This may be the most American of scenes I have ever seen.
"i've only been at it an hour and a half and already i'm about to be shot"
every time i think this scene is going on too long, they pull out a line like that.
They had this in one of the later Terminator movies, where a cop from the first movie helps them.
Genisys I think.
It's the OO-FOES!
BORED NOW [blam]
"Cut it out, you're gonna strain your throat."
Even 5-year old me wouldn't have laughed at that.
Ah. PC Conspiracy Theory. #monsterdon
I think that question answers itself
The cop is an early-adopter MAGAt. #monsterdon

George is right, Larry. Tommy's telling the truth.
OKAY THEN George the Cop freaking out over cattle mutilations is NOT where I expected this confrontation to go, I'll give the movie credit for that, too.
And the other cop is really committed to the whole alien plot thing.
Did a 12 year old write this!?
Why won't you cops believe the stuff only I can tell you #Monsterdon
George is losing it now. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Good, he didn't mention it was a mall tramp this time. Zarrkour sounds like a paid, exclusive version of parkour.
Before you beg people to listen to you, perhaps you should consider whether your audience will ever believe you.
#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
Crazy? Not crazy?
There are so many people that I wish were half as honest as this guy is being right now.
"So. What's the problem?"
Are you KIDDING me dude? Stupid B@stard :blobrollingeyes: #Monsterdon

Why a postal worker?
Perhaps it was that, around this time, there was a high frequency of media coverage of postal workplace shootings and other unusual behaviors. The phrase "going postal" became popular. Management reforms did occur, fortunately.
@amyfou you mean that strip that separates opposing lanes on a highway?
WOW, he's actually believable that he's insane. LOL
I like they didn't even bother to get Newark cop patches, just went with whatever prop they could.
#monsterdon
George also needs an evaluation.
#Monsterdon
"If you're going to patronize me, at least do a better job" word for word my wedding vows #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
Other facts I have learned from the aliens:
- life is a meaningless accident
- nothing awaits after
- all of reality is but a thought in the mind of a deranged dreamer
โBefore I saw it on TV, so I knew it had to be trueโ #Monsterdon
Did this man read a script that had him say the line
"I'm the only one who can defeat Zarkorr!" and took the job?
@heathen_cat How about an infection on the skin of the perineum?
SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT
Heโs got a gun and heโs a postal worker. I have feelings about mocking the murders by the postal worker in the 80s. #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996
It would be comforting to learn that I'm the most average human. #Monsterdon
OMG you (cop) are two feet away from crazy postal worker and could totally shoot him in the head and spare us the rest of the movie
Can we go back to the monster rampage, please. #Monsterdon
If they keep throwing in '90s topical references there's going to be a white Bronco any minute now #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
"I'm the median human." Wow, got it right!
He definitely doesn't sound crazy.
Tommy rants, and the cops are at least looking like "Yeah, guy, you're not crazy, suuuuuuuuuuure." So credit to the cop actors for that, at least?
#Monsterdon ๐ฝ๐พ๐ฆ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ซฃ ๐ฑ
I'm treating Tommy as the 'villain' for bingo purposes
@amyfou dammit tommy learn the difference between mean and median
It feels like every direction and writing choice in this movie is the wrong one. The acting is not good, but I'm not sure I can lay any sizeable amount of blame on the actors they could find for what little they must have been paid.
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr
This cop could just cap him right there. He couldn't miss.
#monsterdon
Ha ha, postal workers used to be under so much stress they used to go on shooting sprees. Now it's teenagers. Ha ha ha. #Monsterdon
@Taweret yeah, I think so, unfortunately :blobcheeky: #Monsterdon
"Because I want to use you as a human shield" I wonder why his hostage won't go along with him, huh.
We're already in plot summary review and we're not even a third of the way thru this film.
#monsterdon Please be my human shield! Sounds like it could be a decent country song.
He did say please, after all #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Put your left foot in, and shake it all about!!! PLEASE!!!!
"I'm armed!"
(cops not impressed)
"he's a postal worker!"
"ok, calm down buddy"
no easy stereotypes for this #monsterdon ๐
#monsterdon So, is this all comedy relief?
#monsterdon great representative acting of what on nerve is a police man
Hey, I wonder what the Legally Distinct Kaiju is up to
#monsterdon
A better choice of line would have been "occupied".
#Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
I want to use you as a human shield. Please. ๐คฃ #monsterdon
"Go away" yeah that oughta do it #monsterdon
#monsterdon Both full of requests and commands, his D/s game is weaksauce.
For those of you too young to have been alive in the late 80s/early 90s, there was a rash of gun-involved incidents involving postal workers. This is the origin of the now-disused phrase "Going Postal" and is why everyone is having a big reaction when he said he's a Postal Worker. #Monsterdon
That one security guard looks like a blurry JPEG of Spud from Trainspotting
Something to remember, to make the weird USPS comments make sense (except not), is that "going postal" was a worth around this time.
@Taweret I'm very confused about what they wanted to do tbh
This police officer is weirdly competent. #Monsterdon
If anyone played postal know this guys are really nuts!
#monsterdon
#zarkorr1996
Shoot 'em all and let Zarkorr sort 'em out. #Monsterdon
๐ "because I want to use you as a human shield!"
"You had your chance!"
Yeah, the king of dry-cold-toast mediocrity is gonna be both beggar and chooser today.
So proclaims the holo-pixie.
#monsterdon Wow, the cops made the security guard seem totally level-headed and reasonable.
"OK, so, what's the problem?"
Yeah, cops say that all the time while holding a gun in your face.
Excuuuuuuuuuuse me! #Monsterdon
That security guard really wants to die in the line of duty โฆ
I dunno, this guy doesn't seem in the kind of physical shape required to defeat Parkour #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
Sorry buddy we spent the SWAT team budget on the giant props for the tiny alien #monsterdon
#monsterdon Keep him talking lady. He's so loud they'll find you in no time.
I have chosen a side. Go Zarkorr go!
Is this supposed to have... "humor"?
What even is tone? What is acting?
#Monsterdon #Zarkorr
Okay, let's not have a Plup Fiction momrent here...
#monsterdon what if this movie was about the main guy going on the run with his hostage and it wasn't about Zarkorr at all
ACAB actors
Bigger than a monster crushing everything? This is bigger news/?#Monsterdon
Aliens a little white supremacists maybe?
Superior beings can do anything!
#monsterdon
Does the word 'no' mean anything to you?
Uh, probably not, I work in TV #Monsterdon
C'mon, where is #zarkorr1996 to step on this guy and end this movie already?
#monsterdon
Excuse me, does "Excuse me" mean anything to you?
Tubi ad is tips for safe cannabis use, can't help but feel like it was chosen specifically for this movie #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader
#ZarkorrTheInvader1996
I wonder what Zarkorr is doing right now.
YELLING IS ACTING!!!
Evergreen #Monsterdon tweet.

"You had your chance. If you're going to patronize me, at least do a better job of it."
Okay, one of the few good lines in this movie so far. ๐คฃ
#monsterdon So many deflated male egos on paradeโฆ
I'm rooting for the security guards. They're the best characters so far.
does now meanโฆbanana? #Monsterdon
I can't believe that guns aren't solving all of his problems. I thought this was an American film #Monsterdon
#monsterdon You're having a supporting actor crisisโฆ
@xerozohar Seems kind of unfair! Also like something you can and should say no to!
