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

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

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

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

"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 #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!

@Taweret makes it hard to keep up with the timeline! #monsterdon

America’s answer to everything - a new type of weapon

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva Just like Microsoft stole "Cortana" from Halo. #Monsterdon

"We will return your father and the police officer after we've err......'had our fun'" #monsterdon

"You have two of your lunar days" is just chef-kiss quality scifi dreck. #monsterdon

if the fate of the world rested on me remembering like 10 digits for long enough to write it down we would be toast #monsterdon

@Taweret see, they know baseball! But they maybe Yankee fans so...
#Monsterdon

"What have you done with my father?" "We sucked his brain dry of information and left him a mindless husk. Is that wrong?" #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

Goddamned alien LLMs #monsterdon

Something tells me they're not gonna get much out of Coppy McShootington's brain there. #Monsterdon

@diazona They don't shortchange you!

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
#Monsterdon

Their pulse slowed, but the rest of them is normal speed? #monsterdon

How come their hearts are stopped but not their flapping jaws? #monsterdon

Wait, did we just get Arrivaled? #monsterdon

No pulse, but my brain works fine. Neat!
#monsterdon

Really feel like the cop is going to be the Red Shirt on this.
#monsterdon

@georgieboy

That man is a communist!
#monsterdon

so, that portal is like... the flying saucer's vagina, right?

#monsterdon

Dammit, Mrs. Scientist. Don't be a narc.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Cyclotron is the best ride at the fair - they don't need anything else!

You get these great careful detailed composite shots then the loud clomp clomp as they step into the cheap plywood set. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

Cop's gonna give the UFO a ticket.

"...hey, you can't park here!"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

which is the movie we saw weeks ago with a beach scene?

#monsterdon

Chesapeake Bay looks a lot like Malibu.
#monsterdon

Come on you came all this way, you can't just leave without saying hi to the aliens

#Monsterdon

boy meets flying saucer, classic romance structure. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Heya, Russ! This is Secretary Sweetie comin' to ya' on Channel 8, come back now. #CB_Radio_Mama

@CactuarJoe Look, they understand humans. #Monsterdon
