Super Carrot
#Monsterdon

THANK YOU @Taweret@octodon.social for another awesome #Monsterdon

but now i want coffee and roasted carrots

#SilentSunday
#monsterdon

Feels good to CLOSE THE DOOR on another installment of #Monsterdon. I don't think I've ever found the dialogue more anxiety inducing than the action until now.

Gringo Vlad Lenin scientist: am not your enemy, AM BETTER THAN THEM am a scientist, listen to me AM SUPERIOR TO YOU AND THEM am a scientist

The Thing: WHACK!

#Monsterdon

I don't participate in #Monsterdon but I do love to see these posts roll in via boosts every Sunday night.

what happens in the greenhouse... stays in the greenhouse

#Monsterdon

the weird looking alien carrot has gone bad!

#Monsterdon

YOU THING STOP KILLING THE DOGGIES!!!

#Monsterdon

Bela Lugosi looking super-carrot and a light show

#Monsterdon

There's a literal alien running around and this guy's playing solitaire? There's less than 20 minutes left, do you think we'll find out if he wins? #Monsterdon

a rare look into the now closed-down MITs post-human breeding project funded by Jeffrey Epstein

#Monsterdon

sounds like you're describing some force of super CARROT.

#Monsterdon

WAIT! they're defrosting the alien?!?!

goggies know you shouldn't be fuckin around with alien lifeforms

#Monsterdon

she got him tied up at her desk... they are foreshadowing she's gonna let her armpit hair and become a militant lesbian in the 1960s

#Monsterdon

Field of Cabbages vs Alien Carrot was a missed sequel opportunity. #Monsterdon

GERMS FROM ANOTHER PLANET would make for a very topical movie title

#Monsterdon

THE THING is responsible for... the greenhouse effect!

#Monsterdon

there was need for a shooting sciene because, Winchester

#Monsterdon

Pulled one boner out there in the ice...mmmmkay. #Monsterdon

huskies, samoyeds, german shepherds... I LOVE THEM ALL!!!

#Monsterdon

humanoid alien is 8 feet tall... but how big are their feet?

#Monsterdon

geniuses just detonated dynamite because obviously Winchester needed to diversify their income streams

#Monsterdon

it's round!

#Monsterdon

those leather bomber jackets are fucking rad

#Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for #TheThingFromAnotherWorld (from 1951)!

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie at the same time each week and make fun of it. You might want to mute this thread (or the hash tag) if monster movie snarky summaries aren't your thing.

North Pole building code doesn’t require ground fault circuit interrupters

#monsterdon

I can only guess the script writer was trying to subtly remind his children of something they constantly forget to do. #Monsterdon

The hand maybe trying to re-connect with the boner. #Monsterdon

A VEGETABLE MAN!

#Monsterdon

I don't see "bondage" on the bingo card. Oversight? #Monsterdon

i vote for the journalist to be the designated Black guy

#Monsterdon

there's two women, one in a tight fleshy-colored cashmere turtle-neck sweater & slacks. the other had a frumpy cardigan and matronly a-line skirt.

which one will die first 🤔

#Monsterdon

a completely uninsulated metal airplane in the North Pole. how very American of them.

#Monsterdon

that can't be a Siberian husky in that airplane because its not screaming at the top of its lungs

#Monsterdon

Points to a movie that shows appropriate respect for the hot beverage of champions
#Monsterdon

Gringo Vlad Lenin the scientist was monologuing... his end must be near

#monsterdon

this movie proves Americans don't make thermal underwear the way they used to... because they don't make anything in this country anymore.

#Monsterdon

The thrill and suspense of reading radio messages. #Monsterdon

the doctor that wore the black leather apron is now dead?

he was indeed the #DesignatedBlackGuy

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this movie makes me like the mostly offscreen General character more, because with every radio report it seems like the guy on the other end of the radio is tired of these characters' bumbling around and screwing up.

#Monsterdon Once again Doctor Turtleneck has made absurd extrapolations on the motivations and capabilities of an alien space creature based on essentially no evidence.

Observation: it killed a dog
Extrapolations: it must want to reach an open area and is wiser than us!

it's got the goggies?!?!?

🗣️ 📣 SAVE THE GOGGIES!!!!

#Monsterdon

An airplane can melt steel beams, for Christ's sake! /s #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon after Pat and the Pointy Boobed Lady trade snark, we go outside the Snarking Chamber and into the Laboratory Glassware Chamber, where we encounter indoor pipe smoking and a new character, Professor Turtleneck, who was staring at a neon green radar screen.

We learn about an Ominous Explosion and watch a slideshow about it.

he got a queer message... could be Canadians, eh? or the gay agenda.

#Monsterdon

AN RKO RADIO PICTURE

and OMFG this was produced by WINCHESTER PICTURES CORP and has a big ass logo with two rifles

Howard Hawks is the producer ... the name rings a bell

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the ice box!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's frosty adventure was packed with chills, thrills, and cabbages! We had,

* More dialogue than ten movies combined
* Double, triple, and quadruple entendres
* So many doors that are supposed to stay closed
* Intelligent carrot invasion!
* Insane production quality for a 1951 monster movie
* (edit) And coffee! So much coffee!

#TheThingFromAnotherWorld

This concludes this week's #monsterdon

Despite the many bad decisions, nonsensical motivations and incomprehensible squirrel like dialogue, this movie seemed mostly okay.

Leave that monster to me. I'm notorious for killing plants. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Using hammers and farm equipment we have constructed an electricity trap for the hulking carrot man. This trap is energized by our Witty Banter... and also by a Generator that Doctor Turtleneck turned off because science.

Were they going for dark roast or light roast? #Monsterdon

Well these plants all look like pulsating scrotums. We'll NEVER get a grant for this!

#Monsterdon

isn't there a door on the the other end, to the outside?

#Monsterdon

Bolt your doors AFTER closing them. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm convinced that they wrote a novel's worth of dialog for this movie and didn't want to cut any of it.

#Monsterdon Anyway, while our heroes look for the carrot guy we see an arctic greenhouse with a suspicious lack of glass. Apparently it is to grow strawberries for the Eskimos, making me ask questions about the economy of 1950s Northern Alaska.

Holy cats and Pete's sake! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Doctor Turtleneck here extrapolating the evolutionary history of an entire planet from basically no evidence.

#Monsterdon I really want this movie to have one guy in it who talks very slow, like Eeyore, as a frame of reference.

#Monsterdon gonna guess that the whistling dude sitting by the space mummy is not long for this world.

the dogs tried to warn him by yelping but he was busy reading something. I'm not sure what.

Oh wait he fired his gun at it and ran away. So far he has not been red shirted.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon interesting how much this movie relies on exposition for what stuff looks like.

Like we couldn't do an effects shot or a matte painting for the frozen flying saucer... so we just describe it as a flying saucer. And we didn't really see the radioactive dude in the ice... but got someone to describe it!

Oh wait, and after I finished complaining about that we finally see the ice dude, who looks like a mummy. I guess I just had to complain about it on the internet.

#Monsterdon of course we just leave the ice block with the alien in it inside a warehouse to defrost.

Normally, like... you'd think the alien was dead and we'd want to leave it outside the preserve it? Instead of defrost it so everyone can get space plague?

Which some of the people bring up in another high speed argument?

#Monsterdon I feel like blowing up a recoverable spaceship because you're clumsy and stupid is kind of a giant massive L. Like, there could have been aliens in that thing? Or a warp drive? Or some other fantastic technology?

And y'all blew it up after trying to figure out how to get out of the water for five minutes? Maybe y'all should slow down a bit and plan more?

Or maybe they just drank too much coffee on the airplane and are just too jittery to place the bombs properly.

#Monsterdon guy After blowing up the spaceship, they find a radioactive guy stuck in the ice. At least they learned from their mistakes and decided NOT to use thermite this time.

#Monsterdon Captain Pat and Unusually Tall Journalist are having the fastest paced argument in the history of all arguments.

man... this airplane was packed with people and dogs. like an army clown car. you'd think they were Puerto Ricans cosplaying Mexicans #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we depart the dog plane (with dogs!) to visit the radioactive ice skating pond. Interesting to see a large, well crewed expedition in these sorts of movies; usually we get like four people investigating the doom monster.

We discover a shark fin sticking out of the ice skating pond; might be part of a flying saucer or a cool airplane fin. Hopefully its not the radioactive part.

the doctor scientist looks suspiciously Russian. like a blonde Vladimir Lenin.

#Monsterdon

This is one of those great movies I will never get tired of. The dialog is perfect! #Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social #Monsterdon. Great movie! Great company!

My favorite part was how they reinforced the door in the wrong direction #monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

#monsterdon

@forestine @Louisa yeah i was curious too because some people seemed way ahead. this imdb page talks about differences. bondage scene is mentioned https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/alternateversions/ #monsterdon

There were multiple women in this film, and not one of them screamed. Even when she's only got a sofa cushion to protect herself from alien carrot flambé, she didn't scream. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the Unusually Tall Journalist gives an epilogue about how the dumb guys at the arctic base saved Earth from aliens with American heroism and we need to keep watching the skies in case aliens attack again.

Plot Twist: no one believes him.

you can really kinda tell this is a crew that survived world war II combat, legit nothing fazes them #monsterdon

@blogdiva

Yum! Best served with a side of plasma.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Doctor Turtleneck tried to negotiate with the carrot man; however it didn't work because the carrot man did not understand English and also was mad that he crashed his spaceship into this planet and then got eaten by dogs.

Then we trigger the trap and Emperor Palpatine's Force Lightning shoots at the carrot man.

the amount of 'can-do' attitude they have for building makeshift weapons is inspiring, that's the american spirit. #monsterdon

for a #monsterdon movie their desire to survive and ability to stick together is truly off the charts

Holy SHIT those are some dangerous looking fire stunts!!!!! FUCK

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Doctor Turtleneck explaining that the purpose of life is science, therefore its okay if the monster kills us.

Um... okay... I think we might need to qualify things a bit?

@bk1e Also in this issue: How to be the Best Hostess with a Bottomless Coffee Pot! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon vampire carrot man bursts in and they light him on fire. I'm confused with where he got clothes; was he always wearing those clothes?

They didn't kill the alien guy, but they did light one of their houses on fire. They did scare him off though, which is a sensible response to being lit on fire.

I'm counting this as a partial loss for Team Humans.

#Monsterdon this discussion of roasting the vampire space carrot man reminds me of the PZ Myers video on why you shouldn't try to eat alien life. The tl;dr is "It's probably poisonous and if you eat it you'll die."

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld Which decision in this film is stupider?

They're using the wrong kind of ammo to shoot a vegetable. They need grape shot :D #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon why does the plasma look like pink cake frosting?

#Monsterdon we discover a sled dog has been killed by a space vampire. or a vampiric space carrot. RIP doggo, you will be missed.

#Monsterdon so far I'm rooting for the radioactive guy who I guess is also a space carrot. I think he maybe just wants to go home?

He is the enemy of dogs though. My team preference so far is 1) dogs, 2) radioactive space carrot mummy guy 3) other characters.

"Intellectual Carrot" is the name of my Captain Beefheart cover band #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

it's wild Americans would put movie people smoking in the weirdest of places.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm not actually sure if the space mummy dude has done anything hostile yet. It seems like he just thawed out and then somebody shot at him for no reason. Also, the dudes who shot it blew up its spaceship.

So far Earth isn't doing too well for ET hospitality.

im worried im not talking fast enough, scotty

#monsterdon

Keeping it frozen because it could be dangerous OR the air could affect it.. Are these guys actually _thinking_ about the situation? Is that allowed in these movies?? #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld
