If anyone's wondering, the colorized version (one of them) turns everyone a pale jade ectoplasm color before they disappear in the... presumed death ray? #Monsterdon #earthvstheflyingsaucers

the delayed reactions of the people to the UFOs are so funny

#Monsterdon

and the aliens zap large portions of the army out of existence. good for them! #monsterdon

Have Americans considered not immediately shooting things? #Monsterdon

run away! they have wobbly animation powers! run away! #monsterdon

Ooh, that part's supposed to point at the ground. Otherwise you will not go to space today. #monsterdon

maybe small arms fire will work! #monsterdon

The canon doesn't work, quick shot it with those small guns!
#Monsterdon

Don't worry, dear, that happens to everyone some times. #Monsterdon

Classic "artillery doesn't penetrate, let's bring guys with rifles, shirley that will work" scene. #monsterdon

Oh no! It's a wiggle ray!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

It’s a Judoon Platoon not on the Moon
#Monsterdon

And now the ball-handed, bullet-header saucer being arrive! First thing we do is shoot one. They return the favor, in spades.

#Monsterdon

mind blowingly good SFX here that are even more incredibly holding up in the false colorization. is this actually #monsterdon ?

Wee aliens in wee space pjs. #Monsterdon

Wow, straight to artillery uh?
#Monsterdon

One guy's walking out slowly with no apparent weapon! SHOOT HIM! #monsterdon

It’s called a “force field” Mr. General Sir
#Monsterdon

And once again I'm on the alien's side! They landed peacefully, stepped out to say hello AND YOU OPENED FIRE WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A HELLO you deserve whatever comes next #Monsterdon

Well, I know who's not getting any pizza!

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

they clearly have superior tech

let's initiate a conflict unnecessarily

#monsterdon

Bofors on a truck... is that a technical? #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

After all these flying saucers buzzing around, bothering newlyweds and disrupting space programmes - one lands! Humanoid things walk out! And the US military is waiting with the heavy artillery, for a spot of immediate murder...

#monsterdon

@sean This sounds like LRRR except that no Omicronian would deliver a pizza without a side of doom

#Monsterdon

Wow, they just opened fire right away, huh?

#monsterdon

@jammerb They come in peace, shoot to kill shoot to kill, shoot to kill

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

that force field is pretty dope #monsterdon

"What is it?"
"I wouldn't know"

yeah thats kind of the point of an UNIDENTIFIED flying object

#monsterdon

Less than 20 minutes in and we see aliens! But remember to shoot first and ask questions later. #Monsterdon

YOU NEED A MASER, FOOLS #monsterdon

Flying saucer is just there to do donuts #monsterdon

Awesome. Blast the first contact. Great job, guys.
#Monsterdon

They want to be friends! Quick, shoot them!

#monsterdon
#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

these are some truly excellent 1950s flying saucers #monsterdon

@JoeWynne THERE we go, I knew it was something recent. #Monsterdon

I’m also finding it very charming that we use terms like “flying saucer” just completely unironically. #monsterdon

Little gray men! (Watching B&W version)
#Monsterdon

it pooped some guys! #monsterdon

Dropped him like a sack of sand. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

The tower scene made me wish for Stephen Stucker #monsterdon

a la Mars Attacks. like 75 years early. :D
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

@CactuarJoe
Same guy is General in 20 million Miles to Earth (1957) which we just saw.

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
#Monsterdon

I can't tell how much the dialogue is distorted audio and how much I just aggressively can't make myself pay attention to it for long? #Monsterdon

A flying saucer- and It's animated on the twos!
#monsterdon

Well, guess who's coming to dinner?

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Ground crew is just watching this big ass ship cruise by and kept doing the landscaping.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Well, Nash has put his foot in it.

Hooray for the Jeep. 50s. #Monsterdon

I could go for a lump of charcoal on a bun, thanks #Monsterdon

I'll give the dialogue credit for the joking, "Does it look like a flying saucer, lieutenant?" with a dead serious "Yes it does"

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Wow, ET's getting brazen. #Monsterdon

"Unidentifed object spotted" "What's it look like?" "It looks unidentified you knucklehead" #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

Those are wee rockets. This is the wee space program. #Monsterdon

Probably a buzzard- a big metal spinning buzzard.
#monsterdon

"Tell them to hurry it up!"

Ah, yes, haste! that's what we need in our space program!

#Monsterdon

Ohhh, "prepare rocket for launching." I thought you said "prepare Raquel for LARPing" and was getting her in the centaur costume. #monsterdon

What a pipe could Marvin channel Bob Dobbs any harder? #Monsterdon

"UFO approaching due west"

"What does it look like?"

I DON'T KNOW, DICKBRAIN, IT'S *UNIDENTIFIED* #Monsterdon

again you can dub dialogue when you film in a place with bad audio

#monsterdon

Did... did General Dad just tell his daughter he's happy she's gonna fuck in the Sciencing Room Where They Science?
#monsterdon

#monsterdon As a rocket man from way back... you kids these days, it's just your job 5 days a week (shakes fist at cloud)

what is this one of those spot the difference games #monsterdon

@aburka The dog inside was supposed to bark if anything interesting happened #monsterdon

It tooks less that a day to install a camera, but they didn't do it until their 12th space shot?
#monsterdon

Ring my friend I said you'd call, Dr Marvin. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

after a promising start with the sole woman in the movie insisting on receiving credit for her work, it has become clear that there will be no second woman for a bechdel pass. it's been almost a month now, right? #monsterdon

At least we’re not going to get a super squicky romance subplot. #Monsterdon

Did my man just invent telemetry? #Monsterdon

St. Elmo's Fire!?!?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?! #monsterdon

They've been launching rockets without cameras, radio, or GPS? What exactly were they supposed to do? #monsterdon

We've got Foo Lights! And apparently they've been seen around the base over the last few days.

#Monsterdon

Lost another satellite. Good thing we gots plenty. #Monsterdon

It's funny to think how many cameras would be watching those satellites these days

#Monsterdon

The general is her dad??! And they just eloped. #Monsterdon

Weak, I say.
#Monsterdon

"...what are those lights?"
"don't worry, that's just the LSD barbecue sauce kicking in"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

fool lights. well, we did volunteer to watch this movie, so, fair. #monsterdon

Who left the moon's high beams on this evening? #monsterdon

"St. Elmo's Fire!"

Or, howsabout, a UFO :D #Monsterdon

St Elmo was an ancient? #monsterdon

I am also agitated by moving air. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

it's orbs #Monsterdon

@blue ah, my special barbecue #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
Also, I am aware that Professor Dad is probably not actually a dad, I'm just calling him that because of Dad vibes.

@Taweret that's how we know they are aliens #Monsterdon

skyyyy nipples!!
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

"an accidental recording thanks to my dumbass husband who left the tape on like a dumb dumbass"
#monsterdon

@blogdiva wait- this movie is in color? I'm watching it in black and white.

#monsterdon

I think Tubi is onto us. I'm getting a lot more commercials.
#Monsterdon

Wait, did they fall to earth or blow up in space?

#monsterdon

Aw, Captain Halloway sent a candygram! :D #Monsterdon

are they having fondue with their burgers? #monsterdon

OK, so their priorities were tell about the super-sexy SECRET MARRIAGE first, and then, oh yeah, they saw a flying saucer on the drive back. #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Is that a fondue pot on the table? #monsterdon

What a huge bowl of salad greens

#Monsterdon

I love that we actually use the term “Outer space” in these things #monsterdon

@Taweret Look, this is white people in the 50s, they’re lucky it’s not hot dogs. #Monsterdon

Wow, back in the 1950s women did the grilling #monsterdon

@JoeWynne @Taweret pikachu surprised face #monsterdon

"Some saucers were seen in the Third World, but they must obviously be lost, losers...." #monsterdon
