Enter the loudest, lowest-tech flying saucer to appear in any movie!
OMG, they keep doing it, is it intentional?
The plot of #DevilGirlFromMars thickens, but only slightly, when the astronomer guy decides to flirt with the fancy lady by telling her about his newspaper column and trying to discover her mystery (why she is here in this town), which he fails at. Also they talk about scotch as the driver also decides to flirt with the fancy lady, as a flash of light that might be a spaceship appears in the background. #monsterdon
See kids, back in the days before google maps, you had to get out of your car every so often with a flashlight to see a crossroads sign. #monsterdon
Weird. The matron of the establishment is wearing the table cloth and the table is wearing her dress
A Scottish man with a drinking problem! How very droll.
I hope this guy is a Professor of Mars-ology. That could come in handy. #devilgirlfrommars #monsterdon
Street sign for The Bonnie Charlie. I love this area.
Mr Jamieson has many problems....
Wait is this an ACTUAL night scene shot at night? The rarest of #monsterdon unicorns
Itβs like they made a movie about the Scottish countryside and shoehorned a girl from mars into it. #Monsterdon
"How did they treat you in there?"
"How did they treat me in PRISON, Doris? They took away MY ACCENT, DORIS, can't you hear that?"
so far so soap opera
#monsterdon And I'm gonna fluff the coal pile, so no sticky leavings! You people with your coal fetishes!
Oh, it starts with a UFO/UAP/Drone (well, meteor) panic?
You're not a meteor. #monsterdon
Damn, this guy is v. well dressed for an escaped convict
according to movies something spooky always happens when you go to scotland
Hell yeah another gigantic, extravagant "local pub"
The stars are not millions of miles apart.....
The rumors that *nothing* happens? Immediately proven wrong by plane explosion and meteor. 10/10 so far #monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars
was that a boeing plane? #TooSoon #monsterdon
did that plane just explode?
Representing Lemmy for #monsterdon !
@homelessjun@mas.to she does kind of have the right eyelashes and demeanor for a romulan. #monsterdon
could nyah actually be vulcan or romulan, #monsterdon ???
@combatwombat teeheehee
@CactuarJoe It seemed that a number of Martians thought Nyah was going to be unsuccessful, but she went anyway. Maybe she liked to think they didn't have faith in her organic metal ship* but I think the other Martians thought her people skills were extremely weak. Or maybe they didn't think Earth men would be sufficiently biologically compatible. Anyway, I think maybe they TOLD Nyah not to go but she went anyway, to prove them wrong, and because she just WANTED to dominate and this situation was what she could use as an excuse. On the other hand, maybe they expected her ship would blow up or those sneaky Earthlings would blow her ship up, or maybe she'd actually bring back some Earthlings and they'd turn out to help them spawn some Mar-lings after all. #Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
@anarchopinko This whole thing was definitely weird in one way or another
@diazona That's my whole deal ^^ #Monsterdon
@steggy @Infoseepage @paco That makes me queasy just thinking about it. #Monsterdon
@combatwombat thank you!
...Your *actual literal* gangplank I mean, the one on your UFO. That's not a metaphor. #Monsterdon
@blogdiva Not to be overly pedantic, but wouldn't he be the dispensor, not the receptical?
@north It's not actually a disintegration beam. They're just pushing it into the fourth dimension.
@anarchopinko wait WHAT
I thought they mysteriously fell in love over the course of like two hours... if they were actually married they did a spectacularly bad job of showing it
(The innkeeper couple was married, I think)
@Infoseepage @paco @ramsey vas deferens probe
i just noticed there's a colourized version of this on archive.org. did anyone watch that copy? #monsterdon
@paco Devil Girl from Mars, the Pedometer Cut. #Monsterdon
@blogdiva I love how this equation starts with Wuthering Heights
@SordidAmok Maybe so. Or maybe people (women) try harder to look younger now? Or are better at it? So it throws off the calibration π€· Personally I kind of doubt that it's even possible to guess ages all that accurately, maybe unless you're *really* well trained, but I dunno.
I'm sure somebody knows about these things.
@apLundell time to establish #PubMovieDon for sundays at 10:30
Thanks @Taweret for another fun night! :)
Next week: The whips & chains ladies of Jupiter?
Hmm. That might be the best bad movie we've had in a while. Like actually bad but entertaining for us to riff on. Not Aztec mummy pain or legitimately good movie.
#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
Not seen a movie where the ending was the climax.
#monsterdon now THATS what I call monsterdon 2025
This is the second British sci-fi film we've watched in this format where everyone just hangs around a pub and talks about what's going on.
I want all movies to be in that format from now on.
#Monsterdon *kerboom*
interesting, i wonder how they did that explosion effect
kinda looks like paint poured into clear oil shot from below or something?
KABOOM!
Albert the fugitive done blowed up the Martian Mistress's ship I guess I dunno.
THE END
Sad ending I for one would've welcomed the Martian Mistress and JohnnyBot overlords. The least the could've done is to make getting to the implausibly critical vulnerability take some, y'know, EFFORT
Still #Monsterdon is like pizza, even when it's bad it's good. Thanks again @Taweret !
Not really a very sci-fi film. She could have said she was from France or something and it work about the same. #Monsterdon
It was just such a sitcom episode ending. #monsterdon
Maybe spaceships are supposed to do that you don't know
Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social and #monsterdon folk!
That movie was not good. But it was at least somewhere within sight of OK and for that it gets a cautious "meh". G'night all!
So, he was able to blow up the warp core, how? By punching it?
#Monsterdon
why would Albert even do that, he was going to get the most laid anyone has been but nooo had to explode the ship
#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
That was actually not as bad as I expected, some things happened and there were some good costumes and surprisingly OK special effects
Horniest Monsterdon ever?
remember when she got blurry? good times
#monsterdon Christ, that was convenient. Not even any collateral damage even. Just up up and... How did they have a phone? Isn't the nearest phone seven miles away? Aw, whatever man. It's over now. There's the perfunctory end. They quite simply ran out of film.
And the radioactive fallout devastates all of Scotland #Monsterdon
LOL THE END OF COURSE
so they killed off the only character anyone character about
the end
ty for joining, everyone!
@Lazarou I wasn't paying a ton of attention but it didn't look like an atomic explosion π€·
Well, it was a nice explosion for a lame movie
#monsterdon
So he was a killer after all along! #Monsterdon
An actual happy ending. #Monsterdon
.......sure. #monsterdon
We'll all have a drink! Even the boy!
Well, Albert/Robert saved the day, and the explosion gets to fuck off into space.
Cool-looking explosion!!
L8r suckas
#monsterdon
Ok. That was a pretty cool explosion effect.
wow: that explosion may be the single best effect in this movie
#monsterdon
It happens sometimes. Spaceships just explode. #Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
#monsterdon MONSTER BOMB
So ... the ship was really space popcorn?
nice paint-in-water practical effect for the explosion.
The Devil Girl cometh, will you cometh for her?
#Monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars
#monsterdon And there it goes, the spinning Thai Hotpot... back to Mars. Fine. Maybe it'll retract it's landing gear that looks like poop.
Beyblades go!
oops, looks like he didn't punch hard enough. #monsterdon
ββ¦oh diddly dee, it's a subservient's life for me!"
WE GET ROTATION! #monsterdon
Michael's strut through the door, pause, and then goofy start into a "run" was very silly I liked it a lot
#monsterdon The Devil Woman from Mars is the perfect recipient of The Rabbit sex toy. Just leave D-cells like Reese Pieces back to her ship, where she buzzes and moans until she takes off, her bloodthirsty murder ship just can't take the sweet afternoon delight and she just fuckers back to Marsβ¦
"Look, Romulus isn't _all_ desert, there are nice parts..."
#monsterdon
'β¦as simply as I can:
A latex-clad lady from Mars
Kept us all in this quaintest of bars
β¦.'
@ohiofi and none of the women WANT THEM TO GO
@CactuarJoe and not in a good way! #Monsterdon
seems like we could've saved ourselves a lot of grief by just doing what the Devil Girl says. and some of y'all would've got to go to mars which sounds cool
honestly the convict and the bar maid have 2000x times the chemistry of the other two
and it's still barely on the metre
