can we get some aliens these days to get pissed off at some satellites? or did they just see the sheer numbers we've got up there now and give the most intergalactic shrug, like, That's Your Own Lookout. #monsterdon
They're talking about... space invaders!
Hope they brought a bunch of nickels
#monsterdon those burgers look dry as sawdust
"...ahhh, my special barbecue"
"yes, it's made with my special LSD glaze"
"when a rockets blasted off it should circle the earth for a long time"
no shit, no wonder the Russians were winning at this point in the space race.
No, what could take down our space satellites...oh, we saw a flying saucer from space today. Anyway, what could it have been...
#Monsterdon
Well, we seem to have multiple cuts of the movie in circulation ...
@Taweret This was common in movies up to the 50s. At some point we stopped calling our parents "Darling." And I, for one, am glad.
a burger is not barbecue
You've got G-Mail!
@moira please yes oh please yes #monsterdon
Bring spoons for your coffee! #monsterdon
Coffee!
Fell in Africa, fell in the Andes, our intelligence is racist too #monsterdon
Man, they've got the whole Ninteen Fifties Idyll Set out there at the grill, huh. #Monsterdon
COFFEE! COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!!!!!!
COFFEE!!
how can there not be anything explosive in a rocket??
COFFEE! Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee
no gun...In The World?! <dun dun DUNNNN!>
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
There's nothing explosive in our rockets, sir #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers Pretty sure the art of the satellite orb is from one of the illustrations to Werner Von Braun's moon mission thing.
THere's nothing explosive... in these rockets.
#monsterdon
The rocket launch explosion sounded like a flat tire and I canβt stop laughing. #Monsterdon
there's nothing explosive in a ROCKET
So... What happened to that whole idea of stopping the rocket launch
I am getting confused (as appropriate for this event)
Did she just call her dad βdarlingβ cuz..thatβs weird, right? #monsterdon
Are women in these movies always the daughters of powerful officials?
#monsterdon #broads
Wait why is the guy getting in the driver's seat now, that woman is fucking *unflappable* #Monsterdon
He burned number seven?
#monsterdon
@apLundell tape is expensive! #monsterdon
Gotta say, General FIL is pretty chill.
#Monsterdon
"You forgot to turn it off!" is she angry that he captured evidence of a UFO? #monsterdon
This was before they invented "tee minus"
oh that's quite a backfire you've got doin' on there, I can't tell whether your fuel's too lean or if you need more lead in it, not without breaking 'er down a bit
Married?!?
I'm suddenly realizing how little I know about old timey special effects and how they achieved stuff
on another note: well that sure was one way to tell your dad you eloped #Monsterdon
hey, Mr Curtis can count backwards, good for him! #monsterdon
@Configures i can't wait to see what colors it is in the next scenes #monsterdon
@bunnyhero @paco Their clothing is separating from their skin already? #monsterdon
This honeymoon is getting kinda weird #monsterdon
Aaaand boom. #Monsterdon
Yup, that sure does sound like a flying saucer. #monsterdon
Don't talk to me unless your spaceship makes slide whistle noises #Monsterdon
@socketwench They did have that one episode in 1969 though
@jonny Now now, Carol's wearing that blue jackety thing #Monsterdon
I like how they're tracking satellites without satellites.
@paco oh that does look like a decent colourization job. actual separation between skin and clothing! #monsterdon
Project Skyhook was a srsly real thing #monsterdon
Hooray for our heroine setting an appropriate work-life boundary
Oh hey, the General. I recognize him from something... What was it... #Monsterdon
Nothing will happen to the tape recorder with valuable UFO evidence that they left in the office, I'm sure #monsterdon
Flying saucers straight away right on...what's next flying teacups? #Monsterdon
Unironically loving the typing sounds #monsterdon
That is a medical condition you should get that checked out #monsterdon
There are probably sounds of attempted mobile makeout on that tape too #monsterdon
He could only afford the model without a rewind button.
The bunker? What the hell kinda rocket are you guys launching? #Monsterdon
How you know this movie is set in the 50's: people who sighted UFOs had no cellphones to take video to immediately post to YouTube! They had to drive all the way home and dictate what they saw to the operator!
Environmental storytelling #monsterdon
you know if the audio is that bad where you're filming, you can dub in the dialogue
They certainly didn't tease us with this one. First saucer before the six minute mark. If only they treated it with any urgency.
#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #Monsterdon
Going a few minutes back but can I just call out the lack of wisdom of making out with the person driving your car
It's like a 50s remake of The X-Files.
#monsterdon
3 out of 4 martians smoke chesterfields. Smoke thats....out of this world.
#monsterdon
of all the places to do live audio
Time to think ... time for a smoke! And another kiss! #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
He's so manly he doesn't need a smoke, but *she* does. #monsterdon
Oh hey, it's the sugar factory from Empire of the Ants, nice. #Monsterdon
Wife and Husband sitting there afterwards like "it's ok Honey, you're tired...." #monsterdon
Time for a smoke. Also, what happened to her Italian accent? #Monsterdon
don't let him gaslight you, Nancy! #monsterdon
our #monsterdon leading man tonight, John Hamm
my sister is making cookies and the cat jumped on her back while her hands were covered in cookie dough so she needed help extricating him lol
anyway, continuing now
"The artificial satellites, or moons... or birds, as we call them. Yes, rocketmoonbirds." #monsterdon
@sean Look, theyβre scientists. They have to be reasonable at all times! #Monsterdon
Post-Saucer Cigarette!
You know what would help? Getting cancer!
#monsterdon
SOUND off ONE two SOUND off THREE four
(i mean, let's face it, Harryhausen's version of Close Encounters would be The Shit(tm) ) #monsterdon
I think that flying saucer pilot ate some weed recently
honestly the colorized version make it look like every colorized newspaper ad you've ever seen from the 1950s. wish i'd chosen black and white...
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
"A hot date with a 3-stage rocket." is a good line.
#monsterdon
i do love a classic flying saucer
Those kids and their flying discs, always driving like fools!
So, it's just buzzing random cars?
#monsterdon
Our First Saucer Arrives And Makes Funny Noises Before Departing In Haste
Damn teenagers driving that saucer, coulda nicked the finish on their car #monsterdon
Subtitles spelled it "analysed" even though American fillum is Americaning Americanly. Just me? #monsterdon
Was driving down the road one day and a plate pulled up in my rearview AND TOLD ME TO SHOVE OFF #monsterdon
Road Rage UFO
#Monsterdon
nothing beats animating on 1s. it's so expensive but so cool
#Monsterdon Rude! He didn't even signal.
are they gonna get sunburns on one side of the face? do we get to see sculptures of Devil's Tower in this movie? #monsterdon
UFO's mad the wife passed on the right back there, it's the extraterrestrial highway patrol. #Monsterdon
Operation Sky Hook? #Monsterdon
hell yeah, we're getting started right away
#Monsterdon AHA! BIRDS *are* a government plan!
Did this scientist just say his 3rd-grade teacher told him he was a quick study ... for KISSING? #Monsterdon
Tonight on #Monsterdon our planet is battling UFOs in GLORIOUS PSEUDOCOLOUR thanks to @jonny (since us Canadian folk aren't worthy of the Tubi edition)!
