Early Geiger. That's more like it #monsterdon

@Louisa I was starting to think my steam was having buffering problems. #monsterdon

@trixter you've missed 15 minutes of the movie and almost 4 lines of dialogue #monsterdon

The doctor's furry hat at a rakish angle, what a fashion plate. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Sounds like a meteoroid.” I’ll have you know, buster, if it hit hard enough to register on the seismograph, it’s a meteorite. Get it straight.

At least they can blame all the bad smells in that plane on the huskies.

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

where's their thing with the two metal wires and the electric arcs going up between them? you can't do movie science without one of those

#monsterdon

pupy #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

my god, that man's hair is one solid piece like a Lego person—

#Monsterdon

@moira He is WORKING that BEARD #monsterdon

"...here, we got pictures of the streaker."
"the meteor?"
"oh, right, yeah, that."

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

@nev

That's what my therapist tells me.

#Monsterdon

A doctor with a turtleneck AND white hairspray, he could fit right into a Godzilla movie

#Monsterdon

Seismograph? Are we gonna get THE CONE!? #TheBrainEaters #Monsterdon

DICTATION GUY SIGHTED #Monsterdon

flirting in ye old days was.. as weird as it is in the present era

#monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon “What else did I do?”
“There were moments when I thought I was with an octopus, so many hands.”
As @georgetakei would say, “Oh my.”

I have forgotten many of the scenes in this movie, but I kinda like the banter between these two for the most part. I remembered the "introduce their past history" scene fairly vividly from my first watch some years ago #Monsterdon

This lady has moxie she knows how to handle the guys.

The motto for ladies working in the north: The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

#Monsterdon

"No lessening or wavering of disturbing element." #Monsterdon

"...would you add a note to the others?"
"Surely"
"Don't call me Shirley"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Calling SCIENCE EQUIPMENT! #monsterdon

test tubes with fluids, we have test tubes with fluids, SCIENCE is in the house #monsterdon

He's writing "Yep. Light still blinking." #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

"sorry, I was just scrying” #monsterdon

"Not now soldier, we're watching The Strobe Show!" #Monsterdon

@moira They can't help it the brake fluid was so tasty #monsterdon

Their relationship seems equal on pranks!

#Monsterdon

Octopus man? #monsterdon

Y'all I fell asleep after dinner and only woke up now!! I hope I didn't miss much. Anyway mute this hashtag if you don't want to see an awful lot of #Monsterdon

making like an octopus, but not in the fun #monsterdon way

if you're struggling to keep up with this dialogue at 500mph these subtitles sync up pretty well with the archive version: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/8971980/the-thing-from-another-world-en #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oooh, there were dirty tricks? Do tell!

"...everyone read that note, you know"
"how about what we shaved on your back?"
"my what?!?"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

A WOMAN, WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS

#Monsterdon

I love how the North Pole station is furnished like a lodge in Aspen. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon Now after all that breezy dialogue, we’ve got some real wind blowing.

Hey, there are women at the North Pole!

"Because it'd piss you off and I hate you soooo muuuuuch" #monsterdon

We have SEXUAL TENSION for the Bingo Card, y'all! #Monsterdon

Oh boy, here we go with this now. #Monsterdon

@sean Engines start. Plane flies away. They are VERY smart dogs. #Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

This evokes memories of working up around Ft. McMurray in January #Monsterdon

When I said LEAVE THOSE DOGS ALONE that's not what I meant #monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

@CactuarJoe A dame?! #Monsterdon

@aprilfollies It's snappy because they're so far north #monsterdon

Hey, there IS a woman in this movie! Honestly surprised at that. #Monsterdon

@ryan Does the coffee come from that spigot on his groin? #Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

What a lovely outpost. I'm sure everything will go well here. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon remember the key rule about pacing is that dead air is wasted time: all dialogue all the time!

Is the wind gonna be from the left for the whole thing? #monsterdon
And why leave dogs on plane?

Did they leave the dogs on the plane?

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Bad news for the dog lovers...
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

THE WHAT!?
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

The frozen Arctic Ocean. I barely recognize you #monsterdon

It’s going to be Santa Claus isn’t it? That’s what they’re going to find.

#Monsterdon

"Taxpayers oughta see this"

??????????????

#monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

#monsterdon

As a tax payer, I would like to know why you think I ought to "see this" #Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

seems like because it's winter, they've only colourized some things and not others. guess that would be cheaper #Monsterdon

you think we're just gonna film outdoors on a soundstage? how about IN THE AIR on a soundstage? goddamn we're good #monsterdon

i think i can see kurt russel from here! #monsterdon

"...what's your position?"
"you better home in on me."
<everyone snickers>

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon Everyone on the plane must have coffee!

"Coffee up front" is memorable for the morning #monsterdon

man, i need this dialogue to slow down a little, i've already had a dinner party tonight, my poor frazzled ears can't keep up. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Welcome to Radio Knock Out theater. Transmitting from the top of the world to the whole globe.
#Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

Scott of the Arctic #monsterdon

"how far away from camp?" "not far at all, queen. just work it a liiiiiitle harder." #monsterdon

Hot Coffee is essential to Air Force operations #Monsterdon

Wtf those poor dogs lol #monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

mr. scott, coffee! also i need those warp engines online in five minutes or we're all going to die! #monsterdon

Don't bother retracting those enormous landing gear #Monsterdon

@ryan When the captain says "take my hand?" #monsterdon

He gets no respect, no respect at all! #Monsterdon

OMG, the men are all hung up on the potential "good looking girl".
<cringing hard>
#monsterdon

#monsterdon CLOSE THE DOOR you'll let in all the asbestos...

Everyone in this show is horny AF.

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

“no matter what the time, no matter how queer they are” #monsterdon

Someone needs a "keep door closed at all times" sign #monsterdon

Not that type of queer message #monsterdon but cucumber mention.

there's a front moving in so get your ass out of here #monsterdon

I do enjoy the military banter in this opening. "Someday I hope to have a navigator and a copilot who are at least dry behind the ears." 🔥 #Monsterdon

we can't afford to heat the whole outside, soldier

#monsterdon

A queer message, youall #monsterdon #thethingfromanotherworld

Now queer messages. How lavender is this movie? #Monsterdon #ThingFromAnotherWorld

A UFO at the North Pole? This is totally a Christmas movie!
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon Between the outfits, the all-male saloon style atmosphere, and the dialogue, the movie dates itself quite accurately. 😂

ah, a queer message #monsterdon

"...close the door, were you born in an igloo?"

#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

#Monsterdon The opening credits tell me this is a Winchester Pictures movie, which must mean it was funded by rifle money and possibly haunted by ghosts.

It is based on a story by John Campbell, which I think means I should expect casual racism.

We start in Anchorage where some air force dudes are playing cards and talking about girls while passing news of a SCIENTIST CONVENTION in the frozen north, which is Probably Important.

@ryan that is a very cool title #monsterdon

this is the worst screwball comedy scene I've ever watched. they've got the patter but where's the comedy?! #monsterdon

It's...

THE THING!!!

From...that soap opera my mum always watched!

#Monsterdon

The Captain is deeply, romantically in love with Santa Claus.
#Monsterdon #TheThingFromAnotherWorld

Chunky guy, square head, and The Permanent Wave. #Monsterdon

dames, amirite?

#monsterdon

Their hairstyles are immaculate #monsterdon

They're playing Gwent
