the young Hyacinth Bucket? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

LION want hug LION!

Simba.

#monsterdon

That is one freaking grim zoo. #Monsterdon

What the hell, man? You need a shave!

#monsterdon

If he can’t have a normal, human-looking right hand, NOBODY CAN! #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment

Stupid Canadian wolf bird #monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

I don't think they mean 'molesting' the way I'd mean 'molesting'

The scriptwriters are packing this expository dialogue in so efficiently that I think I know just a little too much about what's going on. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

I'm creeped out by the zoo sequence
#monsterdon #TheQuaterMassXperiment

The rest of this is just the little girl getting her revenge on that mean man.

⁉️ THE TRIVIA XPERIMENT ❌🚀

Film critic Bill Warren on Wordsworth's performance:

"All Carroon's anguish and torment are conveyed in one of the best mime performances in horror and science fiction films... A sequence in which he is riding in a car with his wife is uncanny: only the alien is visible for a long moment".

#TheQuatermassXperiment

ok, that bushes zoom was a good shot. #monsterdon

Rare case of the little girl being creepier than the monster. #Monsterdon

Goodnight fellas, sleep well. Most likely kill you in the morning.
#PrincessBrideXperiment #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

Wisdom of beasts, natch.

#monsterdon
#TheQuatermassXperiment

This girl is super aggressive and with her tea party invites.

#Monsterdon

Nothing more terrorizing than a young British girl and her dolly by the canal. 😂

#Monsterdon

This kid is flat-out terrifying. #Monsterdon

@jivens That’s ok, neither does the movie #Monsterdon

He broke her dolly! #monsterdon

we have found something creepier than Carroon!

#monsterdon

"What a strange old man!"

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

~25 minutes left of this movie
#Monsterdon

First beheading!

#monsterdon

"Little girl and creepy doll, you are more frightening than all the monsters of outer space!"

#monsterdon

this kid is scary. i think she may be the real monster of this film.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Dolly had to go and lose her head over tea

#Monsterdon

We'd like to make tea. From your plant parts. You are part Camillia sinensis, are you not? #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955

Shouldn't you be in school, little girl?

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassExperiment

#Monsterdon 🚀 🪐 👽 🚀 🌍 🥼 😱

Dolly is very very creepy

I'm feeling much bettah!

#monsterdon

This guy is the comic relief? This guy? #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Don't absorb the zoo animals...

#Monsterdon

Anti-social small child tea party #Monsterdon

There's a very early Star Trek TOS episode with an alien that sucked salt out people and killed them by doing it.
So I guess the idea of aliens sucking things out of people was all the rage in early sci fi
#monsterdon #TheQuaterMassXperiment

#monsterdon

Are we about to get a Frankenstein moment with this girl... ??

'Careful…delay only eight years and someone’s going to start filming for "Dr Who" out there.'

#monsterdon
#TheQuatermassXperiment

One hiding place over, Frankenstein is waiting for his turn to interact with the little girl.

#Monsterdon

Hello little girl who's about to be thrown into the canal.
#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

@cherizilla 👍

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Small child in danger

#Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Watch out little girl, it's Frankenstein!

#Monsterdon

kitty! #monsterdon

That's some gnarly arthritis.
#Monsterdon

ah wonderful, a little girl we can toss in a lake.

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

One pushy kid.
#monsterdon

Ah, the short ties of the 50s

#Monsterdon

Give this cactus man a Johannesburg accent and we've got a District 9 demake going

#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment

and now's the scene cribbed from frankenstein

#monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment

Canalboat!
