Thanks for the educational infographic, movie? #monsterdon

Y'know what this movie needs? More exposition dumps.

#monsterdon

that same rocket with the checkerboard fins shows up in so many 50s b movies

Wait shit, she's *driving* but I guess that lets the maaaale expose exposition expositionly. #monsterdon

"Because of modern advances, it is now possible to realize an ancient dream-"

Macking on girls in cars. #Monsterdon

wait in 1956 does "Mrs. Dr. Mansname" count as being a named woman #monsterdon

#monsterdon I love the gestures by the witnesses.

Brake checked by a flying saucer. Make sure you have your insurance card.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh great the narrator is in the car now...

oh my god this creep wants to die in an accident #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

They are letting a woman drive the car!
#Monsterdon

mrs hickey. jesus, dude, what did your third grade teacher teach you??? #yikes #monsterdon

Ew I LOATHE the “Mrs. Husband’s name” thing so so so so much. #monsterdon

This is not safe driving!

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #Monsterdon

Just flat-out putting operation names on signs, as was the style at the time. Showing feminist chops by making the feeemale a scientist who insists on having a name. #monsterdon

this dame and wanting credit for work, sheesh #monsterdon

That's MRS. DOCTOR- don't you dare let me be an individual!
#monsterdon

yes she did have eyes in the back of her head, after all SHE IS A MARTIAN

Turned the color off so watching the BW version now

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
Okay, we start with a spooked out narrator, a very zippy flying saucer, a reference to "rice paddies of the orient" and some 1950s airplanes. 1950s airplanes are neat, so that's a plus. So far our characters have been scared people panicking in an airplane and military bureaucrats panicking in an office.

So I'd say this movie is off to a good start.

Usual drill - mute #monsterdon if you'd rather not have flying saucers invading your planet (or your home feed).

Meanwhile - Earth vs the Flying Saucers! We've already had a dramatic narration warning us about these ''UFO' things...

When you hear "probing and digesting" in a UFO movie, you really do not expect the next word to be "information"

#Monsterdon

Technical effects by RAY HARRYHAUSEN *claps like a seal :D* #Monsterdon

So many (presumably military) scientists taking so many civilians seriously as they gesticulate wildly!
#monsterdon

"suggested by" i.e. we saw the title, but by the time this movie went through rewrites it had nothing to do with the original short story. #monsterdon

When debriefing, it is best to interview multiple persons in very close proximity to one another. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Coffee Status: Confirmed! Sadly, it was lost, but we are off to a great start!

Fire on sight? THAT'S a good idea #monsterdon

Yay Ray Harryhausen!

#Monsterdon

Ooh, the credits are in bloody typeface #monsterdon

#Monsterdon well i went with colorized... and it hasn't done anything to improve the special effects, so I deem it acceptable

sweet star wars homage #monsterdon

It's an office, but I don't see a single a single computer....pfft... #monsterdon

sat down & mashed play on Earth vs. The Flying the Saucers (1956) just in time for #monsterdon

We said the name of the thing!! #monsterdon

Movie's coming on strong this week. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

HUGE marlow. I mean, we got a BIG one.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

MISS HICKEY
#Monsterdon

HSDC? Not QUITE a bank, but they got the aesthetic. #Monsterdon

The flying saucer looks like Captain America's shield

#Monsterdon

Hemispheric Defense Command - I like the sound of that

#Monsterdon

Probing and digesting UFO info is basically the story of my life too #monsterdon

CALARADA SPRINGS!

"probing and digesting" #monsterdon

Love the flying saucer mimes.

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

I love the office full of UFO sighting reporting
#Monsterdon

No one calls em flying saucers anymore, it's a shame

#Monsterdon

Oh I love this, it's opening like a Stupid UFO Show from the '90s. Only thing missing is a Star Trek: TNG alumnus narrating. #Monsterdon

can't be real, there's WOMEN! O_O

FLYING SAUCER SCANDAL: Earth lightly grazed #monsterdon

Did this movie just WHOMP WHOMP itself?

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Are mentions of the bible on the bingo card? We've had them in a few movies this year.
#Monsterdon

Oh no not the coffee! #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

“Since Biblical times…” Yes a good epic start. #Monsterdon

Made it back from the grocery store with 10 seconds to #monsterdon o'clock. Bring on the flying saucers!

"...the rice paddies of the Orient..."

Hunh. Gonna be one of those movies, then.

#Monsterdon

voiceover guy sounds like he's wearing a smoking jacket #monsterdon

Spoilers: Jesus is an alien.

#Monsterdon

since biblical times. okay, we know right where we are with this movie. #monsterdon

@splott hmm, interestingly enough I just noticed the black and white version is three minutes longer. Not sure why...

#Monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert
