Isnβt that where the engine goes? #Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment
RE: https://infosec.exchange/@paco/115958945844846623
Itβs nice to know the WB didnβt start the habit of casting 36-year-olds as 16-year-olds? #Monsterdon
"How far? There isn't a word." Right, but that's why you can combine words into phrases, like "fifteen thousand miles."
#Monsterdon #TheQuartermassXperiment
uh, sir, that's an engine, not a radio
Her voice is so soft it's otherwordly

"we've secretly put a RADIO where the ENGINE was! let's see if anyone notices!"
Why are the policemen from the UK? #Monsterdon
"Who knows how far? There isn't a word!" Yes, that's because there's a NUMBER.
Who knows how far? Didn't THEY know how far? Wasn't it 1,500 miles?
How many sedatives is this lady on? She sounds like she's slow talking in her sleep.

Gigantic field radio in the boot of that van...

You put water on it and the matte painting gets all soggy. #Monsterdon

I wish our "ministry of defense" drove a VW van.
"Don't ask me why because they didn't tell us"
Spirit of #Monsterdon right there
@trixter engage the technobabble! #monsterdon
If it's too hot to put water on, why are you standing that close to it? #monsterdon
57 hours without contact, so it was in low orbit and your ground stations failed?
Well, this is a very fast pace dialog. It's like watching "gilmore girls" all over again, minus obscure references.

Hope whomever is in that rocket has their seatbelts on.
Will Monsterdon's favorite space dominatrix be making an appearance in this one? :o #Monsterdon #TheQuartermassExperiement

Hammer Films made a controversial choice to cast an American as Quatermass. Of course, the strategy was to add interest to the American audience.
Fedi writer of Hammer fanfic @floofpaldi could have come up with many better options.
Cozy gloves on the balding guy. #monsterdon
Look at the Kombi! Or VW Bus in north America, I think #monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment
Rocket landed nose down. Those men are dead.
There's a guy casually riding a bike next to the rocket
#monsterdon #TheQuaterMassXperiment
These people look awfully square to be in a VW bus⦠#Monsterdon #Quatermass1955 #QuatermassXperiment
The scientific team are showing up in a VW micro bus.
Remember when every govt team didn't drive a black Escalade?
He's actually a fortune teller who doesn't predict what will happen
#monsterdon Once ze rockets go up, who cares where they come down......
I'm a scientist, not a fortune teller Jim!
And I happen to be concerned with three men, three very, very sexy men
Snack time for monster time.
Ultraman is watching over us tonight.

All he needs is a smoke and a coffee. Heβll be fine.
remember the ending of C. S. Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet where the protagonist barely makes it back to Earth and his spaceship crashes in a field that just happens to be in England and he stumbles into the nearest pub and asks for a pint?
Watch for the left front bumper>
Nothing to see here. Eh wot? Suppress all curiosity. Be more British. Form an orderly queue. #Monsterdon #TheQuatermassXperiment #Quatermass1955
