More like Interceptor lost, amirite?
I'd say this movie has lost the plot but we all know it's never had one. #monsterdon
Gerry Anderson just wanted to do continuous shots of aircraft and spacecraft flying around. Plot be damned!
That comment I made in the section head choeckoff is absolutely true: Gerry hated his actors making facial expressions because he hated the way it made faces wrinkle up. After working with puppets for so long he just couldn't deal with it.
The aliens have stolen our Skydiver technology!
The rotating you-pho is so cute #monsterdon
@wulfric "Interceptor!? Damn near killed 'er!"
I am kind of... really enjoying this!
The yoofo landed in Canada. TODO: Insert bagged milk joke here? #Monsterdon
Why couldn't the guy just⦠maneuver? This isn't air traffic control over O'Hare. It's fucking space. It's huge and largely unpopulated.
@jsadow
Hmm. The TV show is longer, with more plot. Some episodes have themes. Some of the scenes are extremely silly and dated. Some are just psychedellically weird. More model effects. Mostly, it's "more".
Sky 1? Great, are we shooting Love Island episodes at the UFO?
Oh wait I think I've seen the corresponding episode of "The Red Green Show" where aliens visit the Possum Lodge #Monsterdon
@cargot_robbie @ohiofi That would've been next level. I don't think our society was ready. #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
Itβs Northern Canada so Iβm safe, everyone! #monsterdon
"Everything we've got that flies is out looking for it."
Cue the three flying things previously established. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon and now it's time for the Space Man's Frug
Yuuuufoe = 1
Human = 1
The universe is currently tied.
#Monsterdon
Not sure I appreciate the Canada shout-out. #monsterdon
Oh well. I guess the fishnet submariners are our best hope now.
"Your report tells me what happened, but I want to know why" well it's because Gerry Anderson had, like, three ideas total, ever #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
@ohiofi Gerry Anderson had just one story.
What if the you-foes are actually no-foes. #monsterdon
This scene is literally him watching women w/ purple hair do all the work. Are they hiring? #Monsterdon
and yes we're off to another different episode after hop-skip-and-jumping through "Identified," episode 1.
So the purple wig is part of their uniforms? I think I'd rather have the fishnet shirts personally. #monsterdon
Dammit, used up all the missiles again. How long to reload? What do you mean three hours? #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
Itβs βThunderbirdsβ meets βSpace 1999β with a smattering of βProject Bluebookβ
Still waiting for Moon Base to issue a Purple Alert.
Geeze. Why are these guys even up there? They can't hit anything? #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
Why is this scene in the movie, if not to just show off sexy women with purple hair.
I appreciate the purple and silver lesbian polycule on the moon. Perhaps there's hope for humanity after all.
Why is he the only one allowed to wear a suit?
#monsterdon
Wha? I thought the discount spacefighter died? #monsterdon
It's Joan, Nina and Gay
Their job is say "red alert"
#Monsterdon
I know all rockets look like penises, but that one was positively SpaceX in it's penosity.
That red plane looked terribly awkward during vertical takeoff.
"Make the take off and/or the plane sexy, damnit!"
All their budget went to model ships, and it shows. #Monsterdon
"Red alert? Are you sure, sir? It does mean changing the bulb."
Here we see the mother plane giving birth to the baby spacecraft...
Very British Names
Welcome to the moon. Here's your purple wig. #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
y'know a billion miles of space is, like, Saturn
I thought the greatest force in the Universe was the desire for ice cream.
The future in the 80s is so tacky.
But damn, nice thunderbirds!

#invasionufo1980
You know it's an old movie when the doctors in it are smoking. #monsterdon
I would totally believe that the universe has corners in this movie's reality
DUDE WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE INFERENCES YOU HAVE ONE CORPSE TO GO ON #Monsterdon
Heβs describing Silicon Valley!
"Driven on by the greatest force in the universe" Caffeine. #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
IT CAME FROM EARTH #monsterdon
The one alien probably sacrificed himself to prevent the writers of this movie from making contact with the rest of his species
Alien, we salute you π«‘
Great. Green British Vidiians.
They can travel thousands of light years but can't grow replacement organs. #monsterdon
You racists just plugged an IV of saline solution into this dude & thought it'd work like it does on people? #Monsterdon
Earth is their Risa. They head to the Villages in Florida, where their green coloration isn't such a big deal.
UFO pronounced βYou Foβ.
Everything is more dramatic when it is said by a reflected image in a crystal ball.
A dying race, you say?

#InvasionUFO
very excited to learn the three important questions about you-foes:
1. where are they from?
Every time they pronounce UFO as "U-foe" I think of these guys.
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO
"Question two: Anyone want pizza?"
@JoeWynne "Nevermind" no rush. #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
He's dead Jim...
Time for the real alien autopsy to begin!
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
@floatybirb Ohhhh...maybe that explains why they didn't bother to explain the plot because the audience already knows?
Bandaid did not save him π #monsterdon
And even with the aliens' death, he remains the best actor. #monsterdon
Remember to stay hydrated while watching a bad movie gang.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
This dude better not start singing about how hard it is to be green. #Monsterdon
calling the body floating in the water a "glimpse of legs" so that's a #monsterdon #monsterdonbingo on the mega card
Oh shit, David Bowie got stuck in another waiting room! #Monsterdon
UFO? you fo? Yu Pho!
Plot. Missing. FACT.
Why does this man have a desk anyways? He never sits! Just paces around his office like a tan cat.
#monsterdon X-com makes a bit more sense now, after seeing this.
He's part of the Teal Man Group.
why he must be from an advanced civilization where they have socialized medical care #monsterdon
Colloidal silver alien needed a band aid β€οΈ #monsterdon
Aliens: They're just like us, but blue. #Monsterdon
Plastic eye shells are indeed the pinnacle of evolution
βConfirm: did you say βbodyβ?β
βYes, itβs Mr. Boddy in the conservatory with the pipe wrench.β
This whole thing about breathable liquid as an atmosphere substitute in a high-delta-V craft goes back well before this show (or movie)
Wrong temperature, pale skin, and poor muscle development? My god! The UFOs are piloted by programmers!
"we'll know more once we ask chatGPT."
Commander Straker has got a very squeaky voice, like he's on helium the whole time.
Perhaps a million billion zillion billion

#Invasion:UFO has everything! Temu 2001, Mission Impossible, Pink Panther, In Like Flint, James Bond, and Star Trek music!
@floatybirb I didn't even know it was based on a tv show.
please stop saying you-foh
#monsterdon is there no radar on these planes?
don't be doing this. don't be pulling out someone's eye disks. don't be pulling out someone's eye disks in close up #monsterdon
I love the part in Nightmare on Elm Street where Freddy takes off the burn makeup
Oh, he's not so dead then....
Abducting the alien, eet's a tweest #Monsterdon
