The soundtrack was probably pretty good before it was sliced and diced and vacuum packed like cheap hotdog meat.

#monsterdon

The incredibly slow tank looked so pitiful trying to avoid the poorly aimed UFO missiles. I felt more for it than for any of the characters. #Monsterdon

That might have been the one scene where they could give Michael Billington a top credit at the start. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon

Weight-considerations imply that the aliens would use low-mass, high-velocity ammunition, e.g. a BB fired from a rail-gun.

But: An high-energy round hitting even a limb can severely mess-up all the internal organs (via hydrostatic shock). You'd think that if they came here for organs and were well in advance of our technology, they'd have worked-out something better, like Larry Niven's 'mercy bullets',crystalline shards of anæsthetic in his 'Gil the A.R.M.' stories.

and that's why you don't skip pangalactic species testing in clinical trials #monsterdon

well, we're 2 for 2 on aliens, anybody got any other ideas?

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

The latest alien’s hair looks very plastic, but he probably just has gelatine in it. Little known fact (to me initially) synchronized swimmers use gelatine to keep their hair in place.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

Why they think the alien can understand them?
That was just stupid
#Monsterdon
#invasionufo1980

I know, right? The pacing is *terrible*.

FACTORY

FOOTREST.

#monsterdon

So, they've captured two aliens, then killed them without learning anything.
Well worth ten years of prep time.

The drug will lower your resistance.

It shouldn't be much more than a couple of hundred ohms now.

Is that doctor going to kiss the alien? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

This is some creepy shit.
"You leave us no choice but to use untested chemicals on you" #Monsterdon

WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU ABSOLUTE TOOLBAG?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO1980

"Highly Intelligent"

I… have seen no evidence of that.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO1980

You can tell it's highly intelligent by the advanced nature of the sleeping it's doing

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Everybody knows yew-foe pilots wear chain link thongs, that's just science #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

The alien is just thinking "I really want a Zima rn"

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Yup!
#monsterdon

The alien has a chain thong over his suit #Monsterdon

@allanb CRITICAL

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon Oh yeah, bingo, I counted the twee little stubby jet as a military vehicle

Sir, I think this alien is Tim Heidecker pranking us

#Monsterdon

wait he absorbs oxygen through his hair?

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

XCOM guy voice: "commanderrrr, you were supposed to bring in the UFO intact. The Council is very displeased."

#monsterdon

Where that guy comes from, red is perfect camouflage #Monsterdon

@fabio

Oh wow. The 1980 film Invasion: UFO was based on the 1970-1971 TV series UFO, which looks cheesy too.

@diazona plot??
#Monsterdon

@Binder Could it be a PAL to NTSC conversion artifact?

#monsterdon

Wow that UFO was absolutely _loaded_ with cocaine!

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

The aliens have a kinky little chainmail thong :x #Monsterdon

the aliens have a shinier prop gun, clearly their technology is far above ours! #Monsterdon

"We want it taken alive so lets shoot it directly in the face with a machine gun" #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

They need more practice in How Not to be Seen.

#monsterdon why do they have armored vehicles with no weapons? I blame Straker. Now, who's making victims?!?

ouchie, right in the visor

@Lazarou Must have marooned out in the second season #Monsterdon

@Lazarou @moira @nev i know someone who had a crush on captain scarlet #monsterdon

#monsterdon the UFO landed in Canada, trying to get Canadian citizenship. They're from planet MAGA.

*tanks deploy from the plane, ruining the forest*
"You guys know there's a shuttle bus, right?" #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

the aliens are running an illegal Canadian logging operation!

Dude, it's not her fault you're cranky because you stayed up late to watch Monsterdon last night.

He literally has no idea how to do his job. He just told her to do it the usual way when the usual way is for the commanding officer to ... command. #Monsterdon

The purple hair women would know which one to send in

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

“Nothing to report” sums the movie up so far #Monsterdon

@klu9 @bstacey

No, she's from the moon, they flew her back.

This is B roll from Damnation Alley #Monsterdon

*Puts on shades*

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I'll be honest...

I just want to see the Flatwoods monster eat a screaming British man

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou that's only on the moon #monsterdon

Eeeee these cute little soft armor tanks. I wanna just pinch their treads. #Monsterdon

Lexfield, so I hit 'em.

#Monsterdon

So is puppet world real and this is their dream or vice versa?

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

So that crash landing is where Star Trek Generations got the idea from. RIP Enterprise D.

#Monsterdon

Ya know, these tanks are better actors than the actors. #monsterdon

The control techs inside the tracked vehicles apparently don't get the purple hair. Must be a moon perk?

#monsterdon

“Maybe our TV show would be interesting if we cut out all the boring slow bits”

Nope

#Monsterdon

Apparently, it landed on a poorly made scenario

Brown wigs on Earth, purple wigs on the moon. #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

For some reason I am developing a desire to eat some Vietnamese noodle soup. 🍜 #InvasionUFO

Yayy, more Thunderbirds toys!

#Monsterdon

The UFO has landed in the Land of the Lost. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @moira

Supposedly Stanley Kubrick had the "2001" spacemen actors so flat because he though that was part of being someone who just would not panic no matter what.

#Monsterdon

Have the Yoofoes done anything aggressive? I was distracted by the pea-green architecture

@rebeld Still wigs though, they just tone-match their natural colours. The mid-forehead spike is mission critical no matter which planet

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@floatybirb @jsadow @Rozzychan

Rocks and trees! It's Canada! #monsterdon

@nev It's hilarious! He was so sick of puppets and so mad about his and Sylvia's wildly successful career making shows with them and he finally gets to do live action and makes all his actors act like puppets.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

They build planes like I do in KSP: badly #Monsterdon

Wait, they're saing UFO now? What? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

A turtleneck and a jacket without lapels.

That’s the future I was promised and didn’t get.

What’s even the point anymore?

#Monsterdon

@mnamkrane this movie is just about me learning about all the kinds of vehicles that exist
