augh jeez I went the whole movie without using the flying saucer emoji what a waste D: D:

🛸 🛸 🛸

#Monsterdon

@kcarp Yet snubbed by the Motion Picture Academy for the major awards #monsterdon

A close outcome! Goodnight, #Monsterdon!!!! 💙

@lytta A _surprising number_. Particularly the kaiju films. :D

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

So, did anyone check whether the Sun's feeling okay now? Might be wise #monsterdon

That was some solid mayhem and destruction! Hope to see you next week, monster buddies! #monsterdon

well that wrapped up surprisingly quickly with a classic #monsterdon fucking off into the sea, thanks all for a great one and to @Taweret as always for organizing!

Well, I'll give the 50s this, they knew how to make tight movies.
#monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret and the rest of the #Monsterdon gang!

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
#Monsterdon

Thank you yet again @Taweret for hosting this auspicious event.

And for all you Real Time Film Analysts, thank you for...

Slim Whitman, The Number 9, Hot Boudin, Toilet Bowling, Pubic Hair Mustache, Fire Arms, Tinkerbell, Code Cracking, Supersonic Dildos, Coveted Bedroom Wear,
and MORE

Dr. Dobbs destroyed the aliens with THX turned up to 11 then he and his good wife effed off into the ocean!

THE END

Great #Monsterdon @Taweret and also thanks to @jonny for making the colourful version available to this poor unworthy Canadian!

@WhiskeySailor No, but this is what made the JSDF _think_ they could

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

"...the present danger is ended"
"wait, the presents were dangerous? Who the hell gives out dangerous presents?"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

How can they know the present danger has ended? #monsterdon

We'll hide under the truck. They've only been exploded and disintegrated before.

#Monsterdon

"I'm glad it's still here." "And still ours."

Yes, it's a victory for WHITE PEOPLE in a WHITE WORLD #Monsterdon

And the protagonists fucked off into the sea #monsterdon

They could have crashed into the big open green space of the Mall but noooooooooo. #Monsterdon

The range on the humans' guns is only 1500 yards. The aliens could just stay out of range. But nobody in this movie can show a lick of sense. It's against the law.

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #Monsterdon

Riding around in the back of trucks shooting at technologically superior invaders?

Taliban vs Flying Saucers!

#monsterdon

KEEP FIRING AT SAUCERS, ASSHOLES!

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

3 minutes remaining without resolution in sight, now this is classic #monsterdon

Don't shoot the bad guys while they're still in the shimmery magic force-field! Think! #monsterdon

@Lazarou I dunno, between the obsession with Christianity and the obsession with guns I would expect a fair amount of resistance

#Monsterdon

Did they just obliterate the Masonic temple? I’m having trouble following all the DC highlights here

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers When the alien death ray shoots you, will you?

Take that Washington's Penis! #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

yo is this how the Gravitron ride at carnivals was invented? #monsterdon

Aw man. They couldn't blow up the White House? Even a little? #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers I have to say this movie doesn't seem to have the worst special effects for a 1950s movie. It seems the VFX is more realistic than original Gojira, even if the original Gojira people were very cognizant of their own limitations and did an excellent job working around them.

I enjoy the use of all this stock footage, but I'm also wondering how the deus ex machina is supposed to come back into it. The missiles seemed to be… pretty effective?

#Monsterdon

Trying to shoot it down with a pair of Nikes

#Monsterdon

There's a lot of stock footage but it's used so much more creatively than usual, with integration with new SFX in ways almost none of these movies bother with doing.

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

#TheSunDidNothingWrong #monsterdon

@kcarp right?! #Monsterdon

As per usual there's a lot of stock footage in this one, but it does at least seem to be of a better grade. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

This movie is so unrealistic…oh, wait….

#Monsterdon

The aliens could have just waited for climate change

#Monsterdon

too bad they don't have a godzilla #monsterdon

@Lazarou @Taweret A catfight would have spiced up this movie #monsterdon

@Lazarou @Taweret If another woman wanted to be in this story she should have gotten married pronto #monsterdon

Thousands of miles? Unheard of! #Monsterdon

"People of Earth: attention! This is an ad break." #Monsterdon

Solidified. Electricity. I mean…solid band name, that #monsterdon

@kcarp It means there's a loooooot of Gatorade in space

#Monsterdon

Man, another ad break. I'm gonna be so far behind.

#Monsterdon

"Solidified Electricity" he says, before putting the helmet on and looking like a clown

#monsterdon

Yes, we have all of our national security meetings next door to the undergrad life sciences lecture room #monsterdon

"Has anyone tried that helmet on?"

Yes, but it looks goofy. #monsterdon

“Look to your sun for a warning. But not literally. Do not actually look directly at the sun.” #Monsterdon

@Lazarou It does seem on track to be an HFY #monsterdon

@SnoopJ electricity always works! 1950s. #Monsterdon

Back when they still taught computers cursive.

#monsterdon

STARE AT YOUR SUN

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers plot twist: planets being in certain locations actually has no military significance. The aliens are just suckers for horoscopes and think an innermost planet in perihelion will give them bad energies because most of them are Tauruses or whatever.

The aliens have Google translate! #Monsterdon

@blogdiva
🎶 The more you know 🌈

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
#Monsterdon

We've brought you here to test the newest model Foreman Grill. #monsterdon

@blogdiva He should have used more moisturizer #monsterdon

The aliens schedule military movements using astrology #monsterdon

@trixter I really hope no one else votes because I consider this result to be perfect #Monsterdon

Arriving late. I got caught in a traffic jam in the upper atmosphere. #Monsterdon

"that's your classic Alien Grey there, very popular right now" #monsterdon

Ha, did they seriously just defenestrate the old man FROM A UFO? What a ridiculous way to die. #Monsterdon

"bullets! Bullets! we had no idea they'd have those!" #monsterdon

@Lazarou Ultrasonic nuclear war... a strange game. The only winning move is not to play. #monsterdon

"i think it's dead." well i hope so, because otherwise we're all going to have to learn a valuable lesson on shooting first. #monsterdon

I don't know why but this is how I picture the aliens under their helmets
#Monsterdon

That shot of the abandoned alien trying to look up at the saucer leaving them with no neck 😭
#monsterdon

Wait, GUNS work on the aliens? ...That's actually kind of a shocking twist. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou yes but all the alien lobbyists in attendance are just observing #monsterdon

#monsterdon Fig 3. Detail, "I Want to Believe Poster."

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
We have enhanced our noise gun by adding an amplifying trash can to the end of it. This will surely vanquish the alien menace.

This is just the video game X-Com now. #monsterdon

@Lazarou At COP34 we'll decide to fund a proposal to study the feasibility of developing a program to launch observational satellites #monsterdon

GO HOME SAUCER YOU'RE DRUNK #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

you've _gotta_ get those bearings looked at, team, i'm telling you

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Isn't that the Gravity Gun from HalfLife II? #monsterdon

They left their St. Elmo's Fire off the leash. #monsterdon

Our cars will certainly beat these saucers!
#monsterdon

I'm still not over the fact that the flying saucer only spins when it's parked #Monsterdon

oh wait so they aren't like able to project their senses through time and space they just have a drone lmao nvm #monsterdon

Russ has kind of a Reagany thing goin' on #monsterdon

@SarraceniaWilds Well, there are assorted rays and things flying around

#Monsterdon

look if the aliens already told me that they could monitor what i do and say all the time i probably wouldn't just be actively talking about and making a weapon to kill them #monsterdon

There's a lot more Corporate Espionage in this UFO movie than I was expecting. #Monsterdon

I've invented the floating ball! What was I supposed to be working on again? #monsterdon

ultrasonic gun and not one person wearing hearing protection? I guess OSHA wasn't around in the 50s either #monsterdon

if naruto has taught me anything its that the key to defeating a more powerful opponent is to get them to tell you about their childhood trauma

let's ask the aliens about their backstory

#monsterdon

"...if we assume a UFO is a sphere"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

@blogdiva I think I like the uncolorized version better #monsterdon

"It's only a paper moon." #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

You only need Slim Whitman #Monsterdon

blow! up! more! cement! bricks! #monsterdon

Ok aliens, trivia time! #Monsterdon

...if the aliens exist outside of time then how would sound waves be an effective weapon #Monsterdon #earthvstheflyingsaucers

And now, a traditional SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY sequence! #Monsterdon

"...nothing blew up, but the popcorn tasted great"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

@Taweret surprised and delighted at how dense this is compared to our usual fare. The first half of the movie contains at least one other #Monsterdon movie!

MAGNETIC MONSTER ENDING AGAIN HERE WE GOOO #monsterdon
