what do i gotta do to get a nightgown with those lacy frills in 2024 #monsterdon
I WANT MORE ROTATING THINGS AND I WANT THEM ROTATING RIGHT NOW!
Nine (9) days. That's as many as three 3's. #monsterdon
The aliens have weird looking Furbies.
tired: Severe Weather
Wired: Atmospheric Violence
i appreciate that you both wrote and circled the number 9. that helped us all to understand
so much leaping!
Was 9 circled enough?
I ask the hard questions
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers We get the Obligatory International Scene where the aliens threaten people in different countries in various earth languages, so at least this movie remembers that places outside the USA exist.
Then the aliens throw some sunspots at us to harsh our chakra energies and I guess fuck up our weather. We then get another Obligatory Heterosexual Romance Scene.
I like that "Kaplan suit resolved" is still page one news in spite of everything. #Monsterdon
"you taste like beef!"
#monsterdon
The scientist doesn't seem to hold a grudge against her for squealing on him. Carol has quite the array of bedroom wear: cute blue pajamas, pink tulle flowy thing, did I miss anything? what's next? #Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers
"PEOPLE OF EARTH - ATTENTION. THIS IS A VOICE SPEAKING FROM THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM YOUR PLANET" - the communications of Earth were frozen? They should consider defederating - or at least limiting - the responsible instances. #monsterdon
KEEP CIRCLING THAT NINE!
#monsterdon
@CactuarJoe it'd be coffee anyway, wouldn't it? #monsterdon
The French make immediate plans for surrender. #Monsterdon
is galloping gertie going to be in this montage?
That Spanish sounds more like German, doesn't it?
fingers crossed the aliens are vulnerable to glasses of water #monsterdon
@msbellows I thought of that moment. π #Monsterdon
I like the CCCP banners TBH
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Narrator! We missed you!
Ah yes, back when it was pronounced Warshington. #Monsterdon
@trixter Trump: (looks at sun). #Monsterdon
"I'm going to say everything twice. I'm going to say everything twice"
the warbling probably would not be great for tonal languages. the aliens do not practice #DesignJustice #monsterdon
gargle gargle slurp gargle so i don't see why anyone else should have a good time. message repeats. #monsterdon
@Lazarou @Taweret If another woman wanted to be in this story she should have gotten married pronto #monsterdon
So the ray gun scared it away and then the saucer destroyed everything with its death ray? Itβs not looking good for Earth. #Monsterdon
"When an armed and hostile power lands in our capitol, we don't meet them with tea and cookies!"
Yeah, this is AMERICA, we SHOOT SOME FUCKERS #Monsterdon
This is a really good plan to get everyone on Earth to blind themselves. #monsterdon
(the subtitles are urging me to look to my son for a warning. don't talk to me or my son ever again.) #monsterdon
It's the Vogons!
Oh man, they played that short message for TWELVE HOURS? Torture to be aggressively burbled at for that long. #Monsterdon
a tremendous explosion on surface of the sun. but ..nobody knew, cuz they didn't have any way of seeing that... so ...
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
yes, that looks amazing on you, wear it *all the time* #monsterdon
In the 50s, you took alien technology to the Bureau of Standards. You had to request to expedite so they would pause their work on plumbing supplies.
...but I don't have a son!
#monsterdon
That man is an American in the 1950s, how does he know what a "gram" is? #monsterdon
@coprolite9000 It took a lot of hard work, but Earth's scientists invented good penmanship. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Nelson, get that off your head! You don't know who's been wearing it.
@aburka I give them credit for not mentioning retrograde though
saucer vision pro #monsterdon
All these people dropping from the UFO. Was this a Boeing contract?
"makes me superman" yeah, we see your underpants on the outside, sir. please, take it off. #monsterdon
Alien robocall. Block them #monsterdon
"...try on the helmet"
"why does it smell like vomit in here?"
<everyone laughs>
@amyfou Right? They were jogging in place on a stage. I loved it. #Monsterdon
"People of Earth, attention!"
This is the Interstellar Vice Principle! Be good or we'll blow up the sun! #Monsterdon
The alien translator flower sounds like itβs mocking her. #Monsterdon
I'm fascinated by the wall of bearings.
Superman?! Nah, heβs serving 100% dickhead
@SnoopJ oh yeah, works for every language we've encountered so far, after all. (T_T)(T_T)(T_T #monsterdon
"People of Earth Attention" Great. Space SPAM. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
that's the issue with every harryhausen movie tho. so many cool visuals and lackluster writing
It resists everything. Except bullets.
#monsterdon
You: You will be in trouble on May 3rd at 3pm. Big Trouble.
Me: Uh, who knows what that means, far to vague.
#Monsterdon
these aliens are very repetitive...o.O
Giant machine with oodles of cams and gears has really nice handwriting... #monsterdon
As you can see the aliens are communicating with astrology terms, leading us to conclude they're probably millennials #monsterdon
Put on eclipse glasses first tho #monsterdon
Dr. Marvin wearing the helmet looks like a knob #monsterdon
Better Living through Solid Electricity #Monsterdon
I really need this alien translator effect pedal
okay now we're into _real_ THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS territory
The translator looks like a bunch of foosball tables #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Wow! So many foosball tables!
"...one of the messages was a plan of attack. The rest were some really great sounding gumbo recipes."
*dude puts on helmet* Hey look at me Iβm an alien! Beep boop beep! #Monsterdon
"Solidified electricity!"
Fancy name for molded plastic :P #Monsterdon
Yeah, a handwriting machine is much easier to make than a typewriter.
#monsterdon
luckily the alien language is completely uninflected, #monsterdon
show off that Bryn Mawr degree, Nancy, hell yeah #monsterdon
incredible how the aliens also have a wordlike language where sequences of phoneme can be mapped 1:1 to discrete semantic units despite them being an atemporal species where time would probably not be the most intuitive way to arrange a language #monsterdon
This early prototype of the Vision Pro needs some design work #monsterdon
@blogdiva
πΆ The more you know π
@Taweret Weirdly savage for a technologically advanced species. I liked it :D #Monsterdon
PLAZZ HANDS!
That early computer looks like the MANIAC from "The Magnetic Monster". #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
These dudes have a real lo-fi Sontaran vibe
Did that UFO just poop people? #Monsterdon
oh wow they're building a vacuum tube computer on a giant piece of platform just like usagi electric on youtube! they _are_ an advanced civilisation!
Whatβs this about constellations? Is it giving them their horoscope? #Monsterdon
Look, it makes gibberish!
#monsterdon
IT'S HEX! FROM DISCWORLD! #monsterdon
lol, aliens burning our forests, just leave us to do that lads.....
@splott yes but from context he seems to be dead, or at least still braindead? #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers The war escalates and the saucers start blowing things up and starting forest fires with their Somewhat Larger Satellite Dish.
Back in the Science Board Room, we discover that the alien suits also have a translation kleenex in them. I'm not sure why they have a tiny translation kleenex in their suits but need a giant one for their conference barn. Maybe the larger kleenex stores more languages or something.
Air Dancer Aliens https://lookourway.com/collections/air-dancers
(or as I used to search duckduckgo to figure out what they're called, "wind sock guys")
TBH, our spacesuits on alien worlds will probably be about as useful as the ones on these aliens.
Here - you can have your brain-sucked father and the policeman back.
rear projected forest fire, I love it #monsterdon
THat's MRS DOCTOR MARVIN TO YOU
#monsterdon
It pooped some guys again! #monsterdon
Those aliens look like the bad robot from The Black Hole. Coincidence? I think not!
we've harnessed the power of all these foosball tables
I was sure Dr. Marvin was gonna get into the alien suit, and try to sneak aboard one of the ships.
Not to worry, our pollution will kill them soon enough
