this is a really cool sequence i have to say
Why are you taking that helmet to the lab when there are flying saucers to shoot down?
Wow, alarmingly good "destroyed plane" footage
Stiff as a board? #monsterdon
@Zerofactorial Noooooooooooo! #Monsterdon
See this is what I was talking about #monsterdon
mrs. marvin, of the martian marvins
The armor is light as a feather, but they only took the helmet.
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers Alien dude lands, isn't sure what to do, so he phasers an old guy with a cane.
After getting the war crimes out of the way, he then remembers his job and shoots a truck that I think was carrying the ray gun.
Then he gets shot, and we reveal he looks like a wrinkly arilou before vanishing into the ether. Professor Dad says that the alien was really old and the space suit must be a electromechanical suit based on no evidence other than wrinkles.
Yessssss gross!! They didn't know we'd decide Greys don't have noses, but otherwise ahead of its time
hiiighwaaaaaay to the dangerzone #monsterdon
flying away from the forest fire, nice scene - but really that whole thing was awfully nice, the aliens are legitimately not fucking around
did that saucer just blow up the giant ant sugar factory? #monsterdon
Oh no, they blew up the paint company!
#monsterdon
Ha, did they seriously just defenestrate the old man FROM A UFO? What a ridiculous way to die. #Monsterdon
Finally! Aliens! #monsterdon
The aliens are Jedi?
Dropping the bodies from the saucer: Total "Fuck You Stern Letter To Follow" #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
good thing they called in that bomber.
#monsterdon
humanoid, ancient, wooden #monsterdon
DUDE they dropped the bodies straight out of the saucer? _Hardcore_.
Welp, I guess they didn't promise to give those guys back ALIVE....
okay the alien actually looks pretty good too
Apparently nobody caught on to the fact that having two arms, two legs, and a head might imply that the aliens were humanoid
Wibbeldy Wobbley flying saucer! #monsterdon
I like the force field fx especially #monsterdon
Oof, someone's not getting their extraterrestrial Smokey the Bear Safety Badge. #Monsterdon
Mmm the ray leaves the scent of fresh potpourri. #Monsterdon
"Don't jog too fast, we only have 15 feet of soundstage!"
ACK ACK!!
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
Briefly looked like lost flying saucer person wanted a hug. But no - arms were outstretched just to fry the boffin... #monsterdon
THat armor is about as effective as star wars stormtrooper armor.
#monsterdon
There's some great carnage in this one. Saucers don't fuck around. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
the little shuffling aliens are so goofy
Soβ¦what sound guy made the decision that our super weapon thingymajic was gonna sound like a stalled out car? #monsterdon
oi oi, grandpa was just out taking a walk, no need to vaporize him. rude. #monsterdon
Wow, the actors in those suits can't see a goddamn thing, huh #monsterdon
Loc-nar sighting!
#Monsterdon
next time on Dr Who #monsterdon
this is actually just showing at the drive-in, they're catching a peek over the wall
St. Elmo is here for his fire.
gasoline powered magnets... the only force that can destroy flying saucers
Maybe don't just stand there while the stiff-limbed alien lines up his shot. #monsterdon
Maybe it's just their faith in Russ, but I feel like I would *not* stand in front of an experimental weapon, even if I thought it was highly directional. #monsterdon
βHumanoid and Ancientβ is my favorite KLF song. #Monsterdon
@apLundell The bearings they used were provided by the low bidder #monsterdon
Wow, an American scientist happy to share the glory with other boffins. That's how we know it's fiction.
Aaaand of course they self clean. #Monsterdon
"Humanoid and ancient" and in the bath too long. so many wrinkles. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
exo-skeletooooooooons
luckily these aliens are only extremely advanced and omniscient in some areas and completely oblivious in others #monsterdon
E.T. got left behind!!!! #monsterdon
the saucers seriously look so good tho
Go home space aliens, you're drunk #monsterdon
@aburka
Always pleased to have domain experts participating in #monsterdon
Would the aliens be more or less effective at their assigned tasks if they had elbows? #Monsterdon
The aliens can bend space and time with magnets and sound and download our brains but they haven't figured out knees and elbows or kevlar for their space suits #Monsterdon
Aliens: "We could conquer your world, but we don't want to. We'd rather start diplomatic talks."
Humans: "Let's kill them all, I guess?"
#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #Monsterdon
Wait they have death rays *in* their arms?!
bro they left that poor little domehead guy behind that is so fucking rude #monsterdon
i heard you were looking for an earth-shattering KABOOM!!
#monsterdon Oh, so the aliens weren't interfering with the generator somehow? It was just a shitty generator? Fantastic. Good work team.
Exterminate!
#Monsterdon
That alien is hammered. #Monsterdon
Ever thought of burying a steel cable and as they get near it. Pull it taut and trip the clumsy buggers. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon, maybe the flying saucers would make less noise if they didn't spin so much.
"help me."
#monsterdon Fig 3. Detail, "I Want to Believe Poster."
Got distracted by a loud disturbance outside and now I have no idea what's going on with #monsterdon. Looks like a very intense laser pointer?
good shot!
HA, alien walking out of the building like MY FUCKING RIDE! #Monsterdon
Yes, let's make a concrete mine and watch it from a distance of 10 feet.
"...hope they haven't spotted us"
"do you think we should have covered up the generator truck?"
"oh shit!"
luckily for me I was able to punch @uptownsongclub in reality #monsterdon
@Lazarou Perhaps this is related to the whole "existing between time" thing
I hope there are named female characters for them to meet in Washington #monsterdon
Man, those costumes are stiffer than the tree monster of From Hell It Came #Monsterdon
@lytta you know, because of how they did gravity and electromagnetism and time moving for them is standing still and vice versa #monsterdon
Crap, they killed Tinkerbell! #Monsterdon
"We have television, they may have a different device that serves the same purpose!"
Such as Netflix, our YouTube!
Quick, there's one of those ceiling lights again! My cat told me about these!!!
It doesn't look at all like St Elmo fire!!!
#Monsterdon
Scientist Russel invented⦠magnets? #Monsterdon
clap if you believe in atmospheric phenomena! #monsterdon
Well, shooting worked this time.
the damn car won't start!
woah woah woah, did shooting it just work? #monsterdon
you shot elmo! #monsterdon
did the foo fighter bonk into a pipe? #monsterdon
"...dot does not fetch!"
Oh no, it's an alien laser pointer spot #monsterdon
#monsterdon "What was it?" Well it looks like you just killed Tinkerbell.
Not the worst "day for night" shots we've seen, but it still never works. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers
"We need the largest portable generator that Schenectady makes!"
#monsterdon
They killed a baby Rover? #Monsterdon
Everyone stand down. @RobynGoodfellow's Slim Whitman (ie, Mars Attacks/"Indian Love Call") tweet above wins #Monsterdon.
Chef's kiss for the ominous WHOMP WHOM from the brass section there, soundtrack. <3
How 'bout that narrator's term "functioning reality"? We'll take one please!
